rendered real surprise at his
homestead 4 miles northwest of
Alamogordo. There was too
small space in the shanty so the
feast was spread upon the ground.
Some thirty Swedes, the friends
of the Rev. N. were in promi-
nence, bringing refreshments
with them. The feast was
bountiful and varied in dishes.
A gift of money was presented
Rev. Noren; poetry for the oc-
caslon was composed and read by
Mr.. Lundberg Of this place. A
talk was given by the same
party and responded to by Rev.
Noren, who also preached to his
friends on this occasion. Every
body seemed to enjoy the sur
prise, the poetry, the talks, the
very fine repast and the propi-
tious weather. Everyone of the
surprise party returned home
feeling amply repaid for the
trip and the sacrifice made.

HOBOES WORK

Stubborn Ones Get the

MEXICAN CONVICTED
Stole Several Gases Of Straw HATS
and Drew Ninety Days.

Jistice W. X. Stallcup has
been dealing out justice with a
stern hand this week. AS a re-
suit the streets of the city are
being put in order.
Hoboes have occupied most of
the judges time. Altogether.
nine deciples of James Fades
How have appeared before the
judge during the week. Three
had papers showing that they
were railroad men en- route to Ell
Paso, where they intended to
make an effort to secure work.
Inasmuch as they had not been
begging they were released and
told to hit the pike for their al
legged destination. Six others,
however, were not so fortunate.
They pleaded guilty to having
violated the vagrancy law and
were fined five dollars and costs
each. None of the hoboes had
the money with which to liqui-
date and were placed on the
streets for ten days each.
One "bo" decided that he
would not work. Jailer Murphy
attached a ball and chain to one
of has hind legs aud placed him
on the street in front of the
court house. He was told to
work or go hungry. Late Monday
afternoon he decided that the
jailer meant business and went
to work. By Wednesday after
noon he was subdued to such an
extent that he was divested of his
jewelry and promoted to the
regular gang.
A Mexican named Chon Cor
dero was up before the judge
Wednesday charged with steal
ing several dozen straw hats
from NJ. Bruno. The evidence
was conclusive and as a result of
being caught the Mexican will
spend the next three months on
the streets of the city.
