The sheriff swore. "I'll save

When three hundred yards sep

changed his tactics. He began to
run forward, stumbling and slip
ping over the stones, lodging
from side to side of the canyon.
The sheriff advanced leisurely. In
spite of his GOODNESS of demeanor
his heart beat rapidly and every
thought was concentrated on the
man in front of him. He fitted
the last cartridge into his rifle.
Then he walked forward. Now

knife CLEAN in the outlaws hand.
When but fifty yards separated
the two men the outlaws demean-

drew himself up and stood stock

yards the sheriff halted and cover

nearer; but he knew he could not

fugitive.

outlaws body, drew a fine bead,
and fired. The outlaw tottered
and collapsed upon the ground.

THE DUEL IN THE GORGE

The sheriff smiled exultantly as
he rode down into the gorge. He
knew the country better even than
the outlaw. He knew that the val
ley narrowed till the fertile fields
were left behind, tapering off into
a narrow canyon, not 10 yards in
diameter, and terminated in an alb
rupt and unscalable wall of rock.
Thus he had the outlaw at his
mercy.
He knew that the fugitive had
thrown away his rifle in his mad
rush for liberty; that he had moth
ing but his knife. And he was the
crack shot of the state. So he had
reason to smile as he rode down
the trail alone, when, turning the

FIGHT ON FOR

Texico and Clovis Are Both

TExICo STRONG IN 1T

Clovis, N. NJ, April 2O.-The active
campaign for the permanent county
seat of Curry county opened at Black.

Clovis people, and it is predicted that
from now until the day Oh the elec.
tion, which will be on April 80, Curry
county will be the scene of one Of
the warmest campaigns that she has
ever experienced. BY the act of the
Legislature creating from portions Of
Quay and Roosevelt, the new county
Of Curry, il was provided that within
year an election should be called
to allow the people of the county TO
vote for their choice for the perma.
nent county seat, and Clovis was named
at the time, as the temporary seat of
the new county which bears the ex.
governor y name. Last week, there

the purpose of selecting from the mum.

Texico was selected as the place by
a narrow margin. However, some of the
pricincts represented, felt that n square
deal was not afforded them and have
bolted the work of this very unique con.
vention. They will divide their sup.
port with Clovis and the center of the

ent situation is that Clovis will have

seems to be but little question as to
the likelihood of Clovis winning the
race, but il is known that there is some

dcrful changes in the value of Comanche
county lands, from one and three to
ten dollars an acre ten years ago, when
it was dry here, to fifteen, twenty-five
and fifty dollars per acre, as u 's today,
couldn I but realize how the seasons
are changing with the breaking up Of
the sod, and that some day this would
be the case in New Mexico. Today in
Comanche county the man who has the
independence which comes with com.
paiative wealth, is the man who has
kept his land all through the hard, dry
times, and now it is of value.
If you have land keep It; If you have
town lots, keep them; some day they
will be worth something to you, just as
the eight dollar land Of ten years ago
is worth something to the man who has
"held on" until today, when it can be
sold for forty dollars. With many
pleasant thoughts of my stay in Tucum.
