JUDGE E. A. MANN TO
HOLD COURT IN SIERRA

Judge Z. A. Mann, District
Clerk o. p. Downs and Court
Stenographer W. H. Ungles re-
turned from Tucumcari, where
the Judge had been holding
court, Sunday morning.
There were 234 cases OH the
docket and it was expected that
court would be in session three
weeks or mere. However, Judge
Mann rushed things from the
start and succeeded in practic-
ally clearing up the docket in
two weeks, thus saving the tax
payers of Quay county several
hundred dollars. Only about a
dezen cases were carried over to
the next term.
The Tucumcari News speaks
very highly of the manner in
which the judge conducted
things. 1t stated that several
night sessions were held.
Judge Mann will leave Satur-
day for Hillsboro, Sierra county,
where he will hold a term of
court for Judge Frank W. Par
ker, who cannot sit on account OF
sickness in his family. The
judge will be accompanied by
his court stenographer, w. H

OARRIzOzO WON TIE
SUNDAY BALL GAME

The Carrizozo base ball team
team came down Sunday and
cleaned the Alamogordo bunch
up in great shape, the score be-
ing Z too. ""
The home team played fairly
good oall until near the end of
the fourth inning. Along about
this time the right fielder muffed
a fly or two and the entire ag-
gregation went to pieces.
The Carrizozo boys played by
far the best ball. They seemed
to be organized and worked to-
gether.
A large crowd witnessed the
game.
The local team will play better
after a little practice. Practice
will take some of the stage fright
out of them. Suits have beer
ordered for the boys.

Do you take your old home
paper? That is, are you a sub
scriber to the little country
newspaper printed in the town
from whence you came to Oterp
county? If so, save every copy
that you. receive from now on
and hand or mail them to H. La
Sale, Alamogordo, and you may
be the means of bringing in q
few settlers. t
The plan, briefly, is this:
Nearly every issue of the old
home paper contains one or more
little items about this or that
man selling his place, and nine
times out of ten when a farmer
in the East sells out he is getting
ready to move west. Take a
pencil and mark all items of this
kind.
Mr.. La Sale has made ar
rangements with the real estate
agents of the city to furnish
them with the names Of those
farmers and Others who contem-
plate changing locations. The
real'estate men in turn Will send
these people literature descrip
tive of AlamogordO and OterC
county. In fact they will send
them literature at intervals fol
several months.
If you see no items in the ole
home paper of the nature above
described, send Mr.. La Sale the
paper anyway: He will look II
over carefully and may find sew
eral names that he deems wise
to turn over the real estate men
