RETURN TO GOOD OLD DAYS
or REAL HORSE RAGING

Real horse racing: the kind that
makes the blood run fast and arouses
real enthusiasm among every lover
of good sport, is to come to New
Mexico this year as part of the rae
ing program of the State Fair. From
October to 10 a big program will
be given every afternoon at the Al
buquerque fair grounds, bringing
out long list Of the best harness
and running horses in the west. The
Associated press will carry daily re-
ports of the results all over the
country. The horses are Of q quality
which makes every race they enter
of national interest to followers of
the sport. Two elements entered
into the making of great racing
program this year. One was the
including of Denver and Pueblo in
Santa Fe circuit. The addition Of
the huge purses offered at these
meetings to the purses offered by
the state fair association, attracted
the best talent in the country. The
other element was the nearby inter-
national tract at Juarez, Mexico. A
flock of running horses which will
make the winter season at the Juarez

seniors with prospects for more. This

The total enrolment reached 6l6
the third day which is practically the
same as last year. The eighth grade

WILLIAMS GROCERY CATCH.
ES ON F|RE..SOON PUT OUT

A big fire was narrowly averted
last Monday afternoon when it was
discovered that the whole back end
of the Williams grocery store was in
flames. The fire department was
soon at work throwing two streams
of water on the blaze. A strong wind
was blowing and it took heroic eff
fort on the part of the boys to enter
the burning building, with coal oil
and gasoline beneath them, and fight
the fire which had a good start in
the partitions and other woodwork
in the second story.
The fire is said to have started
from pile of trash being burned at
the rear Of neighboring store, it
spreading to pile of wood which be-
longed to Mr.. Williams. II then
caught the back stairway on fire, al
so barrel of coal OIL and was rap
idly spreading when the alarm was
turned in.
A dray team was used to pull the
wagon and the boys were stringing
the hose when the regular team ar
rived. This is another evidence that
Tucumcari needs fire team.
Mr.. Williams estimates his loss at

paired.

ELECTRICIAN INJURED BY
FALLING FROM DERRICK

Fred Elder, electrician for Elec-
trio Light Co., fell from one of city
derricks yerterday morning and was
knocked unconscious. Mr.. Richey
was near by and summoned medical
assistance.
Fred soon recovered consciousness
and was taken TO his home. II is
thought his injuries are only tempo
rary unless he was internally injured
and will be well within a couple of
week.
He was working on the side Of the
derrick, when he reached up to catch
hold of exc. II turned enough to
allow his hold 10 slip and he fell TO
the ground a distance of q feet. We
are glad to report this miraculous es-
cape and hope he will be out in a few
DAYS.

HUDSON

A surprise party was given by the
Misses Bertha and Leona Bourland
at their home on Friday night, by
the young people of the community.
The young ladies are soon TO enter
school at Logan. Among the party
refreshments, ice-cream and MELONS
are enthusiastically mentioned.
The Misses Violet and Carrie Love
of Middlewater, Tex. oldest daugh-
ters of Mr.. and Mrs. Lon Love,
have been the guests of their grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Scott,
during the past week.
The sacred song services held each
Sunday night at the school house are
being attended and participated in
with unusual vigor by the young
people Of the surrounding commun-
ity. On next Sunday night, an added
attraction will be the orchestra ac-
compartment. Ochestra practice will
be held Immediately following SUM-
day School in the afternoon. All
persons playing stringed instruments
are invitpd to be present and assist.
Mrs. j. M. Davidson had what
may terminate in serious misfor-
tune on Saturday. By the turning of
her saddle at an inopportune mo-
ment, she was thrown to the ground,
and has been in helpless condition
since, one side being so seriously af-
fected that she is unable in any way
to use it. The hip appears badly in
jured, and is as yet unable to stand
on the foot,
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Kettle were
here on Monday of last week on a
purchasing trip. They remained in
the burg over night. returning to
their home beyond Tucumcari on
Tuesday.
T. l.. Mcbride, who began drilling
well at his claim north Of Hudson
on the Canadian, has abandoned the
undertaking, having struck round
head rock which made further pro-
gress impossible. Mr.. Nc Bride is
now digging a new well by hand
near the river-bed, where water is
supposed to be shallow.
Mrs. Ulmer feels that in his-write-
up of his Hudson visit last week,
the News editor rather exagger-
ated her herd, which in the cattle
country would really be considered
very small. She has nice bunch Of
young grade Durham and Hereford
cows, Oldest of which is scarcely five
years of age, and all being raised by
her on her farm, but the bunch was
culled in the spring, all steers and
old cows being sold off, so that the
number which was never large is
considerably depleted.
The family of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell
enjoyed blackberries of their own
raising this season. Many others Of
the community have attempted berry
cultivation without success. Mrs,
Bells fortune along this line is inspi-
ring those who failed to try again
some products which have not read
lily responsed to this section previous
ly appear to be adapting themselves
better to the soil after a longer per-
iod of cultivation.

"Spartacus, or the Revolt Of the
Gladiators" was the title of the play
given at the opera house moving pic
ture show last Thursday night. A
large crowd was in attendance and
the pictures were as good as the best
of the Kleine features and that is
saying a great deal because these
features are the best on the market
and cost quite a nice sum for the

SOME wATERMELONS

j. w. Huggins was in from the
vicinity of Quay Tuesday with a big
load Of watermelons. The largest
weighed more than fifty pounds and
he sold one dozen which averaged
32 pounds to the Jackson grocery.
The money received for the melons
was not very much considering the
long haul and other trouble neces-
sary in raising this class of melons,
but he was satisfied and many of our
citizens enjoyed the fine fruit.

Bad Negro Killed Trying to
Escape.

Monroe, La, March 3O.-While
fghtin desperately with a two
foot section of iron pipe and
scattering acid from quart bot
tie in a determined effort to es'
cape from the parish jail, Norris
Watson, negro confined on a
murder charge, was killed by
Deputy Sheriff Arthur Grant
and Police Officer Tom McElemee
at two O'Clock this afternoon
when dinner was being served
the prisoners. Mr.. Grant and
several others we're burned by
the acid and John Flowers, the
negro porter at the sheriff's Of
fee, received a blow across the
head with the iron pipe.
AS the cell door was opened,
Watson rushed out and began to
use the iron pipe and to throw
the acid. He got into the cor
ridor of the Jail, where he fought
desperately before he was final
ly killed. He threw a heavy pad
lock at Mr.. Grant with such
force as to break it against the
wall as the deputy lodged. The
negro paid no attention to wild
shot to brighten him. When
shot in the leg he kept fighting,
and when he was shot through
the stomach, his reply was
Shoot again, you--white man. F"
At this juncture Officer Tom Nc
Elemee arrived on the scene and
standing outside the window, he
fired one shot, which pierced the
negro's forehead. Watson had
been in Jail about a month. He
was awaiting trial for murder
ing his wife, following a quarrel
when she began taking her be-
longings to a neighbours house.

Many a man and woman goes
through life working along the
line of greater resistance when
they could take the easy path of
health and happiness. Many a
slightly disordered liver is the
cause of lack of energy and

In oiden times calomel used to
shock many a liver into its natu,

health. But there were many

death from its use.
