 We are all quite comfortably situated In furnished cottage, not far from our lot. Col. Dunn, | stranger io ns, offer ed it to US as long as we wished to stay, free of charge. There is everything for keeping house except sheets, towels and pillow cases. These hnd to buy We shall stay here as long as We cam or think 1t wise, and then relnrn to Chelsea--of course Ia our own home if il be ready, or we shall make some tenn
 porary arrangements as we did before the fire.
 The fire caught in Dr. Smiley's cot- tnge. Probably In some way from The chimney or fire place, as hc had Il good fire there during the day, it being very
 rainy, and probably the woodwork got overloaded.
 When first discovered the fire was underneath the flooring. When we 1 looked across from our chamber, afler
 we had been awakened by tie cry of | ire, Il was all ablaze underneath the cottage. We knew then that nothing l could save our house. We awakened
 the children and told them to dress 1 quickly, while we did the same. put on skirt oyer my night dress and put
 on ii, shoes and stockings, and then. 1 hastily took down what clothes were | in my own room and the lother front room, tied them up and we all went
 out. The only things took away as
 went downstairs was my watch and . picture of MT. N. that was by 1t. As
 we went out, the ncighbors came in and carried out my sewing and washing machines, n new hammock and few small articles--that is all we saved from house comfortably furnished. All our new stock of underwear, besi- clothes, sheets, towels, napkins, dishes, cooking utensils, trunks, provisions. etc.--all gone. Our boats and two steel fishing rods were saved. The towns people took us in, and we found even here that we had host of friends.

Yesterday afternoon the victory OF
the Cadets of the Military Institute
over the town team was by the score
Of five to four, and was briefly men
toned in yesterdays Record. 1t was
nothing short of a lucky strike for
the cadets and an equally unlucky
one for the town boys The soldiers
were out-batted by the Roswell play
ers and on this occasion they made
more errors than did the town team.
1t was merely the way the hits and
errors happened to combine that
gave the victory to the side to which
it went.
The game opened with the town
on mixture of three hits and three
errors.
The soldiers did not score until the
fourth, whea with two out, Conroy
got base on balls, went to third on
Crowell's nit; Crowell stole second
and the two came home on Cavit's S
two bagger. In the next inning they
tied up the score when Webster, Sc
curing base on balls, ran home by
the aid of two errors.
But the score did not stay tied long.
In the sixth, Chance, for Roswell, got
a hit and was pushed around ON err
rors.
The cadets won the game in the
eighth. WyQne and Stains had gotten
singles and when Jones failed to COW
er second, Wynne scored and Stains
got to third -Crowell then knocked
a sacrifice fly to left and Stains ran
in the winning tally.
The town boys escaped scoring in
their half of the eighth by a close
margin Wilson got down ON Monto-
ya's error and to second on a wild
pitch. Jones got a stingi1g hit TO
short center, but Watkins made a
lovely throw and cut OFF Wilson at
home plate.
Thus it will he seen that the scores
were made largely through errors.
And the game seemed slow.
The two stolen bases by Crowell
were features of the play. He slid to
second for both and landed safely.
They were the only stolen bases OF
the game.

on even to the seventh heaven and
nowhere could he find a place to rest
his bird. While the application was
not made directly to Mr.. Allen. it was
obvious that Mr.. Smith considered
that Mr.. Allen had been unable to
find a perch for his bird. Story after
story was told by the speaker, every
one with its point of application, and
the house was kept in a continual
roar.
The Record believes that Mr. Smith
paid the people of Roswell one of the
highest compliments that has come
to our notice AS a pastor, he said
he had travelled over much ground
and through many towns AID cities.
but he would say that nowhere had

citizenship as in Roswell-such a self

petents did not thrive il this clim-

were here. and the town was almost
absolutely free from the class of peo-
pie who become a burden upon COM
mun:ties To the women of Roswell
the speaker also paid tribute. They
were intelligent, progressive. moral,
well educated. womanly women. the
best of their kind.
The stock yards of Wichita and the
packing houses were represented by
IT, W. Moore, of Wichita. Wichita
handled last year more than a hun
dred thousand head of cattle. Here
in the Pecos Valley we had cattle
and alfalfa. A cattleman always
pricked up his ears when alfalfa is
mentioned. In the early days when
stockraising was the chief business
of the country about Wichita as it is
now the chief business of the Pecos

been opposed to the farmers coming
| in and plowing up the range-but
the farmers came, and now there
were more and better cattle raised
and fattened in the same territory
than ever before. 1t would be the
same here. The small farmer and
stock raiser is the real builder of
the country. He bespoke for Wichita
the interest of the cattlemen and lar
mers of the Pecos Valley.
Mr. Parker, of Albuquerque, was
called upon to speak a few words to

The Wichita Trade Excursion came
in last night from the north, arriv-
ing in Roswell about 7:45. There were
about eighty boosters in the outfit,
and they brought along their own
band, a good one, too.
Arrangements had been made to
meet the party at the depot by mem
bers of the Commercial Club and the
Roswell Band, but the late arrival
made the plans slip up somewhat.
Nevertheless there was a good atten-
dance by the time the boosters got

trail Hotel. By the time they arrived
on Main. street with both bands play
ing, the street was crowded and
black with people, and the visitors
were given a great reception.
The great event of the evening,
however, was the reception and smo-
ker at the Commercial Club After
eating at the Central, the boosters
gradually drifted to the Club rooms
and there were warmly welcomed
Mayor Richardson and other mem
bers. The attendance was large.
After some time spent in social
talk and getting acquainted, Presi-
dent Kellahin called the gathering to
order and a program of speech-mak
ing was started.
Mr.. Kellahia called upon Mayor
Richardson to formally welcome the
visitors to Roswell. and Mr. Richard
son responded in neat address. He
reminded them that they had come
to one of the best valleys in the
West. the valley that produces fine
apples and finest alfalfa. and in the
name of the people of Roswell bade
them a hearty welcome to Roswell.
Mayor Richardson brought ont the
connection of Wichita and Roswell
through the late Jerry Simpson. a
rnsn Of whom Roswell was proud
he his friends. We had appreciated
him as had the people of Wichita
and even more so. He referred to the
closing days of Mr.. SIMPSONS life
in Roswell, and also told of the con-
nection between Roswell and Wichita
through the Masonic order, many of
the members of the local lodge being
members of the Scottish Rite Consis-
tory of Wichita

whether to laugh or run. Growing Sc
rious, for an instant only, he told of
the growth of Wichita, of the busi-
ness prosperity that was hers and of
the many things within her borders.
They had come to the Pecos valley
to get better acquainted and to knit
closer the bonds of friendship and
business relations. They had the
things we needed and could put them
down here in two and a half days.

boasted of the marvellous climate OF
