One day last spring mamma and my
sister thought they would 60 to town.
1t was in the afternoon. They left my
younger brother and to herd the cattle
as grass was scarce In the pastures. The
men were In the field. Mamma and my
sister had gone. so we started to herd.
When it was getting late We thought
We would go to the house for drink as
we were very thirsty.
The first thing we turned the COWS into
the lot and started TO the house. we
noticed a coat hanging on the back OF a
chair on tho porch, which was not there
when we left
Then we went into the house and saw a
figure lying on the sofa, covered with a
sheet We then grew frightened and ran
to the barn as fast as we could.
We put the bride on the horse and
started for town. When we got within
a few miles of town we met mamma and
sister. We told them what we had seen
on the sofa and we told them about the
coat. Mamma made fun OF us and said:
NYou were just frightened" But we still
inaisted on Il.
SO when we got home mamma started
to the house. Sure enough, there was the
coat. She went to the window. Yes, the
figure was there. She screamed as loud
as she could. She was Just going to the
field to call the men. when the figure OF
a woman uncovered herself and walked
to the door. She called mamma Mamma
was 80 surprised when she saw II was

her. She was an aged woman Of 70
years. She was all tired out and had
walked four miles through the hot sun,
She told mamma she had knocked. but
no ono came to the door, 80 she went in
she was so tired that she thought she
would lie down q minute, but had fallen
asleep. She had been awakened by the
screams.
Mrs. Newton then stayed all night and
all tho next day, which was Wednesday.

Notes
BACK TO CARRIzozo.

Take me back to Carrizozo as it was in
the early days,
Ere the cowboy on the ranges had the
moving picture craze!
Let me see the festive puncher, with
his broncho on the run
Coming into town and shooting up the
landscape with his gun
Let me see the chuckawalla and the
lean coyote, too
or the murd'rous Mescalero let me
get a fleeting view;
Let me see frontier squabble as it
was in days of yore;
When our bad man, Bill the Kid, wad-
ed in a sea of gore.
Take me back to Carrizozo and the
plains of alkali;
On the cactus-covered mesa or the
white sands let me lie;
Let me hear the RATHER rafting as he
crawls about the sand,
And the FESTIVE cattle bawling as they
feel the redhot brand;
Let me see the county sheriff make a
gun-play in the street.
And a victim later buried with his
boots upon his feet;
Take me back to Carrizozo; let me
see a poker game
As In the days when IL was prudent
not to ask a strangers name.
Take me back TO Carrizozo where they
sized" a fellow, not
By the noodle that he carried, but
the skill with which he shot.
When the town was short on water
but ALTERED long on gin
And there never was much mourning
when a fellowman ''cashed-in."
Take me back among the grey wolves
and the centipedes and such
Where a brand-iron was suspected
and rustler hated much;
Take me back to Carrizozo when ii
lived a wild career,
And they had a man for breakfast
every morning in the year.
Take me back to Carrizozo--Carrizo-
20 rough and wild,
Where the days were dry and dusty
and the whisley wasn't mild.
Let me live again those stirring from
tier days when all was new.
When the faro banks were frequent
and the churches mighty few.
Let me join a sheriff's posse and get
on "a horse thiefs track.
Whore n hanging bee was likely II
they brought the fellow back.
Take me back 70 Carrizozo in the
palmv days 7 saw
When high boot-heels were i'll fashion
and d six-gun was the law.
