The plaintiff had gone on the
stand and given testimony that is
destined to develope some very in
teresting conditions when the real
facts are brought out by the defen-
dant in the Superior Court. The
Attorney for the plaintiff heard only
the testimony of one witness; t. at

Then the motion was made by the
defendants counsel for nOn-suit,
and the court had nothing to con-
slider but the question of the claw.

suggested to the court not to hear
the testimony of the defendant, -.
cause the Plaintiffs Attorney had
left, and to enter a judgement for
plaintiff without allowing the de.
fendant to be heard. The defend
ant appealed the case to the Su-

MODERN DlSPENSARlES

mUDEhN DI0rtNSAkltS
A number of people are asking
these dasy, Just what is an anti
typhoid dispensary?" To clear the
atmosphere a bit the State Board of
Health explains as follows:
An anti phoid dispensery differs
materially from that other type of
dispensary more or less popular in
state, memories of which still !
linger in certain parts of this state. !
In other particulars the two are
somewhat similar. They differ in
that they will be open only about
one day a week for six weeks They
are similar in that no one person
can secure more than limited
amount of fluid extract Us drops)
each dispensary day. They differ
in that the fluid extract" (vaccine)
is required to be taken on the spot
in the dispensary instead of at home
or in seclusion. They differ in that
the number OF subscriptions TO any
one person are limited strictly 10
three. They are sillilar ii tnat
they are under careful supervision
These present day dispensarieS are
under the supervision of the State
and County Boards of Health.

ACCUSED OF
HORSE STEALING

Sunday night our town mar
shal, S. N. Shirley. was aroused
from his peaceful slumbers at
the uncanny hour of midnight
by a posse from the northern end
of the valley in pursuit of horse
thieves. A couple of young men
had sold a horse to Mr.. Irwin of
Moriarty. which had been stolen
from man near Stanley. Or
more accurately, one young man
sold the horse. They we're traced
to Estancia, where they got sup
per at the Commercial hotel.
The one who sold the horse gave
the name of Rogue, and finding
an opportunity to ride in an auto
mobile with some other men who
were going to Albuquerque, left
with them. His companion was
located by the posse in a side
door Pullman on the railroad
track, but while they were after

A shotgun trap" for the men
who have been plugging the test
wells being bored for the state
on state land near Palma, in
northeastern Torrance county,
has been set by the contractor,
Frank Keehne. and his two
brothers, who are helping him,
according to news received here
from the we'll drilling camp. 1t
is stated that after the days
drilling is over the Keehnes now
plug the well opening with a
wooden block. which is attached
by a concealed wire to the trig-
ger of a shotgun placed in such
a position that anyone attempt
ing to pull the plug will receive
the charges from botha barrels.
According to reports, the trap
has been set in such a way that
it would be impossible to remove
the wooden plug or cut the con-
Meeting wire without discharg-
ing the shotgun. New Mexican.

PLUGGED WELLS
AND SH0TGUNS:

The drilling of two test wells
for the state on state land near
Palma, in the northeastern cor.
ner of Torrance county, has
been stopped by unknown per.
sons throwing pieces of crowbars
pick heads, horse shoes and 9th.
er iron into the drill holes. A
piece of iron has also been thrown
into a third well started recent.
ly, but the contractor has been
able to continue drilling, and in
the meantime is attempting to
remove the iron by means of a
magnet.
This information has been
brought to Santa Fe by Robert
L. Cooper, assistant state en-
gineer, who visited the site of
the we'll drilling operations a few
days ago.
1t is supposed that the people
responsible for the attempts to
stop the we'll drilling live in that
district, have been making free
use of the state land for grazing
purposes, and realize that if
water is found the land will be-
come valuable agriculturally and
their free range will become a
thing of the past. The iron
pieces have been dropped into
the drill holes at night.
A contract for three test wells
on state land in the northeastern
part of Torrance county was let,
some time ago, by State Engineer
French to Frank Keehn, of
Corona. 1t was provided that
the first two should be drilled to
depths Of 500 feet and the third
to depth of 800 feet. The first
well started had reached a depth
of only 120 feet when it was
plugged with iron pieces dropped
into the drill hole. A second
well was then started, but it was
down only 60 feet when opera
tions were stopped by the same
tactics. When the we'll now be-
ing drilled was at a depth of 80
feet a piece of iron, believed to
have been a section of a crow
bar, was dropped into the hole,
but it lodged in such manner
that it was found possible to con-
tinue drilling, although it has
seriously interferred with the
work. This we'll is now down
220 feet, and, as stated, attempts
are being made to remove the
iron by means of a magnet. =
