Il sent deputies Ford and Hutton TO
observe the contest in order to ascer-
tain whether or not it was a prize
fight After they left, a statement in a
local newspaper, being an interview
with Wolgast, was brought to my at
tetnion, which showed conclusively that
the contest was a prize fight Accord
ingly I telephoned Mr.. Ford to inform
the managers that I believed this was
a prize fight, and that I would have
them arrested If they went on with
it. After some parleying, they decided
that they would hold the contest, and
maintained that the Wolgast statement
was not correct and unauthorized

GOLDENBERG DAM
BEING REINFORCED

Tucumcari, n. NJ, March 1S.-Men are
at work reinforcing the retention dam
at the Goldenberg irrigated farm two
miles northeast of town a lake of
water 200 yards square is now behind
the dam and it is feared with the
spring rains, the pressure will be too
great for the present dam. Water is
being allowed to flow daily on the 60
acres under the dam and there is every
prospect of some excellent crops of al
falfa, which is being sowed- It is the
intention of the owners TO build a
larger dam this fall adjoining the pres
ent one on the north, from which nearly
500 acres may be irrigated.
An effort is being made to have the
mayor and city council permit the open
ing of Sunday club in Tucumcari, in
order to give some place of entertain
ment to those visiting the city. A pc
tition is being circulated for signers.
1t is said that an agent is now in Ell
Paso negotiating for Tucumcari par
ties in regard to the establishment here
of bear grass fibre plant TO prepare
fibre for shipment to other points. thus
saving freight. 1t was at first intended
TO manufacture the product in this city
but this will not be done in the begin
ming at least.

Cherryola Throws Jockey

strong lead and was never in doubt
about the finish from the first. Mead

Meadow was given 1S7 pounds to car
~ and was also tired out at the post
before getting away Cherryola cut
up at the post, throwing her ockey and
was good for only a fair race after
the excitement at the post
Meadow was expected to win this
race, but was carrying too much
weight and could get no nearer than
two lengths and was beaten all the
way around. Cherryola's performance
was a disappointment, as this handicap

sidering the fmpost that was given
