little engine as it comes putting up, draw

happy-faced boys and girls? / notice a

The exhibits both in the poultry and

1t seldom happens that an association

Columbus Manufacturing company, is
charged with the crime. he fled the city
and officials here located him early this
morning in West Point and say he was ar
rested there. He will be brought back to
Columbus tonight.
The woman who was with Wheeler was
Mrs. Maggie Everidge, who resides on
South Railroad street. Phenix City.
She was located by the detectives and
when McSwain died they made an effort
to get her to tell of the affair.
This she reluctantly did after much per-
suasion at a late hour last night, and
told where Wheeler could be found. Whee-
Ter came here about four months ago from
Texas and very little is known OF him.
Until the matter was cleared up, VIII Ell

IMPROVEMENTS At FORT BAYARD.
A Solarium Is to Be Erected for the Sani-
tarium.

A contract has been let by the United
States government to Arthur E. Rem
die of New York City, for the erection
of glass recreation pavilion, or solar
ium, at the Fort Bayard sanitarium,
and he in turn has awarded the grad
ing, concreting, mason work and car
penter work to the Black & Atkins Co.,
Silver City. The contract for the struc-
tural steel work has gone to the Cam
bria Steel Co. Work is to be commence
ed at once.
The solarium is to be large steel
and glass building in which the pa
tients at the sanitarium can gather and
receive the benefits of the SUMS rays
when the weather is such that it would
not be advisable for them to be in the
constructed entirely Of glass and steel.
On the sides there will be large win
dows or shutters which can be opened
opposite from where the wind may be
blowing, thus enabling the consump-
| tives to breathe the health giving ozone
of that section and avoid the dust and
sand. In rainy weather the new solar
ium will be found equally beneficial.
Major Appel has been anxious to Sc
cure this improvement ever since he
has been in charge of the sanitarium,
but the necessary appropriation has
just been made available. He is satis-
fled that it will add to the success of
the treatment of tubercular patients,
and will hasten their recovery, provid-
ing as it does for the benefits of New
Mexico's climate every day in the

DISAPPOINTED
HoMBSBEKBRS
They Ask the Government to Open to
Settlement the Kiowa Lands Reserved
for Cattle Men.
1926 ACRES In The RESERVATION

Lawton, O. T., Aug. s.-A movement
has been started here among home
seekers who lost to have the govern
ment open up the three reserves in the
land lottery which it set aside in the
Lawton district before opening. At
meeting of 100 or more it was decided
to petition the interior department at
once to take such action. These re-
serves embrace 532, 500 acres, or about
$3.50 quarter sections. The land is held
in reserve because the government an
ticipated that the cattlemen who had
all of the Kiowa-Cc ncLl country
laaf d for pastures will not lie able to
find pastures in Texas or the other cat
tie grazing sections readily. If the cat
tlemen can round up their cattle and
get them to government reservations
this fall, the homeseekers argue, they
can find pastures somewhere else by
next spring. The homeseekers are will
ling to buy the land outright from the
government.
