Ross Hollingsworth, general
utility man for the Conejos Roller
Mills Company is missing and
worse than that nun Der of forged
checks drawn in his flvor have
been forwarded to the American
National bank for collection by
various firms in Denver and Kan
sas City. 1t seems that officers of
the milling company called him
down last week for over drawing
his account and soon after, he
left for Denver, saying that he
could borrow the money there, re-
turn and square up his debts. In
stead, however, he borrowed a
couple of dozen of company checks
and forged to them Manager Law
toms signature. A number were
cashed for 500 each by firms with
whom the milling company is in
the habit of doing bussines and
they are stung for the amounts and
not the milling company. Hol-
lingsworth while agent for the rail
road company at Alamosa some
years ago, defaulted to the tune Of
about 81 200. He was tried, con-
victed, and only escaped term in
the penitentiary through Judge
Holbrook's kindness of heart.
Hollingsworth's young wife plead
her husbands cause SO earnestly
that the judge suspended sentence
during good behavior, he was given
employment in the mill and a
splendid chance to redeem himself
He was tireless worker and
rapidly gained the confidence of
men who had befriended him. But
it seems he was not made of the
right kind of stuff and was at heart
a gutter and crook. His wife,
in delicate condition, is again
deserted and disconsolate, his bene-
factors chagrined, his debtors
cheated of their money, and he
himself a flying fugitive from
justice. Its a real tragedy with
the hero left out.

sponsors. Immediately after the
ceremony the happy couple and
their guests repaired to the home
of the brides parents, a few miles
west of town, where an elegant
dinner was served, and refresh
ments served all through the day.
In the evening a grand ball was
given in honor of the newly-wed
at Ortiz hall. The large hall was
filled to its utmost capacity and
everybody enjoyed themselves till
the wee sna' hours. All going
home satisfied with having
spent a very happy time. after
voicing their congratulations and
good wishes to the happy pair.
The dance was characteristic of
the good people of Capulin, quiet
and orderly in every respect. The
bride is the beautiful, youngest
daughter of Don Hilario Valdez, a
well-to-do sheep raiser and promi-
nent citizen of Capulin. The
groom is the son of Don Zenobio

A marriage epidemic has broken
out in Capulin and many of the
young people of both sexes are
seriously affected. Several we'd
dings are scheduled for this month,
more for September, with no hopes
in sight of stamping out this con-
tagious and fatal malady.
Just before the wedding dance,
Jose Chavez, the Capulin attorney,
was called upon and made an
address. He spoke briefly but in
well chosen words of advice to the
young couple just starting together
upon their journey through life.

er Lumberton." The Charlotte
Chronicle copies the following
from The Robesonian:
1T is proposed to amend the
town charter, making Lumber
river the limit on the west. A
strong resolution was passed
against any change and urging
upon the Senator and Represen-
tatives from Robson the import
ance of not making the change
proposed. 1t is thought that if
the proposed change were made
the section just across the river
would become a refuge for un-
desirable citizens and would be a
constant menace to the town."
The Chronicle shows by the
caption under which it copies the
above that it is laboring under a
mistaken idea. We want NO
lesser" Lumberton. The sec
ton referred to is already in
cluded in the town limits and the
proposed change would contract
the limits of the town. She is
not blowing much about it, but
Lumberton is becoming Greater

FOR PERMANENT ROADS

Elsewhere in this paper will
be found a news item in regard
to a meeting which will be held
in Lumberton on Tuesday of next
week to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
of making some changes in the
present road law of Robson
county. We hope the meeting
will be well attended and that
the subject will be fully and free
ly discussed. There is no ques-
ton of greater Importance to the
people of the county as a whole.
The present method of working
the roads does not seem to meet
the necessities at all, and it holds
no promise of any permanent,
lasting roads. Everyone under
stands the necessity for good
roads, the benefits to be derived
from them. There is no use ar
guing that point. The only ques-
ton is how best to obtain them.
We hope at Tuesdays meeting
serious consideration will be CIV
en- to the ACCESSIBILITY of asking
the present Legislature to allow
Robson to vote on bonds in the
sum of, say, 100000, for the
permanent building and improve
ment of roads. Twenty-eight
cents of the present tax of IS
cents is for roads. AS at present
used little good is accomplished
If we are not mistaken a little
calculation will demonstrate that
interest and sinking fund fol
bonds in the sum of $500, OOC
could be provided for less money
than is being raised for road pur.
poses now, and the question
would be solved for all time tc
come The present patchwork
system is little better than use
less, while if sufficient bonds
were issued to build permanent
roads, the whole county woulC
be knit together and Robesor
would be a veritable garden spot,
There IS no guess work or idle
dream about the benefits to be
derived from roads such as Robe.
son could have by these means
and there is no other way to &C
complish the desired resultant
the bad roads that are the curse
OF the county at present are toC
expensive at any cost.
If this matter is not submitted
to the Legislature during tn,
present session it will of cours.
necessitate another wait of tw.
years. If the matter is consider
ed IN the proper light we be
lieve the meeting at Lumbertor
next Tuesday will result in ;
request to our Senator and Rep
resentatives for an election t,
determine the question of an is
sue of bonds in some such amour
as suggested above.
