Thus the score was even: The Stars re-
marks were printed the day before the
Taft Inauguration. Then the storm de-
scended, and the country hasn't yet heard
the last about it. Indeed, those who have
been wanting the change all these years
draw the line at last weeks experience;
the insist that Congress simply must take
the Initiative for an amendment. And, be-
yond question, these crusaders are getting
just now an unusual amount of moral
support in newspapers all over the cOun-
try. The idea seems to be that any date
near the list Of May will do.
A Good Argument.
From the Rome lGa.) Tribune Herald.
Since the Inauguration of Mr.. Taft as
ditions attendant on that important &C.
casion. there has been general discus
sion throughout the country in regard to
changing the date of Inauguration of
President and Vice President to either an
earlier or a later date. The climate of
Wa shington, d. C. is rather noted any
way for its uncertain character at some
seasons. and SO many carefully planned
spectacles have been spoiled
by unfavorable weather that the argu-
ment in favor of a change seems to be a
good one

scribed it's evolution from a series of

Tex Cravens Tells Of Gold Strike

Last Week

/ Judd S. Cravens, better known
among the boys as "Tex, =
| when in Estancia Monday, was
seen by a News reporter in re-
| gard to the gold strike in the
| Manzanos west Of Mountainair.
He, together with Luis and
| Marques Tarin, made the first
strike of gold last week, which
caused the stalking off Of the
whole canyon as mining claims.
Cravens claims that with his
partners he was prospecting for
copper, and after having struck.
a vein showing copper, followed
| it for several feet. About four
feet beneath the surface, sew
eral gold nuggets were picked
Iup. The larger of these was,
according to Mr.. Cravens, the
size of the end of ones thumb.
Quartz bearing wire gold and
some free gold was also found.
AS the work continued, the
vein containing the copper be-
came weaker, and later disap-
peared entirely, while that with
the gold became thicker. Sew
-eral tons Of the quartz has been
taken out and is now ON the
dump, containing more or less
gold.
Some of the specimens were
at once sent to an assayer for
analysis. The returns are ex-
pected at any time, and if re-
ceived in time will be added be-
low.
Mr.. Cravens, who has had
quite a little experience in the
Colorado gold fields, is sufficient
" satisfied with his strike to
continue the work, and will
make a thorough examination.
The copper ore which he had
assayed carried a large per
cent. Of copper, and had the
lead continued as strong as when
first encountered, been paying

BONE BROKEN
IN 3 PLACES
Albert May, Kicked by Horse
Sustains Triple
Fracture

Albert May had a narrow es-
cape on last Sunday from losing
his life. AS it is he will be
confined to his room for some
time, suffering a fracture of
the lawer jaw. In company with
Mr.. Millenbaugh, he was driv-
ing southwest of Estancia. The
team became frightened, and
started to run. In attempting
to control them, he turned them
into a wire fence, the neck yoke
striking a post. Millenbaugh
Jumped out and was unharmed.
May was thrown between the
horses, one of which began
kicking, striking him in the
face. Almost all the clothes
were torn from his body. After
having been brought to town,
the surgeons found the jaw bone
to have been fractured in three
places. The fractures were re-
duced, and he has been resting
we'll since. He is rejoicing that
he came out of the fracas as
luckily as he did, for while it is
serious, it is a miracle lat he
was not killed outright.
May came to the valley from
Neoga, Illinois, where his
mother is now residing She
has been notified of the accident,
as well as of his present condi-
ton. He is a member of the

Brings in Maniac.

Lucas Zamora, demented
sheepherder, formerly in the
employ of Mr.. Mcdonald on
his sheep ranch near Duran,
was brought to Estancia by
Deputy Sheriff Dulany this
week, and placed in the county
Jail, until orders can be received
from the district court, commit
ting him to the asylum at Las
Vegas.
A report was out yesterday
morning that he had escaped,
but this proved to be erroneous.
When Sheriff Meyer, opened the
door to the room, where the
maniac was kept during the
night, he found the fellow stark
naked. He tried to get him to
dress, and started to assist him,
when the fellow grabbed the
sheriff in his arms, hugging
him intensely, and attempting to
sink his teeth in the sheriff's
arm. With the assistance of
Deputy Smith, the sheriff freed
himself without further damage
than the hug. Meyer doesn't
object so much to being hugged,
but would rather choose the one
to do the job.

That Betampered Juru

The squiblet picked up last
week by the Ell Paso Herald and
subsequently spread before the
public by various papers OF New
Mexico regarding the jury dis
missed by Judge Mann, might
have been of greater interest to
the people, but said squiblet did
not tell it all.
In justice to the twenty-three
dismissed jurors, the voters and
the taxpayers, let it be said that
along with the twentyfour
grandjurors, witnesses and others
summoned to appear at the open
ing of the May term of the U. S..
District court at Alamogordo,
were also summoned twenty -four
petit jurors to appear on same
date. 1t came to pass that from
day to day there was not one
thing for the petit jurors to do
but for each to go his own way
for amusement or anything to
pass time. This continued for a
week and then came the order of
dismissal. All such gush as Sc
cfet service men and their dis
coveries regarding bribed Jurors
may or may not have been, the
writer and his crowd entertained
no strangers.
The interesting party for the
taxpayers, but left out of the
aforesaid squiblet, is that this
single item of petit jury expense
on the district, at a conservative
estimate, will amount to $12,- !
10000, perhaps more, and not
one cents value to balance. Mr..
Taxpayer this is one instance of
extravagant and useless expense. !
Look to the cause. Can you
help yourself at the next primar-
les and on election day? Wei
believe in good government and
properly paid officials, but care
less expenses, CRAFTS, and SINH
lar drains should be stopped.
