RAILROAD AVENUE IS
STACKED" BFDBUNKS
WINDOWS ARE SMASHED AND
DELIVERY WAGONS TURN
ED UPSIDE DOWN

As the result of a drunken orgy on
Railroad avenue late Saturday night
the Rosenthal building and several
structures occupied by Gross, Kelly &
Company as warehouses are minus
their plate glass fronts, the police
are contemplating several arrests and
are investigating the legal ground for
prosecuting q saloon keeper for the
alleged allowing Of the use of musical
Instruments in his place Of business.
The disturbance occurred toward
the conclusion Of a dance in one of
the Railroad avenue mans it is stared.
Several young men, feeling hilarious,
enjoyed, it is said, the music furnish
ed contrary To a. city ordinance in
one of the saloons. Emerging from
the place they encountered another
crowd of young men EsEpshad remain
ed longer at the dance. The crowd
engaged in good natured joshing and
went so far as TO play prank upon
Gross. Kelly & Company8b by upsetting
some of the firms delivery wagons.
As the hilarity increased the rough
stuff became more pronounced. Some
members of the party Became angered
at each other and one was knocked
through the plate glass window of the
Rosenthal building. The fight became
general, and before it was concluded
the windows were broken in several
OF the buildings occupied by Gross,
Kelly G. Company as store houses.
At II o'clock this morning none Of
the members Of the crowd had been
arrested, according to Chief Coles,
who is working upon the case The
encouragement of drinking by induc-
ing men to hang around saloons late
at night to listen to music was blam-
ed by the chief as the probable cause
OF the trouble.
The owners of the property demol.
ished are incensed at the outrage and
say it will be a great reflection upon
the police force if the Offenders are
mot arrested and prosecuted.

TELEPHONES
SOMETHING TO INITIATE

Worthy OF emulation Is the WORK OF
she Deming chamber of commerce.
That organization, at its annual meet
ing last week. reported the collection
of $4,000 for community enterprises
and the wiping out Of a debt Of $4,000
during the administration just closing.
The annual report of the secretary
showed that much has been accom-
plished for the advancement of Dem
ing during the past 10 months. The
list of new enterprises launched is
noteworthy. That prosperity has
come as the result of the publicity
campaign is evidenced by the erection
of numerous business blocks in the
city during the year, as well as a
large number Of beautiful homes.
Deming citizens have accomplished
much for their community by support
ing the chamber of commerce. When
the work was first begun few years
ago, Deming was sleepy little place,
scarcely heard of outside a radius of
a hundred miles. The citizens, real
izing it was time to do something. or
ganized the chamber of commerce. 1t
took money to carry ON the operations
of this body, but Deming citizens,
with foresight and public spirit, gave
and gave until it hurt, that the cham
ber's work might be carried on with
energy.
AS result Deming is now wide
awake, growing little city and is
known from one end of the country
to the other as a live place.
There is much in the example Of
Deming that might be followed with
profit by other cities of the state. 1t
xvouldn't hurt Las Vegas bit to get
"A little of the Deming kind of spirit.
Las Vegas has a rives and efficient
commercial organization that is doing
the best possible work with the funds
available II every citizen Of Las
Vegas, whether he be merchant,
clerk or employee of the railroad or
any other corporation, would join in
the support Of the Commercial club,
the organization could and would ac-
acomplish great things for the entire
northern end Of the state.
