Social note from the San Juan Index:
Everybody admires the spunk of the
young wife, mentioned last week, who
quirted her drunken husband. They all
say that when woman takes boy to

right course.
A certain young lady of this vicinity
was heard to remark, recently, that she
did wish she had one drop of common
blood in her, so she could tolerate COM
mon people. We have no use for such
self constituted aristocracy in the Pecos
valley, and the sooner they are convinced
of their true merit by utter Indifference
on the part Of sensible people, the sooner
Will we attain, and maintain, that society
which is to be desired in every intelligent
community. Roswell Record
Las Vegas note; The city council last
night refused the request Of tho school
board for levy Of mills and granted
levy of :, mills. The law does not seem
to allow the council any discretion in the
matter, but requires them to levy tho tax
when the school board requests them so
to do. There are two opinions in town.
One is to get an injunction against the
council and compel them to levy the tax;
the other is 10 accept what they have done,
run the schools as long as the money lasts
and then close down.

OF recent years new danger has been
added to life upon the plains from the
attack OF the bold coyote or wild dog of
the plains. Under normal circun stances
the coyote is Cowardly animal. The
writer hss seen hundred or more formed
in a circle around his campfire without
in fact in those days coyote
no more attention than Jack
rabbit does now. But due to some fact
unknown to the writer, Of late years
coyotes have been frequently known in
the southwest to attack travellers in broad
daylight or to sneak upon them wrapped
up in their blankets at night resting un-
suspicious OF danger, five deaths occurred
last year in New Mexico from this cause,
one of them near Albuquerque in the
vicinity of He'll canon. Prospectors and
parties in camp will have to take greater
precautions in the iuture.-El paso Bull |
