He Paid Another Big Fine This Morn

Another Charge.

paid $110 to the Minnesota game and

paid in $257 and may have to pay
more. Game Warden Fullerton claims
Wolfe has been coming over into Min

More Quakes.

Santa Fe, N. M, July 19.-Two more
earthquake shocks occurred at Socor-
ro The shocks We're felt distinctly
as far south as El Paso, Texas where,
yesterday a street car was thrown
from the track by a shock. Refugees
from Socorro and other towns in the
Rio Grande valley are daily coming to
Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
All night long one tremor after an
other passed over the lower Rio
Grande valley, keeping the people at
the highest tension. But few have
slept in houses for the past three
nights. Observers reported thin spir-
ais of smoke in the lava fields in the
direction of Alamo Gordo, probably
from hot springs or other volcanic
manifestations. A drenching rain
passed over the valley during the
night, adding to the discomfort of
campers.
