comes up from camp, stated to a re-
porter this morning that she wished
to express her appreciation OF the
kind treatement and fair manner
which the newspapers had accorded
her husband in his recent unfortunate
experience. IL was extremely crafty
ing to her and she wished the papers
to know that their fairness and kind
ness were appreciated. She said her
husband was always kind and for
bearing man and would never have
committed the deed had he not been
driven to IT. She has come to spend
the winter with him and will go down
as soon as he comes after her. She
says under the circumstances she

ent trouble he needs her help and
consolation.
A man by the name of Wakefield
residing at or near Aztec. has been
engaged In writing derogatory letters
regarding Durango. He wrote Albu-
auarque parties. planning to come. to
Durango to invest, that Durango was
dead, not a new house having been
erected the past five or six years.
Men of this character are a fine card
for any section-nit. The Herald does
not want any one to overdo the boost
ing OF any place. facts being good
enough for ns. Suppose the Durango
newspapers would follow the policy
OF the above mentioned party, they
would be candidates for orders to
leave the country. This entire SOUTH
west section should pull together and
The Herald never loses an opportuni-
~ to advocate the interests of Aztec
and all other southwest towns and
farming and mining sections.

was received from Ed. Pennington,

CLEANED from The Herald, stating that
from general information 1t seems a
sure go for a southern outlet and that
some railroad contractors in that vi
cinity want to get In on the construc-
tion work. Mr. Pennington also. refers
to visit from Dan Dana who will
be remembered by some Duraagoites,
but more especially by all old San
Juan county people, Mr. Dana
