left over for lack of space:
Misses Helen Gidersleeve and
Della Harris expect to leave to-
morrow morning for Greeley,
Colo, where both will attend the
spring and summer terms of the
normal school at that place.
There was an impromptu
dance in the Knights of Pythias
hall in honor of the visiting Tri-
Bullion people and their friends
of New York. There was a fair,
attendance and very enjoyable
time.
Lieutenant II. w. Lewis Of the
mounted police force is adver-
tising a reward of two hundred
dollars for the arrest and convic-
tion of the thief who stole a
blue horse from his corral in this
city Saturday night.
Mrs. Jas. f. Berry left We'd
nesday morning for Bonanza,
Mexico, on account of having re-
ceived the announcement that
her daughter Mrs. A. w. Edelen
was not in good health. Mrs.
Berry did not know how long
she would be absent.
Attorney and Mrs. John l..
Griffith have become the owners
of the Blackington property on
McCutchen avenue and are put
ting the residence into condition
for occupancy. Mr.. and Mrs.
Griffith are to be congratulated
on coming into possession of so
pleasant home.
1t is reported that Hon. A. A.
Freeman has recently located
near Fresno, California. 1t will
be remembered that Judge Free
man went from New Mexico to
Victoria, British Columbia, but
it is not at all surprising that as
loyal an American as he is
should prefer his own native
land to that of King Edward.
Hon. II. o. Bursum, who has
been at his sheep ranches in the
Oscura mountains for the past
month, writes that the lambing
season is progressing very favor
ably and that there promises to
be a ninety-tive per cent crop.
Mr.. Bursum writes, also, that
there was fine rain i'll the Os-
curas a few days ago and that
the weather continues splendid.
Attorney Jas. G.. Fitch and
family returned Sunday morning
from Santa Fe. Mrs. Fitch and
daughter Hannah had been in
the capital city two or three
weeks on the way home from
visiting the Grand Canon and
Mr.. Fitch was there Saturday to
attend the meeting of the demo-
cratic central committee, of
WHICH lie Is member.
Mrs. T.. f. Humiston left yes
terday morning for her home in
Gaylor, Michigan, accompanied
by her son Earl, who came to
Socorro about fifteen months ago
for his health. The young man
came so late, however, that even
Socorro's healthgiving climate
could do little for him.
Messrs. John Kerr, Fred Vim
and Dan Fisher of the forest
service were in town Tuesday
morning on their way home
from a meeting at Silver City.
Mr.. Kerr is supervisor of the
Magdaleua, San Mateo, and
North Gila forests, and Mr..
Winn is New Mexico's cowboy
artist whose productions attract
ed President Roosevelt's imme-
diate attention when he was in
Albuquerque a few years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. II. Browne
of Magdalena were in Socorro
between trains Monday morning
on their way home from a visit
of day or two in Albuquerque.
Mr.. Browne is very decidedly of
the opinion that within the next
ten years the plain between the
Socorro and the Magdalena
ranges will be converted into
wheat fields, and that by its cul-
'tivation the rainfall will be con-
siderably increased. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Browne is right.
