To the Citizens of Roswell:-Much

production. The parts will. be taken
almost entirely by members of the 10
cal lodge but a few outside minstrel
artists will be secured for the occa-
sion. In fact, three OF four of the
best voices in the city have been Sc
cured already. The show will be a
good one.

if properly and conveniently placed,
order to assist the movement. All the
trees in the streets of this character
will be taken care of by the city.
Trees that are trimmed in the nan
ner indicated will not bear cotton for
three or four years after such trim
ming. In the meantime If property own
ers would plant other varieties of trees
in a very short time, without destruc-
ton to shade or beauty, the old trees
could be removed, the new ones TAX
ing their places.
Persons should be careful in trim
ming trees, and none should under
take it who are not perfectly familiar
with the varieties of cotton woods.
There are two varieties of cotton
woods in Roswell that do not bear
that does, and not many of those re-
main, but enough to make it decided
ly uncomfortable every season in
certain sections of the city.
We hope that this suggestion will
be acted upon and the citizens will
assist the local government in his
matter.
Respectful submitted,

Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Nov. 4.-John Blick, a
graduate of Throop institute and a
brother-in-law of Major Frederick r.
Burnham, the famous South African
scout and mining man, started east
this morning and will sail from New
York, November 10, on an exploring
trip into the wilds of Africa. Young
Blick was with Major Burnham in the
African wars and is already somewhat
famous as an explorer and hunter.
Mr.. Blick is to be the guest OF the
son of Henry Frick, one of the coun-
try's steel magnates. These two ad-
venturous spirits with some others
are to plunge into the jungles, and
their course will take them through
the country which Roosevelt has just
covered.
John Blick is a crack shot with the
rifle and during his former visit In the
dark continent bagged much large
game, including lions, elephants and
tigers. One feat he accomplished was
to capture two lion cubs, and taking
them to London, disposed of them for
$500 each.
The present trip is expected to con-
sumo about nine months. The party
will be in Africa at least six months
of this time. John Blick was formerly
the captain of the Throop football

Who Forged Deed to
Orange Grove

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 4.-John
H. Lightfoot, a former prominent real
estate broker, through the mercy of
the court, today was released from the
custody of the sheriff, a free man.
Contrary to all expectations that
there would be a hard fought legal
battle, the alleged forger withdrew
his plea of not guilty and was SEN
fenced by Judge F. f. oster to five
years In San Quentin, the court in the
next breath ordering the prisoner re-
leased on probation.
In paroling the prisoner Judge Oster
reviewed the case and in outlining
what his future conduct must be TO
fulfill the provisions of the probation

of the conditions whereby he was given
his freedom would result in the serv-
ing of the sentence in the state
prison, Lightfoot for five years must
not touch liquor or have anything to
do with women not of his own house
hold.
The paroled man was Immediately
offered work by E. r. Werdin, q paw
ing contractor, and tomorrow Will as
sumo his duties. He will not be al
lowed to leave the state without the
permission of the court.
Early in January Lightfoot, who IS
member of one of the oldest and
most prominent families of the city
forged a deed conveying to himself an
orange grove near Highland. He then
mortgsged the property. The forgery
was detected by the owner, S. Jones

LONG BEACH, Nov. 4.-Chauncey
Hale, a young millionaire from Mans
field, O., who has been visiting Howard
Smith and other friends in this city
and Los Angeles, believes that an at
tempt to rob him was made by TWO
men, who put Knockout drops in a
glass of wine in a San Pedro saloon.
Hale had 5000 i'm cash in his pockets at
the time and was wearing $1,000 dia-
mond pin and an $500 ring. That he
saved his valuables and perhaps his
life through running from the saloon
Immediately after he drank the wine
and catching a car for Los Angeles is
Hale's belief.
After leaving Howard Smith, who
returned to Long Beach via the Salt
Lake, young Hale, who Is "a years DID,
entered the saloon in question and or
dered a glass of Wine Two men were
standing nearby and he asked them
to Join him. They consented readily
While the wine was being poured out
Hale stepped away from the bar for a
minute or two. AS he returned to the
bar he asked the bartender how soor
he could catch a car for Los Angeles
The bartender replied that he could gel
there on a car which was just ther
near the saloon. The Ohioan gulped
down his drink and ran out and board
ed the car.
Almost Immediately he felt a strange
drowsiness coming over him and he
remembers nothing that happened
until the conductor succeeded in arous
ing him as the car entered Los An
geles A policeman accosted him as hi
almost fell from the car, but a stranger
noticed that Hale Wore an Elk pir
