George Weber has returned to Lords
burg from Chicago and announces that
hereafter he will devote his exclusive at
tention to promoting the interests of
the Chicago & Gold Hill Mining COM
pany.
Oscar Hudson, formerly of Durango,
Colo, employed near Hopewell, this ter
ritory, accidentally shot and killed HIM
self few days ago while carelessly hand
ling six-shooser. OF course he had for
gotten that the gun was loaded.
G. Sartorias, an Italian miner, was
crushed to death in the Blossburg coal
mines last Friday night by a cave-in
while drawing pillar. His two sons,
who were working in the same room with
him, narrowly escaped the same fate.
While MIR. and Mrs. j. M. Tyler were
attending the grand Thanksgiving ball iu
Socorro their fine residence and most of
Its contents were burned. The probable
incendiary was the innocent-looking ,oal
oil lamp left burning on the table.
The San Marcial Bee unblushngly af-
firms that two little Chihuahua pups,
Juanitg and Chichita, owned by Mrs. A. M.
Hunt, recently won the first prize at the
North Missouri Poultry show. Doubtless
they were entered as new breed of Bal
timore bantams.
Captain A. B. Fitch, the operator Of
the Graphic mines and smelling works at
Magdaena, was recent visitor in So
zorro and reported everything connected
with the mines and smelter to be moving
along smoothly. The smelter is ship
ping the usual quantities of bullion.
The religious editor of the San Marcal
Bee was deeply chagrined and mortified
to learn. while in Albuq querque the other
day, that the Salvation Army in the boast
full Dncsl City consisted of only two wiry
rather than willowy female adults and
two toddling nonpareil specimens of
humanity of the approved kindergarten
age.
Jimmy McCreed, quarrelsome ex
bartender of drinking place called tho
Bulls Head saloon down at Dsming,
ended trivial dispute with miner
named Lee Taylor, the other day, by
plsyfully ripping open Taylor's right
breast to the ribs with big pocket knife.
One disputant jailed and the other sewed
up.
IL the District court ct Silver City lei
doro Ruiz entered plea of guilty of mur-
der in the second degree and WAS SEN
fenced TO term of 50 years at hard labor
in the penitentiary. Ruiz epologeticelly
~lsined that he wRs drunk when he
e,r,,.;a,, his six shooter into the body of
Talras af, 40 latter was wounded. The
apology earned him TN ''o''D'''oN VI "
sentence for an even century.
Socorro would be good locatlo.,
canning factory. Thsis the best natural
field in the world for the raising of fruits
and vegetables, which are of superior
quality to those produced in the east.
The canning factory at Las Cruces which
sells its entire product before the season
opens is an illustration of the popularity
of New Mexico products and the profit
of the business in this territory, says the
| Chieftain.
The Silver City Enterprise gleefully
bregs that "while other portions of the
United States are visited by snowstorms
and bllzzgrds, this favored land of sun
shine is enjoying such genial tempera-
ture that the musical mosq uito joins in
the Thanksg evening song on Novem-
Der 25." Next the Enterprise will doubt
less try to stir up spirit of envy by
claiming that the interesting little mid
night explorer, fsmiliarly known as cimex
lectularius, never hes to go into winter
quarters at blessed Silver City.
Don: II. Kedzie, editor of the Lords
burg Liberal, recently succeeded E. O.
Belt as postmaster of Lordshurg, and
imm ediatey nvailed himself of his edi-
torial prerogative by administering COM
fort to his official predecessor after this
| fashion: "Now that Mr. Belt has got rid
of the postoffice he can devote his time
to pushing the prosperity of his soda
water works" Clearly Brother Kedzie is
likely to develop into q dangerous rival
of one of Jobs famous comforters.
