No Mexico for Goodnight

Col. Chas. Goodnight, one OF
the historic characters of the
West and one of the foremost
citizens of the Panhandle, was in
Dalhart Monday enroute to his
home in Goodnight from Denver.
A Texan reporter held very in
terestlng conversation with him
and was told much he did not
know of the early history of West
Texas and New Mexico, among
other things that the remains of
an old fort just beyond the Rab'
bit Ear Mountains, to the left of
! the Denver road and west of
Clayton, marks the spot where
the. Mexican army made great
preparations to defeat the army
of Gen. Taylor during the MeXi-
can war, The fight lasted less
than twenty-four minutes and
the noble Spaniards made way
for liberty. The reporter called
attention to the fact that a great
many newspaper items were ap.
pearinG recently to the effect
that Col. Goodnight had bought
an immense domain in Old Mex.

lands on the market and move
his buffalo herd and his cattle Ia
that country. In reply the Col.
Onel stated that he did not know

been looking over Old Mexico
and the West extensively for sew.
eral months, and that it was his
best judgment that the Panhan-
die of Texas was the best place
to live in and to makemoney that
could be found, and that he was
not going to sell his property
here. On the contrary, that
whenever he had any money to
invest in real estate he would put
it in the soil of the Panhandle,
and that there was no chance for
man to lose money in Panhan.
