INTERESTING CASE
IN PROBATE COURT
Little Five Year Old Lad is
Object of Sharp
Conversation.
GIVEN TO ED LOVE

One Of the most interesting eases that
ever come up in the local probate court
was up for decision this week when two
parties petiiioned for the lawful Gus
tody Of Chas. Henry Reece, n little
Ave year old boy who had been aban.
doned In this city.
The child was left here about a year
and was taken In hand at that time by
Ed Love and wife. Later they turned
him over to G. o. Pruett and wife but
II has since been alleged that Mrs.
Pruett was no ht custodian for the boy
in that she mistreated him. Hearing
this Love filed II petition for the custody
Of tho youngster, alleging that Mrs.
pruett was not competent to take care
Of him. Mrs. Pruett also filed u peti
tioL for keeping the boy aud two days
were consumed In discussing the case
II was finally settled in favor Of Love
on the grounds that he was the first
10 petition for tie guardianship. The
Judge found Mrs. fruett not guilty OF
the allegation Of mistreating the child
but maintained that Love should have
the lad since he was the first to petl
tIon for him.
Little Charles il bright Ave year
old boy with large eyes and golden eurl'
hanging over his shoulders. lie attend
cd every session of court and seemed
to listen attentively to the proceedings
although wholly unconscious Of the fact
that he was the object of contention.

BANQUET BRINGS
MANY TOGETHER
Toast Program Claimed to
Be Best Ever Given in
Tucumcari.

The hnppIcst occasion ia the history
of Tucumcari was without IA doubt the
shirt Sleeve Banquet given by the eiti
lons Of Tucumcuri Ia Masonic Hall last
Saturday night. over two hundred were
present, aud had there been more tick
cts on sale there Is no doubt but what
hundred more people would have been
there.
1t was u grand success for an affair
Of its kind and as result the people
of Tucumeari are now closer together
ia the bonds of brother IOod. II brought
the citizens near To each other and eac b
one now realizes that every one else is
trying to do the same thing he is. All
are interested ia the common cause OF
building city and country aud ali
now feel more like helping the other.
Socially II was jolly occasion and
this hall was flooded with much mirth
aAu good cheer. Every one was happy
aud whale II is termed dry banquet,
there was nothing dry about the oe
cHsion, and every one was in good spir
its though the glasses did not elink
literally.
The most enjoyable feature Of the
banquet was the toasts, aud 1t is claim
ed by many that II was the greatest
program Of toasts they ever had the
pleasure Of listening to.
The 6rst, "Our Lineup" was given
by j. W. Campbell and when II ha'
been said that II was delivered in a
Campbelistic way, generally, enough
has been said, but on this occasion hs
spread himself and delivered what II
claimed to have been the best toast evel
heard in Tucumcari. II dealt with
the cosmopolitan population Of Tucum
carl and Campbell made every fellow
Dc his place.

CORNER STONE LAID
AMID CEREMONIES
Parade Over Half Mile Long
Marches from Town to
School House.

Many Of the towns and cities Of the
territory celebrated the Fourth in
grand old style but Tucumcari was sec
ond to none when IL came TO observe
the day patriotically. The days pro
gram, printed In the News of the morn.
ing Of the third, was carried out to the
letter without the slightest thing to
mar the pleasure Of the celebration.
The feature OF the day was the laying
Of the corner stone at the new school
house, when practically the whole town
turned out 10 take part. the parade
which marched TO the school house was
one Of the greatest to ever march
through the local streets and when the
end was just falling into line ut the
corner Of Main and Second the head
was over u half mile down Second
street.
Tho parade was headed by the Grand
officers of the territory Of the Masonic
lodge and followed by the other lodges
OF the city. The school children came
next, over Ave hundred strong, and they
we're followed by the citizens generally.
Arriving AT the new school building
nm excellent program was carried out
and the corner stone laid. Reed Hollo'
man made the address Of the day aud
talked interestingly on the Importance
Of Education, In which he referred to
the bright future Of the territorial edu
eati institutions.
NJ was furnished by the band aud
sn to the flag and songs were rem
dere by the school children. The cor
ner tone was laid by the grand officers
of the Masonic lodge.
Into the stone was placed a roster
Of the Masons, Odd Fellows and Re
bekahs A program Of the days proceed
ings was also placed there together
with a copy oI the Tueumeari News
md several individual cards and papers
A. the conclusion Of the exercises the
crowd adjourned 10 the ball park where
the hrst ball game between TucumcarI
aud Santa Rosa was played.

TUCUMCARI FANS
WITNESS TWO GAMES
Saturdays Game an Excel
lent Exhibition But Not
So Sundays.

TucumcaTi fans were treated TO two
games of ball last Saturday and Sunday,
The local boys picked up a team and
defeated the team from Santa Rosa In
both contests. The first resulted In II
score Of eleven to eight and the second
eighteen to twelve.
Ia spite Of the large score the game
on Saturday was an excellent exhibition
Of ball but Sundays game was bit
uncomfortable owing to considerable
squabbling" on both sides and much
criticism Of decisions.
la Saturdays game the visiting boys
piled up three runs in the first inning
aud kept lead through most Of the
game that looked as though II could not
Ice over come. The home boys, however,
took bracer toward the close Of the
game aud won by the eleven to eight
score.
The second game was Tucumcari =
from the start although most Of the
kicking ON decisions was made by the
local team. Two and three baggerS
were common occurrences, not so much
because Of the excellent batting but
poor fielding. The only home run OF
the day was made by Hines, Of the
local team.
The next ball game to he played here
is now being arranged with the Daloari
team and will come of in about tive
weeks. The Dalhart boys are anxious
for the game but since they have u
well organized ball club II was thought
hest to postpone the game until the
home boys can get together more FIRE
quently,
