They found Miss Marsh in a chat

the privilege of presenting his friend,
Mr.. Seymour. Miss Marsh smiled and
showed a row Of dimples.

drive through the valley, and ex-
pressed himself in the most

have reclaimed about twenty
thousand acres of land east of
Trinidad, which few years ago,
had a more forsaken and no-ac-
count appearance than the worst
acre in the Estancia Valley. Mr.
Stone has moved his family to
Albuquerque, andswhile that will
be his headquarters, he will be
found boosting for New Mexico
as a whole, and every part in
particular.

1t was a happy looking bunch
of federals who marched through
the lines of insurrectos to become
prisoners.

shouted as they put down their
rifles, smiled, laughed and almost
jumped for joy.
They left 40 dead and wounded
comrades inside the barracks
when they marched out to sur
render.
The surrender of Gen, Navarro
was made to Gen. B. ]. Viljoen,
of Chamberino, N. NJ, military
advisor to Madero. ViIjoen was

only there as a military adviser
and says that Col. Garibaldi had
command of the troops to. whom
the surrender took place, but was
not present when Navarro came
out and gave up the town.
Col. Pueblito declares that Col.

federals, met his death by being
shot through the head. He says
the colonel was in command of
his troops. even after he had
been wounded, and, sticking MS
head around the corner of a build
ing, received a bullet that ended
his career. With both Pueblito
and Tamborel gone, the federals

Ell Paso, May 10.-A complete
surrender Of the federal forces
in Juarez took place today short
ly after twelve O'Clock. The
hoisting Of the white flag by
the federals was the signal for
general rejoicing on the part of
the people, who joined with the
revolutionists, all glad that the
fighting was over so far as Juarez
was concerned. A most terrific
battle had ragged for two days,
At this time it is impossible to
give any accurate report as to the
number of dead and wounded,
but the loss has been terrible.
Every physician possible is CIV
ing all the aid in his power to the
wounded.
At the hosting Of the white
flag, the flag Of the rebels was
Immediately flung to the breeze.
Church bells were rung and a
general celebration at once took
place. The bilarity caused by
the ending Of the battle was
heard throughout Ell Paso. The
capture of Juarez was practically
completed at IL O'Clock this
morning. General Navarro held
out until the very last. His COM
ment was that he did not think
the rebels could take the city so
easily.
The dead and wounded, many
fatally, are to be found every

Prohibition PduS
in Dollars and Gents

That Prohibition pays in act
ual dollars and cents is proven by
the experience of Roswell as it
has been proven hundreds of
times before. When the Pro-
hibition law went into effect,
the new city council inherited a
debt of $1,000 from the old
council. With the $4,000 of
saloon licenses cut off, it looked
blue. The following report Of
the chairman of the finance COM
mittee of the council shows that
the city is not bankrupt as a re-
suit of doing away with the
booze emporia:
This administration inherited
a debt of over $1,000 It has ex-
pended a bout $4,000 for teams,
sprinklers, plows, ETC., and
will be able to meet all in
debtedness by August Is, if the
revenue due the city is colIec-
ed by that time. After figuring
the revenue at the minimum and
the expenses at the maximum,
we find that the levy of the
general fund can be reduced two
mills, which means a saving of
about So, 500 to the taxpayers of
the city,"

RECORD
TELLS OF
ROTTENNESS

The Willard Record uses quite
a bit of space in explaining the
Rottenness in regard to the
publishing Of the delinquent tax
list of Torrance county. But it
is in error in a few minor de-
tails. In the first place the cost
of publishing the list is not $225
but $623.81. This amount has not
as yet been paid bv the commits
sioners, but the bill has been
approved to be paid at a later
meeting. Had bids been called
for as the district attorney advis
ed the saving to the tax payers
would have been much more than
the hundred dollars.
At the time of the publication
Of the list in Engliah those in
authority claimed that the dis
trict attorney had ruled that it
was not necessary to publish the
same in Spanish. Now that they
think they have the Spanish
printing in the family" they
have"seen a great light, and have
another ruling from the district
attorney. What we can'tunder-
stand is, if the district attorney |
ruled, as.they claimed he did,
why did not the sale take place?
Why was there any need to get
another ruling? With the district
attorneys opinion back OF them
those in authority would have
been safe in going ahead with
the sale.
It is also worthy of note that
the claims of the Herald that they
will print the list in Spanish for
43 per cent. discount is just one
per cent, less than the bid Of the
Record submitted at last Jan
uary' meeting. Why should the
bid be put.lower than that # the
Record, if no bidding is necessary
as is claimed?
The taxpayers may yet save
themselves some money, by tax
ing a hand in the matter, and
this is being discussed at this
time.
