TY COBB AND Our
sOLICITUUS CONGRESS.

Ty b.. Cobb's friends in congress
who have an idea that ball players
are held In peonage and ought To
be set free. so that they may be
able TO comma d wage OF Slj.-
goo a year and an automobile for
six months work OF two hours
day, had better have care lest
their solicitous sndeayors do their
fayorite more harm than good.
An act OF congress that would do
away with the existing system OF
contracts between baseball clubs
and players inevitably would cost
Ty Cobb dear. Next season would
see his princely salary revised
downward to a mere fraction Of the
81 200 that looks 80 modest to
the peonage busters. Professional
ly the whole baseball fabric would
be tottering TO It's fall and where
then would congress find surcease
from grinding toll at $500 per. or
Just half OF TVS slave wage?
More than once In the earlier
days OF baseball. before the bind
Ing contract now In vogue had been
tween managers and the practice
Of players continuously jumping con.
tracts brought things to a. pass not

MARY KEY IS KILLED
BY HER BROTHER
Two Little Children Play With
Loaded Snot Gun With the
Usual Fatal Results. Accident
Occurred at Three Rivers

DR.. f. f. Funk, of this city, but
who is this year located at Three
Rivers, gives us the sad details Of
the accidental killing of little
Mary Key by her young brother. 1t
seems that the children were play
ing around the woodpile at the
home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs
o. G.. Key, at three Rivers, when
Mr.. Key came in iroaI a RABBIT hunt
He laid the gun on the woodpile
presumably out of reach OF the chill
dren, who, at any rate, did not see
the firearm deposited. The facts
as to this are not definitely known
Soon, however, the children discov-
cred it and the little boy, who is
about five years Of age, began play
ing with the trigger. The cartridge
was discharged and the full load
struck litde Mary in the left side.
Ut the base OF the heart, nearly tear
ing off the shoulder. The charge
was load for l2-guage shotgun
The funeral services were con
Quoted from the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kay and at the Three Rivers
cemetery sunday last and We're con

Little Mary was but two years OF
age.
1t is indeed a drplorable accident
and in their sad bereavement tn,
father and mother have our deepes
sympathy.

Immense Yearly Losses

Read the following from the Har
risburc Ill, Chronicle and then
thank the gods you live in Alamo
gordo, New Mexico:
Shawneetown's finacial loss frol
the 1913 flood will be much great
er than in 1898, while the dea h
loss is considerably smaller-iu fact,
no deaths have been reported. 1t
is believed by many, however, thai
several bodies will be found when
the waters recede. In 1898 the fl
nancial los was variously estimated
At from Sl2j,000 TO lS50,000. This
year the loss will fall more heavily,
as several new buildings have been
erected in the past few years and
much repairing done. Hundreds of
cottages have been damaged, demol-
lshed or swept away,While the water
which stood high in many homes
that were able to stand the pressure
ar damaged to a great extent, and
much money will be required TO
make repairs. The brick buildings
are also damaged; the plastering is
of ana the woodwork Is ruined.
This will prevent merchants from
re establishing their stores for weeks

Iirs OF June will have arrived be-
iofc there is any business activity

OF the merchants have let 1t be

The present week has been Civ
en- over largely to the closing exer-
cises of the Alamogordo High School
and the Alamogordo Grammar
School. The exercises and en-
tertainenmts have been varied. All
have been interesting, all have
been reassuring of the high mark
attained By the school, while some
have been decidedly instructive
and elevating.
The undaunted courage Of the
pupils and the unflagging energy of
the teachers have been made ap-
parent in the superior quality Of the
final programs given this year. Sure

real education must now begin. The
foundation has been laid, and well
laid, too; but ceaseless vigilance and
intelligent application will alone
round out the big. beneficial. sue

Breton carried in his address the
ideas recently expressed by Repre-

Whenever we find anything
