SIXTEEN OHINAMEN
CAPTURED AT TULAR0SA

Monday morning of this week
the real early risers in Alamo
gordo might have seen an ordi-
nary looking covered wagon pas
sing through town en- route to
the northward. You can't al
ways tell much by the looks, for
the load that wagon contained
was is live Cinnamon. Just
how is live men or dead ones
either could be packed into up
per and lower beds of an ordi-
nary wagon is a question which
can be answered only by Chi
neese smugglers. The FL Paso
immigration officials had re-
ceived knowledge of their cross
ing the river and knew what
kind Of outfit they had so for
three days and nights q. G..
Gonzales, A. q. Burnard and O.
IF. Miller followed the wagon
being II hours behind. At this
place they soon found that the
team had passed through town,
had also passed through La Luz
and phone to the deputy sheriff
| at Tularosa resulted in the
capture of the entire bunch.
The two white men are Car
AdAmson, the only eye witnes,
of the killing of Pat Garrett anC
w. Sullivan a railroad man who
is reported to be we'll known tt
the immigration officials at L
Paso. 1t is said that these two
men were to receive $500 pei
Chinaman to land them in New
York City. One of these mel
were deported from this place
about 4 menths ago. This buncl
gave jailer Murphrey p stal
lChinese boarders at his hotel.

NO SYNONYM
OF DEFEAT FOR US

Mr.. +. G. Shaliner and his son,
Mr.. Robert Shaifner, Waterloo,
Iowa, have been spending sew
eral days in Alamogordo. Mr..
ShaH'ner, ST., has been kind
enough to say that after having
seen the principal places of New
Mexico he thinks Alamogordo
the most beautiful town and the
most desirable place to live. He
may invest here and he says that
six or eight promising young
men of Waterloo will probably
visit Alamo in the fall with Il
view of locating. Encouraged
by Mr.. Shati'ner's kind words, we
might build our syllogism some
what thusly: Waterloo meant to
Napoleon the end Of his dream
of a world empire. Waterloo
may mean to Alamogordo sub
stantial aid toward future great
ness. Therefore Alamogordo is
greater than Napoleon.

up to Mullinsville, Kans. They

When this. commission COM
pany gets its stride it is going
to be a great thing for this town
and county, as it has been in the
past, nearly all the cattle in the
country were SHIPPED from River
side, way over i'll the Pecos val
ley. The money was drawn
there, deposited there and spent
there but that business rightful-
ly belongs to Alamogordo and
this firm are going after it. They
have an Office desk in Clements

This week B. r. Land Of this
city brought in an old geography
which has been in his fathers
family for years, he don't know
how long. The book was pub

very queer history of this and
other countries. For instance a
post script gives the information
that Maine had secured the
consent of Massachusetts, to "a
constitution of government" but
it was not yet an independent
state.

ton to his weight as a hawk or

weight of a male bald eagle weighing
nine and one-quarter pounds and a
female weighing twelve pounds.
A horned owl will weigh from four
to FIVE pounds, and have several
times known one TO carry off large
house cat One was very large
one and the owner. told me he could
hear the cat cry as he was being
carried off. Now, any one who will
weigh a large house cat will find 1t
to weigh at least ten pounds.

very large chicken which would weigh
more than twice what the hawk
would The marsh hawk is one Of
our weakest hawks, but he had car
ried this chicken over a quarter OF a
mile. My belief Is that II a hawk
or horned owl can carry more than
twice It's weight land ! know posi-
lively that they CAM that an eagle
could, II occasion required, do as
much In proportion TO his weight
which would be to carry eighteen
or twenty pounds.
Once when an eagle, shot through

back, upended a long road skid and
dropped II on him. Before Il reached
