is worse than ever Hay fever is no

victims may be found among the rich and

Hay fever is due to an unusual irri-
liability of the mucous membrane which
lines the upper nasal passages. This is
often parto a general oversensitiveness
OF the entire nervous system. When the
nasal mucous membrane is in hypersen-

dust of every kind. Pollen from flowers
and weeds is a frequent source of irrita-

any time of the year.
The unusual sensibilty of the mucous

to bad hygiene in general. In this way

it hard work to resuscitate the young

KINDBL FOR PROHIBITION
Colorado Congressman Says Liquor
lncited Riot

Washington, d. c.. June l5.-Declar-
ing that liquor has melted riot in the
strike district in Colorado, resulting in
great losses to property and terrible
outrages against human life, Congress-
man George J. Kindel, of Denver, has
announced his avowed determination to
vote for nationwide prohibition if the
matter comes before congress at the
present session.
Congressman Kindel always has been
opposed to prohibition heretofore, but
in letter addressed to Charles j.

Of Denver, declares that he has decided
the time has come to register a protest
against the present state of affairs and
that he will do so by supporting the

The hay fever victim should begin, even

body with dry towel. He should take
some systematic daily exercise. preferably
out of doors, and he should sleep with an

consist largely of fresh vegetables and

NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING
Bert Carter's Two Year Old Daugh-
ter Had Very Close Call

While playing about her home in the
Eureka district on Saturday evening
the two-year-eld daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Carter wandered away un-
observed to the High Line canal near
by into which she slipped but miracu-
lausly escaped drowning.
The little one was rescued by Harry
Badger, who arrived at the Carter
home just as they began calling the
little one and as he crossed the ditch a
few moments later he kept careful
watch with the result that he espied a
little arm sticking out of the water and
soon had the unconscious form of the
child in the arms of her mother.
The timely presence of Mrs. Masters,
neighbor, who put into immediate
practice her knowledge of the applica-
tion of artificial respiration in the case
of drowning person, had brought the
child out of danger before the arrival
of the Doctors who were summoned,
and next day the little tot was appar-
emily none the worse for her involun-
tary immersion in the big ditch.

ENORMOUS EXPENSE
viii Be Caused Otero County by
Retrial of Bob Harris
Murder Case

AS reported by The Enterprise
last week the most important Grim
inal case to come before the June
term of the District court now in
session at La .Junta is that of Bob
Harris, who will be given another
trial for the murder of Marshals
Craig and Ripper of this city, on
the evening of July 4, 1911, the
trial being set for Monday, June
%. Harris was found guilty of
murder in the first degree and
was sentenced to be hanged. The
conviction was reversed by the
supreme court on the grounds that
Judge Essex in his instructions
to the jury, failed to state that
the verdict in the case could be
made manslaughter.
This case will entail enormous
expense upon Otero county, as
six witnesses that have been sum
moned reside outside of tine county.
Two of the witnesses reside in
California-Mrs. j. b. Craig,
widow of the murdered marshal,
living in San Francisco, and Jack
Tinsley, who was sworn in as city
marshal after the killing, and ar
rested Bob Harris. Tinsley is
reported to be in Los Angeles,
Calf. FL. W. Potter, sheriff of the
county at the time, is in Nebraska
City, Neb. III. j. Sprinkler the
undertaken who prepared Marshal
Craig's body for burial, is in New
ton, Kan, and in the latter state is
also our eX-mayor, q. NJ. Coifman,
who was amongst the first at the
scene of the murder and was also
present at the capture of "Nigger
Bob" These are all important
witnesses in the case.
An important state witness
whose testimony can not be taken
at the coming trial is w. S.
Sharps, whose demise occurred a
few weeks ago. Mr.. Sharps lived
just across the street from the
Harris home and was the first to
reach the scene of the killing,
where he stood guard over the
body of Marshal Craig until the
arrival of physicians and the cor
oner.

DISASTROUS
''''''''''H$ HAILsTORM
And Near-Cyclone Visits this
Section on Sunday
FOLLOWED BY RAIN
LASTING THIRTY HOURS
Over Three Inches Precipitation Over
flows Irrigation Ditctes and Does
Considerable Damage

For the second time within
month this section was on Sunday
afternoon visited by destructive
hailstorm that wrought great dam
age to growing crops, fruit, etc,
and has caused our farmers to
wonder whether or not they are
going to derive the expected and
usual profits from this seasons
harvest.
The hailstorm struck this city
about five O'Clock and for about
half an hour the frozen pellets
or rather chunks of ice, for the
hailstones in many instances were
larger than the proverbial hen
eggs, measuring up to fourteen
inches in circumference-kept up
a continuous bombardment.
The hail was accompanied by
the closest approach to tornado
that has visited these parts in
twenty years, and trees were up
rooted and broken all along the
way, in addition to driving the
hailstones with such resistless
force that unprotected windows
were smashed all along the path
of the storm and in some cases
even the wire screens were pierced
and limbs of trees couple of
inches in diameter were cut off by
the frozen missiles.
Even the thrifty farmer who
had his alfalfa in stack was not
immune from damage, for the
wind literally tore the hay from
stacks that were wired down and
left the alfalfa so exposed to the
fury of the storm that the stacks
were water-soaked to the bottom.
Following the hailstorm came a
fall of rain that continued inter-
mittently until after midnight on
Monday, overhowIng the bitches
and causing considerable damage
by washouts and a repetition of
the May 81 flood experiences in
this city, when cellars and base
ments were flooded all about town.
1t is impossible to estimate the
amount of damage done by this
storm, but it is thought from re-
ports received from the stricken
which reached from Fowler
to the state line-that only the
fruit crop was damaged beyond
repair and that all growing crops,
even to the cantaloupes, will come
through with loss of not to eX-
ceed % per cent in any case.
In this city the effects of the
hail bombardment may still be
seen along the east side of Main
street, plate glass windows being
shattered for III. A. Overbagh,

Will GUTTER
MAIN STREET
OrdinanceWill Be Submitted
for Action Tonight
PEARL SPRINGS WATER
is TOO EXPENSIVE
Proposition Rejected as Water Would
Cost City $4,000 Year More
than Present Revenue

NCtCuuC
Rocky Ford citizens will be
pleased to learn that matters are
now in trim for the most effective
civic improvement that has been
undertaken in many years, by
which it is hoped and believed that
our Main street will no longer be
sea of mud In wet weather and a
shifting cloud of sand and dust
during every gentle zephyr that
blows in the dry season.
AS The Enterprise noted a few
weeks ago Mayor Roberts gave
the incentive to the city better
ment when he advanced the prop
osition that the city engineer
should investigate and report up
on the probable cost of concrete
gutterine and curbing along Main
street, and Alderman Price at the
council meeting last Friday even
ing called the attention of the
council to the La Junta street curb
and gutter ordinance and upon
motion the matter of preparing a
similar ordinance for Rocky Ford
was referred to the law and ordin-
ance committee, the city attorney
and city engineer, who were in
structed to have the same ready
or its first reading at an adjourn
lneeting to be held this evening.
-sF a necessary adjunct to the
guttering Main street will have to
be graded, and it is proposed that
the coarse gravel now being used
upon the streets be run through a
rock crusher and used for cover
ing on Main street. Toward this
part of the street improvement
Alderman Lawson reported upon
the price of rock crusher, which
was also laid over till next meet
ing for action.
Water Is Too High
Those cautious citizens who have
been fretting that our city council
= would tie up with any old kind of
a water proposition and would
grant valuable franchise to the
Pearl Springs Water Co., without
giving the people an opportunity
to express themselves, by mass
meeting or in print, may again re-
sumo their interrupted rest free
from the water bugaboo, as the
city council at its meeting on last
Friday evening put an effectua
quietus upon the proposition of
gravity supply of water from the
Box Springs country, and we'll
have to worry along with our
present abundant supply of pure
sand healthful artesian water.
According to the report of the
WdltT COiuuiittotJ ~ "hich hhi
been referred the proposition of
the Pearl Springs Water Co., this
water would cost the city 5000 a
year more than the present reven-
ne. and the city clerk was in
structed to inform the company
that Rocky Ford could not consid-
er a contract that would call for
more than $4,000 year for its
water supply.
