No Cranking for U.s.

Karl Burgess had the mis-
fortune to break a bone in his
wrist the other day. He was
trying to accommodate some
body crank up their auto at
Macomber's garage and it
kicked him.
Personally, we would rather
tickle mules heel than to un-
dertake to crank up an auto.
The mule might miss you, but
the auto crank never.
Just a few weeks ago we
read Of a WON IN, we think it
was at Albion, who was kick
ed by the crank of her auto,
which she had fed, and brush
ed and petted fer many mon
tbs. Just for one second it
caught her off her guard and
"Zlp!' went the crank, and
the poor woman has been saw
ing Up her dimes and nickles
ever since to pay the doctor
for reducing the compound
fracture Of her right leg where
the crank caught her.
We have in our boyhood
days been hit in various ten
der portions of our anatomy,
with the crank Of a we'll curb,
and that's enough. We seek
glory along other lines.
When we buy an auto it
will be fitted with one of the
automatic electric sparkling ap-
pliances where you can sit up
on the seat and watch the old
thing kick until it is tired out
and willing to start without

TxO SOG0rEsO County
Men Fight Dues. One
Dead.


Pat Gam, anold time ranch
man Of Socorro county, was
shot and almost instantly kill
ed last Monday evening by a
neighbor. Henry Steen, at
Cams home ranch in the
Apache Creek country near
Aragon. Steenahas arrived
here in an automobile from
Magdalena to give himself
up to the authorities and his
hearing will be held on Satur-
day or Monday. Steen claims
self defense and his story of
the killing is that he fired the
deadly shot at Gam only af
ter the latter had fired several
times at Steen with a rife.
Both men are we'll known
throughout the county and had
been neighbors for some TWEEN
ty years in that remote sec
ton. Gam had the reputa-
tation of being hard drinker,
having taken the Kelley cure
some years ago, but it is said
that he recently relapsed into
his former habits and had
been drinking steadily previ-
Gus to the killing.
According to Stems ac-
count of the tragedy, early
Monday afternoon, Gam ask
ed Joe Vim, man who had
been working for him at the
ranch, to go FIX him a toddy.
go fix it yourself, if you
want it," responded Winn,
angered by the peremptory
tone Of the other. Later, high
words having passed in the
meanwhile, Steen rode up on
his horse with the intention of
passing the night at the ranch
house
Just as Steen Gam
came out of the house and
opened fire on Winn with a
Winchester, Steen arrived Just
in time to knock up the muz-
zle of the gun as it went off,
SO that Winn escaped. No
further demonstration was
made until about dusk, when
Gam again emerged from the
house and ordered the two
men to leave the ranch at
once, applying abusive and
profane epithets to both. The
men agreed to leave and
went out and saddled up their
horses. Instead of mounting
at once, Steen started to lead
his horse out of the yard,

The Boarding Of the Pilgrims s.

The gnashing teeth bit hard
On a firm and rib-bound roast,
And the boarders 'gainst a table SCARED
The leaden biscuit tossed.
And they frowned with inward storm
AS they scanned the dishes DER,
And recognized in a chowdered form
The things they'd seen before.
Not as the conqueror comes,
Stirred by the drumbeat's roll,
They came at the yearn of empty tums
And the tea bells timely toll.
There We're men with hoary hair
Amidst that hungry group.
Why had they come to wither there
And humble DER their soup?
There was a womans hungry eye
Seeking an extra roll;
There was manhood's brow serenely
high,
Qua riding the sugar-bowl
What sought those reaching arms?
Fat pickings mid the dearth?
The wealth of seas-the spoil of farms?
They craved their moneys worth.
Save here a stain of broth,
And there a gravy trace.
They left barren. crumbless cloth
Within that boarding place.
