U. s. SILENT AS TO REQUEST
TO CROSS INTO MEXICO

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 3.-Secre-
tary Of war Garrison today refused to
confirm or deny that Gen. Funston
had asked for authority to enter Mex
leo in case Of military exigency and
the white house was also silent. II
was made clear at the war depart
ment that the American commander
already has authority TO return any
fire from across the border.
The latest report from Gen Funs-
ton said there was an unconfirmed
rumor that the Villa forces were with
drawing toward Nogales from the at
tack on Aqua Prieta. The message
was sent late Tuesday night. Gen.
Funston has authority TO dispose his
troops as he deems best TO protect
American lives and property without
reference to the war department. II
1t should be decided to permit him to
cross the border, however, il will rest
with President Wilson whether any
change in orders will be made public.

WEINIE ROAST

About thirty young folks chaper-
oned by Mesdames Davis and Grange,
left Tucumcari last Wednesday night
and drove to the Revuelto bridge east
of town and proceeded to enjoy what
they called a "Weinie Roast" which
was prepared after their arrival at the
bridge. The young men rustled the
wood while the ladies prepared the
coffee and other eats. II was reported
that two boys after being gone for
half hour or 80, came In with one
lone stick about half the length Of a
broom stick.
Anyhow enough wood was rounded
up to roast the weinies and allow the
picnicers to eat and start for home
shortly after IL o'clock. There were
six cars in the crowd and each was
well loaded but the trip was made in
80 to 45 minutes by all the cars and
they arrived home In time to give a
dance at the Elks Club.
Those owning the cars and driving
same were Messrs. Davis, James, Corn
Goldenberg, Coulter and Simmons. We

VILLA RETREATS

Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 3-Gen. Fran
cisco Villa, forced by hunger, thirst
and scanty supply Of ammunition
to abandon his plan for an immediate
assault on the strongly entrenched
village of Aqua Prieta, commenced
withdrawing his army early this morn
ing and shortly after o'clock most
Of his force were on the way to Ami
vacachi pass, IL miles southwest.
IL is his apparent intention to reach
water, which is plentiful farther to
the southwest, and reprovision his
hungry men.
Gen. Mendez, with force of about
1900 men, has been holding the pass
for several days and will remain there
guarding the entrance to the valley
for the return of Villa.
That Villas determination tempo
rarily to withdraw his forces from the
vicinity Of Aqua Prieta was sudden,
was shown by the fact that his gun
lieutenants in command Of the rapid
firers near the slaughter house on the
right wing took nothing but their
guns with them. A quantity of am
munition in cases was left in the en-
placements when the withdrawal COM
menced.

than eight hundred children enrolled
in the Tucumcari Public schools. When
the school district enumeration list
was filed with the County Superintend-
ent OF Schools there we're 965 chill
dren OF school age in the District. This
number has increased until there are
without doubt more than one thous-
and children Of school age in the dis
trict at the present time. More than
one hundred children between the ages
OF five and seven years have been
temporarily refused admission to the
first two grades Of school on account
Of the crowded conditions existing in
these grades. Most of these children
moved into the district from a month
to six weeks after the beginning OF
school and will be admitted at the be-
ginning of the second semester of the
school year. Judging from present IN
dications, the enrolment after the
Christmas holidays will reach $50 or
1000 students. The present High
School enrolment is l18 students, al
most double the enrolment for any
previous year.

BARNES 8 RANKIN SELL
TO GOLOENBERC CO.
BIG FIRM REACHING OUT FOR
MORE BUSINESS AND NEEDS
MORE ROOM-WILL SELL
EVERYTHING

The M. B. Goldenberg Co. purchased
the entire stock of furniture, hard
ware, and saddlery from Barnes
Rankin this week and have been busy
taking inventory preparatory to max
ing the transfer.
Barnes d Rankin was one of the old
est firms doing business in Tucumcar
and the owners were here when the
town was commenced and sold their
land in town lots. They conducte,
"A nice store and had one of the finest
buildings and show windows in the
city. Both Mr.. barnes and Mr.. Ran.
kin feel their age ind health would
not justify them remaining in ousi-
ness so they decided to sell and Mr.
Barnes will retire ror time at least
until he regains his health. Mr.. Ran
kin will remain with the Godenberg
Co. and assist them in the furniture
department and collect accounts for
his former firm or as much as posi-
BILE.
The Golderberg Company needs no
introduction to the public as this firm
has been doing business in Tucumcari
and Quay county for more than fifteen
years, and the fact that they have
purchased this other big store and in
tend to spread out shows that their
business has been successful in every
way.
They will use the building now oc-
cupied by them for groceries, hard
ware and furniture. The west side
will be the grocery department to-
gether with the meat market. The
east half will be used for hardware
and furniture under the supervision Of
Messrs. Dismules and Rankin.
A new building will be placed be-
tween the Goldenberg and Barnes&
Rankin buildings and this will he used
as the Offices and the cashiers depart
ment. New baskets and wires will
be installed from all parts of the
store and full equipment for quick and
reliable service.
The Barnes Il Rankin building will
be used for the dry goods and cloth
ing departments and modern equip
ment installed.
A car load of furniture was pur-
chased Tuesday and will arrive in
plenty Of time to be installed in the
room which will be prepared for it.
In the mean time the Goldenberg
Company intend to put on special
sale to get rid of all goods purchased
by them in order to allow the workmen
to begin work on the store-building
putting everything in readiness for u
mammoth business. They have faith
in Tucumcari and Quay county and
no doubt have made wise deal in
taking over the business of Messrs.
Barnes and Rankin.

TEXAN KILLED IN YARDS
BY SWITCH ENGINE
WAS ENROUTE TO LAS TANOS
WITH SHIPMENT OF CATTLE
FOR MIR. ROBERTSON OF
SANTA ROSA

Another horrible accident happened
in the yards early Saturday morning
when G. w. Thompson of Wichita
Falls, Texas, was run over and killed
by a switch engine.
Mr.. Thompson was in charge of n
shipment Of cattle from a Mr.. Rober-
son Of Wichita Falls to his son, Harry
Robertson of Santa Rosa and the cattle
were consigned to Las Tanos, where
they were unloaded. When the train
reached Tucumcari, we understand, the
conductor awakened Mr.. Thompson,
who was sleeping in the caboose, and
asked him to look after his cattle, TO
see II they were all right. He got off
the caboose just as the east-bound pas
senger train, No. 3, was coming in
from FL Paso. There was only one
witness to the accident, and this wit
ness said Mr.. Thompson was watching
the passenger engine and stepped back
on the track just ahead Of the switch
engine which was passing and was
knocked down, the wheels passing over
his body just above the hips and cut
him in two.
The body was picked up and taken
10 the undertaking parlors Of M. II.
Koch and prepared for burial. Rela-
tives were notified and Mr.. Robertson
Of Santa Rosa answered and requested
the remains be shipped to his father
who lives in Wichita Falls. He said
Mr.. Thompson was slightly deaf and
perhaps that accounts to u certain ex-
tent for the accident.
