80, and the time between now and
then will be taken up in perfecting
the action and Suggesting of the
play. The place in which it is to be
put on will be announced later.
This play is being put on for the
benefit and largely by the members
of the local lodge of the knights of
Pythias, but this should not confuse
the public into believing it is not
play of general interest. the story of
Damon and Pythias is founded on
facts in history. This play is written
in blank verse and is declared to be
almost equal to some of Shakespeares
productions. AT least, it can be said
to be a piece of beautiful sentiment
couched in beautiful rhetoric and told
in an interesting manner. The cos
tunes of this production will be the
most gorgeous ever seen on a Roswell
stage. Most of them have been secur-
ed from a distance and all are of
the very best. 1t will be Roswell peo-
pie, almost exclusively, in the cast
and this will add local interest 1t
will be an event every person of
Roswell should see. 1t will be one of
the best local talent shows of the
year.

YOUNG LADIES RESCUED
FROM STORMS RIGORS

Misses Lydia Johnson, Virginia

and several days during and follow
ing the blizzard at the sheep camp
of Will and Lycurgus Johnson, sew
eral miles out from the station. The
the sheep camp for a weeks outing,
but were not prepared for blizzard.
They accordingly made plans to
come nome as soon as possible. After
reaching the section house at Elkins
they missed the first train through
and secured passage on the second
by mere chance, and through the mis-
fortune of another, as it happened.
The day the storm came up one of
the Johnsons' Mexican herders was
known to be out with big bunch OF
sheep. A searching party went after
either man or sheep. The next day
another party, composed of the two
Johnsons and Harry Thorne. went af-
ter him, but they did not find him un-
til he had been out So hours in the
worst weather New Mexico has expe-
rienced in years. He was almost life
less and his feet were frozen. He had
stuck to his sheep, however, and this
was the means by which he was
found. The sheepmen brought the
Mexican to the section house and
telegraphed to Amarillo to have the
first train stop. 1t was on this train
that the herder and the Roswell Ia
dies were brought to town in a box
car. 1t was an exciting adventure for
the young ladies.
The Mexican herder has been TAX
en- to st. Mary's hospital, and it is
thought he will recover.

would happen, but she crashed into
the starboard bow of the Wilhelm
