Laws Regarding The
Trespassing Of Animals.

The running at large of cattle, sheer
hogs goats or burros is violation OF
the statue laws of New Mexico.
Section SO says: ''No person or per-
sons shall have any large stock run
ming at large during the months of
March, April, May, June, July, Aug
ust September and October, nor under
any pretext whatever to have at large
on their ranches or herding ranges
unless they shall have them under
custody during the months above
specified. And every person or per-
son who shall violate the provisions
OF this act shall suffer fine and costs
as provided in the laws in force in
this territory"
AS to the damage of crops by ami
mails; chapter 98 section l, under the
laws enacted by the Both Legislative
Assembly says: whenever any an
lLlal or ANIMALS is found damaging
any cultivated field the same shall be
turned over to the justice of the peace
OF that precinct Immediately after
such damage has been committed and
said justice of peace shall hold said
animal or animals at the expense OF
the owner of said animal or animals
until such damage has been paid.
That any person holding any animal
or animals for more than twelve hours
without turning the same over to the
Justice of the Peace shall be barred
from making any claim for such dam
age.
Considerable-da e-damageshas been done
of late by the stock running at large
and there has been much complaint
and inquiry regarding the law on this
matter. Thus we deem it necessary
and available to publish the above
laws.

Never before has New Mexico enjoy
ed the position ard high standing al
the National Capital as he does today.
No Delegate of New Mexico ever
commanded the respect of powerful
political men as does Hon. w. II. An
drews. His associates and collea CUES
are powerful men in the senate, such
as Senator Penrose of Penn. who is
now leader in Taft's Campaign.
What explanation can we give for
New Mexico faring better than any
other Congressional District? Did she
ever before receive $50, 900 appropia-
tian for irrigation purposes, which is
almost double her share. Was there
ever before such efforts made for fur
thering the interests of the veterans
of the Indian, Civil and Spanish
wars? Was there ever before such
liberal appropriations for public build
ings as has been since Delegate w. H.
Andrews has been at the helm?
What New Mexico has long wanted
is statehood and with Mr.. Andrews
representing her, she will get statehood
in a very short time. Although Mr..
Andrews has two worthy opponents,
shall we trade known quality for the
unknown?
Let us stand by our present delegate
who has done so much for the uplift-
ing of New Mexico and who has the
strength in Congress to do SO much
more, and let us work for the renomi-
nation of Mr.. Andrews and help him
to complete the great work which he
has commenced.

Who's IS Who In New
Mexico!
Grant County Goes Instructed For
Andrews. Chaves And San Iuan
Are Friendly To Him.

The Grant County Republicans held
their convention August Bird and elect
ed six delegates to represent Grant
county at Santa Fe, August 18th. The
six delegates were instructed to vote
for the denomination of Delegate W..
H. Andrews.
Chaves and San Juan counties also
held their conventions and while their
delegates are to go unipstructed, the
majority of them favor the renomina-
tion of w. HI. Andrews. Mora county
held her convention yesterday and we
feel confident and ardently hope she
will stand by her sister counties and
send delegates favorable to Andrews.

AN ACT OF CHARITY.

Monday evening while our Managing
Editor, went out for an evening walk
in company with several ladies and
gentlemen, toward the northwest cor
ner OF the townsite, they came to a
pile OF tin cans and other rubbish.
which marked the spot of grave,
when he related a story of a man who
was shot at Roy when the town first
started.
This mans name is unknown to us.
he was the cook for the rail road well
drillers. (Mulhollen camp.) One even
ing the drillers feeling jolly from the
influence of liquor, were making pre-
parations to go duck hunting, at least
that is what they claimed. Mr.. Null
hollen entered the tent with shot gun
where the cook was washing dishes,
the gun in some manner was discharg-
ed, the entire load of shot being emp
tied into the abdoman of the cook
who died almost instantly.
The coroner jury exonoratsd Mr..
Mulhollen claiming that death resulted
from unavoidable accident. The man
was buried by his associates on the
rail road right of way near the north
west corner of the townsite, where now
the tin can and rubbish pile marks
his grave.
This man had some earned money
but>no kncws what became of it. No
one seems to know where he came from
or If he had any relatives.
This matter was brought to, the at
tentionof the Swastika Dramatic Club
and they decided at once to investigate
the matter by d special committee
composed of A. S. Bushkevitz, Jacob
Floersheim and 81. Goodman as to
taking the remains and giving
them a respectable burial.
This is great work on the part of
the Swastika Dramatic Club and they
should be highly commended for their
great and noble act of charity.

flight of time.
At very late hour the dancers de-

Roy Needs Better Mail Service

The people and business men of
Roy should get together and demand
a better mail service. All mail ad-
dressed to Dawson, Taylor, Abbott,
and Mills must first 60 to Tucumcari.
A mail clerk could be placed on
the Dawson train, thus we would OBJ
tain much quicker and better service.
We should also petition the Govern
ment for a mail route between here
and Clayton. Mail could be carried
by automobile.

then Miss Malissa took charge of
the place and has conducted the
boarding house from that time to
the present. At first a local
boarding place it has grown un-
til today it is known throughout
the State, not as a hotel, but as
one of the best boarding houses
for transient people that could be
reached anywhere. There are
now at the boarding house board
ers who were there before Miss
Malissa took charge twenty years
ago. This speaks a great deal
for her management.
There are but two members of
the family left. These are Mr..
Cornelius Hopkins, of Hillsboro
section, formerly of this city,
and Judge L. G. Hopkins. of
Liberty, Missouri. In addition
to these there are a few nephews

house and one of the best known
lady boarding house keepers in

day morning. Her death came
at 4:30 o'clock. Heart trouble
was III. cause. Friday she was
apparently in as good health as
usual. .
Miss Hopkins was i'll but a few
minutes. Her death was a great
shock to the numerous boarders
and the travelling public. Satur-
day morning between 4 and 4:30
o'clock she rang for the night

to send to her Mr.. Allan Thomas,
who has been for a long number
Of years a boarder at her house

get her hot water and physician.
As he passed from the room she
pitched from the bed to the floor
