Injured Badly
In Accident

Earl Crocker Of this city, was
seriously if not fatally injured on
Sunday afternoon, while out JOY
riding with the Sunday School
class in Swearipgen's utility truck,
about four miles east of here.
The truck was used as a means
OF conveyance to carry the class Of
young people to the Scott resi-
dence on the Cimarron River to
enjoy an outing, and the boy was
jumping off and on the machine.
His foot slipped into the gearing,
throwing him beneath the machine
which passed over his groin and
the lower part Of his body. He
was taken to the Scott home where
he is now confined under a physi-
clans care. Internal injuries and
a mutilated limb are his major sui
ierings.

Bugs Galore
Are Killing
Vegetables

Bugs Of most every description
have ruined a good portion of gar
dens in this section this summer
going after the peas and beans and
other garden truck in fashion
that would put the hook and cut
worm to shame. The bugs resem-
bles the potato bug very much but
is of different specie. 1t hiber-
mates around the pods and eats its
way into it, thereby rendering the
vegetable useless. AS many as 20
and IS are often discovered on one
pod.
Whether it is due to the wetness
OF the season or not is not known
as to the sudden appearance Of the
pest, however, it is known that un-
less the pest is eradicated at once
decided shrinkage will be wit
messed in the frijole crop.

Cutting Of
Grain Has
Now Started

The cutting Of winter wheat has
been started in earnest in this sec
ton and according to reports re-
ceived here the Yields per acre will
be much greater than at any other
time, and within a short time the
other crops Of small grain will be
ready to cut. The threshing Of
grain will soon be started and il is
estimated that the threshing sea-
son will not come to a close until
about December I or later,
It is not thought the price of
grain owing to its enormous guam
tity will be reduced as the demand
for grain will be great from the be-
ligerent European countries.

Over
The VernejjO
Is Crippled

Some time Sunday night the
Rocky Mountain bridge crossing
the Vermejo stream at Colfax was
incapacitated for traffic insofar as
the graded approach was complete-
ly washed away for a distance of
six rail lengths. This damage to
the railway company is heavy as
il is only several months ago that
a section OF the bridge was washed
out.
The Vermejo is the most treach-
erous stream in the county and has
destroyed thousands of dollars
worth OF property this year, not in
cluding the damage done in years
past. Although freight traffic is
temporarily suspended the wash
out does not deter mail, express
aud passenger communication to
and from the main line. The mail
and baggage is transported over a
loot bridge to another section Of
the train which meets the regular
train at the bridge and runs into
Ration.

Suit Under
Amusement

Arguments in the suit OF Rodney

company wherein the plaintiff seeks
to recover certain parcels of land
in this county, were heard by the
court in Ration last week, and the
case was taken under advisement
by Judge Leib, who will give his
opinion soon.
Attorney Remley is counsel for
the plaintiff while Morrow and Al
ford represent the Ute Greek Ranch
company and four days were con-
sumed in presenting the case be-
fore the court.
The parcel OF land over which
the suit was instigated, is valuable
bottom land and at the present is
producing alfalfa. The plaintiff
points out that a lence was con-
structed over twenty years ago, fol-
lowing a line most convenient to

Tax Suits Over Excess Charges Will
Be Argued Friday and Saturday;
Make Permanent Injunction.

ty is far from being settled and
a number Of important cases will
come up for hearing before the
court at Ration on August 2 and 8.
in which the plaintiffs ask that the
temporary Injunction againt the
county treasurer be made perma-
nent and that be be enioined from
proceeding 70 advertise and sell the
property Of the plaintiffs for the
collection OF the tax they hold is il
legal.
The suits are four in number and
the first one is that Of A. c. Price,
M. r. Mendeison and "a others,
including the county treasurer,
Thos. Mcbride. The complaint is
that they returned their property
ior taxation at its actual value, and
that they were by the assessor and
the county commissioners assessed
at one third of the actual value,
thereafter the state board of equal
ization raised the different classes
Of property in ColIax county, in
cludinR property OF plaintiffs all Of
whom reside in Ration, from IS to
100 per cent, thus making the as
sessed valuation Of the property
bmore than one third Of its actual
valuation, which is contrary to
law.
The second suit is that Of the
Price Shoe & Clothing Co., ct al,
about ten others, OF Ration. The
complaint in this case is of the
same nature as the foregoing one,
claiming that the assessments are
IS per cent in excess of the actual
one third valaation, as is provided
by by law.
They have paid the amounts Of
taxes based upon the valuation as
fixed by the assessor OF the county
and by the county board OF equali-
zation
The hearing and argument on
the temporary order or Injunction
win come up on the same dates, as
will also the hearing on the cases
filed by the Maxwell Land Grant
company and the coal companies,
in which they complain that the
state board of equalization lifted
thousands OF acres Of grazing lands
from that classification and put
them into the classification of coal
lands and that the state board has
20 power to make a change OF clas-
ihcation.
This means that the assessed
valuation was raised from 6oc to
$500 an acre.
Large numbers Of grazing land
owners have also brought suit Of
like nature claiming that the graz
ing lands OF coliax county have
been assessed at much greater val
uation than like grazing lands in
other counties.
Argument and hearing upon the
demurrer filed by District Attorney
Remley to the complaint Of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail
way Co. will be had on the sam,
dates. The company claims thai
levies made in several OF the schoo
districts Of the county upon theil
property are invalid .beeaussexces'
sive and not voted ons and that bl

equalization for the year 1871 ans
1919, the county would have ob
tanned more money as taxes thar

Typical Western
Scene On Sunday
Brdsall-C Chandler NuptiaIs Romantic
Affair; Ceremony In The WiIds
OF New Mexico Mts.

Nestled among the beautiful pine
laden hills IA miles north Of Cim-
arron, and having but the clear
sky as canopy of flowers and the
rumbling of the waters to furnish
the wedding march, Jerome Bird
sail and Miss Iva Chandler we're
pronounced husband and wife by
Rev. H. r. Mills, in the midst Of
about fifty immediate friends and
relatives, shortly after one O'Clock
Sunday.
Early Sunday morning prepara-
tions we're complete 10 convey the
the guests to the scene of the we'd
ding, and nothing was left undone
to provide the guests with social
repast for which the Mesdames ].
|. and o. f Matkins have the sig
nal honors, the mountains having
groaned under the weight of deli
eatessen,
The trousseaus consisted of the
western regalia with which the at
tendants, Miss May Livingston
and Eddie Scherrer, were also rob-
ed, and the ceremony was perform
ed with the contracting parties and
attendants astride their mounts.
The contracting parties are un-
usually well known in this section
where they have hosts of friends
and who extend many we'll wishes
to the happy couple for a life of
marital bliss.
The ceremony for the occasion
was improvised by Rev. Mills on
his way to the mountains and is:
This is indeed most romantic
affair. Set in all the ruggedness
and beauty of wild nature, and
framed in Gods all out Of DOORS
Here we are. far from temple,
priest and ritual, far from great
organ and all those toys and trap
pings Of like occasions in the cit
les which we who have learned to
love these wilds consider no more
as necessities, but as a bore and
an agony. Here we are in the for
est primeval. Here we are among
these hills that God has piled up,
here where the water runnels are
the purest and the wild flowers are
the sweetest. And do not these
things make a setting for this we'd
ding that are at once picturesque
and inspiring2 And do not these
things make music sweeter than
that OF any Mendelsoha's wedding
march or the music of the mastersp
And has not God put canopy and
covering over us far grander than
the dome Of St. Pauls, London,
designed by that master architect,
Christopher Rhenn, and grander
than that over St. Peters at Rome
designed and adorned.by that gen
ius Michael Angelop Oh, love
these hillsl There is so much Of
life and liberty and inspiration
here.
May your married life be as pure
and sweet as these crystal waters
and your life long and happy.
Such is the sincere wish Of an your
friends here in these wilds today.
AS you 60 from this spot, made
sacred by this occasion, we shall
throw a thousand blessings and
good wishes after you. and in this
we shall ask God to vovchsaie his
benediction.
