MADISON COUNTY
 MAN IN TROUBLE.

Van Buren, Dec. 22.-Early last night man giving his name as II. C. Johnson and his home in Madison county, appeared on Main street coming from the dir. eetlon of the Frisco bridge with blood streaming down over his face from bad scalp wound, and so weak from the loss of blood and his wounds that he was at the point of collapsing.
 He was met by Officer James Doerr and to him lie told the story of how two companions that walked with him from Fort Smith, had robbed him, after beating him up until he could no longer resist them. He gave the officer the names of the men as well as an accurate description ot them and 1t IS believed that they will be captured.
 While Johnson admits that they were on the tramp, he ill., sisted that he was enroute to Madison county to spend the holidays with his relatives, Monday afternoon he boarded an Iron Mountain train at Salisaw and, while on the train, he met one of the men and after they reached Fort Smith they were joined by the other one. They bought liberally of whiskey and alcohol while there and late in the afternoon they came to Van Buren, crossing on the ferry. After crossing the river and while waiting an opportunity to catch d north-bound train, they visited the old hobo camp, With which all seemed to be perfectly familiar, and it was at that point Johnson was assaulted and robbed of S6, all the money he had.

ESTABLISH SANITARIUM
 AT ROGERS

Dr. ]. (. Pennington last Sat urdav sold the Summit House in the northeast part of town, to J. A. and J. P. Greerfof Springdale, who will take possession about the first of the year and are ar ranging to make a sanitarium of the place. Messrs. Green and their families have been at Springdale for several years, go- ing there from Battle Creek, Michigan, where they were both professional nurses and have much experience ln that line of work. They will install all the necessary apparatus for electrical treatment, massage, etc., and will also take patients who find it necessary to undergo opera. tions. The Summit House IS located in one of the very bes, parts of town for sanitarium and we hope that the new owners will succeed in building up a practice there that will make them permanent residents of Rogers.

 At this station We change time and are now on Mountain time. We are sorry that owing to dark ness we are unable to describe this portion of the territory of New Mexico, but from what We can learn there is but little differ enee in this section and that DOT tion of Texas already described, except that the further west you go the less buffalo and the more sage grass and cacti grows, also there is considerable musquite brush, or trees as they call 1t here. It Is bush like in shape but sometimes grows to a small tree and makes excellent fire wood. We gradually ascend the mountain up to height of over 6000 feet. At this point we couldn't have hurrahed for Taft if lie had carried old Arkansas, It was all we could do to breathe sufficient to sustain life. But after pufflng the cars full of smoke and cinders the train final ly reached the summit, and we descended into d living atmoS- phere much faster than when we ascended. Arriving at Tularosa 1t 4:40 a. III. and dark as Egypt, we bid the train farewell and be- gan to hunt tor some means of conveyance to get up to the town. We finally run onto d full blood Mexican who couldn't talk a word of English and we couldn't talk a word of Spanish or Mexican, but after making all kinds of signs and curves that would have convinced any civilized person that we were national base ball fan, we finally succeeded in mak- ing him savy that we wanted to get up town, so he took Us out to where he had hack standing all the time waiting for passengers. We found, after riding what seemed an hour to us, that the town was mile and quarter from the depot. Why this is thusly we were unable to find out, but II proves great detri- ment to the town.

Thumbs down, which was easier, drouth, no crops, and the easy way wins four times out five. There are numbers of colored people settled in this portion of the state, and although we did not see a field of corn that boast ed a good-sized nubbin, yet these people have the same happy-go- lucky look as Louisiana coon who has goobers and possum three times a week, but "la bless you man, rse done got 160 acres of the bestest land in America" It don't take much besides that to keep 'em a rolin.
 We expected to see wonders when we reached the much ad- vertised Pan Handle of Texas, but We were more disappointed with the outlook after we crossed the line than at any point of our journey. While for looks 1t IS all that Is claimed for 1t, being a beautiful level stretch of as fine looking land as lies out doors, yet from where we entered the state on the east until we passed the border on the west in- to the territory of New Mexico, there was not particle of evil dence that the soil had, this sea- son, or would any other season, produce anything to sustain man or beast except the abundant buffalo grass, and even 1t seems to be giving place to the bunch grass and eaetis plants. This section, under thorough system of irrigation, would be a veritable garden spot, but there is not rain enough there to raise sage hen. But there Is one thing here that seems to grow and take root on every plant and spear of grass in that section, and that Is nerve. Why, the real estate boomers board the train the minute It strikes Texas soil and they tackle every man, woman, and even the children, on the train, and to hear them tell of the magnifieence of their eoun- try, the possibilities @ of the soil, the abundant crops, the ease with which corn. wheat, oats, potatoes, melons, fruit in fact anything-can be produced, one could almost magine that he was entering paradise. And when we asked them why there was no evidence of these enor- nous crops visible along the line of the railroad, oh, they said, the farms were all way off the rail- road, but that new lines were be- ing built into the territory of these great wealth producing lands.
 Talk about real estate men in Springdale being somewhat care less of the truth. why, man alive, even that new firm there with all its trlumverent reputatlons are simply markers compared to these real estate boomers of Pan Han dle, Texas. In fact they would give Ewalt the race of his life to take shake down with them Even the kids ot Dalhart go to meet the trains with posters on their backs, "No race suicides here, we lead the strenuous life, and a big sign at the depot noti- fies the passengers that the train stops fifteen minutes, plenty long enough to come up and take din- ner with the ladies aid of the Christian Church. Springdale will have to move some to get on with the Pan Handlers.
 After leaving Dalhart we pass through some rough, broken land and begin to climb in altitude much more rapidly, entering New Mexico at Naravisa at an altl- tude of 4194 feet. Here we re. ceived the first news of the cleo tion, which was New York Dem
