the oil fields. Having smoked all the
cigars previously provided by the
agent who conducted the party. they
all went into the one store OF the vii

The cigar stock consisted of limited
assortment of stogies. ''two-fers." and

Supt. Hires is enthusiastic over
teh wonderful changes for the better
the farm has wrought in the lives
and morals of the prisoners. He says
the prisoners when they leave the
place can be trusted anywhere and if
he had his way he would abolish the
few guards on the farm-seven men
for 1875 prisoners--and substitute for
them the better class of convicts. He
believes the farm system is the cor
rect method of dealing with the Grim
inal and the results are justifying his
belief.

THIEVES
CAPTURED

The prospects seem good for
breaking up a horse stealing in.
dustry which has been flourish
ing in Lincoln county for the past
eighteen months or more. Until
recently the losers and officers of
Lincoln county had never traced
any of the stolen animals.
Last week, however, Lincoln
county men came here on the
trail of stolen horses, and with
the aid of Deputy Sheriff Dee
Robinson and others, recovered
eight head of horses, and arrest
ed three men who are charged
with being concerned in the
stealing.
The horses were located above
Escabosa. The brands had been
burnt and the horses sold.
The men under arrest are
Caytana Alderete, Santiago Gar
cia and Daniel Sandoval. They
were taken to Carrizozo by
Deputy Sheriff Dee Robinson, and
turned over to the authorities OF
Lincoln county.
Other men are believed to have
been concerned in the stealing,
and the officers are looking for
them.
What has already been accom-
plished will go far toward break
ing up the gang.
Il is believed that practically
all the horses that have beer
stolen from Lincoln county have
travelled this road.

LAND And LEASES
Wanted NOW

The getting up of the lands
and leases for the deep well
scheme has now reached 4 criti-
cal stage, the prompt and easy
to- get ones having come forward
with their contributions; but the
slow and hard to get ones are
still hanging back, some of them
evidently with the idea Of let
ting George do it, No doubt
there are valley land owners who
are remaining under cover in the
hope that the other fellows will
pull the scheme through, No
doubt there are others who have
merely put off comiag forward
with their contributions because
they were busy with something
else. All these, Of both classes.
are needed right now, and must
be had if the scheme is to &c
through. The proposition is the
best we have had so far, and il

fail. Don let this proposition
fail because We fall down at thi:
end of the line. Come along

BOUND over TO
GRAND JURY

On Tuesday Deputy Sheriff
Dee Robinson brought in from
Duran three men who had been
bound over to the grand jury by
a justice of the peace at
Duran, charged with eaking
into a merchandise car at Duran.
AS for as can be learned the men
took nothing from the car but
apples, but in this case this was
forbidden fruit and serious conse-
uuences have followed. The men
claim that they are not common
tramps, but in their own country
are reputable citizens. They are
strangers here, however, and
there seems nothing for them
but to remain in jai! until the
grand jury meets again. They
give the names of W. A. Miller

On the morning of November
Il, 1914, four members of the
Woman's, Club Of Moriarty and
all of the members of the Estan-
cia club except two, enjoyed a
motor trip across country from
Estancia and Moriarty to Noun
tainair, where the ladies of the
county federation were right
royalty entertained by the Wo-
mans Club of Mountainair at the
beautiful home Of Mrs. Hanlon,
a leading and active member OF
that club. The day was one Of
New Mexico's sunniest and the
morning air most exhilerating to
the occupants of the four cars,
which seemed to take expression
from their joyous, chatterlng
ladies within and sped along at
an enjoyable pace.
The gentlemen who SO kindly
rendered their cars and service
for the occasion were agreeably
surprised to find that owing to
the great amount ofgas furnished
by the lady passengers their
gasoline bill was comparatively
nothing for the day,
For some reason which we
were unable to learn, the Wo-
man s Club Of Willard was not
represented.
On reaching the home Of en-
tertainment, The members OF the
federation were graciously re
ceived by Mrs Hanloa and other
members of the Mountaiuair club,
A social hour was spent while
luncheon was being prepared.
At the noon hour while the
guests paltook Of the dainty and
delightfully."- served luncheon, the
Misses Saunders and Orme
rendered some very beautiful
piano music, which served to
make the luEch most pleasant
and enjoyable one, although the
ladies needed nothing more to
tempt their appetites than their
fortv mile car ride and the ele-
giant service Of the three course
luncheoa which reflects much
credit on the management OF the
culinary department OF the Wo-
mans Club Of Mountainair. Al
ter another social hour following
the noon meal the meeting was
called to order by Mrs. Fincke,
Pres dent OF lhe county fedora,

Chinaman Held on
Charge He Gave Away
Opium in Restaurant

You Gee, a Chinaman, proprietor
. oil restaurant at 12S Market street,
Nwas held in $500 bail to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury upon pleading
guilty to giving away quantity of
opium when arraigned before Acting
Judge Rooney today in the First
Criminal Court Ralph Rich, of 81
Orchard street, who said that he
bought the opium to procure evidence
for q private detective, was held in
a similar amount as material wit
ness
According to Lieutenants Ryan and
Harris, who, with Lieutenants Far
rbn and Kuhn, made the arrest last
night, they were attracted to the res
taurant by a fight in front of the
lpIace. When they reached there they
sfound James Gregory. a special
deputy sheriff, of 10 Pennsylvania
avenue, and Robert Evert, special
policeman, graphing with one an
other and both insisting on having
the other locked up.
Gregory stated to the detectives
that he had had Rich buy the opium
to get eviden0e against the Chinaman
for selling it, and then when he got
the drug he went to the restaurant
with the intention of arresting the
Celestial and was then going to turn
him over to Lieutenant Harris with
the case all worked up for him, but
that You offered him SIS not to ar
rest him. This alleged bride offer
) was made in the morning, but Greg
ory was told to return at night for
the money, according to his state
ment.
