company, and was purchased, togeth-
or with nine carloads of cattle. by
Henry Miller, the cattle buyer.

ASKED FOR MORE TIME.
To Consider Advisability Of Estab-,
lisning Stock Exchange.

The question of stock exchange
for Lovelock was quite thoroughly
discussed at the meeting of the Com
mercial Club Monday night. though
no definite decision was reached.
In making their report the Com
mittee stated that some of their
number had been out of town, so
they could not do justice to the mat
ter. They had met both encourag-
ment and discouragment of the prop
osition in talking with business men.
At the meeting the number in fav-
or of and against the proposition
seemed to be about equally divided.
We cannot say that any were against
the proposition, but some questioned
the advisability of starting at this
time.
The committee was continued and
further time given in which TO con-
suit with mine holders and others
that might be interested. This ques-
tion will be thoroughly studied be-
fore a definite conclusion is reached
and we believe that conclusion will
be for the best good Of the town.

he was about town, trying to secure
small amounts to start in a game and
try to retrieve his lost fortune or to
secure drink to drown his troubles.
Saturday night, however, he return
ell to his family at the Overland Ho-
tel and went to bed. At about 3 o.
clock Sunday morning he arose, par
TALLY dressed and told his wife he
was going to the toilet. That was
the last seen of him alive. The next
was the finding of the lifeless body
hanging from the tree.
In the shadows of the dawn of
new day the man. desperate from the
losses of gambling and from the ef-
fects of drink and not having the
moral force to face the responsible
tiles of caring and providing for the
wife and children, had chosen to end
it all. As he wandered down the
lane west of town the outstretched
branch had suggested the place and
the derrick rope, from which a piece
had been cut, the means where he
might END it ALL" Sad! Sad! the
bitter End. But is it not the logical
outcome of the policy of open gambl-
ing now permitted in this State as in
no other State of this Nation? How

turn of the hu band, Mrs. Pauls n

finding him about the hotel she hac
informed the Constable of his dis ,p-
pearance and told him of her fears
of self-destruction. When the body
was taken down from the tree it was
still warm little more than two
hours had elapsed between his leav-
ing the hotel and the finding of the
body by Mr.. Pitt, the desperate man
must have gone directlv from the
hotel to the place of self destruction
and deliberately yet without hesiten-
cy executed himself. The body was
brought tn the Morgan Undertaking
parlors by the officers. DR.. SEQ
was called from his office next door,
hut found life extinct and all eff ,rts
to revive failed. The mark of the
rope about the neck was plainly Wis.
lille and death had evidently been
from strangnlation. Sunday fore
noon an inquest was held. the jury
bringing in a verdict that death had
come in the manner as indicated in
the above facts.
The duty of informing the wife of
the sad discovery fell upon DR.. Scott.
During the forenoon the Doctor had

aife. During the call she told of
Ner troubles and hat she did not
know where her husband was. So
Or. Scott gently as possible broke
the sad news to her. After the first

facts and has bravely borne up dur

A NEW MEXICO LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The Occidental Life Insurance Co.,
with headquarters at Albuquerque, is
a home institution, and for many reas-
ons should be given the preference
over all other companies by New Mex
leo people. In fact, it is already writ
ing more life insurance for the people
of this territory thar any other com
PAM The officers and directors are
all residents and leading business
men OF New Mexico, among others
on the list appearing Captain John
w. Poe and E. A. Cahoon, of Roswell.
The theory of Investment pursued
by this company is one that keeps the
money at home. 1t makes farm loans
in New Mexico I'M Arizona, bringing
down interest rates and keeping the
money in circulation among the PEG
pie who pay their insurance to the
home company. Heretofore there has
been over two million dollars a year
going out of the Territory to pay pre-
miums to Eastern life insurance com
panies, and it never comes back ex-
cept as some of the policy-holders
die.
1t always pays to ~patronize home
Institutions, and keep the money at
home.

MENDELSSOHN TRIO PLAYS
ROSWELL AUDIENCE

After touring the towns of the Pc

among strangers, the Mendelssonn
Trio, composed of Mrs. Edward Ellis,
soprano, Mrs. Robert S. Cook, violin.
and Miss Adelia l.. Morgan, piano,
gave a eoncert before home people
last night and proved that their sue
cess away from home was not attain
ed without a full degree of merit. The
Trio was assisted by Mrs. J. w. Tho
mas, organ; Miss Baker, contralto,
and Mr.. Robert S. Cook, French horn.
The affair was given in the Presbyte-
rian church and the attendance was
fair.
The Trio, assisted by Mr.. Cook, OPP
eaed the concert with Spring Song"
which was beautifully rendered. Mrs.
Cook then gave two solos on her vic
lin, the first an intricate composition,
"Chanson Polonaise," and the second
brakes fantastic Polish Dance" the
latter being so well received an en-
core was demanded.
Mrs. Ellis sang, Just a Wearyin'

better in Roswell. She gave a pref

grand in it's tones and harmonies
and was the heaviest production of
the evening. The audience showed
appreciation, but the company was
not prepared to respond.
Mrs. Cook favored the audience
with two more selections on ner vio-
lin and no one ever pleases more
than does Mrs. Cook. When the aud
fence ceased applauding she respond
ed with "Auld Lang Syne," and the
climax of harmony was reached.
Mrs. Ellis and her sister, Miss Ba-
ker, daughter of Col. Baker, ave a
vocal duet that was especially well
received. 1t was Miss Bakers first
appearance before a Roswell audi
ence, and the impression she left
was entirely to her credit. She mas a
wonderful contralto voice that shows
the effect of culture under a master.
Mr.. Cook gave a solo on the French
horn and received one of the hearth
est encores of the evening. He fol
lowed with a selection familiar and
pleasing to all.
The concluding number, "Sing Ne
to Sleep" was given by the Mendel-
ssohn Trio, and was one of the most
beautiful of an evening of splendid
music.
