WOMAN TRIED THE
LAUDANUM ROUTE
INMATE OF LOCAL RESORT WAS
WALKED BACK TO LIFE BY
QUINTETTE OF CITIZENS

| A woman known to the world as
pauline" and an inmate of resort OF
this city, tried the laudanum route
Friday evening and came very near
crossing the Silk. But for the services
of a quintette of well known white
men, who happened to be in the imme-
date vicinity at the time of the near
tragedy, old Claron would have got
the job of rowing another one over.
When found the woman was on the
banks of Duck river, where 1t Is claim
ed that she had either wandered In
her delirium or had gone for the pur-
pose of taking a fatal plunge. Five
white men who happened to be nearby
and who said that they were going
the "first aid to the injured" stunt,
were impressed by City Marshal Nor
gan to walk the woman back to life
and to prevent her from lapsing into
the sleep of death. Two at time,
they manned her arms and paraded
her back and forth the length of the
garishly lighted room. When the per-
SEPARATION ctood out like beads from
their foreheads relief squad was put
on and they we're given rest. AT ev-
cry intermission they asked to be ex-
cused, but the officers held them TO
their task Stories of being locked
out and of pressing engagements did
not suffice to accomplish their exit.
and more than one is said to have ex-
pressed the fear that his name would
get into the headlines. After an hours
exercise the woman was pronounced
out OF danger. In the waking-up pro-
cess some of the inmates Of the place
we're permitted to whip the woman
with towels, and as some of them had
a personal grudge against her. they
are said to have gladly Joined the tenn
porary hospital corps.

Alex. A. Smith. wealthy planter
of Shreveport, La, who has just
located among us, is a sure-enough
live one. He thoroughly investi.
gated conditions in the Pecos, Toyah
and Messila valleys and 1t took him
only brief time to decide that the
Mimbres Valley is superior to any
of the others. He also investigated
conditions in southwest Texas and
decided that we have them beaten
a thousand ways. Mr.. Smith is
perfectly satisfied to make Deming
his home, as he is wise enough to
see our marvellous possibilities and
easy development. For the present
Mr.. Smith has associated himself
with our old reliable real estate
firm of Sangre and Baker; and is
going to bring some good farmers
into this garden spot of New Mexico.
