Sunday and after looking the town
over for work he was given job on

Mr.. Dunn used him until Tuesday
night and paid him off with check.
lie thought he would secure n little
more money and proceeded to write
few more checks. The amount on
each check was $1,000. One was turn
ed into cash at the May Bar and the
other was redeemed by Wright & Pat

HIGH SCHOOL AND X. KS
WON GAMES LAST FRIDAY

The basket ball games at the opera
house last Friday night were well at
tended and both games we're hotly
contested and highly interesting from
start to finish.
The preliminary game was played
between the Klassic Klans and Clio
societies Of the High school, The X.
KS won the game after one of the
hardest contests ever pulled off in the
opera house. IL was conceded the X.
KS stood the best show OF winning
but this did not seem to bother the
Clos. They worked steadily and just
before the whistle blew 1t looked as
though they would pass their oppo-
nents, but sudden turn in which the
fast forwards Of the X. K.,' threw two
goals and won the game for their ia
vorite society.
The boys game was fast and fur
ious from start to finish and although
team work was an unknown quantity
to the town boys their much more ex-
perienced opponents did not show any
thing startling. At the end OF the LIST
half the score stood 13 to O in favor Of
the High School.
In the second half both teams show
cd up to a better advantage and the
members of both teams show they are
the right kind Of stuff to make good
team out Of, although little more
work together would be acceptable and
prove Of great value.
These same teams will play again
tomorrow night and the captains say
they are going to spring little sur
prise on the other fellow. New men
will be seen in the lineup and II you
want to get your moneys worth don't
miss this opportunity.

HASTY GETAWAY
WELL KNOWN REsTAURANTER
LEAVES SUDDENLY FOR UN.
KNOWN PARTS-EXPECT.
ED HE WILL RETURN

j. X. Wells, who has been citizen
Of Tucumcari for several years, made
a hasty getaway last Tuesday night.
Ii was said that he went to Amarillo
but nothing has been heard from him
up TO time of going to press.
Mr.. Wells has been n man who en-
ioyed the best of credit and always
paid his bills promptly. He was run
ming restaurant and had only re-
Gently purchased the building and q
lot of new furniture for his place. II
was supposed that he had a good pat
ronage and IL was quite a surprise to
many Wednesday morning when 1t
was found out that he had left town
without settling his bills or giving
any notice why he was doing so.
We understand that there was q
man in town Tuesday and IL seems
that for some reason he was gaining
his wife's affections and therefore
threatened Wells and told him the
town was too small for both and he
recommended it was best for Wells to
vamoose. This is only hearsay and
we do not know il to be true, but we
believe there must be osmething TO It
by the way Wells left without giving
notice to his creditors.
Some of the merchants have already
attached his goods and property and
feel safe of securing their money.
We believe il will only be short
time until Wells will return and every
thing will be settled from a financial
standpoint at least.
