The annual limit sale of Messrs.
7. A. Muirhead & Co. promises to
surpass anything of its kind ever
held in Tucumcari. Mr.. Muirhead
has recently returned from an ex-
tended trip to the various markets
where he secured numberless bar
gains, and he is now offering to
share his profits with the people.
He has made extensive prepare
tons in order to make this sale a
success. His stoi has been closed
for two days and a large additional
force employed in order that those
attending the sale will suffer no in
convenience in having to wait to be
served. Everything will be marked
in plain figures and an able and
proficient force of clerks will attend
to their wants. His store and ware
rooms are packed to OVERLOOKING
with the best lines of merchandise,
and at prices that will suit the
purse OF the smallest buyer. Mr..
Muirhead, as an additional induce
ment, has offered quite a number
of beautiful and costly souvenirs
to those attending this sale, and
there will no doubt be some very
great competition on the part of the
buyers to secure them.

GOOD NEWS TO
THE SETTLER
Plowed Land Not Taxable as I'm
provenentS on Homesteads
Not Patented.

The fact that the assessor, act
ing under the advice OF his attorney
had begun the assessing of plowed
land on unpatented homesteads,
has been causing much discussion
among the people, and that this pa
per did not believe it the intention
OF the law to assess such lands, we
sought an interview with Terrific
rial Auditor Stafford, who happened
to be in town this week, as to the
intention of the territory in this
matter, and we were informed that
the question had been up for con-
sideration and that such lands were
not to be rendered as taxable The
News believes there is much equity
in the ruling of the territory on
this point, as it would work a hard
ship on many farmers who are
spending a large amount of their
small SURPRISES to break out their
homesteads.

He told of the trial of the trust, in
which Mr.. Rockefeller was called as
witness. Mr.. Rockefeller declared that
he did not remember the figures on the
oil trust because the books were in Cleve-
land. After months of effort in all OF
the courts an order forcing the oil trust
to produce the books was issued In
the meantime twenty-six boxes of books
and files had been burned. An action
was begun by Mr.. Monnett charging con-
tempt of court. The Standard Oil conf
pany, however, had succeeded in electing
two judges to the Ohio supreme court
who were friendly to the trust, and the
court then stood three for the trust and
three against, which effectually stopped
the prosecution. The next year another
Standard Oil trust judge was added, and
at present all six justices are said 10
be friendly TO the Rockefeller interests.
