of such action on Pcldcr's part is Il

carried on by the rats at his chicken

Autos have been named "red dew
ils'' and they we'll deserve their
cognomen. Lives are lost on the
great racing machines every day.
And besides these who are not rae
ing the machine, are IN constant dan
ger from the terrific manner in which
they are driven. Owners seem to
think that citizens who do not own
automobiles. have no rights that they
are bound to respect. 1t is time to
call such down with thud. All
good men are anxious that others

manner. but they must be made to
respect the rights of pedestrians.

these two women is that they fought

Phipps. 1t is not to the credit of

there few days ago when au employe
of the office who knows about as much

to restrain an old time and respected

tering because his parents were born

standing that the gentleman was born
in the state of New York and has been
worthy citizen of this country all

If there is any place In the United

with greater celeritv than in Denver,
we have not heard of it. Each sue
ceeding day the courts grind out di-
vorces in numbers. A record of the
divorces granted in the city of Denver
in single year would run into the
hundreds. The marriage tie is not
held sacred in that city evidently.
A refusal to grant some of the appli-
cations. not all. because we believe
there are times when such decree
is better every way, would tend to
discourage many who now marry
with the idea that they can free them

The New. Ferguson Well.

j. H. Fox brought in another of
the finest artesian wells ever drilled
in the Orchard Park neighborhood
on the 10th inst. The well is owned
by VIM. NJ. Ferguson, and is situat.
ed on his 800 acres on section Is,
township IL. r. rs F.. 9h miles
down the Pecos Valley railroad. The
well is 12O feet from the railroad
track on the east side and is SS2 feet
deep. Engineer Wilson of Roswell
estimated the flow to be 720 gallons
per minute. The water is strongly
impregnated with sulphur and other
minerals. Mr.. Ferguson will have the
water analysed. and if it proves valu-
able he will make an effort to put
up a suitable sanitarium. He also in
tends to plant at least 100 acres of
the 1911 he owns on the east side of
the railroad in orchard.
