HOMESTEADER
P|NCHED

Santa Fe, April 21.-United
States Marshal A. H. Hudspeth
telephoned from Carrizozo today
that he had arrested Joseph A,
Melugin in Lincoln county on the
charge of cutting timber on his
own homestead.
This United States land office
has lately issued rules and regu-
lations based on the statutes, of
course, regarding the cutting Of
timber on homesteads and the
public domain. Melugin was in
dicted on two counts, one for
cutting and the other for remov-
ing timber from the public do
main near Corona.
The case has aroused much in
terest. Some of the timber cut
is said to have been shipped to
Ell Paso. The special agent who
gathered the evidence in this
case also investigated other cas-
es, and it is alleged that Melugin
took shot at the driver who
took the special agent around
the country, although no indict-
ment has been returned in that
matter. Albuquerque Journal.

4 SPLENDID
CIRCLE DRIVE

AS a result Of a recent three
day inspection trip made by of
ficials from the District office in
company with Supervisor Mullen
of the Manzano Forest, q road
log was prepared for the follow
ing route; Albuquerque to Mo-
riarty, Moriarty to Estancia, Es
tancia to fatigue, fatigue to Ia
jique Ranger Station, fatigue
Ranger Station to Tajique, Tor
reon to Mountainair, Mountain
air to Albuquerque via Sais.
This trip clearly demonstrated
that during stormy weather the
best road to Mouutainair is un-
doubtedly along the Socorro road
via Sais. The road to Eistancia
Valley points reaches higher al
titudes and the road surface is
not nearly so sandy as via Abo
Pass. Notwithstanding the re
cent rain, the Tijeras Canyon
road improvement was in excel
lent shape. In addition, there
have been numerous improve
ments between Mountainair and
the junction of the Socorro Ocean
to Ocean road above Sais. Resi-
dents of Albuquerque have not
appreciated in the past the seen
ic advantages of the Manzano
Mountains. There are innumer-
able camping places with run
ming water where automobilists
can take outings without danger
of injuring their cars.
Mimeographed log of this road
will be furnished free upon ap-
plication to the Forest Service. -

querque Office.

ESTANC|A VALLEY
ALL RIGHT

In another column today the
county school superintendent
pays a high tribute to the spirit
of the people of the Estancia
Valley districts in the southern
part of Santa Fe county in sup
porting the plans for better
school facilities and in contribut-
ing literally of their substance
for that purpose.
This is only one evidence of
the unconquerable spirit of de-
termination, optimism and pro-
gre3siveness in the Eslancia Val
ley district. In spite of obsta-
cles which would have long ago
discouraged a less indomitable
people, they have stayed with
the country, they have laughed
at setbacks, they have whistled
when it didn't rain and they
have kept doggedly at the busi-
ness of digging wells and boost
ing the undeniable resources of a
section which at first suffered
from exaggeration and misun-
derstanding of its possibilities.
Perusal of the Estancia News
and the Moriarty Messenger and
the Willard Record and other
newspapers published in that
section discovers every week
that few more farmers have
arrived with their household
goods, that a few more wells
have been drilled, and that there
is a little more optimism and a
little more success all along the
line. The mere fact that live
country newspapers continue to
be published in that section
proves that the Estancia valley
lis holding its own and gradually
and surely going ahead. Live
newspapers are not published in
dead towns nor a defunct region
The Estancia valley people are

DRUG STORE
BuRGLAR|zED

The Estancia Drug Co. store
was burglarized last Saturday
night, and the burglars secured
about $50 in money for their
trouble.
Entrance was gained by re-
moving the glass from the rear
door.
The money was secured from
the cash register and stamp
drawer.
An attempt was made to get
into the safe. but without sue
cess. The outer door was not
locked. With a sledge hammer
taken from Wagner's blacksmith
shop and a railroad coupling pin
the burglars attempted to break
the inner door of the safe, but it
withstood their attacks and the
safe was not badly damaged.
The cash register was not
damaged.
The job is believed to have
been by amateur talent, so far as
safe cracking operations was con-
cerned, as the inner door would
have proved no obstacle to pro-
fessional skill.
The burglars departed to the
northeast, as number of checks
that were in the cash register
were found scattered in that d.
rection.
Manager Stubblefeld and the
officers are saying nothing. but
whether or not they are doing
nothing toward apprehending
the burglars remains to be seen,

HORSETH|EvES
CAPTURED

Ed Hudson and L. A. Johnson,
who were captured at Lubbock,
Texas, in possession of five head
of horses that had been stolen
from George Lee and E. G. Fos-
ter of Cedarvale, are having
their trial at Roswell, their cases
having been set for Tuesday.
They were captured by Sheriff
Young of Chavez county.
Seven head of hcrses were
stolen, but only five were found
in their possession, and efforts to
get them to tell where the others
were failed. They denied knowl-
edge of them.
The men were trailed to the
Pecos river by Alberto Chavez,
Lee and Foster, after which
Sheriff Young took up the chase
and made the capture.
Hudson had lived at Cedarvaie
and his family is there now. but
he had been away at Plainview,
Texas and elsewhere. Johnson's
parents live at Plainview.
Lubbock, Texas, where the
men were captured, is two hun
dred miles east of Roswell,
1t may seem strange to some of
our readers that these men can
be tried in Roswell when the Of
Tense was committed in this
county, but law and rulings in
this state make it possible to try
men charged with such offenses
in any county in the state, we
are informed. Lee Norman was
tried in Roswell recently on
similar charge, and sent to the
penitentiary under sentence OF
eighteen months to two years.

COUNTY OFFICERS
INDICATED

The following in regard to the
county officers cases is from the
Roswell Record:
Judge Richardson in the dis
trict court this afternoon, after
sustaining the demurrer to the
defense, ordered the jury to re-
turn a verdict of net guilty in
the case of the State against the
commissioners of Torrance coun-
ty, a civil action brought to re-
move the three men from office
for alleged neglect of duty, in
competency and misappropria-
tion of funds. The state finish
ed its testimony this morning
and Attorney Prichard for the
defense then demurred to the ev-
idence, declaring that it was in
sufficient to warrant any further
consideration of the case. The
matter was argued at length and
after court convened after the
noon recess Judge Richardson
sustained the demurrer and then
instructed the jury to return the
verdict named. District Attor-
ney Hamilton for the state i'm
mediately gave notice of appeal" "
On the next day after the
above was printed, the Record
printed the following:
In the district court yester-
day Judge Richardson dismissed
the case against Acasio Gallegos,
clerk of Torrance county. which
was brought here from Torrance
county by change Of venue. This
action was taken after the dis
trict attorney representing the
state in the case announced that
he would not further prosecute
the case against the clerk. The
court also set aside the order sus-
pending Acasio Gallegos from
serving as county clerkand or
dered him reinstated in office |
After this action had been taken |
Gallegos announced that he
would tender his resignation as
county clerk April 80.
Thus, it will be seen that all
the county officers heve been |
fully vindicated on the charges
preferred against them.
The reinstatement of Mr.
Gallegos and his contemplated |
resignation will call for the ap-
pointment of a clerk by the
county commissioners.
The commissioners are holding
a meeting today at which this
matter will no doubt be disposed d |
of.
Later-As we go to press we
learn that the commissioners
have appointed as clerk Mr..
Julian Salas, of Encino

he ruin of Cuarai as it stands toda
Cuarai was at the advent of Fa-
ther Estevan de Perea, under
whose supervision and through
whose labor the church was
built, the ruin of which is still
standing. The exact date of F'a-
ther Estevan's labors among the
Tiguas is unknown, but it was
some time between 1917 and
1880. 1t is known that the church
did not exist at the first date,
and in the latter year the church
is mentioned as already existing
in the writings of Father Bena-

Franciscans, to the Conception

Nothing is known of Cuarai
from 1880 until 1913, when it is
known that the priests name at
that time was Father Juan de

Santa Fe, April 25. Mountain
air is rejoicing because the
School of American Archaeology
has decided to hold the first half
of its summer field sessions in
August at Cuarai, the aucient
pueblo ruin decided to the New
Mexico Museum. The school be-
gan scientific excavation at this
ruin last year. The field camp
will be at Cuarai during the first
half of August and will be limit
ed to twenty persons.
The pueblo of La Cuarai was
built by Tigua Indians, a rem
nant of which tribe still exists in
in the pueblos of Sandia and Isle
ia on the Rio Grande in New
Mexico, and a very few at Isleta
del Sur on the Rio Grande in Tex
as, few miles below Ell Paso.
1t is supposed that the inhabit-
ants of La Cuarai were identical
in language and culture with the
Tigua Indianss till living. The
name is Indian and it's meaning
is unknown.

the Tiguas then fled to the Rio
Grande, where the most of them
were settled by the Spaniards at
Isleta del Sur in Texas. Their
descendants today are almost
completely Mexicanized, and on
ly about a half dozen persons
still remember the Tigua Ian
guage, and only one attempts to
use it.
The ruin of Cuarai was paint
ed in the fall of 1911 by Karl
Fleischer for the School of Amer
ican Archaeology. The land up
pom which the ruin stands is
now owned by the Museum of

systematic development was COM

Some time between the years
1864 and 1869 the Cuarai Indians

Apaches for the purpose of mur-

the leader was put to death by

the ancient enemies of the Qua

latter out of their town at about

pueblo of Tajique. which was al

about twelve miles north and
east of Cuarai, and about twenty
miles north of Mountainair. The
church, and apparently the town
of Tejique was built of adobe,

time is a large mound overgrown
with vegetation.
