DEN vER-EL PASO
PHONE SERVICE
Tests Show Line Is in Good
Working Order; Open for|
Commercial Use in Near
Future,

The Colorado telephone officials,
expected in Albuquerque this week
have tested the line from FL Paso to
Denver with satisfactory results. An
FL Paso paper says:
Messages were sent over the lines
OF the Tri-state Telephone company
El Paso to Denver Saturday morning
and the line Is In good working order,
though these were simply what are
known as conversations and the line
has not been opened for commercial
purposes.
Philip Hamlin, vice president of the
company, says hat 1t will require
some time before the line a be actu-
ally opened for commercial purposes,
though already messages have been
accepted Under protest for delivery.

THE purpose Of our visit is mere
ly to inspect the lines from FL Paso
TO Tucson said Mr.. Hamlin. Satur-
day morning. This is MIR. Fields first
visit since we acquired the lines and
he wants TO become acquainted with
conditions, We are working on our
line TO Tucson and viii visit there. 1t
will be GONE time before the line all
the way TO the coast is completed, as
there is a large gap to be filled by
the California company to connect
with our line at Tucson.
VI have no plans for any especial
improvements in FL Paso at the pres
ent time, though we are completing
our line to Government Hin.
We will leave for Tucson Sunday

ROSWELL WORKED
Up OVER MAIL
QUESTION
Practically Days Delay
in Business Correspondence
and Protest Is General and
Vehement.

THE stoppage of the Roswell
Vaughn automobile mail service is a
blow not only to Roswell and that
part OF the Pecos valley. but to the
business interests OF the Rio Grande
valley as WE'LL said a we'll known
Albuquerque man yesterday who has
recently returned from Roswell.
with the auto service. all western
and eastern mail reaches Roswell
about 1.45 y. m. and by > p. m. the
newsboys, for instance, are selling the
Morning Journal on the street and
business men get their mail in time
for their answers to go out early the
next morning. Now, with the aboli-
ton Of the buzz wager service, mail
comes in on the train due about ) ..
M, but usually an hour or two late,
so that the newspapers are not avail
able until after supper and business
mail cannot be attended 70 until the
next day. AS there is only one mai
in and out daily, replies cannot get
out until the second morning follow
ing, or just twenty-four hours later
than when mail anne in on the auto
mobile. The people of the Pecos val
ley are very much wrought up over
the matter and believe that while
economy in the postal service is a
desirable thing, this is too much of a
sacrifice for the few dollars it may
possibly save the department. 1t
practically puts the central Rio
Grands valley and this part of New
Mexico In general t~wenty-fouT hours
farther away from Roswell as far as
business relations are concerned. If
there is anything important nowadays
it is to get the interests of these two
great valleys closer united. Roswell
and Albuquerque are the business
centers of these wv sections and It is
a hardship on business men here who
have relations with those OF the
Pecos. The protest is so general and
so strong that / think surely the post
office department will reconsider an
action which is generally regarded as
hasty and i~ll-advised, a case OF penny
wise and pound foolish"

ONLY THEORY Of
SHOOTING
Brother of Norman Mayo In
able to Understand Cause of
Tragedy Which Resulted in
Death of Brother Funeral
Wednesday.

That the dog in the wagon man
aged TO pull the trigger which fired
the charge of a shotgun into his
brothers breast IS the only e%xplana-
ton which Glover Mayo, brother of
the young man Killed near Los
Griegos. Saturday night, can offer for
the tragedy. The brother Is the more
mystified because Norman Mayo. af-
ter a narrow escape from accident
ally shooting his brother some years
ago, was extremely careful in hand
ling a gun.

the boys were on foot. Glover asked
Norman about the state of his gun
and the latter replied that he was
taking extra care in carrying 1t. Il
| haven't forgotten how I came near to
shooting you that time said Nor
man. And only a short time after
ward the fatal accident occurred.
"A short time previous" said
Glover Mayo, W were oEer at the
Gillenwater pond and my brother
took several shots at a duck. He
must have reloaded his gun then be-
fore we started back to the wagon.
A mile and a half beyond Los
Griegos we decided to put the dog in
the wagon, j think my brother must
have had the gun leaning against his
knee, muzzle upward, and that the
dog jumped up and got a foot on the
hammer just long enough to push II
back and let it fly. | was on the
front seat of the wagon and Norman
on the rear seat with the dog in
front of him.

and l don't see how else the accident
could have occurred. John Solomon,
~ xfv4n~ anl 1 IrvauF nFhITa until
the deafening report sounded at our
backs, the recoil knocking the shot
gun clear out of the wagon. Norman
fell over against the end of the seat
and we hardly realized how badly he
was hurt, although his breathing was
hoarse and labored. We got him out
and into a house nearby as soon as
possible, but he lived only a few min
utes. Norman had hunted a lot and
had learned to be very careful with
firearms and | cannot understand
how this thing happened unless the
dog was responsible
The shotgun was a ten-gauge
weapon with shells loaded with BIB
shot. and, al such close range, it
would have been almost impossible
for the wound to be anything but
fatal.
The brother is badly broken up
over the tragedy and the shock of the
accident, but it was evidently n or

nothing was to blame but chance.
