MAN IS FOUND DEAD
on FIRST ST. EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING

j. H. Eckley, a man about 80 years
of age, who has been working for
Joe Ritz for about five weeks, was
found nearly dead Saturday morning
near Bob's restaurant. He was
still breathing when picked up and
taken TO the city office, but died
within an hour.
The city physician was called and
everything possible was done to re-
vive the man but to no avail. He
had evidently been drinking the
night before but Mr.. Ritz said he did
not know he drank and had found
him to be good hand. II was
later found out that he had a weak
heart and il was thought that as he
was on his way to the hotel he had a
sudden attack causing him to fall in
to the water near the curbing in
which he was found lying next
morning. He no doubt died from
exposure because the night was cold
and rainy and he was dressed none
To warm.
Mr.. Eckley was an old-time engi-
neer and had letter of introduction
to this. His home was at Ossawa-
tomic, Kansas, where he was also
m ember Of Mason lodge. The en-
gineers here had the the body pre-
pared for burial and everything
ready to ship to Kansas.

HERNANDEZ SPEAKS
At COURT HOUSE TO
APPREC|AT|vE CROWD

Hon. Il. &. Hernandez, republican
candidate for congress, addressed an
audience at the court house Monday
night and made good impression
on his hearers.
His speech was in English and was
Interpreted by N. V. Gallegos. His
pronunciation was good and fully
demonstrated that he is capable of
addressing any audience in the
United States. He was born in this
state and said he was proud of his
parentage and knew no flag but the
stars and stripes" He is we'll versed
and capable of handling any office
the people might vote upon him.
After he had finished his discourse
II. l.. Boon followed in short speech
in which he asked the support If the
republican ticket and stated that he
strongly favored a state primary law
and the use of the Australian ballot
in all elections. He also stated that
he was not in favor Of the present
taxation system, that he thought
three men located in the city of
Santa Fe are not capable of assess.
ing property in Quay county, that
this year they had added % percent
on all merchandise above the ASSESS
ment turned in by the local ASSESS
or. He said no merchant was
exempt from this extra tax no mat
ter whether he had given in his prop
erty at full value or not, but the
state needed more money, therefore
this tax was inflicted.

POSTAL SAVINGS

The growth % postal savings ia
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has filed
an important gap between the tin
can depository and the factory pay
master. On July /, when affairs
were running smoothly here and
abroad and the transmission of
money across the atlantic was safe
and expeditions there was approx
mately SAB, ,000, 900 of postal savings
standing to the credit of about 3SS.
600 depositors. Since then over $40,
600, 900 of deposits have been added
and the number of depositors has
increased enormously. This unpre-
cedented gain is the more striking
when ii is considered that the net
gain in the last three months is lar
ger than the gain for the entire fis-
cal year 1914. Scores of offices have
done more postal savings business
since the war has been going on than
was done by them during the pre-
vious existence of the service. The
increases are confined to no special
localities, but have been felt in
every nook and corner of the country.
New York City alone made gain
in September of more than a million.
while Brooklyn showed a relatively
big increase. Chicago reported
larger gain in the past three months
than for the previous twelve months.
More than 1000 new accounts
were opened during the period,
bringing the number of depositors
in that city up to over 2l, 900.
The unexpected increase in postal
savings business has not only added
greatly To the general administrative
duties of the system, but, has
brought up many new and interest
ing problems which have called for
the careful personal consideration of
Postmaster General Burleson and
Governor Dockrey, Third Assistant
Postmaster General. But their task
has been ightened somewhat by the
promptness of depository banks in
furnishing additional security to
meet the abnormal deposits. A
number of the very largest banks in
the country, which have heretofore
declined To qualify as repositories
for postal-savings funds, are now
among the eager applicants for them.
The increase in deposits in Tucum-
carl N. M. since July IL 1914 were
40 percent.

GERMANS SAID TO Be RE.
TREATING. STILL FIGHTING

London, Eng, Oct. 2S The great
battle for possession of the strip of
coast running along the north sea
from Ostend to Calais is said by the
French to be swinging slowly in fa-
vor of the allied forces. The
assaults of countless German troops,
which apparently attained the height
of human effort, were matched with
equal courage and ferocity, and to-
day the offensive efforts of the Ger
mans were said to be relaxing.
For the third successive day the
French official statement asserted
the advantage lay with the allies.
Ii is noticeable, however that the
French claims in each instance have
been vague and bare of detail as to
the capture of towns or localities
which may be set down on the map
as marking definite advance at any
point. Progress. advances, "
or gains" are reported AT various
sections of the line not closely indi-
Gated, from unofficial reports from
the front it is inferred that, in the
main, the conflict is raging along
practically the same line as hereto
fore and that the dead lock has not
been broken.

BRAKEMAN STEELE PLEAD
GUILTY, GETS A LIGHT FINE

In the case of State vs. {. ID. Steele
in which the defendant is charged
with assaulting young man by
name of Eckert. defendant plead
guilty to the charge and was senten-
ced to six months in Jail and S225
costs. The Jail sentence was suspen-
ded during good behavior of defen-
dant.
Ii will be remembered that Eckert
was one of about fifteen hobos who
had been stealing a ride on a freight
train. and had been put off near
Logan. He and two others caught
up with the train while it was takicg
water and again attempted to board.
Steel lost control of his temper
and shot into the bunch striking
Eckert in the left lung. Eckert was
brought To Tucumcari where it was
found that the ball had passed
through the left lung and lodged in
his back. He has recovered from
the wound and has been working
around town.
II is understood that this is very
light fine for an offense of this kind
but we are glad il is settled.

COURT ADJOURNED
WEDNESOAY...HUNT
GETS LIFE SENTENCE

District court adjourned Wednes-
day after term which was full of
criminal cases, and many civil cases
were disposed of during the term.
The case against the Las Cruces
bank took up considerable time and
up to this time the Judge has not
rendered decision. The losses of
the bank here were something over
$50, 600.
If the case is decided against the
Las Cruces bank the depositors will
perhaps receive about eighty cents
on the dollar, but if the bank wins
the payment will be- about thirty.
Another case which took up consid-
cradle time was that of Noltc vs.
Eslinger in which Nolte asked for
damages and recovery of horses
which he had let out to Eslnger to
work during the summer of 1913.
the case was decided in favor of
the plaintiff and he was allowed $75
damages.
The Buchanan case resulted in a
hung jury and will be- brought up
for hearing next term.
Mack McLinsky, charged with
assaulting Vadeen with deadly
weapon was ready for trial but on
account of Vadecn being out of town
the case was continued.
In the case of State vs. Epifanio
Vargas charging defendant with for
gerry Vargus was found guilty and
sentenced to one year in the pen.
Felemino Saiz was found guilty of
burglary and sentenced To- two years
in the pen. Sentence suspended
during good behavior.
Jess Smith was given four years
board and room in the state pen.
Buffalo" was given free tuition
for term of 4 year To ~ years in
pen for robbery.
Frank Huut was given a life SEN
tence Of 30 years in which time he
may recall many times the scene
about IL miles southwest of Tucum-
carl when two lives were snuifed
out in few seconds; also the arrest
and Jail life, then the trial and con-
viction before "A jury said to have
been one of the most capable ever
brought together, which was out
several hours weighing Hunts life
in the balance of justice, ten of them
asking that he be hanged and only
two in favor of second degree, after
wards winning their contention of
giving the defendant a chance To live
and repent for the crime.
The convicted man was not so
strong, calm and devoid of remorse
as he had been during the trial when
the Judge passed the sentence in
which he informed Hunt that he
would be shut out from the light of
civilization forever and was perhaps
lucky to get off with "a sentence
which kept him from being hanged.

The above is one of the many let
ters received in this city every day
from people who are interested in
Tucumcari and New Mexico.
We will attempt To answer few
of the questions asked by the inquir-
er and will begin with the first.
The prosperity Of Quay county
from an agricultural stand point is
excellent. Most any product is rais-
ed successfully during season like
the one just ending. Some of the
booths at the county fair contained
from 90 to 80 different varieties and
all were fine specimens of what can
be raised. A buyer who commands
the cash is able to purchase good
land so cheap he is afraid there
is "nigger in the woodpile" and
some times passes up real bargain.
The cattle men are buying up large
tracts of land from former settlers
at low prices. The most successful
crops are maize feterita, kafiir, cane,
wheat, melons, and various other
products such as beans. beets, cow
peas. etc. The market for these
has been good. The crops this year
have been above the average and it
would be impossible Ia enumerate
all the different articles grown this
season. We know of "a number of
women who are making success on
farms and ranches. Since statehood
the freight rates have been lowered
and many other things will socn be-
satisfactorily adjusted. The usual
rainfall for the year will amount to
l6 inches. but this year il will run
far up into the twenties. Tucum-
carl is the largest town in the county
although there are "A number of
thriving smaller towns. The alti-
tude is about 400 feet, the summer
is warm and the winter mild, going
to extreme very seldom. Dry farm
ing is the only method used now
with the exception of a..few irrigated
tracts and has proven Of great assis-
tance 10 the farmer. and together
with the best climate in the world,
will make Tucumcari and Quay coun-
ty a prosperous and pleasant place
in which to reside. Buyers have
been plentiful during the past few
months but the price of land is
bound to take an upward glide.
