The Bent County Democrat finds
fault with this great family journal
because it "'never forgets to speak
of the prosperity that keeps rolling
in." 1t likens us to the man who
insisted that "things were looking
up" for the reason that things
were fiat on their backs and could
not help looking up. Then again,
there are some men who are so
welded to their political creeds
and theories that they do not and
will not, unless it is in their favor,
admit the evidence OF their own
existence unless some one pokes
them with sharp stick. The man
who still persists in croaking of
"hard times" and insists that there
is no evidence OF prosperity these
days. is very much like the ostrich
VINO fees from danger by sinking
his head deep in sand dune.

A Cutting ser.ee.

ohm E. Bloom and ames w.
Mcintyre got into an alteration in
Mike Tryor's saloon last Wednes-
day morning, and when the bar
keeper tried to separate the two
belIgerents. who were engaged in
a wordy warfare, Mcintyre reached
over his shoulder and stabbed
Bloom, cutting cash about fine
inches long from the center OF the
cheek along the jawbone. Bloom
was taken into JOYS drug store,
where Drs. Dow and Zimmerman
attended to his injuries, eight
stitches being required to close the
wound. Mcintyre was arrested by
Doc Howard and turned over to
Marshall Nixon, who placed him
in the county Jail.
Blooms injury, though painful,
is not serious, and he was able to
attend the preliminary examination
which took place before Judge
Douthitt Thursday afternoon, Dis,
trict Attorney Sabin conducting the
prosecution and d. w. Carey APP
pearing for the defense. The evil
dence showed that bad feeling had
existed between the men for some
time, and that Mcintyre was the
sole aggressor in the cutting scrape,
Bloom having made no hostile
move toward him. although he did
have small penknife in his hand
at the time.
Mcintyre was bound over to the
April term Of the district court, his
bonds being fixed at $500.

Mrs. Parker and Miss Pearce were
elegantly attired in the colonial
costume OF the days of Washington,
and stood in line and received their
guests with stately dignity in the
reception room to which the ladies'
were conducted by little Miss Lee
in charming manner.
The elegant rooms of the Parker
residence had been beautifully
decorated for the occasion, the
house being darkened and family

Told 1T the Depot and Il nos heids
the Championship.

Quite a crowd were gathered
around the Santa Fe depot telling
stories and each one told was "big-
ger" than the rest. The story
tellers were divided between farm
ers and railroad men. and the
stories were OF terrible wrecks and
large crops. and they were stories
OF no small imagination. One
farmer had told OF a carrot that
grew SO deep that it had to be
blasted out and an old railroader
had told OF wreck where the en-
gine jumped clear over a car, when
a modest man who was neither a
raiiroader or a farmer stepped into
the center of tie crowd and said,
81 have heard your stories and |
want 10 tell one that is both good
from railroad and an agricultural
standpoint. You all know OF the
large melons grown at Rocky Ford,
Colo. ? Well, what do you sup
pose was the largest one ever
grown there2"
"Iwo hundred pounds" said
one.
"Big as a barrel" said another.
"No, you are all wrong" said
the story teller, "the largest melon
grown there was grown last sum-
mer. 1t was about half mile
from the railroad tracks and it
grew at the rate OF forty knots an
hour. The fact is it grew so fast
that it wore the rind out and all
the railroad tracks were washed
away by the water in the melon -"

Stole . Locomotive.

Last "Wednesday Tom Foley, a
machinist who recently left the
service OF the Santa Fe com
pany at this point, endeavored
to establish name and undying
fame for himself by stealing Santa
Fe locomotive. Since his re-
lease he has been having hilar-
ious time about town, spending his
money like prince and doing his
best to ..corner" the liquor market
OF this burg. Wednesday his funds
had about reached their lowest ebb,
and he began devislng ways and
means wherewith 10 leave town in
accordance with his princely sta
ton. He told several friends that
he intended to swipe locomotive
and leave for El Paso in the alter
noon, but they paid little attention
to him, not having the least idea
that he would have the gall to carry
out the idea.
1t seems, however, that La Junta
whisky will make man do strange
and unaccountable things, and in
the middle of the afternoon the rail
road officials were informed by
trio OF tourists that a dead engine
was on the main line south, having
been deserted by a man whom
they thought was hardly in con-
dition to handle the machine. a
switch engine went out and brought
her in. Foley had climbed on to
the 43o and at the edge of town
picked up three tourists, and said
that he would take them clear
through to Ell Paso if they would
stay with him. The tourists
thought he was all right and they
had struck snap, but when the
"engineer" pulled the throttle wide
open and started off at a mile
minute clip, they changed their
minds and began to cast about for
some method to hit the grit with
out breaking their necks.
Fortune favored them as the en-
gine had only about enough steam
up to sound the whistle and was
low on water A short distance
from the Y the engine "died" and
the tourists returned to town. They
informed the railroad officials and
officers started out in search of the
"engineer. Foley started across
the country, but got dry and came
back to town, where he was ar
rested by Marshal Nixon. He a,
first claimed that he "didn't know
nothing about any engine" but on
his way to Jail admitted that he
started for Ell Paso with the 43o,
but the "machine went dead on
him and he had to quit her."
