QUEER LAND TENURES
CEREMONIES OF ANCIENT DATE
OBSERVED IN ENGLAND.
Appear Somewhat Ridiculous in This
Day and Age, but Are Regarded
With Considerable Serious
ness Across the Water.

Our British cousins still cling to
some curious customs with respect to
land tenures. Whenever, for instance,
sex, passes into new hands, the owner,
with his wife, man servant, and maid
servant, goes On horseback to the par
sonage and pays homage by blowing
three blasts on a horn. He carries a
hawk on his wrist, and his servant
leads a greyhound, both supposed to
be for the use of the rector that day.
The new owner then receives a
chicken for the hawk, peck of oats
his greyhound. After dinner the own
er blows three more blasts. and then
with his party withdraws from the
rectory.
Another curious proceeding is known
as "The Castor Whip Tenure" On
Palm Sunday every year a servant
from the Broughton estate attends
service at Castor church with a new
cart whip, and, after cracking it three
times on the porch, marches with it to
the manor house.
AS the clergyman begins to deliver
his sermon the servant quits his
seat. A purse containing 80 pieces
Of silver is fixed at the end of the
whiplash, and, kneeling on cushion,
he holds the purse suspended over the
head of the minister until the end OF
the sermon. Then purse and whip are
left at the manor house.
~
in Essex, is strange Michaelmas OBJ
servance held under the auspices OF
the steward of the manor. The BUSH
ness of the court Is transacted at mid
night in the open air. The absence
of a tenant is punishable by fine of
double his rent for each hour he fails
to be in attendance; no artificial light
except a firebrand is permitted; the
proceedings are recorded by means OF
one of the embers of the brand. The
roll of ii tenants is called and an
swered in a whisper, and then all
kneel and swear allegiance.
In explanation of this odd ceremony
it is said that many years ago the lord
of the manor, after an absence from
his estate, was returning home at
night. Passing over what is known as
Kings hill, he accidentally heard some
of his disconnected tenantry plotting
his assassination, and. thus warned,
went home by an unexpected route.
He enacted that from that time forth
the tenants on his estate should as
semble every year exactly at the same
time to do him homage round post
which he caused to be erected on the
precise spot where the plotters met

Things Of Real Worth.

When man begins looking at the
clock, when the main thing is to get
the largest possible output in the
shortest possible time, industrial art
takes flight. 1t returns only when
further developments in culture make
1T impossible for the race to remain
satisfied with machine-made surround
lngs; when the clock is once more
turned to face the wall, and man once
more sets hlalaelt al ideal of beauty
and worth, rather than of speed.

Federal Garrisn Quits MncIova.
Estacion Anargos, Texas, May 20
General Villa, leading 1000 consUitu-
tic ";.iists, won the first Important
e1,..f cement of the Saltillo campaign
Sunday when he defeated 450O feder-
as retreating from Paredon. Villa
net only administered a decisive de-
feat, but prevented the arrival at Sal
i;llc. Of the Monclova federal garrison,
which would have added materia.ly
to the defensive force there. He also
captured supplies, which will add
much strength and power to his at
tack and weaken proportionally the
defense of the garrison of Saltillo.
The constitutionalists lost sixteen
killed and twenty-nine wounded, while
the federals lost twenty-nine killed
and more than eighty wounded. The
constitutionalists captured 900 pris-
oners, nine pieces of artillery, more
than a million rounds of ammunition
for small arms, large quantities of
artillery ammunition and much pro-
visions, in addition to the five troop
trains carrying the Huerta soldiers.

REPUBLICANS HOLD
LOVE FEAST AT
CASINO HALL
Movement on Foot for Consolidation
of Bull Moosers and Republicans in
this County-Motion Made to Call
Party progressive Republican,"

At mass meeting of old line
Republicans and Bull Moosers held in
Casino Hall on Friday night of this
week, a movement was launched hav-
ing for it's purpose the consolidation
of the Bull Moose party and Repub-
lican party under the name of Pro
gressive Republican.
The meeting was the result of a
conference held among the leaders
during the week and about thirty
representative Republicans from diff
ferent portions of the county res
bonded to the call, 1t was pointed
there was strength, and as this was
not a presidential year, the wisest
course to pursue was to forget the
differences between the followers of
Roosevelt and Taft and present a
solid front to the common enemy,
the democrats.
Mr. Ralph Ellis, chairman of the
Bull Moose central committee, pre-
sided at the meeting and Mr.. Wilm-
ington acted as secretary. In the
audience were noticed such old line
republicans as I. N. Stevens, Ed
Leonard, Henry Bingham. Johnny
Patty and score of others.
After some discussion a motion
WAS HIdu0 IudI dill INopuUlICdHS VI
Greenlee County unite under the
name of Progressive Republican"
and place a full ticket in the field
this fall which is to receive the
united support of all Republicans.
The motion was carried unani-
mously, with the proviso, that the
action of the Bull Moosers received
the sanction of the state organization.
At this juncture some one propos-
ed that collection be taken to de-
fray the expenses of the hall and
lights. Ed Leonard passed the hat
and the amount was raised. Later the
landlord called the attention of the
meeting to the fact that there was
still due him the sum of twenty dol
lars for the use of the hall during
the last campaign, and when this
question was raised, cool head
made a motion to adjourn.

BIG CATTLE SALE IS
MADE THIS WEEK
FOR 100000.
cromb and Wilson Sell Their Ranch
and Cattle on Black River to The
Double Circle Owners For Good
Sum and Will Retire from Busi-
ness.

One of the biggest cattle deals
ever made in this section was closed
this week when Cromb and Wilson
sold their entire holdings on Black
river, including cattle, ranches, and
horses
The exact figures of the sale could
not be learned, but it was more than
100000, and some estimate the
purchase price at $4,000. The ranch
was known as the ten Of diamonds
and the brand was owned by Johnny
Cromb and Bob Wilson, two well
known and popular residents of this
county for several years.
1t was previously known that
Cromb and Wilson were willing to
sell their cattle interests and for
time negotiations were carried on
with the Slaughter brothers in an
effort to make a deal but the contract
ing parties failed to come to terms.
Later Mr.. At. Wilson, general
manager of the Double Circle cattle
ranch, made Cromb & Wilson an Of
fer, which was accepted. 1t is said
by cattlemen that the acquisition of
the Cromb & Wilson range by the
Double Circle company gives that
outfit the best cattle range in the
state of Arizona.

MEXICAN MURDERER
MAKES GOOD HIS
ESCAPE
Daniel Estrada Who 1t is Alleged
Struck Carlos Soils With Rock,
Causing His Death Several Days
Later, Battles Attempt of Officers
at Capture.

Daniel Estrada, who it is alleged
by the officers struck young MeXi-
can named Carlos Soils, with a rock
on Sunday night, May 10th, from the
effects of which wound Soils died a
few days later, is still at large, and
at the time of going to press all ef-
forts of the officers to locate the as
sailant have failed.
1t was believed by the officers that
Estrada was in hiding in this vicinity,
and systematic search of the MeXi-
can quarter was made, but without
success. Since the death of Soils it
is believed that Estrada has made
good his escape to Mexico. A cor
oner's Jury was summoned by JUS
tice Leonard on Friday last to en-
quire into the cause of death of Soils
who was picked up unconscious on
Main street on the East Side Sunday
morning, May 10th. Soils died 49, on
Friday following, after lingering at
the Shannon hospital for five days.
His skull had been crushed in by
blow from some blunt instrument.
Daniel Estrada was the last man
seen with the deceased. The two
men left a saloon on the East Side
late Saturday night and went to the
barber shop of Estrada. Later in the
night they were heard qurareling in
the barber shop and the following
morning the unconscious body of
Soils was found in the street by the
night officers. The disappearance of
Estrada points to him as the assail-
ant.

Board of Equalization.
Assessor Kerby and Deputy Assessor
Coleman have completed the original
Assessment roll. of Greenlee county.
The roll is contained in two volumes
and was delivered to A. l.. Terry,
Clerk of the Board on Thursday of
this week. Including the assessment
of the mines, but not including rail-
roads, telephone and telegraph lines,
which assessment is made by the
state tax commission. the roll totals
at present $29,612,1 ,126.19. 1t is esti-
mated that the railroad and telegraph
assessments in this county will ap-
be two million dollars,
bringing the total assessment at the
time the Board of Equalization meets
to a figure approximating $51 500, 900
as compared to $35, ,753, ,956.37 last
year. The reduction in the ASSESS
ment this year is accounted for by
the lowering of the assessment on
the producing mines which showed
decreased earnings for the year 1918
as compared with 1912.
