Another cloud-burst in the Organ
mountains last Friday sent the water
down the arroyo in the lower part of
town about ten feet deep, flooding all
that portion and all the ranches in the

in that quarter collapsed. No lives, how

above keep and all other costs. Yet there

not be made to pay here, and thousands
of dollars are sent out of this community
for Kansas live and dressed poultry.

1t was in '76 at Henrietta, Texas, that we
formed his admirable acquaintance while
running the Henrietta journal. It's only
nineteen years ago since he whipped the

to ride 100 miles in search of law and
order. John Wesley Hardin was real
desperate in those days and used to say
that his whole ambition was to die with
his boots on, and now it appears that his
wish was fully satisfied. Requiescat en-
pace.
