BONDS HRE SOLD FOR COURT
HOUSE and CURRENT EXPENSE
A. NJ BerQee for Eastern Parties Offers Par for $4,000 and
is accepted By the Board. Deeds for Court House
Block also Accepted

porter Mr.. Bergere said that he was act
ing for eastert parties in this matter
and that the bonds were virtually sold
already; that the investing agent would
necessarily come and look over the rec
ords, but as soon as this was accom-
plished the funds would be ready. He
said that within thirty days at the out
side the funds should be available for
payment by the commissioners. The
bonds sold at par.
1t is very satisfactory to the many
citizens of the county to learn that the
bonds haves sold at such good figure,
for under the circumstances of the
money market this is very good price
for the bonds. Not only are the needs
Of a court house and Jail pressing but
those who hold accounts against the
country for the first year of its exist
ence, which have never been pail, are
clamoring for their money and should
be paid.
sEQuite large amount of routine busi-
ness was taken up and disposed of by
the board. In the matter of letting
the contract for the county printing
two bids were received by the board
and after lengthy discussion vote was
taken which resulted in tie, one com.
missioner voting for each, the chair
man of the board being ill and unable
to be present. This matter was laid on
tho table until the next meeting, the
public printer for last year, P. A.
Speckman, holding over.

turn from his old home in Montague

The brother was working in cotton

ing the arm. In trying to extricate
himself he was thrown against the saw
the muscles of his arm being cut to
shreds besides receiving several serious
cuts abou. the head and face. Physi-
clans have about succeeded in saving
the injured member, but it will hang
useless by the side of the body for
years if not for a lifetime. Mr.. Bone
says it is a miracle that he was not
killed outrisht.

In District Court

William Frazier, through his attor
neys, Klock & Owen, today filed suit in
the Bernalillo county district court for
the recovery of sheep valued at 5000,
which he alleges were stolen from him
in the Estancia valley in 1905. Nestor
Savedra, of Los Paiillas, is named as
defendant in the suit.
Savedra is not charged with stealing
the sheep, but it is alleged that the an
imals became a part of his focks
through theft committee by one Man
uel Garcia, who was convicted of the
offense and sentenced to term in the
penitentiary for so doing. Savedra ad-
mitted that some of the plaintiffs sheep
became mixed in his focks and the
plaintiff recovered a number of them.
The plaintiff alleges that he did not re-
cover all of them.

Wait is Order OF Head Cdnnp

For several years strenuous efforts
have been made by members of the
fraternal insurance order of the Modern
Woodmen of America, resident in New
Mexico, to have this territory admitted
into the jurisdiction of the order.
Recently the matter was re'opened
with the head camp officers, and strong
petitions went in from Albuquerque,
Roswell, and many other parts of the
territory asking that the committee
having in charge the admission of new
territory give favorable report on the
New Mexico application.
At the regular meeting of the COM
mittee on new territory at Rock Island,
ILL.,, the following action YVES taken re-
garding this and other applications;
1--WE have considered the states of
New Mexico, Mississippi, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Arkansas and the
British possessions lying north and con-
tiguous to the United States. Youl
committee is of the opinion that the en-
tire state of Tennessee should be adj
mitted to the jurisdiction without any
restrictions whatever, that the states
of Mississippi and New Mexico are not
admitted; that the state Of Arkansas is
only in part admissible.

Among other things done by the
board of county commissioners at the
regular meeting last Monday was the
acceptance of the deeds to the block Of
ground donated by the New Mexico
Fuel & Iron Company as site for the
county court house About three years
ago block of ground was rendered by
the company, conditionally, but the
board did not see its way clear to accept
the deed under the conditions imposed
Later the block was accepted in so far
that fence was built around it and a
number of trees set out.

said, pro and con, and so little done,
that most of the residents of Estancia
and vicinity had become weary and de-
clared that any place would be salts

So the action of the board in this mat
is approved almost unanimously.
A. M. Bergere of Santa Fe appeared
before the board and offered a resolu-
tion giving to himself the power and
authority to sell, for the board, ten
thousand dollars worth Of Court House
and Jail bonds and five thousand dol
lars Current Expense bonds for the
year 1905. The resolution struck ia
vorable chord with the board and was
passed. In speaking with NEWS re-

More Settlers
for the Valley

George Falconer, who accompanied
his wife to Santa Fe recently, returned
home Monday evening, with smile all
over his face. Not because he return
ed alone, but because Mrs. Falconer
had on Sunday morning presented him
with an eight-pound daughter. Mrs.
Falconer is at the Diaz Sanitarium in
Santa Fe, and together with the young
lady, is doing well. George will proba-
bly, rally, all right, or at least his
friends think so.
On last Friday girl was born to Mr..
and Mrs. o. M. Bruffett, of fatigue
Draw. And on Sunday an eight and a
half pound daughter came to make her
home with Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Brown,
living about two miles west of town.
With the population increasing at such
a'rate there can be no danger of race
suicide in the Estancia valley.

Last Saturday Mr.. and Mrs. Hull of
Mcintosh were in Estancia with their
little child, for medical treatment. The
little fellow, while playing with pen
Gil had the misfortune to run the pencil
into this eye, which member became
badly swollen. The parents feared that
the lead was broken off and remained
in the eye. On account of the swelling
and soreness, the surgeon could not
probe fer the piece Of lead, and must
need wait until the swelling had gone
down and the soreness been relieved at
least to some extent.

Illness Of Few Days
Proves Fatal

Last Friday night, Mrs. Emma Den
nison, who had only few weeks past,
made final proof on her homestead
about four miles from Moriarty, sue
cumbed to an attack of heart
trouble, her illness lasting only a
few days. On Friday morning, her
brother, Harry Kelley, who has an ad-
joining homestead, was of the opinion
that she would rally, but it was not to
be.
The brother left on Saturday with
the remains for the old home at Harper,
Kansas, where a sister still resides.

A couple of years ago the application
of New Mexico was before the head
camp at its annual meeting and would
possibly have passed had it not been
for the gross misrepresentation of the
delegates from Arizona who were pres
ent and had the ears of the commit
tee.
The action of the committee is incom-
prehensible to the members of the
order in New Mexico. Territory COM
pletely surrounding this territory has
been admitted and the records of our
towns and cities show a lesser death
rate than most others of the admitted
states There are no diseases or epi-
denies peculiar to New Mexico. There
is much dissatisfaction expressed at the
action of the committee on the applica-
ton and delegates will be sent to the
meeting of the head camp the coming
summer with strong petitions and such
a showing that it is not believed that
the head camp will refuse the applica-
tion again. 1t seems that adverse re-
ports have gone in from those who do
not understand conditions and also that
New Mexico has many enemies to its
enjoyment of other privileges than
statehood. Journal.
