GOODNIGHT
ROBBERY
REPORTED

Robbery Of the Goodnight station on
the Eastern Oklahoma division of the
Santa Fe railway was reported today.
Little Is known of the affair. Good
night is small station near the
Payne county line. The agent Is a
boy named Bartholomew.
The thieves were evidently unso-
phisticated in railroad matters, for
they took all the tickets as well as
the money. The money in the station
amounted to about IS. The tickets
represented a potential value of about
1000, but are, of course, worthless un-
der the circumstances. They are all
numbered and will prove valueless
when presented on any train.
Young Bartholomew sent in word
this morning that his entire stock OF
tickets was gone, and a supply was
sent from here. He had no clue as 10
the identity of the thieves. The sta
tion was broken into through a win
dow.

Speaks his Mind Without any Trace OF
Fear
Declares Damage Suits are Simply Another
Advertising Scheme

Louisville, Ky.,-Under the
title, LET the Called Jade
Vince" Henry Watterson writes
as follows in the Courier Journal
1T appears that Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst, having worn
out the expedient of running for
office as a method Of advertising,
has, toward the further exploita-
tion Of his business, dropped into
litigation, wholesale, and timer
ant. Within the past week he
has instituted a libel suit for
5000 against the Associated
Press as an organization and a
series of libel suits for 100000
each against certain of his news
paper contemporaries as specified
offenders.
Among these latter are in
cluded the Louisville Courier
Journal and it colleague, the
Louisville Evening Times.
THE editor of the Courier
Journal is signalized by a sepa-
rate and individual action for
100000 of alleged damages.
Mr.. Hearst's complaint embraces
the publication of matter that
concurrently appeared in MIR.
Hearst's own papers, but accom-.
panied with editorial comment
which, differing from that usual
ly supplied by Mr.. Hearst's en-
ployes, was critical rather than
complimentary.
1T is given out that Mr.
Hearst will personally come to
Kentucky to direct and conduct
the suits against Us. We sincere

be true. In that event, We shall

ing. If he will agree to take the
stand and answer under oath GER
tain interrogatives which the at
torney of the Courier Journal is
prepared to ask him. not only
will this interest be augmented ,
but, in advance, the Courier
Journal company will agree to
pay double the amount of what
ever judgment he may obtain.
Touching his action against
the editor of the Courier Journal, ,
Mr.. Watterson has merely to say
that he will always consider him.
self as increasing IN honor the
further he diverges from Mr..
Hearst. Having for years pur-
sued Mr.. Watterson with pre-
posterous and offensive money
offers, Mr.. Hearst adopts the
rather novel revenge of accusing
him before a court of law with
that which he would not dare to
utter face to face and man to
man.
"Mr. Watterson is nearing the
close of a long and active life
without ever having been per-
sonally party to any litigation,
to any kind of suit or action at
law, and whilst MIR. Hearst's
proceedings may annoy, it can in
no wise injure or embarrass him.
"Mr. Watterson has always
understood that he who goes to
law must come into court with
clean hands, and he will insist
that Mr.. Hearst shall, upon the
threshold of these present ac-
tions, be compelled to meet this
requirement"

much we would like to have that
shop plant, the fact still remains
that Alamogordo is not the logical
place for il. To maintain the
shop here would entail the unne-
cessary expenditure Of thousands
Of dollars every year. Railroads

BAPTIST COLLEGE WILL
SOON CLOSE
Students are Preparing for Final
Examinations
Special Correspondence Shows Much In
terest in Next Session

Several visitors favored the
college with their presence this
week.
Prof. Chapman, of Carrizozo,
spent season with us and made
a very pleasing impression on
students and teachers.
Examinations are making some
of us wonder where we are going
to stand when school closes.
We all realize that the years
work has been profitable and the
improvement We have made is
worth to us much more than the
cost.
Mr.. Booth, father of Mrs. Oliver,
cOnduted opening exercises one
day this week and gave us new
ideas.
1t is reported in college circles
that an heir to the presidency of
the New Mexico Baptist College
appeared and made known its
demands this week.
1t is reported that the trustees
recently held a meeting and
elected President Morgan, Miss
Holmes and Miss Nichols. Prof.
Hayes place was left open for
the present.
While we will be glad to get
home for vacation, there will be
some tears shed when the parting
comes.
The pictures on the walls add
much to the appearance of the
rooms.
Mr.. Samuel Holmes gave us a
short talk Thursday morning.
He has recently spent several
days in the mountains and reports
that the people feel very kindly
toward the college, and that
many young people expressed a
desire to attend in the near
future.
We must soon bid goodbye to
friends, teachers and fellow
students for while. 1t is hoped
that we shall be back again and
be able to bring others with us.
We will all carry with us the
earnest wish for success and long
life to our dear alma mater.
1t is reported that one of our
professors, during vacation, will
be enrolled with one who will be
to him both student and teacher
during life. With other good
wishes for his future welfare, we
hope the knotty questions Of life
will be unraveled as gracefully,
pleasantly and agreeably as they
have been in his class room.
To students, host and hostess,
we bid goodbye till we meet
again.
