That friends next plunge raised the
odds against Miller 20 to 1.
On the particular night i'm question,
various and numerous were the ex-

PROSECUTIONS FOR
FLOODERS OF ROADS

Las Cruces. n. NJ June 5.-Since the
first cutting of alfalfa has been taken
off the ground irrigation has again
started and nearly every road in this
section of the valley, and especially
those leading into Las Cruces from
the north, have been flooded from the
adjacent fields. In almost every in
stance of this kind the flooding has
been the result Of carelessness.
L. z. Ruhle has spent considerable
time and labor on the road running to
his ranch from the Alameda boulevard.
He has improved the road for a dis
tance of two miles so that it is one of
the best in the valley, but the people
are flooding it and running all the
work which he has done. Mr.. Ruhle
has decided to make complaint against
every farmer who allows the water to
get onto the road. He made one COM
plant before a justice of the peace
Saturday, but that officer refused to
take congnizance Of it, claiming that
il was outside his jurisdiction. The
matter has now been taken up with
the district attorney and Mr. Ruhle
expects to get results,

had an equal chance for sustenance
and moderate accumulation, the larger
