Pecos Valley Enterprise.

The sheep industry of the Pecos val
ley is attracting widespread attention.
Messrs. W. A. and c. A. Otis. Jr., have
bought for SIS. 900, the Corn Farm
from the Roswell Land & Water Com
pany, and will stock the same with fine
sheep. The farm contains 800 acres,
with fine water rights, 100 acres OF al
falfa and a good orchard. The Otis
boys are the sons of Vice President Otis,
of the Pecos Valley & Northeastern rail-
way.
Eddy is to have a fannie extract fac
tory. viz. the plant at present located
at Deming. The wild product around
Deming has all been used up, and lack
of irrigation water prevents cultivation
to advantage in the neighborhood, Eddy
people appear to be able to show that
canaigre can be successfully cultivated
in Eddy county, and that there is enough
of the wild root to keep the factory run
ming until a regular crop can be planted
and harvested.

years, Vorking about 20, 900 tons of ore

At Phoenix they organized a terri

A Peculiar Circumstance.

Last week, the day after the big flow
was developed in w. G. Urton's ar
tesian we'll at his RIVERSIDE" stock
farm, the flow suddenly ceased except
a very small stream. AS great many
pieces of rock had been disch arged
from the pipe by the strong
pressure it was surmised that large
rock had got fast in the pipe and OBJ
structed the flow. Several experiments
were tried for the purpose of remedy
ing the trouble, but proved in effec-
tuai, although the effort was prolonged
until dark. About O'Clock that mig hit
a loud rushing noise was heard at the
house come distance aawsy by the men
in the tent close by, and it was discov-
cred that the water was flowing again
with full force. About six feet from
the pipe, on the ground, lay two good
sized rocks, one of red sand stone
weighing AZ pounds, and one of white
sand stone weighing pounds. The
water had finally 1oosened them and
thrown them out.-Roswell Register.

AT THE FOUNTAIN
A Yedrllng Concludes To Take a
Drink of Baird Water.

An amusing incident occurred Tues
day at the fountain at the foot of Mar.
ket street. A bunch of cattle was
being driven past the fountain when
one of the yearlings concluded to take
drink of Baird's pure sparkling
water. While he was enjoying his
drink an old COW (perhsps a jealous
town cow gave Mr.. Yearling q hoist
with her horns and into the fountain
he went head first. Some how the
yearling turned On his back with his
head under the water and his heels
sticking up in the air.
1t looked for bit that Mr.. Yearling
would drown before he could extricste
himself, but after kicking most of the
water out of the fountain he managed
to scramble out, wiser but sadder bo-
vine. The incident furnished con-
siderable amusement for the bystand-
ers.
About all the damage done to the
fountain vas to bend the water pipe
that stood in the center of it.
The city council did not expect
the fountain to be used as a swimming
pool for stock, consequently the pipe
was not strong enough to withstand
the kicks received by the frightened
yearling Baird, Texas, Sun.

mony OF Other Witnesses.In All
Points Except AsiTo the Owner

placed Upon. the Stand

The state rested in the Cory Black
case yesterday afternoon. The same
| witnesses were examined and the same
testimony adduced as In the trial of the
| defendants nephew, "Dud" Black.
The defense, however, followed an
dant was placed upon the witness
stand. He admitted that the testi-
mony of the other witnesses as to the
b bgg 0' of Int the 'ai beef the to
Ysleta and then to Ell Paso, where it
was sold was all true, except in one
particular He said that the cattle
killed belonged to him and bore the
brands. "H G" and "U2". Hedepied that
brand, ''22'' on the left sides of the
two cattle. He said that the butcher,
Stolz, was mistaken about baving
bought the beef from ''Pink" Black
that he had sold the beef himself aud
bad received the money therefor, some
thing over $18.
The defense then decided to put
"Pink" Black on the witness stand AS
he is now In the custody of the federal
authorities 1t was necessary to get
their consent to take him from the
Jail to the courthouse and recess OF
about an hour was taken for this pur;;
pose.
"Pink' Black was brought to the
court house in the custody of United
States Deputy Marshal Hildebrand.
His testimony corroborsted that OF
Cory Black. He said that two cattle
killed bore the brands "H. c." and
gu. q" He said that he had traded the
cow branded 'U. 2" to Cory Black.
The district attorney wanted to in
troduce the record to show that Cory
Black had no registered brand. The
court would not allow it, however.
Mr.. Dean. also wished to introduce the
testimony that the witness Cory
Black is under another Indictment.
The court would not allow this for tn e
purpose OF showing the
credibility of the witness. but ruled
that it might be shown If the district
attorney would show any connection
between the two indictments. This
was not done.
The defense rested with the ex-
animation of "Pink" Black aud Dis
trict Attorney Dean had begun his
opening argument for the state before
the noon recess. The case will go to
the jury this afternoon.
