ARTESIAN WATER Is
STRUCK AT CUERVO
Water Rises to Level of
the Surface But Does Not
Gush.

News was received here last Thursday
that Artesian water had been struck
at Cuervo, hfty miles southwest Of this
city. The arst reports were that when
the vein was tapped that the water
gushed forth forty feet into the air
The News beban an investigation and
after an exchange Of kilograms with
the Cuervo Clipper learned that the
well had been sunk and "a vein tapped.
The water did not gush, however, al.
though it did rise to the level Of the
ground.
Just how far the well In from CuervO
has not been learned and other partieu.
lars have not been obtained. The we'll
is two hundred and sixty feet deep il
In reported.
Artesian water at Cuervo, although
IL only reaches the surface should be u
great encouragement to the citizens of
Tucumeari who are contemplating deep
well proposition here.
The proposition of a deep well has
gained considerable interest this week
and may take definite shape here by
the middle of next week.

SMALL MISTAKE
COST TWO HUNDRED
Seven Days Are Lost and
Couple Thrown Into
Anxiety.
OPERATOR TT BLAME

An example Of how expensive a mis-
take or u prank sometimes Is was
brought to light here this week, when
Mrs. T. NJ. Perry, Of bisbee, was TAX
en- of the train here and kept for four
days. Mrs. Perry left Bisbee the lat
ter part Of last week and was ON her
way to Pennsylvania when she re
ceived u Telegram to the effect that her
husband was nck and to turn back
The shock was more than she could
stand and II was necessary for her to
stop OF here.
kilograms from local physicians soon
found that her husband was not sick,
aud notified him of her condition. lie
came ON the next train and ON arriv
ing here said that he had never tele
graphed his wife to turn back be-
cause he was sick.
lie said he had received telegram
from her stating that she was sick and
would probably be unable To make
the trip to Pennsylvania. II was then
he advised her to turn back but did
not say he was sick. Mrs Perry says
she never telegraphed ner husband
after leaving home.
A double mistake on the part Of
the operators seemed to have caused
the trouble. Mr. Perry was put back
seven days with his work and two hun
dred dollars on account of the slight
mistake. The first telegram may have
been for some one else, while the sec
ond one was the mistake OF AN oper'
ator.

a very deep interest In the unusual
drought conditions Of this year, which

treatment by the local press Uni.

No attempt whatever has been made
10 disguise the truth in the matter,
or to lead the outside world astray In
the matter, which is the only correct
course. Absolutely nothing Is to be
gained by the policy Of attempted con.
cealment, glOssment, or evasion. While
in all probability II will be years and
years before such conditions occur
again, they will recur, being the nat.
ural result Of natural conditions

Of dry years. The dry years them.

common sense In the treatment Of

proofs Of this in all Of the valley coun.

horses, went dashing through several

To the Citizens of Tucumcari and Quay County, New
Mexico.
A proposition has been made to the citizens OF
Quay County by the representatives OF large rail
way system to construct railroad from Tucumcari

GUILT NOT SHIFTED
BY BILLS OF SALE
Three Boys Bound Over to
District Court. Charge
Horse Stealing.
FIVE COLTS TAKE N

II man is guilty Of horse stealing
and obtains u bill Of sale from u dis.
interested party, the guilt and rsspon.
sibility Of the theft In not shifted
from the one who took the horses to
the other, was the opinion Of Justice
Patterson when called upon to settle
such an issue last Tuesday.
Three Mexican boys, Niebis Psdillo,
Becienta Martinez and Jose Montoya
were arranged in Justice Court ON
the charge Of stealing horses. g. y.
Coleord was the prosecuting witness
and claimed that eight Of his colts had
been stolen and that Ave had been
found In the possession Of the three
boys. When found the colts carried
the Martinez brand. The lads swore
that they had obtained the colts from
the Martinez herd and after most OF
the prosecuting testimony had been
heard, the defendants were presented
with bin Of sale from Martinez, the
father Of one Of the boys.
Attorney for the defense attempted
TO show that IL any one was guilty
{, was Mr.. Martinez aad that IL the
horses had been stolen he was the
guilty party since he had taken all
responsibility. Attorney for the pro
secution ridieuled the argument and
proved that the unbranded colts had
been stolen from the range aud brand
ed with the Martinez brand. Mr.
Colcord claims the horses were stolen
from his ranch five miles south Of
town and taken fifteen miles away
lie could identify them he said al
though they had been branded sine,
he last saw them.
The ease occupied several hours and
many witnesses were introduced on
both sides. The defendants were
bound over to the grand jury undel
four hundred dollar bond each.
