AUTO BURNS

The Overland owned and used by
Chas Adair on the Tucumcari-G Grady
mail route caught on fire while
climbing hill this side of Norton
Monday and was burned. Only the
front wheels were saved.
When Mr.. Adair discovered the
machine on fire he hastily removed
the mail and stood by powerless to
put out the flames. The cause Ia
unknown, but it is supposed that a
leak in the gasoline tank and an out
ward explosion did it. but we ere
glad Mr.. Adair discovered the fire
before it reached the tank, because
it is located under the front seat and
when fire and gasoline meet they are
no respectors Of persons.
Mr.. Adair walked four miles to
Norton where he secured Mr..
Underwood's car and completed the
trip to Grady and return.

JUSTICE M'ELROY HAS A
BUSY Week AND IS
READY FOR MORE

A young man was bitten by a dog.
He went to the city Office to swear
out complaint against the owner
and have the dog killed. He -four
ished a gun and swore that he would
shoot the dog If the authorities
didn't. He then went to Judge Me-
Elroy's Office and asked for the city
ordinance to see what could be done.
He again pulled his gun and told the
Judge what he intended to do.
Sheriff Ward and deputies Winter
and White happened to be present
and arrested him for carrying con-
cealed weapons. He plead guilty
and was given the minimum fine,
which is $50. This was hard lnck to
be bitten by a dog and have fifty
plunks extracted from his bank ac-
count just because he pulled a gun
while in the presence of three Of
ficers, but such is life in the far
west.

ANOTHER DIG CROWD

The Trey o. Hearts, which is run
ming serially.i in the News and shown
weekly at the Photoplay, was attend
ed by something over 400 people
Monday night. The pictures are
fine and many pronounce them the
best ever seen in Tucumcari at regu-
lar prices. Many regular readers Of
the News and their neighbors are
reading the story every week and we
will be compelled to print more
papers if the people continue to call
for extra numbers. We were
pleasantly surprised To learn that
our efforts to give our readers a
popular story, at the same time it
was being run in the Photoplay,
would be so much appreciated.
Now we are trying to secure several
others and will perhaps run a short
story each week.
You can read the story in this
paper and 60 to the Photoplay Mon
day night and see the story pro-
duced by actors who are second to
none. Two of the main characters
are performed by Cleo Madison and
many times they are seen on the
screen at the same time. She plays
the parts of Rose and Judith Trine.

AS the story proceeds it becomes
more interesting. 1t is full of start

COOKE WILL BE HERE
NEXT WEDNESDAY

The fellow that says Tucumcari
never gets anything worth while has
certainly been hit solar plexus, and
our cultured citizens will have the
opportunity Of satisfying their hun
ger for genuinely high-class enter
tainment. We have not been able
to enjoy the country's best talent
this season through the usual enter
tainment course. but we shall not be
without one fine program, at least.
Edmund Vance Cooke, humorist,
author, poet, and reader, will ap-
pear here at the High School and at
the Opera House next Wednesday,
Feb. 8.
MIR. Cooke has wrl tten enough
poems to fill ten books, and is now
writing still another. All of his
works are based upon sound sense
packed into humorous packages so
pleasing that everybody finds high
enjoyment in their perusal. These
he reads to the public. Those who
have ever heard an author read his
own writing particularly funny
writings s-will agree that no other
can equal him. In fact, very few
really good poets have ever attempt
ed to do what Mr.. Cooke has done
for the last twenty years and will be
here next Wednesday. In all his
travels he has made good every
where, and grows in popularity each
succeeding season. His popular
"POTLUCK WITH A POET" enter.
tainment has been given to more
than a thousand audiences, and has
pleased every one Of them.
II Is customary for Mr.. Cooke to
recite his poems to the school chill
dren, for whom many of them were
written. Here he will give a recital
at the High School at three o'clock,
Wednesday afternoon. All pupils
will be admitted to this program for
the usual price of admission to the
moving picture show; ten cents. Al
eight o'clock at the Opera House he
will give his big entertainment to
the general public. Admission will
be the popular price of fifty cents;
pupils half price. There will be no
reserved seats. The High School
Orchestra will begin TO play at hall
past seven, so that those who will
come early will have the opportunity
to choose their seats and will alsc
get big preliminary musical pro-
gram.

LET EACH COUNTY
FIX SALARIES

j. M. Palmer, Republican repre-
sentative from San Juan county, who
is causing the Republican house
leaders no small concern because of
the independent stand he insists on
taking, declares himself in favor of
a salary bill that will allow the leg
islative delegation from each county
TO fix the salaries of county officers
in that county. This is a plan for
settling the question Of county sal.
aries that now is receiving consider
able attention in the house, from
Republican AS well as Democratic
members. Many of the Democratic
members are heartily in favor Of it,
and some of the Republicans believe
it offers the best and fairest method
Of solving the county salaries prob
lem.
In an interview, given out today,
Mr.. Palmer, after expressing his APP
proval of the plan mentioned, calls
attention to the fact that he Ia
pledged to a maximum of $1,000 in
county salaries in San Juan county,
and that he necessarily will oppose
any measure that seeks to exceed
that amount in that county.

SOME HoRsELESs WAGON

Quite an exciting runaway oc-
Cured Tuesday morning when a
team Of mules, belonging to Chas.
Brown, became frightened while
standing at the depot and ran south
on 2nd street. Several men tried To
stop the mules but they refused to
cease their exercise until they had
raced eight or ten blocks. The
wagon was new and withstood the
trip without much damage.
Sheriff Ward was the hero of the
occasion. After the team passed
Main street he mounted his horse
and gave chase, but was unable TO
overtake these speedy young mules
before they had covered several
blocks. He returned them 10 their
owner unhurt.
The whole affair was caused by a
steam connection, between the
smoker and chair car. breaking af-
ter one Of the big super-heated en-
gines was coupled on TO No. 2. A
number Of people who were stand
ing near were surprised and ran ex-
citedly toward the team, and to-
gether with the loud noise, the
mules were frightened and made q
hasty getaway. Steam, dirt and
cinders were hurled through the
crowd but nobody was badly injured

NEGRO ROBBED

A negro was touched for the sum
of $40 the other night. Two
suspects were arrested but nothing
found to prove they were the right
parties. One who gave bond to the
amount of $l00. left for parts un-
known, leaving his hackers with the
sack to hold. The sack seems to
have been bottomless and now the
city has an account that will prove
hard to collect; in fact. il is an i'm.
possibility. The marshal is diving
in and seems to be keeping things
humming in police court. And he
will get you if you don't watch out.

JESS WILLARD AND TOM
JONES WERE IN town
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Jess Willard, the Texas giant who
stands 6 feet 6 inches in height and
weighs 245 pounds, passed through
Tucumcari Sunday on his way tc
Juarez. where he is to fight Jack
Johnson for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world.
He was accompanied by Tom Jones
the well-known manager of world.
champions. They were passengers
on No. 3. which was held up on ac.
count of the wreck near Santa Rosa
They visited the Elks Home and
many other places during their stay,
and the many people who sized jess
up are sure that johnson will have
the fight of his life. They would
say you know Burlington, Rhoades,
or some other tall man, and then
say these men would have to look up
To- Willard.
Willard and Jones remained in the
city several hours and made num-
ber Of friends who believe he will be
returned the winner when he and
Johnson meet in Juarez.
AS matter Of comparison stand
with your back against the wall,
stretch out your arms to the extreme
limit, then let someone take a tape
measure or yard stick and mea-
sure the distance from the tips of
your fingers of the right and left
hands that will be your reach in the
parlance Of the ring. Jess Willard,
the man who has been selected to
wrest the heavyweight title from
Jack Johnson, has a reach of S3 l-2
inches, Just for comparison sake,
have yourself measured and see
what a veritable giant Willard is in
contrast. Jock Johnson is 6 feet l-2
inch tall and his reach measures ~
l-2 inches. just five inches less than
the man who is to be his next oppon-
ent.
What has the leugth of "a man 3
reach got to do with the next world :
championship battle? You will ask.
Well, il will mean a whole lot in this
particular instance, for Willard has
youth on his side by 10 years. He is
equally as strong as johnson. can hit
as hard, and the man who can al
ways land first will likely be return
ed the winner. II Willard has the
courage TO take the chance, do the
leading, use his extra five inches of
reach and force the bout the world
is almost sure to have u new heavy
weight champion before the sun sets
on March 6 at Juarez, Mexico.
The FL Paso Herald has the follow
ing TO say about the arrival of Will

Big Jess was held up by the de-
