the lineal descendant Of Mahomet, is also heredi

terers. Situated the great caravan routes from
Algeria, Tripoi and the eastern soudan, it is

TERRITORIAL NEWSPAPERS
Great Development in Newspapers
of Territories, Says FL Paso
Herald

The FL paso Herald will lose
no friends in New Mexico and
Arizona Tor the following exceed
ingly apt editorial;
Arizona and New Mexico
newspapers are devoting more
and more of their space to news
of industrial progress and public
betterment, and less and less to
squabbles.
There has been tremendous
development in the newspaper
press of the territories in the
past two years. The number of
papers has greatly increased,
and the quality has improved
threefold. What most impresses
the casual reader OF these papers
is the intense loyalty Of each TO
its home community, coupled
with breadth of view that
would make sensitive eastern
metropolitan editor ashamed of
his provincial ignorance.
Another striking characteris-
tic of the territorial press is the
way they use the force of exam
pie in their progressive work,
They are continually watching
what other places are doing, and
how other places do it, and they
fire the facts and the arguments
at the home people in telling
fashion.
Still another characteristic is
the absence of whine. There is
more optimism and less indigeS-
ton in the territorial newspapers
than you can find in like num-
ber of newspapers in any other
commonwealth in the Union"

THE ROYAL MALE QUARTETTE
will Give an Entertainment at the
Opera House Next Friday
Evening

The third of the series OF en-
tertainments to be given in So
corro this season for the found
ing of "A public school library will
be offered at the opera house
next Friday evening. The Royal
Male Quartette, reported to be
one of the very best of its kind
in the country, will appear before
a Socorro audience and, needless
to say, will delight everybody
who attends. Here are few of
the good things that are said of
this quartette where they have
given their entertainments:
In the Royal Male Quartette,
as had been expected, our people
enjoyed one OF the best, il not
the very best, evening entertain
ment ever given in CaStlewood.

II. The quartette are all possess
surS of trained voices musically
and they have all had experience
in concert and glee club work.
The four voices are noted for
their blending quality, and the
program rendered was a bright,
spicy. happily arranged one that
was highly satisfactory to all
who attended" ~ Republican.
Castlewood. South Dakota.
The concert given at the
opera house last Thursday eve
ming by the Royal Male Quar-
tette was one of the best enter
tainments of its kind ever given
in that hall. Nearly every seat
was occupied and every number
on the program was heartily APP
plauded. The members Of the
quartette are finished singers,
and they were not the least bit
''pinchy" about responding to en-
cores. The readings by Mr..
Boyd were fascinating. Not oaly
was the audience highly pleased
with the entertainment, but the
lecture association feel highly
gratifed. " Herald, Anthon, Iowa.

BOTH LEGS AMPUTATED
Jesus Gomez Of Chihuahua, Mex
leo, the Victim Of q Terri
BILE Accident
MANGLED BY THE CAR WHEELS
While Stealing a Ride on the South
Bound Freight from
Socorro

Jesus Gumez of Chihuahua,
Mexico, is the latest victim Of
car wheels in the vicinity of
Socorro. Tuesday evening at
$50 o'clock he boarded south
bound freight train at the
Santa Fee station. The train
had hardly left the yards when,
in climbing to the top of a
freight car, Gomez slipped and
fell to the track in such a posi-
tion that the wheels of the train
passed over both his legs below
the knees. He lay beside the
track until the next morning,
when the section boss found him
in pool of blood. The sufferer
was taken to the Park House and
given careful attendance.
Wednesday afternoon Doctor
Duncan, who had been called to
take charge OF the case, found
1t necessary to amputate both
the patients legs. Late that
evening the doctor reported that.
owing to exposure and the loss
OF blood, 1t was doubtful
whether the patient would live
until morning But little is
known of Gomez here beyond
the fact that he worked in the
mines of the Kelly camp last
summer.

says of the recent visit of the

team in Socorro:
The young men and Young
women of Socorro won the hearts
of the College boys by their
royal treatment of the team
while there A stag party was
given on the night Of the 10th

swell until the trouble became
alarming. Colonel Frost then
consulted DIR. Knapp, who made
an examination, discovering that
a compound fracture of the jaw
existed. 1t is not known how
the fracture occurred and it was
not considered serious until We'd
