about $4,000 ard was fully covered

During the progress of the fire
Lincoln Whiteman rushed in and op-

He was pressed for time and failed
to open the money box. However, he
had the presence of mind to turn
the combination. and thus saved the
money in the safe. Lincoln White

on the store building. J. d. Whitten
was sleeping in the barber shop and
barely escaped with his life. Rex
KneeIand was sleeping in the vacant
room next to the barber shop, and

exist on any portion of the civilized
earth, and we seriously question the
claim of Mr.. Talmadge to own these
people. 1t has been the custom OF the
immigration agents to bring these
prospectors to Roswell and establish
as it were a guard line around them,
and thus prohibit the citizens from
showing them the courtesies we
would like to. The reason of all
this is obvious. Mr.. Talmadge has
the same land listed that the local
agents have and at the same prices,
but as a matter of fact he does not
sell at the same prices. He claims
to be at a big expense in bringing
the people here and cannot afford to
sell for 5 per cent commission. and
for that reason he raises the prices
in order TO be reimbursed for his
trouble Now, we hope the parties
in question will regard this as a gen.
tie hint. and be wise. as we all know
competition is the life of trade. We
are however glad to have Mr.. Tai
madge come TO the Valley and pleas
ed to have him use his influence in
bringing others. and we are willing
to make a Just division with him of
the profits of any land sold to those
whom he has influenced TO come here
but we do not approve of his plan
of criticism. and increase of prices
in land. The parties thus influenced
to buy will in all probability remain
here. and will sooner or later find
out that they have been unfairly
dealt with and the result will be
reflection on the real estate frater-
nifty of the city.

position to accept flattering offer to
become the head of the legal depart

one OF the best known lawyers in Wis

ship was formed, on account OF the
large business which the firm had at
West Superior, an Office was opened
in that city and Mr.. Luse removed his
family there about four years ago and
has siuce resided there. He Is reputed
to be lawyer OF marked ability, free
from prejudice, broad minded and lib

knowledge OF the art Of applying the
