Van Ragsdale, SON Of T. X.
Ragsdale, Of Cooks, recently
made an interesting and curious
find in what is known as the
Alum cave in that historic
mountain range. It proves to
be a counterfeiter's pocket die
for making $500 gold pieces and
is as perfect as any the govern
ment could turn out. Mr.. Rags
dale brought the die to town last
Saturday and turned It over to
Sheriff Stephens. It is badly rust
ed but the stamp for both sides
of the coin can be easily dis
cerned and a $500 gold piece
TT; it toa nicely. The die bears
/ le date of 1874, and no doubt
was used by a gang Of counter
feiters who made Cooks Peak
their rendezvous about the time
the gold excitement in Califor-
MIA was on. 1t is certainly quite
an interesting relic.

Mrs. Elizabeth Baltzell died in
Kansas City, Mo-, March 26. She
was born Aug. IL, 1884, near Mt.
Vernon, ILL.,, and was the mother
of Mrs. VIM. Howard of this city.
She had long been an invalid and
death came as a happy release
from her sufferings.
Besides Mrs. Howard, three
other daughters and two sons
survive her.
Death Is the chilliness that pre-
eejes the dawn;
We shudder for 4 moment and then
awake
In the broad sunshine Of the other

Mexican Commits Suicide.

A young Mexican about 80
years old, named Frencisco Chac-
como. committed suicide in the
southeast part of town some
time last week, selecting a va
cant lot as the spot to bury his
earthly sorrows. The unfortu-
nate man shot himself in the
temple and when found had
probably been dead a day or
two. He had been in Deming
but a short time, coming here
from Chihuahua, Mex, and no
reason is known for his rash
act.

tion to detail. The recent luncheon
given for Mrs. Dean was remarkable
for the pretty decorations, as we'll as
the congeniality OF the company.
The guests were seated at the large
round table which was adorned with
orchids and maiden hair fern. The dis
tribution of the orchid baskets was
worthy of note, since a large basket
in the center of the table formed the
point from which all the smaller bas-
kets radiated. The smaller baskets
were connected by pale colored satin
streamers with the floral center and in
several. of the tiny baskets primroses,
lilies of the valley and frezias We're
added to the galaxy of spring blossoms
The color scheme was suggestive of
spring in yellow, pink and green. In
the spaces between the bowls of flow
ers clouds of yellow tulle in the pale
colors of spring heightened the pretty
effect. The butterflies of ribbon were
pretty innovation and the favors
itricornered bonbon boxes with the
initials of the recipient in green and
