in turning the wagon just as the
horse was struck sufficiently to
throw him away from the track
as he was knocked from his seat.
Mr.. Peterson was badly bruised
in the wreck aud on being picked
up by friends, who had witnessed
the mash-up, was carried in the
S.P. freight Office, and DR.. Steed
summoned, who took the un-
fortunate man home in his buggy
and gave him proper medical
attention.
A young man by the name of
H. +. Peacock, who recently
came to Deming, was riding
with Mr.. Peterson at the time OF
the accident, but jumped in time
to save himself from being caught
in the wreckage.
The horse was a fine animal
and the wrecked wagon was
practically new.

Robert P. Ervien from cancel
ing certain contracts for the
tract of land situate in Grant and
Luna counties along the MINI
bres river and an order TO show
cause why the land commission

been issued by Judge McFie.
The land in question belongs to
the territory and involves about
$4,000 acres. The tract was Sc
lected for the purpose of con-
structing irrigation works and
placing it under cultivation.
Commissioner Ervien, it seems,
would not approve the contract
because less than twenty-five
thousand dollars, as stipulated,
have been expended in the pre-

tiff alleges that the required pre-
