Alfalfa Mill.

1t appears that some people are of
the opinion that the El Centre Ma
tional Bank will suffer a loss in the
turning Of the mill. This is an er-
ror, as the bank had not one dollar
invested in the mill. Personally, l
had a two-twelfths interest in the
mill and will suffer a small loss. The
other stockholders are ampy able to
take care of their losses.
1t is my intention to join some good
reliable cattle and sheep feeders and
rebuild the mill before next fall and
run it on strictly stock-feeding plan.

ored with the dashing Mallinero. and
the friendship continued for almost a

most of her money. Mallinero disap-
peared. He reappeared November Is
and it was then that the shooting oc-
Cured.
According to Mrs. De Soto's testi-
monv the near staying of Mallinero
was accidental. She declared that she
had menaced him with a revolver to
hold his attention while she remon-
strated with him and that the gun
was unintentionally discharged dur
ing the excitement of the woment.
The domestic drama was enacted at
the home of Pedro Gutierrez at Ca

Wednesday evening a Deputy
Sheriff from Uuion Co. was in
town in search Of man who had
killed a. man at Madora and stolen
a horse and escaped. During the
night the Telephone brought the
news OF the attempt by a man
who answered the description o
murder one of Floersheim S COW
punchers, on the Jaritas ranch.
The officers are hot on the trail
and he will likely be apprehended
very soon. He is described as
25 years old aud has sandy hair,
He is evidently either insane or a
bad man. Floersheim's man is
not seriously hurt but had a
close call.
