the News that he was closing down the
public well for the reason that he had fail
ed TO get enough money out OF the sub
scribers who had agreed to pay so much
a month that a public watering trough
might be maintained there for the general
public. 1t looks bad to have people COM

horses: it may injure their business. This,
with the already well advertised fact that
the roads for IS miles south of Tucumcari
are almost impossible, is going to take
some of the splendid trade we have had
for the past year away unless relief is of

pie know better than that; they will simply
reply that something has got to be done.

is going to get a black eye from people who
