The New Mexico Interpreter, Of
White Oaks, has been enlarged
and given new name, the "Old
Abe Eagle" Probably in honor
both OF the famous Old Abe mine
and the still more famous Old Abe

Abe Eagle is the only deccntlv APP
pearing newspaper this writer has
ever seen issued from an office in
White Oaks. one of the most de-

Heretofore a "mcchanical botch,
and generally of the most horrible
character manageable, is the best

Of being sunocated. When he reached the bot

TO the rear of the tank to repair the stop cock.
The work men. who had retained bold on the
rope: noticed after, a time that Moran had
teered to go down and Investigate. He
was lowered into the, tank and found
Moran lying apparently dead. He fastened a
rope about his body. and was then raised to
the top. When the body Of Moran had been
hauled up Ave or six feet the knot on the rope
slipped and the body fell back again. Presi:
