offices of trustee ]. w. Lankford, N.
j. Fritz, and M c. Moore were elected
and A R. Teeple. o. R. Tanner and
Ed Miller each received 81 votes for
the other two places. This tie would
have necessitated another election
had not Mr. Teeple withdrawn, thus
making the election of Messrs. Tan

tees the Messrs. Lankfordd. Fritz.
Moore. Tanner and Miller. They will
chose the mayor. A. w. Long was

captured is worthy of mention. The
forgery was discovered when R. NJ.
Parsons, of the First National Bank,
asked NJ. L. Pierce if he endorsed his
pension check. Mr.. Pierce said he
had not, and an investigation devel-
oped the fact that the check had been
cashed at the Citizens National. Mr..
Pierce does all his business at the
First National and they knew his sig
nature. When the boy went to the
Citizens National they did not know
Mr.. Pierce's signature, but as they
do business for the Nokes boys rela-
tives. supposed he was there on an
errand for the relatives.
1t was Duke Carmack, the Western
Union telegraph messenger, who
brought about the capture He trailed
the boys and located them west Of
town. He caught up with them, gained
their confidence and had them wait
for him to come to town to leave his
telegram book, as he told them, be-
fore all would go in swimming When
he came to town he informed the
officers and they went after the cul-
prits. In consideration of Dukes valu-
able detective work. Oliver Smith, of
the Citizens National, and Mr.. Pierce
gave him nice present.
When the officers found the boys
they had a livery horse and buggy
and about three days rations and
were started for the mountains.
1t is a pitiful case-one where it
seems cruel to carry out the laws
mandates, but one in which the Off.
GERS feel that they must do their du-
ty. for a lesson to others, if nothing
else. The relatives certainly have the
sympathy of all.

Oln Nokes a boy Of fourteen did a
deed yesterday that was SO bold end
nervy it showed the lack Of judgment
of a person of immature years He
opened a lock box at the post office
that he either found unlocked or TN
locked himself and took therefrom let
ters addressed to M. l.. Pierce. One
government and contained a pension
check for $24.0O. This check proved
the undoing of the Nokes boy. He
forged Mr. Pierce's name as an en-
dorsement and proceeded to have ii
cashed. He went first to the First
National Bank, but there he was re-
quired to get Mr.. Pierce to acknowl-
edge the signature The boy went af-
ter Mr. Pierce but did not return. In,
stead, he went to the Citizens Ma
tional Bank. and there got the check
cashed
Young Nokes had taken into his
confidence Earnest New and Ray Mil
Ter, two other lads, one fourteen aid
the other twelve years old. They di-
vided the money, secured a buggy,
bought some watermelons and went
out in the country for a drive, finally
landing at the fair grounds. Later
during the day when the forgery was
On the trail of the boys and they were
found in swimming in North Sppring
river west of town. He placed young
Nokes under arrest on the charge of
forgery and he was held until Thurs
day morning for a preliminary hear
ing
This morning the little Nokes boy
was too sick to appear in court, and
his case was postponed. He is in Jail
and is suffering from over-eating wa
termelon.
City Marshal Rascoe had a long
talk with the New boy this morning
and from him he learned that the
postof1ice box rifling has been going
on for some time The boy told the
efficer that the officer that the Nokes
boy had opened about twenty letters
that he had found in boxes at the
post Office, and in these he had found
check for $40 payable to Reed &
Wilson, and cashed at the Jaffa-Pra-
ger Co. store; a check for 81 which
he had cashed when he bought wa
ter melons from a man named Dale,
and ten dollar bill. The ten dollar
Reed & Wilson check was traced
down and found About twenty let
tiers were found where the boy said
they had been rifled. The New boy
said that young Nokes had stolen
erty from the Jaffa-Prager and Joyce
Pruit stores, and had buried the
goods in various places. The officers
are still working on the case, and it
looks like a bad one.

best city schools in the United States
and that what is still better, she had
had four years previous experience
in ungraded school work, the best ex-
perience of all for an all round sue
cessful teacher. He said that she is
plain, practical, level-headed young
woman, without any frills or furbe-
lows, just such a teacher as common
sense, level-headed people want as in
structors for children.
Judge Gatewood further remarked
that we now have a full faculty of
teachers. and, as he expressed it,
lone of the mostefficient in the South
west" He spoke enthusiastically of
the future of the Roswell public
schools.
The schools will open for the ses-
sion of 19O5-O6, on Tuesday. Sept 5,
proximo.
The board deferred the matter of
deciding on the opening of colored
school in Roswell until such time as
when the amount due the colored pop
ulation is determined. This will be
determined by apportioning the
school money according to the numb
er of colored children there are in
town AS much will be apportioned
ta. At that time the coIored popula-
ton will be asked to petition the
board as to the time of opening a
school and the length of the term.

The Records local reporter called
at the office of Judge Gatewood, the
vice-president of the city board of cd
ucation, to learn what the board did
at its meeting yesterday evening.
The local is always received courte
ously at the office of Judge Gatewood,
and this time with no less urbanity
than usual The Judge stated that
two vacancies in the teaching faculty
had been made by the resignation of
the high school, and by a leave Of alb
sence for one year granted Miss Deck
er, teacher in Spanish.
He expressed much regret that Miss
Spencer had found it necessary. in Or
der to be with relatives on the Paci
fc coast, to sever her previously pleas
ant, and to the community advantag-
eous relations with the Roswell pub
lie schools.
He also spoke very highly OF Miss
Decker and her work. Asked if he
thought Miss Decker woul1 return,
said he had no doubt of it, because
the board greatly appreciated her
work, and by special resolution had
directed the secretary to express in
her leave of absence special commen-
dation of her efficiency and zeal in the
work she had done in our schools, and
that she had assured the board that
nothing could give her greater pleas
ure than to resume her position as in
structor in Spanish at Roswell a year
hence.
To f1l Miss Spencer's position,
Miss Edith Rodkey was elected at the
yesterday evening meeting of the
board. Judge Gatewood said that the
board considered itself fortunate in
the extreme in having secured the
services of Miss Rodkey. She is not
only a fitted instructor in Latin, but
an experienced and accomplished dir
ector in music, a long-felt want at the
high school, The Judge stated that
his visits at the schools for the last
two years had impressed him with the
importance, not to say necessity, of
the boards doing something at once
to grade up the work in music in the
public schools, and not what the op-
portunity to do so at no extra cost,
had presented itself, he was gratified
to know that the board with one
voice had risen to the occasion and
secured the services of Miss Rodkey.
He also stated that she is an all round
educator of exceptional ability and
approved success inhigh school work.
She will add much, he stated, to the
social and musical life of Roswell.
OF Miss Mussenden, the grade teach
er elected at the last meeting. the
judge spoke in the highest terms. He
said she had taught successfully for
fve years as grade teacher in the city
schools OF Springfield, ILL.,, almost un-

Dear Sir
Il regret to say, that we have no

you sent us with the daily edition
and although we printed extra week
lies, the demand was SO great that
could only send fifteen copies. lfnd
now that we should have published
at least 1000 extra copies, but it is
too late. The weekly New Mexican
Review goes to every post-office in
New Mexico and Arizona, and this

it. Next year, Providence willing, we
must print many more copies to do
the good we ought to. The Institute
is standing very well and a number
of Santa Fe people purchased extra
copies to send their friends This
demand was so great and so unexpect
