Chisum, both we'll known residents
of this vicinity. He was a brother of
the late John S. Chisum, the pioneer
cattle king, and lived many years at
the old Chisum ranch southeast of
Roswell.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
morning at ten o'clock at Artesia,
where burial will be made, probably
under the auspices of the Masonic
fraternity, and a number of Roswell
friends are expected to attend.

and L. J. Johnson were elected elders
to fill the places of elders whose
terms had expired, and E. A. Cahoon.
Robert Beers and w. A. Wilson were
elected trustees.
All the departments of the church
were represented, and when the an
nual reports were called for, they
were made in writing, showing the
interest in church affairs. These re-
ports all showed the church to be in
good condition, both spiritual and fin
ancial. The treasurer's report shows
that all bills are paid except the pas
tors salary, upon which there is due
a balance of $14S with $32 in the
treasury.

quarters; but this does not dispose
of those already on the ground. The
law requires them to be buried two
feet deep. Should they not at once
be buried or burned, and should not
the city have crematory or dump
ing ground further away? Say in the
hills in one regular place, and not
every direction, where fields are u1-
fenced, to annoy the owners and dis
gust those driving by.
Should this duty not devolve on
sponsible? AS it is most of these ami
mails are carted off by any one who
will haul them, and this at night.
Now as Roswell's new era of inn
provement and cleanliness is sweep
ing over US, let us take hold of this
matter also. 1t is now a menace to
public health and utility, and this is
good neighborhood where many nice
homes are in the making, and whose
orchards will be one of Roswell's gar
den spots il a few years.
Shall we not demand immediate
action?
l am sure as the zephyrs watt the
fragrance of the country air through
he streets of Roswell it will be the
cleaner and more pure, full of health
and happiness, rather than laden with
disease germs and death. Yours res
pectfully,

Washington, Mar. 17.-The senate
Committee on Finance today voted
unanim to amend the Aldricn
bill by eliminating railroad bonds as
security for national bank note circu-
lation 1t was also decided to amend
he bill so as to retain the provision
of the present law prohibiting the re-
tirement by national banks of more
than nine million dollars of circula-
tion in any one month. The commit

,reasing the taxation on emergency

GETS ANOTHER
TRUNK LINE RAILROAD.

That Roswell will have another
transcontinental railroad line in the
no distant future is evident from a
recent special dispatch to the Tope-
ka. (Kansas) State Journal from Man
gum, Oklahoma. The dispatch reads:
George d. Locke, of st. Louis.

southeast from here to Headrick,
Chattanooga and Lehigh.
MIR. Locke when asked what effect
the death of Russell Harding would
have on the prospects of building this
road. Mr. Harding having been the
moving spirit in the enterprise, re-
piled:
sI do not know. Mr.. Harding's IS
death occurred in New York City
communication with my associates
since. However, while it may delay
and disarrange our plans to some ex-
tent, we are going ahead with our
preliminaries, and the road will be
built as far as Roswell, New Mexico
in the near future.

Oklahoma and central and west Texas

can haul from Arkansas and eastern

NO SIGN OF PEACE IN DENVER
AND RIO GRANDE STRIKE

Denver, Colo, Mar 17.-There is
no sign of peace in the Denver and
Rio Grande strike. In the local shops
only five men are at work, and they
are heavily guarded. AS near as can
be determined the local situation is
typical of conditions along the whole
line. The union machinists, boiler
makers and blacksmiths consider the
present strike a struggle for the pres
ervation of the unions in the West.
There is little possibility that the
trailmen's unions will join the strik-
ers, unless the road should attempt to
break contracts with them, which is
unlikely. 1t is not improbable, how
ever, that the shop men on all the
Gould lines may be involved before
many days.

TROOPS IN BATTLE

Shots Exchanged.

Paducah, KY, July, 2S "A
battle took place last midnight
in front of the home of Henry

and night riders. About fifty
shots were exchanged before the
night riders fled. None of the
soldiers was wounded.
Bennett was whipped by the
night riders last winter, and his
warehouse burned. He has been
threatened because he recogniz

seven soldiers from Marion has
been established at his home.
Last evening four night riders
were seen about the premises,
and watchful soldiers discovered
a score of armed men slipping

Before the night riders got with
