FLEW HIGH FOR A WHILE.
Negotiated for Ranch at $4,000 But
Could Not Raise $50.

A few days ago w. A. Louks. of
Pitfsburg Pa. registered at the Shelby
hotel In Roswell. Shortly thereafter
the rumor was current on the streets
OF the town that Louks had purchased
the J.. F. ID. ranch near that place. The
ranch contains about LIS acres OF
land and the purchase price was stated
to be sl50.000. Louks said that his as
sociates In the east and he would
put considerable money In the enter
prise and would raise nothing but
high grade cattle.
The people of Roswell regarded
Louks with a feeling akin TO reverence
for 1t was felt that his presence and
purchase of the property in question
meant much TO the town. The land
lord of the Shelby hotel did not have
as much faith in the capitalist as some
of the citizens and when Louks left for
Captain without paying his board bill.
500 mine host had warrant issued for
ouks although the latter had stated
that he was going to the town to look
after his mining interests there and
would return shortly. Louks was over
hauled about twelve miles out of Roc
well and taken back to town by con.
stable. His bond was fixed at 5000 but
some of the business men signed his
bond and paid his board bill. They did
not want the capitalist TO be diseour-
aged. Louks was grateful for their
kindness and stated that he would re-
ceive 100000 from home the following
day and that they would be reimburs.
ed. That night Louks decamped and
J has not been seen or heard from
since
While he had practically accepted
the terms OF the management OF the l..
+ ID. ranch for its purchase he had not
paid anything on II. Some OF the peo-
pie with whom he came In contact
think Louks is partly insane and la.
boring under the Authorization that he

program. The citizens must do some
work attendant upon such an event. as
the old veterans are fast passing away.
The labor should not only be done from
a sense OF duty. but out of loving re.
membrance and appreciation OF what
the noble dead have done TO unite the
people. protect the homes and insure
the prosperity that we have so abund.

time or pains II requires when we
think of father or brother who gave
his life? Instead II should impress us

memorating the lives and deeds Of the
departed comrades, who gave their
richest gift to the cause they loved.
Then again how feeble Is our patriot
ism compared with the grizzled veter-
ans who faced shot and shell, sickness
and Imprisonment to preserve this
grand and glorious nation. Let every
one put their shoulder to the wheel
and aid In perpetuating this occasion.
The Citizen will print from time to
time the arrangements that the com.
mittees are making. so that its readers
will know every detail that Is to be
carried out on that day. Every patriot

bly, score OF Michigan capitalists and
corporation agents who are on the
market for copper prospects, and min
ing sales OF considerable consequence
have ceased to attract attention be-
cause OF their frequency. The Copper
Queen. controlled by Phelps, Dodge &
Co. OF New York, has long been known
for Its heavy production OF the red
metal and its distinction of being one
OF the few great copper producers OF
this territory but the exploratory and
development wave which has literally
overcome Bisbee and surrounding
camps during the past two years has
resulted In the opening Of so many
vast copper deposits that the Copper
Queen shortly can be regarded as only
one OF a number OF big copper produc-
ers whose combined production will
place the Warren district In the front
rank of the worlds copper sources.
