INVESTIGATION OF FIRE ON

CREDITED.

HAVRE, March "a rigid inves-
tigation of the fire which swept the
French liner Latouraine has been or
dered by the authorities. In spite OF
this announcement the owners secuted
the idea that the fire was started by
a German spy. The captain, discuss
ing the fire, praised the American
doctors and nurses on board.
"They were the coolest lot / ever
saw" he said. with the flames un-
der their feet they found time to

Good Fruit Crops

This is the first year that
Curry County farmers can boast
of "a big fruit crop as well as
other bumper crops. The rea-
son, primarily, is because it is
the first year that most of the
orchards have been old enough
to bear. Heretofore this county
has imported its fruits principal
ly from the Pecos Valley and
California. 1t is now estimated
that the home product will
supply our present needs. Many
trees right here in Clovis are
bearing abundantly and in many
instances it is necessary to prop
up the fruit laden branches.
We have never laid claim to be.
ing a fruit country, but if a
repetition of this years crop is
of frequent occurance, we will
also have to add new lauriels to
our agricultural fame.

Died From Operation

W. Pierce aged AZ. of Mule
shoe. Texas, died from the
effects of an operation for ap-
pendicitis at the Santa Fe hos
pital Friday night and the re-
mains were sent to Vernon Texas
for burial. Pierce, who was a
Texas ranchman, was first
striken when forty miles from a
railroad. He was rushed to a
physician and later to the Clovis
hospital. Two operations were
necessary and his only chance of
recovery was in the second oper-
alton from which he failed to
rally. His brother, druggist,
from Vernon and Chillicothe,
Texas, arrived Saturday to ac-
company the remains with the
family of the deceased to its last
resting place. The Magic City
Furniture Company prepared
the body for shipment.

Big Grain Shipment

w. w. White has shipped
eighteen cars of threshed maize
and kafiir from Clovis to eastern
points in the past ten days. The
Clovis Mill and Elevator Com
pany have shipped about twenty
five cars of grain in the past
month. Other dealers have
made like heavy shipments. A
few months ago, it was the
other way - the grain W a S
shipped in. Now it is going cut
and the exports are growing by
leaps and bounds. Melrose and
Texico- Farwell in this county
are also making large grain ship
ments. There is not a section
in the west that is coming to the
front as fast as Curry County
New Mexico.

Hunting Cows

The cattlemen of the west are
all getting back into the breed
ing game as rapidly as possible.
The demand for breeding stock
is far in excess of the supply,
and many western cattlemen are
looking forward to the annual
National Western Stock Show,
which opens in Denver on jan
uary 18th, expecting to be able
t o purchase choice breeding
stock during that week. One OF
the features of this Show is an
exhibition of heifers and bulls in
carloads. At the last Show
there were over two hundred
cars of choice heifers on exhi-
bition, all of which sold. At the
coming Snow it is expected
there will be more than double
that number, and with the pres
ent demand an active trade is
expected,

which he is said to have confess.

against him. Pollard arrived in
Clovis in March and secured en-
ployment as a boiler maker. In
April he secured a pass from
the Santa Fe for transportation
to Albuquerque and return for
himself a ID wife. In Albu-
querque he met his future in
tended, a widow, and they were
married. 1t was under the
charge of unlawfully securing
transportation for his wife, who
was not then his wife, that he
was arrested. This is in viola
tion to the interstate commerce
law. From the time he landed
in Clovis in April. his first wife.

government authorities on his
trail from Utah to Ell Paso and
finally to Clovis. They had the
evidence all complete before
they made the arrest, as is
customary in government cases.

worked up the evidence here
finally secured the confession
from the prisoner when he was
confronted with the evidence.

that he had been deceiving her
all the time and had said that
the Denver woman was his
mother. lie met and courted
the second wife in Denver and
she finally followed him to Albu-
querque for the purpose Of mar
riage. She disclaims any knowl-
edge of the method of securing
transportation or that he was to
secure it at all.

Important
Land Office Ruling

In eastern and northe astern
New Mexico many citizens of
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
have filed on public land in re.
cent years before they became
citizens of the state. To be-
come a bona fide citizen of New
Mexico one must live in the
state a year, but what consti-
tutes a resident the ruling does
not say. Many construe the
meaning of resident and citizen
as the same, but it is not. A
citizen may enjoy the right to
vote while one may become a
resident by abiding in a COM
munity a day and night.
The commissioner of the gen.
eral land office at Washington
has set the important precedent
that a person in order to file on
public land, must be a resident
of the state in which the land is
situated. The decision is the
case of William H. Gregg, who
filed on 160 acres of desert land
in the San Simon Valley. Charles
H. Brooks contested on the
grounds that Gregg is not a
resident of the state. The land
office decided in favor of Gregg.
but Brooks appealed and won
out.

Our Home Company

The New Mexico Mutual Life
And Aid Association, whose
phenominal growth of nearly
three hundred members within
thirty days, speaks volumes for
the success of the enterprise.
The provision for death, acci-
dent, old age and disability
benefits, makes its plan attrac-
tive as an insurance proposition,
while its low cost places it with
in easy reach of everyone. AS
we Understand it. the organiza-
tion is purely mutual and the
cost to everyone is the same. 1t
furnishes protection at its mini
mum cost; it limits its member
ship to local surroundings; it re-
tains the money at home; pro-
vides for the family upon death
of the insured or pays a benefit
to the insured in case of accident
or old age. The plan has been
thoroughly tried out in Texas,
and numbers among its members
some of its rlost enthusiastic
supporters. Its officers are well
known and capable business
men, and those responsible for
the management of its affairs
are bonded to secure the safe
keeping and proper disburse-
ment of its funds. All recog-
nice the necessity for insurance
and all will appreciate the chance
to obtain it at its minimum cost.
The company is worthy Of inves-
tigation. 1t
