The snow is drifted very badly

hard for stock to get through it

cattle and horses to shrink badly.

COUNTY OFFICERS
APPOINTED

Governor Mcdonald on Thurs
day Of last week announced the
appointment of O. w. Lasatel
as county clerk.
On Friday Travelling Auditor
Earnest and an assistant, Walter
Kegel, came down from Santa
Fe and checked up the office.
Judge Medler and District Attor,
ney Hamilton were here Satur-
day, when Judge Medler ap-
proved the minutes of the pro-
ceedings of the district court,
and Mr.. Lasater was sworn in
and his bond approved. seaa1
Mr.. Lasater appointed r. L..
Hit as his deputy.
Without detracting from the
merits and qualifications for the
other gentlemen who were can
l didates for the appointment as
clerk it can be said that the
Governor made an excellent ap-
pointment in this case. Also, in
the person of Mr.. Hit, Mr.. Las
ater has made an excellent selec-
tion for deputy.
Governor Mcdonald came down
Friday evening and intervie wed
various persons on the subject
of appointments to the board of
county commissioners. He re-
turned to Santa Fe without an
nouncing his decision in the mat
ter, andup to this writing WED
nesday evening" no word has
been received here as to who will
occupy those places. There is
plenty of surmise, but as every
person is entitled to his own sur
mise, we will wait until the gov
ernor talks and leave every
reader to his own guess.
Yesterday evening, since the
above was put instype, word was
received here that the Governor
had announced the appointment
of CeIestino Ortiz. Jesus Romero
and Angus McGillivray as county
commissioners.
While there may be some dis
satisfaction with these appoint
ments on political grounds, there
can be none on the ground of
character and fitness, as each |
one of these men stands high in
his own community and all over
the county.
Mr. Romero is an old resident
of Punta, and is we'll known
throughout the county. In 1911
he was the Democratic candidate
for probate judge.
Mr.. McGillivray has for many
years been a leading citizen and
one of the big sheep growers of
the county. In 1911 he was a
candidate on the fusion ticket
for county treasurer. He was a
Progressive.
Mr.. Ortiz has been resident
of Estancia six years, engaged in
the mercantile business. Pre-
vious 10 that time he was a resi-
dent of Santa Fe, where he held
responsible positions during the
entire time of his residence
after leaving college. He was
deputy territorial treasurer for
ten years six years under a
regslhlican administration and |
four years under q democratic |
administration. and also worked |
several years in the First Nationl
Bank and in mercantile estab-
lishments.

The ''DR|FT" FENCE

States District Attorney, AL

Your letter of the 24th regard
ing unlawful enclosures. Sus
lDend enforcement Of decree and
other proceedings SO far as posi-
EbleS until governor and party can
reach Washington for consult
alton on general situation.
(Signed)
McREYNOLDS,.
Attorney General.
The foregoing telegram receiv-
ed today by United States Dis
trict Attorney Summers Burkhart
from the Uuited States attorney
general will be welcome news to
livestock growers in New Mexico
who have been much concerned
because of the action af the gov
ernment in enforcing the drift
fence" law. The telegram of the
attorney general undoubtedly in
dicates that the attitude of the
department toward the livestock
men is friendly and there is no
intention of imposing needless
hardships upon the cattle grow
ers. The telegram is in response
to a careful and detailed state
ment sent to the attorney general
by Mr.. Burkhart several days
ago in which Mr.. Burkhart
pointed out the hardships caused
by the enforcement of the law,
especially during the winter
months, and in view of the long
period during which the govern
ment has tacitly acquiesced in the
violation of the law by allowing
the fences to remain. -Albuquer-

Her eyes alone, indeed, could have

Two sentences exchanged between
Hopi Jim and a blear-eyed fellow
whom he reused from sodden slumbers
behind the bar sealed their confidence
with conviction the three fugitives
were in fact guests of the house, oc-
cupying two Of the three rooms that

In the rush that followed up the
narrow stairway, Judith led with such
spirit that not even Marrophat sus-

Closed and locked doors confronted

SYNOPSIS.

The trey of hearts is the "death-sign"
employed by Seneca Urine in the pri-
vate war of vengeance which, through the
agency of his daughter Judith, a woman
OF violent passions like his own, he wages
against Alan Law, son of the man, now
dead, who was innocently responsible for
the accident which rendered Urine a help
less cripple. Alan loves Rose, Judith's
twin and double. but in all other respects
her precise opposite. Judith promises her
father to compass Alans death, but I'M
der dramatic circumstances he saves her
life, and so, unwillingly. wins her love.
Thereafter Judith is by turns animated by
the old hatred, the new love and jealousy
