The Commercial Club of TuCumcari has
started the ball rolling in the matter of
correctly advertising the resources of Quay
County, and the results are already plainly
visible, as communications are coming in
from ,all sections of the country asking
about the resources of this locality. Col
Hemen, the secretary, has answered dozens
of letters this month which have gone to
many different states, telling the inquirers
about the possibilities here in farming
and stock, horticulture a n d CT e.
mate. John Sebastian. the general pas
senger agent of the Rock Island, is lending
us a friendly hand, and many of the letters
the club has received are through refer
ences from him. Let the good work go on,
we need immigration, and there is over a
million acres of the public domain yet open
to homestead entry here waiting for the
settler. 1t is going in a hurry, too, as
thirty and over entries have been made
around Tucumcari the past two weeks.

Negroes with Irish Names.

A rather curious explanation of the
Irish names among the negroes OF
the West Indies does exist. Some
years ago a vessel with Irish sailor"
on board put into a West Indian port
anil a boatload of negroes came out
to meet it. The sailors were amazed
to hear the negroes talking to each
other in the ancient Gaelic tongue.
Where did they acquire the language?
The natural conjecture, of course, was
that the Irish language was taken to
the West Indies by the thousands of
irish men and Irish women who were
bapished to the West Indies by Crom-
well and sold as slaves to the plant
ers there. These were sent chiefly
from Connaught, where Irish was the
language of the people at the time
That the exiles left their names ano
language in the West India islands il
which they were settled is a probabl
theory enough.

He walked behind the chair and,
leaning on it, looked down smilingly
upon the brown head that rose and fell
with each sob.
Il knew there was some kind Of joke

joke about the fact that a girl your

Of her hair that shone red brown on

Wien you could possibly mean it, won't

The figure was as still as the chair

turned off.
'Never mind. OF course you could
not. I'll say goodby now and catch the
8 o'clock train for town. Won't you
shake hands to show we understand

Melissa blindly held out wavering
hand that he grasped in his big one.
His expression changed with light

pressed into his palm the note that had
been concealed in her hand.

ly, seating himself upon the arm of the

THINKS WEBER WAS MURDERED
Coroner Believes Wealthy Brewers
Body Was Placed on Railroad Tr,cks

New York, Nov. 16-That Constan-
tine Weber, "A wealthy BROOKLYN brew
er, who was run over by a Long Is
land Railroad engine in Glendale T.
the evening of Sept. 25, was murdered
is the belief of Coroner Leonard Ruoff
Jr, of Jamaica. Coroner Ruoff after
nearing testimony, Wednesday. ad-
journed the inquest until Dec. :. to
allow the police and the district at
torney to make further investigation.
The engine which ran over Weber
was in charge of Van Ravlis of 81
Jackson avenue, Long Island City. AT
the inquest, yesterday, Baylis said that
when he saw the man on the tracks if
was impossible to avoid running over
him. The mans neck. he said was on
one of the rails and the wheels of the
locomotive severed the head from the
body. Baylis stopped his train as soon
as possible and ran back. He was
surprised, he testified, to find that the
body was cold and that there was no
blood.
A rigid examination will be made
by District Attorney George A. Gregg
and by the police. The latter are in
clined to scout the theory of murder,
but they do not explain why the brew
ei' of reputed wealth should have been
found with nothing in his pockets save
a handkerchief, a little pocket knife. a
wooden snuff box and a cigar ticket.
