Business being dull at his court,
Judge Wooster has turned his atten-
ton to springing jokes. Saturday af-
ternoon as the sun was sizzling down
and frying things on the pavement the
judge dropped into certain black
smith shop to sit down minute and
mon the perspiration aff his veners Bile
brow, and innocently remarked that
"it was a terrible thing that happened
down to the station just now" The
jokee then inquired what 1t was. why
a man just got off the train down at
the station and froze to death. He
leaves a wife and two children. The
inquest will be tomorrow and I want
you to all come up to the office"
Promptly at the appointed time next
day the fellow appeared to see the in
quest, and remarked that he was sorry
but that the other boys could not get
off at that time. The judge then said
the inquest had been postponed until
tomorrow, Sunday, and at the same
time grinned. The fellow then got
CLEAN of light and thought how he had
been taken in. He later sent word that
he would take two cents for himself,
but the judge refused and said he
would only give one.
DR.. Estel and wife of st. Louis, are
in the city with a view of locating
here. The new law makes 1T necessary
for physicians locating in New Mexl-
co to be examined by the board first,
unless they hold certificate from GER
tain colleges, and as the board has just
met, it would compel him to wait six
months before being able to open up,
and that may make it impossible for
him to stay here, as he wished.

occurred in that part of the country in
sometime. There We're about 5000 head
rounded up and they were knocked
down to Frank A. Manzanares, Jr., OF
this city for the sum Of $4,000. The
crowd from here that attended has re-
turned, and reports quite a trying trip
on account of the heat. The trip is
120-mile one, and the route is not lined
with refreshment stands, to say the
least.
William Glassford is somewhat un-
der the weather, he suffers with inter-
mittent chills and fever contracted
back at West Point.
Some miscreant tried to tap the
chewing gum slot machine at the de-
pot, and only made trouble for the
agent by running the lock. 1t is no use
to try to beat these machines, in any
way, for they are made to withstand
Just such efforts.
Hon. Charles A. Spiess feels glad he
is living today, for he had several mar
row escapes from calling at the other
side while returning Saturday night
from Fort Sumner in campany with
Captain Austin George Kelly and Mr.
Robinson. 1t was not the company that
was dangerous. Mr. Spiess says, but
