querqus Won From EI Paso.
LONG, CLOSE CONTEST.

The game of chess between the Ell
Paso club and the Albuquerque club,
played by wire, which began yesterday
afternoon and closed toward midnight
with victory for Albuquerque. added
one more scalp to the local clubs un.
crossed record. In the many games
that have been played by the Albuquer-
que club, with clubs of the territory
and surrounding states, in no instance
at any time were they more confident
of winning game, than they were of
winning the one played with the Ell
Paso cracks yesterday. The event was
more of tournament than a game,
different and separate games being
played by different members of the
different clubs.
Yesterdays tournament was rather
long and drawn out, the wires being
used and working badly. The intervals
of playing sometimes being stopped
for several minutes at a time.
The report at this end was received
in the brokerage Office of Metcalf &
Strauss, and a large crowd assembled
and watched the playing.
Score by games:
Colby, Albuqueras crack player
was the first one up and was pitted
against Tell, Ell Paso's strongest man
Colby won easily.
Mundelle (Albuq) won VS.. Brown

men Of Denver.

DESTITUTE TRAVELLERS.
Receive Succor from Kind Hearted and
General People.

Many kind and generous hearted
people came to the rescue Of the large
family of destitute travellers who are
camped at the corner of South Fourth
and Hazeldine streets. Sickness and
famine had overtaken these people of
California seeking homes in Oklahoma
and their journey came to standstill
here. The head man of the party is
sick and consequently everything has
stopped. Their plight would have been
sad indeed had not the citizens come
to their aid with food and clothing. A
stove was erected foc them in place of
the little campfire In the end of the
tent and wood in large quantities was
brought to them. The poor little chill.
dren, nine In number, are living much
more comfortable than they were Sat
urday when visited by a Citizen re-
porter.
Many visited the little camp of dis.
tress yesterday and some went so far
as to criticise the men for not provid
ing for the family and lifting them out
OF their present stste of restitution
but when the true. state of affairs is
considered the men cannot be cen
sured, when the unfriendiy hand OF
fate has been over them constantly for
three months-ever since they began
the journey to seek homes in Okla
homa.
A great many people have taken ur
the matter and are providing generous
ly for the family. Mrs. William Farl
stated to Citizen reporter today that
if there were any people who had any
old clothes they were willing to do
nate, that she would call for them anC
deliver to these poor half-starved, i'll
clothed children with her own dona
tions. 1t Is purely a case of where the
head of the family is taken SICK, being
unable to travel or work, and they
suffer because of his misfortune.

BIG FIGURES OBTAINED.
Joe Barnett Purchased Property Now
Occupied by the St. Elmo
PAYING $4,000 FOR IT.

This morning, in accordance with
an order Of the court, T. S. Hubbell,
acting as special master, sold the
property on Railroad avenue now oc-
cupied by "The st. Elmo" in front of
the court house to the highest and
best bidder.
The property belonged jointly to
George X. Neher, who owned four
fifths and Joe Barnett, who was the
property.
Both these gentlemen were present,
and both being wealthy, bidding was
pretty lively.
1t started at a figure, under other
circumstances, for which the property
could be easily purchased, but these
two gentlemen had everybody else
buffaloed and kept piling on the thous-
onds of dollars at rapid rate, until
finally $4,000 was reached. A few
hundred dollars were then added,
when Barnett nodded his head as the
auctioneer announced s21 200, and he
secured the property at these figures,
paying s1100 more for it than he did
for the Talbot corner.
Mr.. Barnett explained that he did
not care to move-he was enjoying a
good paying trade at the stand he had
occupied for the past eleven years,
and was willing to pay big price for
the property. He informs The Citiben
that he will soon improve the place,
by putting in a new front, and thor
oughly renovating it throughout, for
the future occupancy Of The st. FL
mo.
This sale being made and the prop
erty purchased by Mr. Barnett, the
store and Office rooms in the new Bar
nett building are now on the market.
and applicants can now renew their
applications.
