SMALLPOX BREAKING OUT

Santa Fe, Nov II. Earlier than
usual, the first sporadic cases of
smallpox in the state are being re-
ported. In most of the eastern
states and even in Colorado, there
have been cases all summer. Here
in New Mexico, four cases were re-
ported to-day at III Vado, twenty
miles south of Las Cruces. The di-
sease, this time, seems to be of an
especially malignant character and
school authorities are being warned
to enforce the vaccination law.

Santa Fe, Nov. l6.-One of the
most important opinions thus far
this year was handed down today by
Attorney General Frank w. Clancy,
upon request of Assistant District
Attorney A. w. Hockenhull Of Clovis
affecting as il does the sale Of prop.
erty for delinquent taxes
Ii rules that il is not proper to
sell all of the property owned by an
individual for the amount of taxes
against il, II the sale of a portion
thereof would realize the amount
due. II this position is sustained
by the courts, it would affect thous-
ands upon thousands of dollars
worth of property now held under
tax sale certificate.
1t also ruled that there is not au-
thority at law for the redemption
Of only part of the property sold for
taxes. II is also held that the tax
collector can make the personal
property of a delinquent liable for
all taxes due, but there is no provis-
ion that real estate shall be liable for
personal taxes, unless a personal
judgment is first obtained and eXe-
cution is levied upon the real estate.
This also answers the question
whether a taxpayer may segregate
property on which he wishes to pay
taxes from his other property
on which he does not pay. Because
of the removal of large amount OF
personal property from eastern New
Mexico by people who have left
their homesteads after proving w
on them, the question becomes a
vital one.

EIGHT ENTRANTS IN
DECLAMATORy CON.
TEST At HIGH SCHOOL
Jaunita Schaff and Clinton
Wharton Win First and
Second Places

The declamstory contest at the
high school auditorium last night
was well attended and the two so
cieties, Clio and Klassic Klan, made
things lively with their yells and
songs.
An overture by the orchestra open
ed the program. Eight contestants
were entered by the societies and
each one did exceedingly we'll The
Judges were out several minutes be-
fore they were able to choose the
winners. Miss Jaunita Schaff won
first honors with Clinton Wharton
a close second. Earl Gerhardt was
given third place. The other con-
testants were not placed, but taken
as q whole, they all deserve consider
able praise as their declamations
were well gotten up and showed
much thought had been given in
their preparation. Miss Schaff's
composition was of "a biblical nature
and was entitled THE Leper". The
rendition was nearly perfect as she
painted a vivid word picture Of the
leper in his despair being driven
from his home To a forsaken land
where his curse would not be trans
ferred to other men; finally the ar
rival of Christ and the restoration Of
health and purity.
Clinton Wharton's recitation was
of Shakespearian nature and full
of pathos. The characters presented
were similar to those specialized in
the leading dramas. His easy man
ner of impersonating the different
personages easily won second place
for him and we expect TO hear of
him bringing home some of the
honors from Albuquerque.
Earl Gerhardt's impersonation of
Metamora, an indian, was good and
the composition was well written
showing that he had given much
time in preparation. The story was
seemingly true as the indian told of
the advent of the white man into his
territory. the treatment he had re-
ceived and the hardships he had
suffered.
The other icaitations were good
and bore the marks of deep study
The scene of the arrival of a high
toned fastener in the west and his
reception as impersonated by Miss
Brown was worthy of note. The
tragedy as given by Charles Golden
berg was full of startling situations
and, considering he is really a COM
edian, he did the job well. The swan
song and siege of Berlin were rem
dered in a creditable manner by
George Elkins, Misses Nellie and
Fisher Bonds.

The body of A. Howell was found
on the track about 5 miles west of
town last Friday by the engine crew
on the east bound passenger No. g,
which arrived in this city 80
Howell was evidently stealing a
ride on a south-bound freight and is
thought to have been one of five
seen on the train after il left town,
Parties who were at the cemetery
when the train passed saw two riding
the bumpers and three in coal car
and it is supposed he fell from the
moving train. The body was lying
parallel with the rail, the left arm
on the inside and body outside: the
neck was broken and the body and
legs bruised. The arm was COM
pletely severed from the body and
death must have come instantly be-.
cause the weeels ran over the left
side of the body near the heart.
No. 2 reported seeing the dead
man and authorities were notified.
A coroners jury was empaneled and
after viewing the remains and sur
roundings the following report was
turned in:
I'VE the undersigned justice Of the
peace and jury who sat upon the in
quest held this the 18th day of No
vember. 1914, on the body of A.
Howell. found in Precinct No. of
Quay county, New Mexico, find that
the deceased came to his death by
reason of falling under moving
train and being instantly killed.
Samuel II McElroy
Justice of Peace.
Signed by six jurors.
Howell had no money and from
letters taken from his pockets II
was ascertained that his father was
physician at Pittsburg, Texas. He
also had other relatives in Texas.
He had been playing in hard luck
and his relatives had been sending
him money as they could afford il
and asked him to return home.
An answer to the telegram was re-
ceived from DR.. Howell. Of Pittburg,
in which he asked that the remains
be shipped home for burial. He
also sent plenty of money to pay ex-
penses.
The body was shipped out Sunday
and the relatives have our sympathy
in this hour of afiliction. The dead
man was not professional hobo,
hut evidently came from nice parent.
age. This should be another warn.
ing to young men who go out from
time to time beating their way from
town to town, while their parents
worry about their absence. Many
a mothers life has been blighted on
account of the unthoughtfulness OF
wayward son. Many sad accidents
have happened in this county during
the past year There is no honor tc
be derived from being a hobo but
there is danger of losing your life
and blighting the lives of those wht
love you.
