Albuquerque Fair

The 30th Annual New Mexico fair and resources exposition is now under way with a dash and swing, and the indications are that the days of the fair, from Oct. 3, to 8, will be crammed full of inter. esting events. Attractions are being contracted for daily; requests for reservations of space in the ex- hibit halls are many and every thing points to the most successful fair in the history of New Mexico. The baseball tournament is to be one of the big features of the fair, and baseball fans are assured that they will see some splendid exhibi- tions of the national sport. A number of teams will be in the race for the money and all of them will have some favorite players from the different leagues to assist them in the direction of first place, Parker's Carnival company, with fifteen big and attractive shows will be one of the popular places with the fair visitors. The Parker people have a splendid aggregation of attractions, and altogether have a clean cut line of entertainment. The livestock show, the dog show, and the poultry show are all re- ceiving their share of attention at Hair headquarters, and all of them will be in perfect alignment for the opening day.

SHOOTING AFFRAYS
 AT ASH FORK

A shooting affray occurred at Ash Fork last Friday in which a. Mexican named Francisco Basquezj was shot five times by Enriques Barajos. The two men quarreled oyer the affections of a fair but fickle senorita, and so intense were they in their ardor for the winning of the senorita. that they both met on the woman's threshold at the same time, and the collision fol. lowed.
 There was little ceremony after the two men met, and while in the room Baraios whipped out a 45 colts and emptied every shot into the body of Basquez. So close to the latter's body was the weapon. that his clothes were ignited. The blaze was extinguished by the woman, later. Two bullets crashed through his chest, one went into the abdomen, one into his thigh and the other is in his shoulder blade. His escape from instant death is considered almost miracu- lous.
 Basquez was at once taken to the hospital at Prescott, where he died Monday evening. At last accounts Barajos had not been captured.
 Another shooting affray occurred Sunday evening at Ash Ferk. when a colored man used his six-shooter on a Mexican, but managed to make his escape into the foothills although the officers at once gave chase and fired a number of shots at the fleeing negro.
 We were unable to learn the particulars leading up to the shoot ing.

the more determined they would stay between the rails. The rail. road employees have taken the matter up with the officials to try and hayesa high board fence placed along the line of the company's land back of the section house and telegraph cars for hundred feet or more to keep these drunk men away from the track, and as the saloon is just about on the edge of this line it will compel them to use the back door of the saloon in. stead of the front door as now. The saloon keeper pays no atten ton whatever to these men after getting all their money. and the men run at large day and night making life miserable for everyone in Maine. The town not being an incorporated one, nothing can be done in the matter of the saloon or the objectionable houses in con- nection, all of which are but few rods in rear of the section house and telegraph cars. And to have one or two drunk men arrested for fighting doesn't remedy the matter much, as there would be twenty other drunk men to be arrested next day.

TERRITORIAL FAIR
 TO BE A HUMMER

Of all the varlous departments of the territorial fair to be held at Phoenix, Nov. 7th to 18th, 1910, there is none more attractive than the Educational department, which this year will be superintended by Mrs. w. w. McNeff, who is we'll known in educational circles over the territory. Special prizes to the amount of several hundred dollars have been donated by the educa- tional publication houses of the east, which will result in the e1. hibition of the best work of the various schools of Arizona. The premiums. however. have been so graded that small schools will have an equal showing with some of our more pretentious institutions. An enlarged space in the Exposition building has been reserved by the fair management for the educa- tional exhibit.
 Of all the events at past territo- rial fairs, none have aroused more interest in the grandstand than does the cowboy relay race. The territorial fair management has arranged to make this a feature of the approaching fair. which will be held at Phoenix Nov. 7th to 18th and have increased the cash purses from $500 to $75O. Teams from -Coconino county, Cochise county. Pinal county, Yavapai county and Maricopa county, are arranging to enter, and as the cash prize is so large, it is very likely that many more cowboy outfits will be in the races at the finish. Rules govern ing the contest and method of entry may be had by addressing the secretary of the Fair commis- sion, Phoenix, Ariz. These races will be run during fair week, g day intervening between each race. The money will be divided 60 per cent first, 25 per cent second, and Is per cent third.

SMALLPOX PATIENT
 KILLED BY LIGHTNING

On Friday afternoon of last week the smallpox patient quar- entined quarter of a mile south of Maine was struck by lightning and instantly killed. The nurse attending him was stunned and did not recover for a half hour enough to notify anyone, but at 3 p. m.. be called to several standing near the section house that the smallpox patient was killed and to wire for the county doctor, who reached here an hour later. It seems that the hospital tent was not injured in the least so the bolt must have passed in at the open door of the tent.
 There was only this one flash of lightning at 2:4O, nothing before or after, though after this one fiash it rained very hard for sometime hut 1t seem 80 strange to have only this one bolt during the storm and that to pick out smallpox patien, who was to be out of quarintine ir few days.
 MT. Ryder, the dead man, and the nurse attending him, were friends who had come west to find work in this section. Mr Ryder has wife and several children in Childersburg. Ala. His wife had been notified of her husbands ill. ness by Dr. Miller, and MT. Ryder received several letters from her before his death. Another letter arrived not an hour after be was killed The body was buried a short distance from where he was struck and the nurse left with Dr. Miller for Flagstaff the next day.
