Lincoln.

Captain S. A. McMurray OF
Louisville, KY, a commercial
man who was a Roswell visitor
this week, tells some interesting
stories of the early days. He
has been coming here for years
and came the first time with the
.Alkali. He said about, twelve
years ago he was persuaded to
take a, trip to Lincoln. He was
the only passenger and rode in
Singer sewing machine wagon.
The driver was a Mexican and
the team of mules we're about as
big as your fist and they were
named Jaffa and Prayer. Jaffa
was a very bad mule and occa-
sionally refused to go and the
Mexican would get out and
throw rocks at him and Mr.. Nc
Murray said he sat up in the
wagon like a crow. ."Of course,
he said, you can imagine that
trip one of the most delightful
trip OF my life"
