That Line.

Bernalillo county's districts
schools are steadily advancing, a fact
which is shown very clearly in the
in the improvements now being made
In almost every district. The people

as rapidly as possible, they are being
accom- odated. There is much more
interest in the schools of the terri

since.
School improvements.
In district No. 1, San Jose, an elec-
ton is to be held on July 25th when
the people will vote on PROPOSE
ton to issue $500 bonds for a new
school. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the bonds will be voted as
practically every one in the district
favors the new school.
In the Plaza Martinez, north of the
city, new school building is under
construction, while improvements
have been made in the buildings In
almost every district.
Another sign of the advancement
is the increased salaries being al

SO 2 deck
Pennington, N. NJ, July 12.-The
community is very much excited ov-
er a report current here that Fred
+. Hyde, Jr., has been either mur-
dured or lost Hyde invested over
100000 in this country a few years
ago. In January of this year he was
reported TO nave left Pueblo Bonita,
where he has been running an In
dian trading store for several years
and 1t was reported that he had
gone east, but 1t now transpires that
he has not turned up in the east
nor has it been discovered that he
took the train anywhere.
He was an eccentric man, and al
though recognized millionaire spent
most of his time among the Navajos
1t is reported here that some of the
Navajos claim he was murdered and
that some Indians know where he is
buried.
Officers are working on the case
but as Pueblo Bonita is sixty miles
from the railroad out in the desert
there are many stories told of the
peculiar dealing of the Hyde explor-
ing expedition, which a few years
ago did a tremendous business in
Navajo blankets and Indian curios
here from 1901 to 1903.
The missing Hyde was at the head
of this enterprise and a great many
thousand dollars was lost. Fred f.
Hyde, Jr., the missing man, and Bah
bitt Hyde, of New York City, are the
heirs of the great Babbitt estate thai
was built up out of the soap manu-
featuring business.
