HAD CLOSE CALL
Mrs. S. C. Warren Almost Gored by
Hnnger craZed Steer

Residents of the country around Wietzer
were last week terrorized by wandering
herds of wild and hungry cattle that some
inhuman cattle baron had allowed to es-
cape from his range north of the river. to
seek sustenance wherever they could find
1t. Through the criminal negligence of
this big cattle owner in allowing his
stock to run at large the lives of the in
habitants of north Patterson Valley were
placed in jeopardy and it is providential
that tragedy did not result.
At the home of S. G. Warren dire
accident was narrowly averted on Friday
last. Mrs. Warren was out in the home
yard couple of hundred feet from the
house. and was paying little attention to
a bunch of cattle drifting past until she
heard an angry below and turned to see
hunger crazed Texas longhorn steer
charging down upon her. The startled
woman started to run behind a nearby
tree. but slipped and fell as she swerved
and that little patch of ice was all that
saved her from implement as the brute
also slipped and fell with his terrible horns
but few inches from the PROSTATE
woman's body. Mrs. Warren had just
strength enough to scramble up and reach
place of safety before the animal could
struggle to its feet. BY this time MIR.
Warren, who had been Mortified spes.
tator of the steers mad charge and was
rushing to his wife's protection. had
reached the scene and drove the frenzied
beast from the yard.
Mrs. Warren tainted when she reached
the house. and in her delicate condition it
was feared she might not survive the
shock. Late reports are more favorable.
though the danger is not yet passed, and
it may be that "a Rraver case than a
simple suit for damages may yet be in
stituted against the owner Of the steer.

ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
For Republican Harmony Banquet on
Lincoln Day

Arrangements are complete for the
harmony banquet which the Repub-
licans are to hold on the night OF
February the 18th, following the
meetings OF the Republican State
Central Committee, OF the county
chairmen and secretaries and OF the
Republican editors, during that day.
The general committee on arrange
ments held its second meeting Satur-
day night and listened to reports
from all of the subcommittee. The
committee on speakers reported the
following program for the evening
Jesse +. Mcdonald, Chairman.
President Slocum, Colorado Col
lepe, Invocation.
7. II. Devine, Toastmaster.
Senator Albert ] Beveridge, Prin-
cipal Address.
The committee having in charge
the banquet reported that they had
closed the contract for one thousand
covers which will be sold at So 90
per plate. and that already there Is a
large demand for them. The menu
will be exceptionally good and the
ARRANGEMENTS are such that the meal
can be served in very short time.
Arrangements have been completed
for a band, an orchestra and a quar-
tette.
The committee on decorations re-
ported that the room will be taste
fully decorated and, in fact, the re
ports of the various committees show
that the evening will be filled with
exceptionally pleasant features.
Senator Beveridge is a good draw
ing card The fact that it is a har-
mony banquet will increase the inter
est and the evenings program should
be success in every particular.
a feature most emphasized by the
banquet committee is that the affair
is informal. There will be no invita-
tions isnues. Every person who
STYLES himself a Republican has the
right to attend and it is not dress
suit affair. The object OF the COM
mittee is to secure as large Il gather
ing of Republicans as it is ~ossible to
secure.

STATE BACKS COUNTIES
Board of Equalization Takes a Hand

The state board of equalization has
decided to Join El Paso and Otero coun-
ties in resisting the application of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company for permanent injunction to
restrain the treasurers of thoes coun-
ties from enforcing payment of taxes.
The Santa Fe was given temporary
injunction by United States District Judge
Lewis recently and the hearing on an ap-
plication to make the order permanant
will come up in March.
The state board has employed J. R.
Middleton Of St, Louis to give expert tes-
timony on railroad valuations. The Santa
Fe claims that it has been assessed 55
per cent of its actual value, while other
property IN Ell Paso and Otero counties
was assessed at 20 per cent.

AN OLD PAPER FILE
VIII Refute the Claims of Kansas in
Pending Water Case

The Enterprise on Tuesday had tine
pleasure of looking over one OF the oldest
newspaper files in this country, we be-
lieye. outside of some old newspaper
office or state museum. 1t is bound VOL
ume of the Little Rock, Ark. Advocate
for the years 1868. and is owned by
A. R. Beymer. into whose possession it
came away back in Iowa quarter-cen-
tury ago.
In addition to the value of the old files
as an interesting relic of olden times, the
volume contains matter that will prove
very useful in the Kansas-Colorado wat
er suit, as it contains a complete refuta-
ton of the claim made by the complain
ant that there was sufficient water for
navigation in the Arkansas river when
their ditch priority was secured.
One of the arguments that have been
put forward by the people in Kansas who
are fighting to prevent Colorado people
from using the waters of the Arkansas
river is the statement that years ago the
river was navigable as far as Colorado
and that it is the use of SO much water
by the farmers for irrigation purposes
that has caused the river to dwindle to
its present size.
This argument has been one of the
chief topics and up to the present time
has been simply disputed but the proof
seemed to be lacking until these old Ad-
vocates came to hand and il was found
that they contained notices of the sailing
from New Orlans of the steamers Wav.

The adoption of pueblo Rocky

inc this city and Otero county such
unpleasant notoriety that the people
have arisen in righteous Indignation
and propose, protecting this section
from repetition of the outrage by

The Rocky Ford" was tackled on
by the irrigation company as a bait to
catch suckers and while everything
was lovely the Pueblo papers claimed
all the honors and benefits for that
feeling the hook and Hopping frantic
ally to get loose, having filed dam
age suits against the company for
nearly 100000, the papers are max
ing Rocky Ford appear in the large
type while the Pueblo part of the
name is showed in the background as
far as possible.
One evening last week the Pueblo
Star Journal came out with 4 scare
head adjustment of Rocky Ford Al
fairs and the article following had
to do with the litigation in this dis
graceful business. The other dailies
also made Rocky Ford the goat. and
the result is that prospective buyers
of Rocky Ford or Otero county realty
who may have seen these articles wl
be deferred from investing here.
At an informal meeting in this city
on Saturday last the following vigor-
Gus rcmonHrancc was prepared and

We wish it understood that no
Rocky Ford people have or ever have
had any interest directly or indirectly
