Gal Ward Injured
bg Runaway Team.

Last evening as Cal Ward was un-
hitching his team he met with very
painful and serious accident. He start
ed to lead the team from the wagon,
thinking it was altogether loose, but
one tug was still hitched. The horse
began kicking, giving Ward a blow in
the side, and telling him to the ground.
The wheel of the wagon was then drawn
across his head in such a manner as to
cut an ugly cash about three inches
long, clear to the bone. The team was
stopped after little more skirmishing
around the neighborhood.
The injured man was removed to
Crawford's Hotel, and DR.. Mason sum-
moned who gave him all the relief pos
sible. He is reported as resting more
easily this morning. Mr.. Ward was
making arrangements to visit his old
home at Newkirk, Oklahoma during
the holidays, intending leaving next
week

Fight FOR STATEHOOD
BEGINS IN EHRNEST
Enthusiastic Meeting of Representatives Of all Parts of 6 T6TTt0
held at Santa f6 last SATURDAY.

The convention was called to order
in the hall Of the house of represents
tives at 2:30 O'Clock by Governor Curry,
ndevery seat in the chamber was filled
The gallery was crowded and a consid.
cradle number of ladies were present
who took an evident interest in the
proceedings. Governor Curry after
opening the convention, introduced
Hon. T. B. Catron, of Santa Fe, who
welcomed the delegates to Santa Fe
and made rousing statehood speech.
Governor Curry then briefly outlined
the purpose Of hemeeting and in doing
so said that he believed more than ever
in our prospects for immediate admis-
sion. At no time, he said, in the last
twenty years have the chances been
so good as now. During his three
weeks stay in Washington, he said
that he had met many prominent men
who are members of congress; that
our friends in the past are still our
friends; and that we are making many
new friends. Itwas only necessary he
said, for the people of New Mexico to
stand together, regardless of politics,
to secure statehood during the present
session of congress. President Roose-
welt, he said, stood ready not only to
approve statehood bill, but to aid us
in every way he could. eff the people
of New Mexico will get down to busi-
ness, said the governor, "and show
that we will not take No for
an answer, we will get an enabling act
from the present congress. | hope
that my term as governor of New Mex
ico will be the shortest in the history
of the territory, and that | may give
way to governor elected by the citi-
zens of New Mexico" The governors
address was received with enthusiasm
and started the meeting off on the right
foot.
Governor Curry then suggested that
the meeting proceed with it's permanent
and was Immediately nom
mated himself for the position Of per-
manent chairman. The governor re-
fused to take the job, saying he believ-
ed it wiser to elect another man. The
following committee of six were then
named: M. A. Otero, of Santa Fe; j
Leahy, of Ration; W. B. Childers, of
H. B. Ferguson, of AL
0. A. Larrozolo, of Las
Vegas, Chas. F. Easley, Of Santa Fe.
This com mittee reported the organiza-
tion given above, and which was unani-
mously accepted.
The following committee was appoin-
ted on resolutions: E. S. Slower, of AL
buquerque; T. B. Catron, of Santa Fe;
A. A. Jones, of Las Vegas; Daniel H.
McMillan, of Las Cruces; w. S. Hope
WELL of Albuquerque; H. H. Majors,
Of Alamogordo, and Hon. Nathan Jaffa,
secretary Of the territory. 1t required

With every county in New Mexico
represented by two or more delegates
and with 25 or 30 delegates from the
nearby counties; with almost every
territorial and federal official in New
Mexico present, and in a meeting mar
ked by the greatest harmony and en-
thusiasm, the New Mexico Statehood
league was organized here this after
noon,
The purpose of the meeting and of
the league as set forth by Governor
Curry in opening the convention is the
promotion OF the cause Of statehood
for New Mexico before the congress
which convenes on Monday, December
2; to send delegation Of strong men
to send to Washington for that purpose
and to assure to this delegation all the
aid and support from the territory that
the people can give. The meeting was
successful in every way. 1t was mar
ked throughout by business-like en-.
thusiasm and a unanimity of action that
showed clearly the determination of
the delegates and Of the people they
represent to do everything that can be
done to promote the great cause and to
show congress that the whole territory,
without regard to party, is demanding
statehood, and demanding it now. 1t
took the convention but a very short
time to organize, it's resolutions were
short and to the point, and the one or
two efforts to inject partisan politics
into the meeting were speedily suppress
sed. Governor Curry himself, on sew
eral occasions poured oil on what prom
ised to become troubled waters.
The convention perfected perma-
nent organization, appointc1 q v>rking

Alamogordo, N. M, Nov. 20. The
United States court for the sixth judi
cial district, which convened in this city
last Monday with Judge Edward A.
Mann on the bench, will close tomorrow
evening.
The government has been represented
at this term by Edward L. Medler, as
sistant United States attorney, and
even though the session has been a
short one, considerable business has
been transacted Three cases have
been called for trial and disposed of,
the defendants in each case drawings a
verdict of not guilty at the hands Of
the jury. The first case tried was the
one of the United States versus Edu-
ardo Austin and Ambrosio, charged
with breaking into a railroad car at
Tucumcari and purloining several pairs
of shoes and some whiskey. G. c.
Davidson, of Tucumcari, conducted the
case for the defense, and the jury, af-
ter deliberating for an hour, returned
a verdict of not guilty. The next case
taken up was that against Sarah A.
Wereline, of Estancia, indicted for vio-.
lation of the postal laws. 1t seems that
the defendant lived some four miles
south Of Estancia in neighborhood of
four or five families, the custom pre-
vailing amongst them being that the
one who went to town called for the
mail of all. Last September Mrs.
Werline went to Estancia, called for
her mail and also that Of NJ. C. Quinnell
Both received letters. In her letter,
which was from her son, Mrs. Werline
read the information that he, her son,
had sent her money order for $25, but
had sent same in the letter to Quinnell
he presuming that in that way she would
get it quicker. The letter to Quinnell
Mrs. Werline recognized as being the
one referred to by her son, and as she
was in destitute circumstances, she op-
ened same, extracted the money order
and endeavored to have it cashed The
money order, how ever, was drawn in
favor of Quinnell, and, after two or
three efforts, she was unable to get
the cash. She then returned to the
home of brother of Mr.. Quinnell, in
the neighborhood in which she lived,
told what she had done, and turned let
ter and money order over to Quinnell,
the brother of the payee of the money
order, who took same to his brother
explained matters, and returned in
short time with M. C. Quinnell's check
in favor Of Mrs. Werline for $500,
claiming that she owed him $1,000.
After short deliberation, the jury
failed to discern any criminal intent on
the part of the defendant, and returned
a verdict of not guilty. E. B. Brumbaek
of Estancia, conducted the defense in
this case.
In the matter of the United States
versus Edward R. King, charged with
adultery and fornication, after the govs
ernment had introduced it's evidence
and rested, the court sustained the mo-
ton of the defendant for an instrct-
ion of not guilty, it being plainly evil
dent that the government had failed to
make out case against the defendant.

During the storm Of Aug. 18th,
about five o'clock, lightning struck
the large barn belonging to Dell
Roberts near Granite Falls, which
was nearly full of hay and it was
burned to the ground. Dell Roberts
was near the barn before it was
struck and it is supposed that he
stepped IN and was stunned by the
lightning and was burned to crisp
Ibis body being found by neigh
bors.
sunday evenings storm took the
Golden Gate mill dam out. This
dam is one of the oldest landmarks
OF the county, says the Brown Coun-
ty Journal. The pressure was too
great for the old timbers and they
gave way. The dam was construct
ed some forty years ago, and furn-
lished power for one Of the oldest
mills in this portion of the state.
jill. Heimerdinger owned and oper-
ated the mill for a number of years
and it did a Furnishing business, but
several years ago the mill was closed
and A. G. Won Hagen purchased the
property and converted the site into
an attractive summer home for the
Sleepy Eye Mill Co. s employees.
Morgan Messenger: Donald Nc:
Kenzie, that good old Scotch farmer
OF Eden. was in Morgan on Wednes-
day OF last week and arranged to
have the Messenger, print him
some bills for his auction, on Tues
day, Sept. 18th. Mr.. Mckenzie will
have a large sale. After farming
for 10, these many years, he has de-
cided to leave the farm and will
locate. at Redwood Falls. He has
rented his farm to his son-in-law, J.
P. Kragh. Our regret is that Mr..
Mckenzie is not going to live in
Morgan, but perhaps after associat-
ing with the politicians at the coun-
ty seat for year or so, he will de-
eide to move down to a good town.
Three Lake Benton farmers have
brought suit against the officials of
that town for damages aggregating
$4,000 for alleged raising of the level
Of the lake. The News declares that
! the case is likely to develop several
sensations. In the early spring,
when the lake was highest, certain
persons tapped the outlet. Then
the village council got busy and re-
paired the damage. No sooner were
the repairs put in than they were
torn out. This was repeated three
or four times during the season.
AS this is a case for the district
court, which does not convene until
i October. no legal action was started.
Now, however, the suits have start
ed the ball and should the defend
ants establish their rights in the
courts the parties who tapped the
lake will have to face the charge of
attempting to drain a meandered
lake, a charge that carries with it a
fine as high as $4,000.
