while prospecting in southwest Chi

came to this locality Kitchens life was
despaired of but his health improved
rapidly. AS soon as he was able to
| get about without assistance he joined
a party of prospectors bound for the
mountains of Old Mexico. HE ate their
rough fare and slept in the open
air for weeks and grew
stronger daily. The party finally drew
near the summit of the mountains
where the attitude approached 5000
feet above sea level. This was too
high for Kitchen and he succum bed. His
companions were obliged to carry him
beyond the summit and when lower

recovered. On the other side of the
range he discovered q mine which is

apt to comment upon this popularity

as the place where strawberries are
plentiful the year round.
This morning one of Ell Paso's lead
ing merchants, who Is bicycle en-
thusiast, rode up to the curbing on the
west side of the pOstoffice to get his
mail. After he went in some little
boy in passing his wheel knocked 1t
down, and the fall broke the end of one
of the grips. The man came out and
when he saw that his wheel was knock
ed over he was mad, and those near
thought that he was going to ask bless
ings on the boys head. but instead he
began to tell the many reasons why
there ought to be bicycle stand on
that side of the building for the use of
the many riders. He said that when
the wind blows hard it is impossible to
lean a wheel up along side of the curb
and when it is not blowing it Is hard to
make one stand there, and he didn't
see why some of these enterprising ad-
vertising firms didn't put a stand there
with an advertisement on it.
Numerous citizens have been raising
q howl lately because several youthful
dog catchers continue to ply their vo-

are others who favor destroying as
many of the stray CANNES as possible
for the reason that Ell Paso has enough
and to spare of dogs.
The oyster season is now at its
height and the toothsome shell fish is
being consumed by the gallon in Ell
Paso.
