RECENTLY the Roswell News print
ed a gambling story that told Of the
games that were running openly In
that town, and according to the news
they were plenty. When the grand
jury was organized last week the
court referred the item to the grand
Jury, with instructions to get busy,
and investigate. The grand Jury
made a thorough investigation, and
reported to the court that they could
not find a white chip in town, nor
could they find a place where they
could get a dollar down on the red.
The jury was indignant because 1t
was barred ont Of the games. The
members wanted to be discharged SO
they could make another hunt as pri-
vate citizens, with the hope Of getting
a dollar on the high card.

There will be no school In Lords
burg next week. The teachers leave
here Sunday afternoon for Albuquer-
que, where they will attend the
teachers convention, where they will
put in several days Of hard work and
good fun, and returning will arrive
here Thursday in time for the
Thanksgiving dinner. AS there will
be but n school day left In the week
after their return 1t will hardly pay
to have school that day, so the kids
will get a week OF 1t. The law makers
OF New Mexico think so much of
these conventions OF teachers that
they provide their pay shall 60 on
while attending them, and that the
school board shall pay their travelling
expenses while going and returning,
this is done so as 10 secure the at

There was a closely contested COW
stealing case Ia Dehlhg at the term
Of court held there last week. The
prosecution thought II had a sure
case. The only witness for the de
Tense was the defendant, who denied
stealing the cattle, and the jury stood
eight for acquittal and four for con-
yiction which is about they way most
cattle stealing cases stand 1t is al
most impossible TO convict a man Of
cattle stealing. A party interested
10 the proper execution OF the laws
asked Judge Neblett II the Officers
and witnesses found on the range a
recently killed animal with the kill
lers actively at work skinning the
beast, and should arrest them In the
act, could a conviction be secured be-
fore an average juryP The judge
hesitated and responded by saying
that the jury probably would consider
It a put up Job, and convict the Wit
nesses Of conspiracy.

When New Mexico was a territory
the canvassing of the votes was done
by the county commissioners in each
county, and the result was certified
TO the Territorial Secretary. The
commissioners met the week after
election and completed the work In a
day, II all the returns we're in. II
the returns from any precinct we're
missing 1t was no great job to get
them, and the work was soon con-
cluded. Since New Mexico has been
a state the votes have been canvassed
at Santa Fe, by a state canvassing
board, and the announcement of the
returns have been slow. The board
met the week after election, as did
the commissioners, but it was a much
bigger job to canvass the vote of 26
counties than Of one, and it was
physically impossible for the canvass
to be completed in a day. There are
missing the returns from various pre-
cincts, so it was impossible to com
plete the canvas within the week,
and the board had to adjourn over
Sunday, and send after the missing
returns, There were enough returns
in so that the result Of the election
could be announced. However, II the
results on any state candidate had
been close the result as to him could
not have been announced. Better go
back to the territorial way Of doing
business.

Experiences with forest fires on the
national forests this year show that
automobiles, where they can be used,
furnish the quickest and cheapest
transportation for crews Of fire hgh-
ters. Motor rates are higher than
those for teams for the actual time
employed, but the total cost per dis
lance travelled and In wages paid to
men in getting TO fires is much less.
The t~lme-saving is self-eyident; trips
which ordinarily require two days
time by team have been made by
automobile IN a few hours.

1t is not often that a young fellow,
after serving an apprenticeship of
two years on a newspaper, is in a
position to marry. So Harry Rogers
accounted himself particularly for
tunate young man.
Laura, to whom he had said good
by in the little home town when he
started for the metropolis to make
his fortune, had remained true to
him. He had been home three times
on vacation and each time their love
had seemed more real to both.
Laura was to become his wife with

York to stay with her aunt, whom
Harry had never met, and they were
to be married there. In a week he
would see Laura again.
Symonds, the city editor, called
Harry over to his desk.

funny interviews, and want you to

Il think So" said Harry.
At 8 o'clock that evening he was
being shown into Miss Cavendish's
house. The elderly lady who await
led him at the table apologized for not
rising, and the crutch beside her
chair explained her reason. Harry
was conscious of an impression dis

the season that they were at the OPP
ening of the year when the strongest
quints in the northern part of the
state q were brought here. Teams
from the southern part of the state

played here the latter part of this
month. The Battery D team claim
the championship of the state, al
though they have not played the AS
tensions of Minneapolis. These
teams will meet in the near future
to contest for the title, but at pres
ent an agreement can not be reached
as the rivalry is so keen that neither
team will not agree to the demands
of its opponents.
Next week the Two Harbors five
