Judge f. V. Long, a prominent
attorney of Las Vegas, was an APP
preciated visitor here last week.
He,was enroute to Santa Rosa to

Speaking of his trip over, he said:

homestead houses, most of the
tracts of land well fenced and hav-
ing barns and wind mills at many
places. Over 5000 acres are
fenced and settled upon near the
line of the railroad within six
miles of Tucumcari. Near this
county seat, the improvements,
houses, wind mills, barns, out
houses, fences and cultivation in
dictate thrift and prosperity.

During the past year Tucumcari
has greatly improved. New resi-
dences are springing up lin every
direction and several credltable
business houses have been erected
and finished, while others are
building. Onward, upward, pro.
gression seems the condition in

congress giving it's sanction to the pro-

Admiral Evans Is going 10 sail in COM
mand OF the most powerful fleet that
ever gathered under the American
flag. Not only that, he commands
more battleships of modern type than
any other naval officer in the world,
and the only officer whose blue PEN

fleet of all kinds of warships is Lord
Charles Beresford, and he is of great
er rank than a vice admiral, being an
admiral like Dewey.
On this cruise the American feet Is

to exchange courtesies with foreign
fleets In several places. The navies of
all these countries contain officers of
the grade Of vice admiral which would

in Admiral Evans case that not only

congress would be overcome by point
ing to the fact that as Admiral Evans

SPY IN FRENCH NAVY.

The arrest of Ensign Charles B. Ull-

and who later confessed to having abb
stracted a secret naval signal book
and the naval cipher code, was follow
ed by the arrest at Vendome OF an
officer Of the name of Berton, who is
charged with negotiations with an
agent of foreign power for the sale
of military secrets The arrests are
creating great stir, and as Ullmo Is
Hebrew the papers term this case
a second Dreyfus affair.
1t appears that Ullmo offered GER
tain documents to the minister of ma
rine for $4,000, saying that unless
his offer was accepted he would sell
them to foreign power. A dummy
correspondence, was begun, ending
with ILLINOIS capture. A search of his
lodgings revealed that he not only
possessed the secret code signals, but
was in possession of complete plans
for the mobilization of the French
navy, the location of harbor mines in
the event of war, photographs of the
mechanism of Frances famous rs.

INSURANCE MONEY EGEMpT.
Farmer Wins Case Against Nfinnehaha
County Sheriff.


Judge Jones Of the state circuit
court in Sioux Falls recently decided
a case of some importance bearing on
the exemption of insurance money re-
ceived for the destruction of property
situated on a homestead from seizure
70 satisfy an execution.
Some time ago VIM. Wilka, who re-
sides in the extreme northern part of
Minnehaha county, suffered loss Of
considerable property by fire. The
property was insured in mutual
company which the farmers of Moody
county organized. The company re-
fused to pay Wiika's loss and he then
instituted an action in the state cir
cult court for the recovery of the sum
claimed to be due. Before the case
came to trial the matter was compro-
missed, the company agreeing to pay
Mr.. Wilka the sum of 1923.
However, before the money was
paid over to Wilka the sheriff Of
Moody county levied upon a portion
of the insurance money to satisfy an
execution. The amount so levied upon
was paid over to the sheriff by the in
surance company. Wilka then insti-
tuted an action against the sheriff for
the recovery of the money, basing his
suit upon the ground that the money
was exempt from levy because it was
the avails OF an insurance policy on a
homestead
Judge Jones, in his decision, sus-
tains this contention, holding the
money due the plaintiff from the in
surance policy on his homestead ex-
empt from lew

LET OFF WITH SMALL FINE.
Federal Judge Garland Assesses Err
ring Postmaster S25

John l.. Morrow, former postmaster
at Rudolph, Brown county, appeared
before Judge Garland, of the United
States court, and entered a plea of
guilty to an information charging him
with Irregularities in his accounts
with the government.
The precise charge against Morrow
was that he made false return on
the amount Of postage stamps, stamp
ed envelopes, postal cards and news
paper and periodical sales of his office,
in order to increase his compensation
as postmaster. Morrow gained very
little from his scheme to have his sal
airy increased, and as a result lost his
position and had serious charge
preferred against him by the govern
ment.

A BABY's RIGHT TO SUCK THUMB

Los Angeles Couple Could Not Agree
and Woman Seeks Divorce.
The bone Of contention between Mr..
and Mrs. Walter A. Mayr, OF Los An
geles, Cal, in a suit for divorce filed
by Mrs Mayr Is: Has baby right
to suck its thumb?" They could not
agree on the subject and the conten-
ton of Mrs. Mayr that babies ought
never to suck their thumbs. while Mr..
Mayr held that it was the natural right
of babies and was backed up by ply
sicians, whose advice he had sought on
the subject led to serious results.
Mrs. Mayr also had seen several
doctors and they all declared that
sucking the thumb spoils the shape of
the mouth and weakens the thumb.
From time to time the Mayrs quarrel
ed on the subject of thumb sucking by
the baby and when Mayr was absent
his wife put mittens on the infants
hands, but when Mayr returned he
made dive for the baby to take the
mlttens off, and in the ensuing strug-
gle Mayr, according to testimony.
showed his wife away and slapped her
face.

APOLOGY OR CoURTMARTIAL.
Row In the State Militia is Up to Capt.
Tarbell.


There seems to be blood ON the
moon within national guard circles in
South Dakota, so far as a few officers
are concerned.
Capt j. Wright Tarbell, assistant
adjutant general, is charged by Maj.
Boyd Wales of Howard, with using
language unbecoming an officer in
letter addressed by Capt Tarbell to
the major. No official action has yet
been taken beyond the fling of the
charges, and officers of the guard who
were in session in Watertown Satur-
day expressed the hope that the Diff
ference would be an cably adjusted
through an apology from the captain.
The latter, however, has not yet as
sented to this method of settling the
affair.
The trouble arose through report
which Maj. Wales made to the adju-
tant general. The major was in COM
mand of the section of the national
guard on duty during the state fair
week at Huron to maintain order. The
regiment band was also there under
contract with the fair association. The
band, it appears, did not consider it
self under military orders, although no
friction developed during the fair
week. But Maj. Wales, in his report
to the adjutant, criticised the band for
what ne considered the lack of mill
tary bearing and military neatness on
the part of some of its members. Por-
tions Of this report were made public
at Aberdeen before it was officially
perused by the adjutant. Some mem
bers Of the band took umbrage. Capt
Tarbell, as assistant manager of the
band. wrote a rather caustic letter to
Maj. Wales, criticising the majors re-
port and intimating bias on the ma
jor's part
Maj Wales, at a conference with
the adjutant general, expressed regret
that he had inadvertently permitted
his report to get into the hands Of
newspaper men before it reached the
adjutant's Office, but gave a satisfac-
tory excuse, which has been accepted
by the adjutant as an apology.
Now it's up to Capt. Tarbell to offer
an apology or suffer the consequences
Of a courtmartial, whatever the re-
suit of that may be.
