GOOD YEAR FOR SHEEP.
Hon. solomon Luna Submits to a Brief
Interview.

Hon. Solomon Luna, of Los
Lunas, came in from the south
this morning, and is trausacting
some important private matters
here today.
Mr.. Luna was seen by The
Citizen representative and he
stated that he had just completed
lambing and sheariug a big flock
of sheep on his ranges west of
Magdalena,/ and would now
concentrate his working force on
the Bosque del Apache ranch,
near San Antonio, where the
wethers he purchased last year
from Roswell parties will be
sheared.
MY wool output" said Mr..
Luna, will this spring amount
to l 400 sacks, and will be ready
for the market about June Is.
Lambiug has been the best in
many years past, about 90 per
cent, and the condition of the
ranges were never better for the
raising OF sheep"
Mr.. Luna stated also that the
Magdalena ranges the past few
weeks have been visited by some
fine showers of rain, bringing
forth abundance of nutritious
grass, and filling the water holes
with good water. The gentle
man will go south tonight to San
Antonio, Socorro county, and
thence to the Bosque del Apache
ranch.-Albuquerque Citizen.

The San Antonio MlIItnrr R,nd.

Our thrifty neighbor, the town
of San Antonio, is to have
musical organization with the
above written title for its name.
Some twenty five men and boys
of that place have signed their
names to its muster roll and by
laws. The instruments were
received last Sunday and now
the boys are happy. The citizens
of that place, always ready to
promote features of public spirit
and beneficial to their town,
subscribed literally toward the
fund for the instruments. We
bespeak success for the new
venture, especially so now that
we learn that Prof. p. A. Marcel
limo is in charge of the musical
part of the organization, and if
the thorough knowledge of the
art, the patience and dogged
perseverance with which Mr..
Marcellino is credited count for
anything, we shall soon see the
San Antonio Military Band rank
among the very best of our terri
torial bands. May you meet with
speedy success. Be sure and come
up and give us an occasional
Sunday concert, and set a good
example to our boys.

LIVE STOCK ITEMS.
The Chleftain's Correspondent Writes Of
Matters Of Interest TO stock
Growers.


Magdalena, N. NJ, June S.
The Red River Cattle Co. is again
making extensive shipments from
its immense ranges west of Socor-
70, Cole Railston, the local
manager, having the first of the
week sent off another train load
of young steers to the compauy's
northern ranch in Colfax county.
The roundup and shipment
was followed by a dance at the
Allen House to give the town
people an opportunity for better
acquaintance with the hardy
range riders whose work contri-
butes so much to the prosperity
and business activity of every
Cow town." An enjoyable time,
as usual.
Messrs. ]. B. Jennings of Jcn-
nings, Kaus., and a. l.. McKiu-
mis- of Ottawa, Kaus., heavy
horse shippers and we'll known at
Kansas City and the other whole
sale markets of the East, have been
at Socorro a time or two during the
past week and are contemplating
a tour of inspection through the
horse herds of Socorro, Sierra,
and Grant counties looking for
something suitable for their
trade. They are men of standing
in their line and have left good
impression on the local stock-men
who have met them.
Cattlemeu and flock masters
from the central part of the
county generally report the range
rather dry now and in need of
immediate rains. Watering
places are still holding out fairly
well but not much improvement
can be expected in the grass until
there is heavier precipitation.
The amount of wool now being
delivered almost daily at Magda-
lena by the long trains of freight
wagons arriving from the various
sheep breeding ranches of Socor-
ro county is immense and gives
visual proof of the importance to
WHICH the wool growers have
developed their industry.
This resource is evidently in
the future to cut a leading fig
ure in all that pertains to our
country's growth and welfare,
but at present it is to be regretted
that our tax laws are in such
shape or are so badly administer
ed that many of the hocks of
sheep on our ranges are of no
benefit and are even of very
great detriment to the county
that affords them sustenance,
yearly driving out of business
stock growers of long residence
here whose annual contributions
to the public treasury have been
one of the chief sources from
which we have met the necessary
expenditures for the common
good. Every mine owner, business
man and tax payer is as directly
affected by the question as the
local stockmen who apparently
have been the first to feel the
imposition shrewdly legalized by
a choice cotorie of legislative
manipulators with decreasing
reputation and conscience.

Sound common sense marked the ut

+ Each speaker urged the Importance
of the bank clerks association and
the Importance Of self-culture and the
preparation for emergencies. Said

BARTENDER In TROUBLE
Police Follow Up Testimony That
He Sold Drinks to. a
Minor.

Another case Of selling LIQUOR to
minors was brought to light in the
municipal court this morning during
the trial of Olaf Greenlund, bar
tender at the Blue Ribbon saloon, Ill
Washington avenue S, on charge of
petit larceny.
Greenlund was accused of having
taken a watch from John Gustafson,
a 17-year-old boy who was drinking
in the saloon with colored friend.
Greenlund was off duty at the time
and while somewhat intoxicated he
insisted on drinking at the expense
of the colored man. On the latter's
refusal general scuffle ensued and
when things became quiet the boys
watch was missing. Gustafson says
that when Greenlund was locked up
in the police station he offered to
give him SO to testify that another
man took the watch. Greenlund was
found guilty and fined $50.
At the close Of the case a warrant
was Immediately issued for the ar
rest of Gustav Olson, the bartender
who sold the liquor to the boy on
the night Of the trouble. It IS al
without questioning his age.
The authorities are determined to
punish every offense Of this kind and
it is likely that a straight sentence
will be given in every conviction.
Warrants will soon be issued for the
arrest Of the proprietors of the Cedar
avenue saloons which are said to be
general loafing places for minors.
