LOCK YOUR DOORS.
Stocking-FOOted Burglars Working
Santa Fe OH a System.

The attention of householders is called
to the fact that burglars are systematic
ally working this town. 1t is fact that
very many citizens here never think of
locking their doors at night. They know,
especially the old-timers, that the native
resident, no matter how vicious he may
be in other directions, is never burglar,
and this knowledge causes very many
residents never to pay the least attention
to their household bolts and locks.
Within few days, however, several
attempts at burglary have come to light.
On Monday night stocking-footed In
truder was scared out of Mr.. GlldersleeVes
residence just as he was opening bed
room door, and night before last Mr.. W.
E. Griffin chased burglar out of his bed
room. Last night, about IL O'Clock, while
Mr.. Sherrard Coleman was peacefully
slumberlng in his room in the Improve
ment row, some smooth individual went
through his effects, rlhing his pockets
and securing several dollars in change
and gold watch.
The police should keep a sharp lookout
for suspicious characters and residents
will do well to look more carefully after
their premises in the future.

Some of the circus men played trick on
him yesterday whereby he was buncoed
out of $500 in cold cash.
The sixty-odd pupils at the Presbyte-
rian mission school enjoyed the circus
last night, being admitted by the cour-
tesy of Sheriff Cunningham.
Election news is still the chief topic of
the moment, and the New MEXICAN fiat
tiers itself that its reports, national by
telegraph, territorial and local, have been
the most complete presented by any
newspaper in the territory. No ethel
paper undertook to give tabular state
ment of the local result on the day fol
lowing the taking of the vote, and the
precinct figures were generally accepted
as pretty close to official.

Winter weather.

The country prophets are practically
unanimous in announcing that this will
be an uncommonly severe winter, and
they say that all the signs agree with
their prediction. An Ohio farmer, who
says that he has closely observed the do
ings of the weather for more than forty
years, has issued statement, which reads
as follows:
"Coons and 'possums have a heavy
growth of fur coming on. The chipmunk
and the squirrel are the busiest little
animals in the world. The insects have

cold weather is coming.
