Dear One" Is Mista ken.

Some weeks ago, not many how
ever, a young man, who has been
in Tucumcari about year, receiv-
ed a letter from his dear little girl,
down in Mississippi, cautloning
him to please he mighty careful or
else come back to Nicksburg, lest he
get shot IN some OF the horrible
massacres OF tins country. The
dear one, OF course has been raised IN
a country where all is happy and
peaceful and no one gets shot

white man every now and then.
She really thinks that this country
is being over run by desperados
and Indians who lay waste the
villages, destroy the crops and take
= the women and children captives.
The Quay county records show
that the dear one has an exaggerated
idea OF this country and the fact OF
the matter is that l~ailers, surgeons
and yellow journalists have so little
TO do that they are compelled TO
dabble in real estate on the side.
Quay county is a large place and
thickly populated and h S

still the only ones to b e
found in Jail are three Cinnamon,
a negro and a harmless alleged

hasn't been half dozen murders in
this country in its history.
