ANOTHER COLONY TO

John Casey of Waterloo. Ia. wht
made a visit to this city on March
14th. at which time he purchased a
section of land, returned yesterday
with the Edwards Martin excursion
and Is now planning to lay QUA the

He states that it will be situated
about twelve miles east of the city
near the hotel to be erected by the

first steps to be taken will be the
erection of school house. He In
tends to locate on his land with his
family before the opening of school
In the fall and says that large mum
bers of farmers from his vicinity will
also come out to make their homes
here. He states that many OF them
will arrive ON the next excursion
which leaves a week from next Tues
day.
Mr.. Casey is intensely interested
in the project and has already seen
w. A. Buddecke, in regard to an cleo
trio line to the new town. Mr.. Bud
decke Is considering the proposition
and as soon as the town becomes q
reality it is quite probable that a line
will be built as the colony is to Be
close to the proposed hotel and al
most In the center OF the vast tract
of land which is being taken up br
farmers.
Mr.. Casey says that land tn the
vicinity Of Waterloo. not whit more
desirable than San Miguel land, is
selling from $50 to s1oo an acre and
that many farmers are anxious to
dispose of their holdings there and
come to Las Vegas to take up much
larger tracts. He says that the land

grand and that 1t will make desira

Sallie Van Wick, Vice-Pres. of the Anderson Driving Club, Atlanta says:
 Knowing how prevalent hard colds are at this season of the year, I want to tell the people of New Haven my experience with Vinol, the best cod liver oil preparation in the world.
 q contracted a severe cold and cough, and tried different cod liver oil preparations and cough remedies; they only upset my stomach and gave no relief l finally sent for my physician. He advised me to try Vinol. found it was delicious to take, and did not upset my stomach, but it built up my general health, and made me feel stronger and better than I have for years.
 If Vinol does for New Haven people what it did for me it will be worth $l00 bottle to them,'
 Our local druggist, Wm. H. Hull. says: "The reason Vinol is So ef1lca- cious is because all the useless oil has been eliminated from the medicinal el- ements of eods' flyers and tonic iron added, and we have never sold a rem edy equal to Vinol for chronic coughs, colds and bronchial troubles or to build up a weak rundown system, and we will return the money in every case where it fails to beneat '-HulPs Corner Drug Store.

As a sequel to the so-called "pig case" a civil action for s37 has now been brought by Willard Barnes against Clifford E.. Minor, It will be remembered that some time ago Mir Barnes was arrested and accused of having stolen a pig from ex-P Policeman Pickering and Cook. MT. Barnes claim ed to have owned the pig, or at least with mistaking it for one he owned. There was absolutely no intention of any theft on his part as he had sold some pigs to Mr. Minor, and that was how the mistake occurred. He was discharged in court
 The bill of particulars in this civil action states that MT. Minor still owes a balance of $37 on the pigs, at s each, and two sows at SIC each. This totals to $47. of which the bill alleges only $10 has been paid. The action is to recover the balance,
