JOHNSON ORGANIZER OF
THE OLD HICKORY CLUB

In order to set right an inadvertent
statement about the organization of

that in making notice of the Hickory
Democratic club of Highland Park and
Garvanza you speak oft being organ
lied through my efforts. While 1 in
common with several others took part
in the launching of the organization,
1t was mainly through Charles F. John
son that it was given start at this
time. The first meeting was held at
his house, and the first suggestions for
it came from him. After the first meet

another, for all the Democrats in the

Hurt by Careless Boys.

DIR. Wernette was here from Ala
mosa Saturday attending to the
wants of his dental patients ard
will make weekly visits hereafter,
being at the La Jara drug store
tomorrow. The doctor has entirely
recovered from the effects of pc
culiar accident of which he was "a
victim during the month of Sep
tember. He was making his way
from the Hotel La Jara to the train
one very dark night, just as he
reached the crossing leading to the
depot the train whistled and he
heard some boys running behind
him. He stepped to the edge of
the walk to let them 90 by but one
ran with great force against him
and he was thrown to the ground
and rendered unconscious. The
boys or some one must have picked
him up and put him on the train
which was half way to Alamosa be-
fore he recovered consciousness.
A dislocated shoulder and deep
scalp wound were the results of the
accident which laid the doctor up
for nearly six weeks. He is pretty
well satisfied as to the identity OF
the party who ran into him but has
not as yet entered complaint.

AtenCio Acquitted.

The trial of RONALD Atencio,
charged with the murder of Rafael
Pena, the marshal of Antonito, last
August, was held before the district
court at Conejes this week. The
case was given to the jury about 6
O'Clock Wednesday evening, and
after a little over two hours de-
Liberation they returned a verdict
of not guilty. Attorney j. d.
Pitcher, assisted by IL. Bloomfield,
represented the state, while the de-
fendant wasrepresented by ex- Atty.
Gen. Eugene Engley of Alamosa,
and Octaviana La Azora.
The murder with which Atencio
was charged occurred last August,
when Rafael Pena was shot by an
unknown man while standing in
his back yard, the murderer firing
from behind fence. Before dying
Pena made the statement that he
was shot by Atencio, but the de-
fense introduced testimony show

Occupy Handsome Home.
[. B. Richardson and family hav

I. B. Richardson and family have
moved into their new house on
Poplar street Mr.. Richardson
came from New York state where
they build large houses and he fol-
lowed his early training in design
ing one which contains besides
numerous closets, Railways, etc,
four rooms upstairs and six down.
To people raised in the west it
seems out of all proportion to the
size of the family but be that as it
may it is good to see such large
and handsome dwelling built in
La Jara. On entering the front
door one comes into large recep-
ton hall from which the stairs
wind to the second story. A pc
culiarity of the design is that the
doors leading from the halls both
upstairs and down are set into the
corner of the rooms, diagonal with
the walls, instead of at right angles
as is common. The effect is to
give a larger hall and relieve the
appearance of stiffness caused by
numerous sharp corners in such
entrances. Mr.. Richardson's is
indeed a model home which should
be seen by all who are the archi-
tects of their own dwelling

Growing Barley in Colorado.

Barley is adapted to most sec
tions of Colorado. 1t makes its
growth and ripens in fewer days
than the other grain crops. This
particularly fits it for the dry lands
of the plains, as the moisture of
the early spring is often sufficient
to mature fair crop before the
summer draught. Barley natures
in the short seasons of high alti-
tudes.
The yield on the plains is from
ID to 40 bushels per acre, depending
largely upon earliness of seeding,
preparation of the soil, and selec-
tion of seed.
Barley ripens in many sections
of Colorado at attitudes as high as
5000 feet In Gunnison county.
on farm at an altitude of $500
feet, barley has ripened every year
without fail for thirteen years.
In the lower irrigated sections,
the average yield per acre is 50
bushels. and often runs as high as
80 to 100 bushels.
According to the L. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, the average
yield of barley, per acre, in Colo
RADIO, for the past five years, has
been the highest of all the states
east of the Rocky mountains.
According to the same authority,

Nearly Killed by Mean Horse

Harry kritte, employed at the
Pioneer livery barn was badly hurt
Thursday about noon by horse
belonging to j. j. Lobato. Mr..
Lobato drove in from San Luis
and the horse was warm and
nervous. When the young man
went into the stall to feed the
animal it reared, knocked him
down and trampled him; he doesn't
remember how he got out from
under the cruel hoofs. Harry's
injuries consist of a broken nose
and numerous cuts and bruises
the worst of which is upon the
right side and leg. To the fact
that the horse was not shod the
young man probably owes his life.
Dr. Blissard dressed the injuries
and today will insert tubes in the
nose and shape it up if the young
man can stand the pain, and he
believes no permanent disfgur-
ment will result.

large ranch here, they doubtless
will make this their future home.
One morning of last week the
thermometer registered l3 degrees
below zero at the early hour of our
rising; but Monday morning at the
same hour the mercury was noted
shivering at IA degrees below.
Unusually cold for sunny San Luis.

One of the social events of the
week just passed was an informal
surprise party at A. p. Mortensen's
residence. Fifteen of his friends
called in with picnic to do the

in honor of Mr.. and Mrs Sylvester
Collier who are guests of Mr..
Mortensen. Mr.. Collier is from
Fruitland, New Mexico, and is a
brother -in-law of Mr. Mortensen.
The chief event of last weeks
happenings was the celebration of

A sumptuous table was spread with

Barley is cheap crop to raise
and brings good returns. 1t usually
sells for so cents to SlOO per hund-
red pounds, and in November, 1908,
was worth Sl.35 per hundred
pounds in Fort Collins. If more
were raised it would be largely used
to take the place of corn in fatten-

meat produced from barley feeding

Pacific coast at the very reasonable freight rates made by water transpor- tation.
 Ut is 120 miles from Yuma to the Gulf of California, and 44-foot channel
 between these points is beyond perad- venture feasible and would furnish am- pie water, the cost would be nominal compared with the enormous and never ending returns.
 "River aud harbor improvements come through congressional appropria- tion and are of necessity slow of pro- gress. This improvement, while of course of great importance to Yuma, IS of much more vast importance to southern and western Arizona and to each of it's citizens, whether they be engaged in the rarehing, mining, mer- camille or live stock business, since the welfare of the one depends to great extent upon the welfare of the other. and all would be benefited by having deep sea port close at hand. It is the duty of every citizen of Arizona to take an interest in this public improvement and now is the time to begin concert ed action along the line, and all should so energize their efforts that by the time the big canal is completed the A. foot channel from Yuma to the Gulf would have been long since assured and completed, and the then Greater Arizona which we have striven faith fully to build will be still greater by reason of that greatness which comes through close contact with deep sea shipping. .''-Arizona Gazette,

He thinks he threw out his hand instinctively to save himself and the contact with what his wrist struck changed his position anu prevented him from alighting on his head. At any rate he considers himself quite lucky to get of with so little injury.

William Douglas, who only recently began ffteen-year sentence in the territorial prison for burglary. com mitted suicide Monday by taking muri- attic acid. When Douglas was brought before Judge Campbell at Tucson for sentence he made plea for long sentence and asked the judge to give him the limit, which he did. Douglas urged as reason for his plea that he was confirmed thief that he couldn't t resist the temptation to steal, and that he had been in prison so much that he didn't really feel at home anywhere else. He was 45 years old and had spent 23 years of his life behind the bars. But evidently he had had enough at last, and with nothing differ ent or better to look forward to, decid- ed to end it all by ending his earthly existence and try an eternal sentence in the Great Beyond.
