which he did Monday afternoon.

70 ATTEND ENCAMPMENT NEXT YEAR
Local Militia Boys Are in Line for
Trip Next Year Drill Night
Is Changed.

The Alamogordo boys who be-
long to the National Guard will
find that they have not lost any
thing by missing the Las Vegas
trip, for had they attended this
year the company could not go
to the big national encampment
next year. The national encamp-
ment will be held either in Cali
fornia or Montana, and will last
a month.
At this encampment thousands
Of troupes will be gathered from
all over the country, and the
Alamogordo Company will be in
shape to make showing with
the best of them, if the boys
will only come out and drill on
the regular nights, and pay at
tention to the instructions Of the
drill master. To attain honor
among all the companies at the
National encampment, Company
l must approach perfection, but
with the able officers, it rests
only with the boys as to what
kind of a showingwe will make.
Another thing: Unless the
company is up to certain stan
dard when inspection comes, we
will not get to go to the encamp-
ment. The Roswell company was
not taken to Las Vegas this year
because the members fell down
on inspection.
The drill night has been
changed from Friday to Satur-
day.

Was Racing With an Automobile
When BE COllided With Street
Car on Fort Bliss Line.
WIFE WAS N ALAMOGDRDO At TIVE
Mr.. Seamans Was for Some Years a Resi-
dent of AlamOgOrdO. Large Crowd
Attended Funeral Which Was
Held Here on Tuesday.

H. P. Seamans was killed in
FL Paso late Saturday night by
the collision of the horse he was
riding with a Fort Bliss car.
Returning with his friend Ju-
lius w. Lorentzen, both horse
back, from a dance at the Coun-
try Club. Mr.. Seamans was
racing with an automobile driven
by James l.. Mari, and looking
back at the auto, when his horse
collided with the Fort Bliss car,
moving in the opposite direction.
Both rider and horse were killed
almost instantly. Mrs. Seamans
was in Alamogordo at the time,
visiting her mother, Mrs. Ack-
ley and sister, Mrs. Chas. Thom-
as, and left on the early morn
ing train Sunday for FL Paso.
The remains were brought to
Alamogordo Monday afternoon,
and the funeral conducted at the
residence Tue sday afternoon,
Rev. John Meeker conducting
the service. The high esteem
in which Mr.. Seamans was held
in this community was amply at
tested by the large number of
friends who attended the funeral
service-paying the last sad trib-
ute to the departed one. The
pail bearers were: w. E. War
rem, F. @. ROLAND, j. A. Thorn
as, Theodore Thulemeyer, E. H.
Cox, Guy Wadsworth.
Mr.. Seamans lived in Alamo
gOrdo for seven years. During
that time he was engaged in sew
eral different enterprises. About
two years ago he moved to FL
Paso and entered the soda water
supply and fixture business, and
was building up a fine business.
Mrs. Seamans is a sister of
Mrs. Chas. Thomas, of this city.
A strange sort of fatality seems
to pursue the family of Mrs.
Seamans. just a few years ago,
her father, Harry Ackley, a well
known passenger engineer on the
Southwestern, was killed by the
Overturning of his engine near
Corona.
II is to be hoped that the last
Of these sad accidents has hap
pened-that there will be no
more to affiict Mrs. Ackley and
Mrs. Seamans.

abandoned. The ideas Of the
architects have now been sought
