BITE MAY KILL
GUADALUPE COUNTY WOMAN

Sunnyside, N. M, Sept. 12.--Mrs.
Clyde Roland, of near this place, is in
a serious condition as the result of
bite by rattlesnake which lay con-
cealed under a piece Of wood on the
ground. Mrs. Roland was walking
about in the evening and idly stepped
to one side to pick up something be-
side the path. Instantly she felt a
sharp sting in the head and discover
ed that her forehead was bleeding
freely. She Immediately began to feel
sick and reported hsa injury at the
house. Investigation was made to find
what had stung her and in turning a
scantling the searchers found a rat
tlesnake two feet long, which was i'm
mediately killed. At 8 o'clock that eve
ming a messenger was dispatched for
DR.. Lovelace, fifteen miles distant. At
4 o'clock in the morning, after an all
night drive, the physician arrived and
did all he could for the patient, who
was then suffering tortures. The wo-
man was brought to Sunnyside and is
now under the doctors care. Her
chances for surviving are about equal.

today, regarding the failure of A.

fish, game and seed corporation, which
was placed in the hands Of a receiver

That the company's books have
been juggled for period extending

from the liabilities and the books
made to balance by a similar juggling
Of the asset column. BY reason of this
manipulation 1t is alleged the corpor.
alton had been enabled to float paper
that otherwise might not have been
accepted by the purchasers.
Members Of the Booth family are
said to be in no way involved in the
questionable transactions and are the
heaviest losers by the mismanagement
of others in whom they reposed the ut
most confidence.

fine of $50 and a Jail sentence of thirty
days and revoked his liquor license
for two years. The jail sentence and
revocation of Garcia's license were
suspended pending good behavior.
Joseph Martin, of San Juan county,
who has been indicted on a charge of
selling liquor to Indians, pleaded not
|guilty this morning and being unable
Ito furnish $500 bond, was placed in
