to the tales Of the dead mans

Some Of the railroad men report
that Billy Goblin, our distinguish

.'who seen his duty and done it,"
has acquired the letter writing
habit OF late, and is already in
diting epistles to some OF them
making inquiry as to whether
there is any legislation they would
like to have him introduce at the
present session OF the legislature.
One prominent Santa Fe engineer,
who is democrat, and could
probably have defeated Billy if he
had used his influence to that end,
IS not much in love with our repre-
sentative at the present time.
In fact we have heard him express
his indignation with that gentle
mans course IN voting for VOL
colt from the very first ballot, on
several occasions, in terms more
foTcible than elegant. He is very
much aggrieved. for he saws that
he had implicit confidence in
Billy's promise to him that he
would not vote for WoIcott under
any circumstances. He says that
henceforth he is from Missouri
with all candidates for Office, and
don't think he will need Billy's
services in the way OF Introducing
Legislation in the interest of rail-
road men. They never speak as
they pass by-that is the engineer

day closing ordin ance will be sus-
tanned by the courts. The ordi-
nance was passed for the purpose
OF reaching the drug stores. some
members of the city council aP-
parently entertain ing the suspicion
that pills and Paregotic were not
the only articles of merchandise
dispensed from those dispensaries
on the Sabbath day. In order to
reach the dug stores it was neces-
sary to pass an ordinance closing
all places of business. Mayor
Sabin, who has looked up the law
in the case, is very confident that
the ordinance as it is. closing all
business houses, will be sustained
by the highest court in the state,

A fond husband and his charm
ing wife were vending their way
homeward up Colorado avenue
one day this week, propelling n
baby carriage before them, which
contained their frst-born. He
was a bouncing youngster, with
big blue eyes and yellow hair,
and the parents were exceedingly
proud OF him. Everybody they
met, however. friend and foe alike,
looked at the youngster, and then
smiled and smiled and smiled.
The charming wife was rather
sensitive, and failed to under
stand why the ynungsser should
excite the risibilities Of everyone
they met. She requested her hus-
band to walk ahead for half 4
block and then walk back and
meet them to see il he could find
out what the matter was. As he
approached the baby carriage he
found 4 ready solution. Attached
to the front OF the horseless au-
tomobile was conspicuous sign
which read: "Our Own Make. "
The alfalfa editor OF the Man
zanola Sun is quite a traveller.
Sometimes he goes west into the
wilds OF Arizona and returns with
bills of sale and depositions citing
the fact that our Otero county
senator is bona fide resident OF
that wild and woody section, and
at other times he goes down into
the efete east in search OF new
experiences and new sensations.
The last time he went east he
bumped into something which he
thought would prove an excellent
advertising scheme if introduced
in Manzanola. A prominent man
was sick unto death and hourly
bulletins were posted in front OF
the leading newspaper Office rela-
tive to his condition, pulse, tenn
perature. etc. signed by the at
tending physician. Jack resolved
to Introduce the custom in Man
zAnola as soon as he returned
home. He inveigheled a local
physician into the scheme, and
both agreed to spring it at the FIRST
opportunity, as it would be good
advertisement both for the news
paper and the pill dispenser
Finally Deacon Jones, good old
soul. known by everybody, became
seriously i'll. The time had ar
rived. The doctor telephoned his
bulletins from the bedside of the
deacon and they were promptly
placed on bulletin board in
front Of the Sun Office. The
morning bulletins read rs follows:

AN APACHE RUsE.
None of the soldiers claimed to have
hit an Apache. although we kept up a
steady enough firing, and it is highly prob
able that none were wounded, as they
kept in perpetual motion, shooting hither
and thitber almost rs fast as lightning
flashes. Presently the foremost of them
over the brow of the hill. while we were
still far from the top. 1t was evidently
useless for men accustomed as we were
and shod in heavy boots to attempt to
catch up with men endowed with the
swiftness of mountain goats: furthermore,

it is foolish; we had better turn back and
look out for our horses" This most sen.
sible advice was needed and the descent
began.
We soon found that if we had persisted
in our pursuit 10 minutes longer the com.
mand would have returned to camp on
foot, perhaps deploring the death of one
or more of its comrades. We had not quite
reached the bottom of the hill when we
saw commotion among the horses, and

The sixth day of our scout was Just
dawning when the party, turning the ex-
IRENE end of rocky ridge, suddenly came
within sight of a squaw filling water
jar at a spring about 200 yards within the
mouth of the canyon hidden by said ridge.
This woman had evidently neglected her
duty as sentinel or lookout, without which
no Apache camp was ever left. Perhaps,
also our men had not been seen, on ac-

debouched directly upon the level place
where the horses stood. This accelerated
our descent greatly, and we arrived Just
in time to prevent with n good volley the
! stampede of the herd. The Apaches, who
had disappeared over the brow of the hill,
had rapidly descended on the other side.
and. turning to the left had entered from
behind the canyon at whose mouth the
horses stood. Fortunately Serg't Jones
had placed himself upon an elevated SPOT
| near by, saw the Indians coming, and i'm
mediately guessed their intention. He also
perceived that we had turned and were de-
scending towards him; still, he fired, rath-
er to accelerate our steps than with any
hope of hitting any Apaches. He never
lost his presence Of mind for a moment.
but shouted to his men: flake a good
grip Of the reins. men, and hold on for
dear life: I'll stand them off; our men are
coming: stand FAST" We arrived upon the
spot in double-quick after we were ont
of the rocks, and the Apaches, seeing the
use!essness of their attempt at stamped
ing. retired.
