ANOTHER CITI-
ZEN COMES
To SUMTER.
Recent Purchaser is Highly
Pleased.
VIII Use Every Effort to Bring Others
to This SeCtiOn---NeW York Man
viii Sell Out Interests and Come
to Sumter For Location.

Mr.. F. D. Mitchell, who recently
bought the Josey peach farm and
moved here from Bluefield, West Vir-
g!nia, is so pleased with Sumter coun-
ty and so thoroughly satisfied that It
IS a desirable place for residence ana
farm ing operations, that he is bring
Ing its virtues to the attention Of all
lis OLD acquaintances, with the view
of laducing some of them to locate
here also.
One friend in New York state, who
Is a miller there, has been served with
copies of the pamphlets issued by the
Board of Trade and also copies Of
the TimeslRecorder, until his enthus-
iasm has become as great as that of
Mr.. Mitchell, and in letter received
this week he announces his intention
of disposing of his Northern property
and coming to Sumter for a location.
He feels that in this climate, under
the progressive conditions existing
here, there is more opportunity and
more satisfaction to be had in living.
Mr.. Mitchell intends keeping up
the work of acquainting everyone he
knows with what is offered them here
and through this instrumentality 9TH
ers may be brought to Sumter.
Another party who has incessantly
advertised Sumter county wherever
he has gone has been Mr.. Britton, the
soil expert, who made up the soil
may of Sumter county. Mr.. Britton
sent lists of names from the West to
the Board of Trade and everywhere
talked up this section as the best for
prospective settlers.
If the old citizens of Sumter would
show as much interest as these two
men have done in this way the fame
Of Sumter would be vastly wider
spread than it is.

CHARLES ". WHITES TRIAL
IS NOW IN PROGRESS
The Indictment Alleges the Murder of
Pedro Aguilar
Three Venires of Eighty Men Necessary to
Complete the Jury

The trial of Charles W. White,
under an indictment alleging
murder, has been in progress
since Friday morning. The kill
ing for which White is being
tried occurred in Pedro Aguilars
saloon at Tularosa in the latter
part of November. In the fight
which occurred in the saloon.
Pedro Aguilar received wounds
from which he died within a
short while, and White also was
wounded twice, once in the hand
and a slight wound in the left
breast, just over the heart. The
bullet which inflicted the latter
wound seemed to have spent its
force in the heavy clothing which
White was wearing, and hardly
penetrated the skin.
Aguilar was one of the most
widely known and highly re-
spected Mexican citizens in the
county. White was a deputy
sheriff at the time of the killing
and vas also we'll known. On
account of the fact that both
men were so we'll known, and so
much publicity was given to the
affair at the time, it was q diff
cult matter to secure twelve men
who could qualify to serve on
the jury. Only four jurors were
accepted from the regular panel
of "a. Friday afternoon a special
venire of fifty was drawn. Of
this number thirty reported and
were examined Monday, with
the result that seven qualified
for service. A second special
venire of six was then drawn,

Mr.. Beach to serve in his stead.
An agreement was entered
into between the club committee
and ID. NJ. Barringer Jr. Under
this agreement Mr.. Barringer is
to put on garbage or refuse
wagon to be employed six days
IN every week. The scale of
charges to be made is as follows {:
Business houses, LOO a month !:
residences of four rooms or more,
fifty cents; residences of less
than four rooms, twenty five
cents. The garbage and refuse
will be hauled out beyond the
town limits twice a month. The
contractor does not agree to col
lect refuse or trash which is
scattered over yards or premises,
but will haul away all that is
collected into some receptacle
used for that purpose.
The contractor agrees further,
that in consideration of the sup
port received from the club, and
from other business interests, to
keep the streets and alleys of
the town cleaned. He has al
ready had a wagon at work in
the downtown district, and sew
eral blocks of Pennsylvania aud
New York avenues and 9th and
10th streets present q greatly
improved appearance.
Many Of the business men have
already signed the agreement to
cover the removal of trash and
refuse from both business houses
and residence. To Judge by the
energy which Mr.. Barringer is
putting into the work, and the
interest which the business men
are displaying, this will be the
best and most effective cleaning

started in Alamogordo

the only child born to a Colorado
regiment during the Spanish
American war is about the proud

hibiting an enormous gourd two
years old with the names of all
the distinguished guests at the

their own handwriting across it.
The father of the lad brought
it to the Roosevelt banquet
Monday night and the notables
present gladly inscribed their
names to show their appreciation
of the heroism of the boys faith
er and grandfather as we'll. The
latter was a volunteer in the

pIetes Arrangements
o. M. earringey Jr. Enters Into Agreement With
the Club Committee

The insistent agitation for a
clean town has begun to materi-
alize in the form of concrete re-
suits. The public improvements
committee of the Civic League
has had several conferences with
Frank W. Beach, general mana
ger Of the Alamogordo Improve
ment Co., with reference to the
making of contract to clean up
all the vacant lots in the town Of
Alamogordo. That was the be-
ginning of the movement which
is now resulting in the making
Of definite arrangements to clean
the town, and then to keep it
clean.
The matter was brought up
and discussed in several open
meetings of the Alamo Business
Mems Club. Many members of
the club displayed an interest
in the matter and took part in
the discussions. At the meet
ing held Tuesday night of last
week, President Evans appoint
ed w. q. Roe, Chas. +. Prince
and ID. NJ. Barringer Jr., as a
committee of three to look into
the situation thoroughly, and
determine what arrangements
might be made To- have the town
cleaned and kept clean. Mr.
Barringer requested to be reliev-

for the reason that he had a plan
to submit to the committee and
desired to make a bid on the
work. President Evans excused

Valiant Lads of Company II"
Hike for California
NUMBER REDUCED TO
TWENTY ONE MEN

Company Il" of the New Mex
leo National Guard will attend
the encampment at Atascadero,
California, but the number of
men to he allowed to go has been
greatly reduced. Some time
ago it was thought that this
company would be allowed to
carry its full strength, but since
that time the allowance for each
company has been materially re-
duced. The total allowance for
New Mexico will be eight COM
panies of forty one each, and the
field battery of fifty five men
from Roswell.
The company will be assem- mbled
here at the armory at six o'clock
Thursday morning, and board the
10 go a. M. train for Vaughn, to
connect with the special train
over the Santa Fe. Company II"
of twenty one men will be con-
solidated at Vaughn with the
company from Clovis, nineteen
men under the command of 1st
Lieutenant Love, who will act as
second lieutenant of the consoli-
dated company. The special
train will leave Vaughn at 5 30
p. m, arriving at Albuquerque
about midnight. Early Friday
morning the troops will be re-
viewed at Albuquerque by Gov
ernor Mills. The special train
will leave Albuquerque at IL 90
q. m. for Atascadero.
The following will be the
members who will attend: T. j.

and the first one examined from
this venire was accepted.
The jury selected is composed
entirely Of English speaking
men. 1t is one Of the very few
all English speaking juries which
this county has had. Working
without the aid of an interpreter
will greatly expedite the pro-
gress of the trial. 1t is estimat-
ed now that the cost of the trial
will be in excess of two thousand
dollars.
The territory is being repre-
sented by the district attorney,
Major W. II. H. Llewellyn, as
sisted by II. B. Hamilton, of
Captain. The defense is being
conducted by j. E. Wharton. A
great many witnesses will be
used by both parties to the case.
AS this report is written, We'd
ncsday evening, the examination
of witnesses has not nearly been
concluded. 1t is thought now
that possibly the arguments may
be commenced Thursday night.
The trial jury is composed of
the following men:
N. G. Daugherty, Avis,
VIM. Brantley, Cloudcroft,
John Waldrip, Mt. Park,
d. W. Burney, Alamogordo,
II. Fl. Harrington, Cloudcroft.

which the court said would be
referred to the proper officers
and would receive prompt and
careful consideration.
This session was a most import
ant one by reason of the very
serious character of many offenses
to be. Investigated, The work
was gone into thoroughly, fairly
and impartially, and by this
class Of work the members OF

NATIONALS CHANGED

SOME VALUABLE TIM
Der ELIMINATED

The President has signed proc
lamations which eliminate from
the Jemez National Forest
12S, T46 acres, and add TO it
20,SSO acres and to the Carson
National Forest 1000 acres.
These changes are the result
Of q careful field examination
made by the U. 5. Department
of Agriculture last summer, to
learn where the Forest bound
aries included land that should
be restored to the open public
domain, or excluded land that
should have been taken in. The
land eliminated is at the south
west corner of the Jemez. 1t in
cludes the settlements of La Jara
and Cuba and practically all of
the agricultural lands in the Pu-
ERGO Valley, with all of the Mesa
POrtales and most of the Vale
Ohiguile and the Vale San Ysi-
dro.
There is estimated to be on
the elimination 5000, 900 feet of
yellow pine and several thousand
cords of pinon and cedar, but
the forest growth is so scattered
and interspersed with such large
areas of open grass land that it
is thought inadvisable to hold it.
The addition to the Jemez is
at the extreme northwest corner
