along the Pecos Valley division
of the Santa Fe and Cutoff has
been announced by the Santa Fe
according to reports from Topeka
and Wichita made public this
week. These trains carry the
Pacific coast and Asiatic mail,
also the Mexican mail and are
the fastest trains on the Santa
Fe between Chicago and the
coast. Because Of h fast
schedule, they are the favorate
trains adopted by a large number
of transcontinental tourists and
those seeking to make a quick
journey across the continent.
These trains are usually taken
by people of wealth who spend
freely at stops en- route to their
destinations and are therefore a
great help to division towns as
well as a great advertising value
to the country they traverse: Al
though local trainmen profess to
be ignorant of the change and
say they are not listed on the
new time table, effective Dec. z,

IL required less than ten min
utes for a jury in the United
States district court Saturday
night to decide that William A.
Davis, former postmaster of
Clovis, N. NJ, was not guilty of
the charge of embezzlement.
The case occupied the time of
the court for almost the entire
week and at no time was there
any doubt of the result in the
minds of those who had followed
the case closely.
Davis was indicted for the en-
bezzlement of the sum of 81, 1874

AN $18,OOO.OO HOME
Plans Are Now Uuder Way To Erect a
Splendid Modern Building.

Ever since some of the Clovis
Elks we're over at Tucumcari
some time during the past sum-
mer and saw the splendid home
built there by the Tucumcari
Elks, they have had their minds
made up to go them one better.
The campaign is now on and
the means of raising a part of
the funds for this purpose is to
give a grand carnival and bazaar
on December 4th, 5th and 9Th at
the Elks home, where advertis-
ing booths representing almost
every line of business in Clovis
has been reserved. A large
booth is to be arranged in center
of the hall for bazaar purposes
and the articles to be sold are to
be donated by the members of
the order, each article to be sold
to represent a retail value of not
less than a dollar. Pies. cakes,
pastries, etc. will also be sold.

of him, paying the amount lost
in the robbery. however, under
protest.
It's understood that the prose-
cution was undertaken against
the advice of the officers of the
department of justice, but that
the postoffice inspectors insisted
upon the case being pushed, on
the theory that by putting Mr..
Davis to the expense of defend
ing a Lawsuit they would serve
notice on other postmasters to be
more careful in the handling of
postoffice funds.
During the trial an official con-
nected with the postoffice depart
ment made the statement that
almost every fourth-class post
master in the state was technic-
ally guilty of a violation of the
regulations covering the hand
ling of funds, though entirely
innocent Of any intent to defraud
