STREET PAVING
Improvement Started This Week and
Big Gang Is At Work

To Contractor Sherwood the unusual
rainfall of May and early June has been
of more benefit than it has the farmers
in this irrigated section, as it has soft
ened up Main street and made the
ground much easier to work than had
been expected.
Bright and early on Monday morning
Mr.. Sherwood began work upon his
contract for grading and surfacing
Main street, and his work so far is
bearing out his assertion that he would
push the work along until Rocky Ford
could point with pride" to its main
thorofare, which will when completed
be as fine roadway as any macadam-
lied street in the land.
Every team that can be procured has
been put to work with plows. scrapers
grading machines, ETC., and every idle
man that shows up has been given a
job with pick or shovel, and in conse-
quence Main street today is the busiest
place in the whole countryside.

STATE BANK AFFAIRS
Are Believed to be Under Way To-
ward an Early Settlement
By Receiver

G. M. Hall, receiver for the State
Bank of Rocky Ford, came in from
Idaho on Friday last, and has since
been engaged in arranging for the
finale of all matters connected with
the defunct bank.
A compromise is being arranged be-
tween the Godding interests and Re-
ceiver Hall and it has reached point
where it is practically assured that a
cash settlement will be made and suits
against John E. Godding and wife will
be dismissed and quit claim deeds be
given the Goddines for the bank build
ing and residence.
According to present plans the final
details will be prepared this week and
the transfer take place early next
week. This will leave the receiver
with few lots that can speedily be
disposed of, when he will be prepared
to declare final dividend and secure
his dismissal from the court.

NORMAL INSTITUTE
Has Kept a Large Crowd In Fowler
for About Two Weeks

About all of the resident teachers,
many of our high school graduates, the
school directors and a number inter-
ested in educational affairs, for por-
ton of the time at least, have been in
attendance at the normal institute
which closed last evening in Fowler.
This institute is reported to have been
the most largely attended, most ms
tructive and interesting that has ever
been held in the Eighth Normal district,
which includes the counties of Baca,
Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Otero and Prov
ers.
Amongst the instructors last week
Rocky Ford contributed County Super
intendent Phillips and Prof. l. E. Will
son, principal of the Liberty building,
of whom last weeks Fowler Tribune
had the following to say:
Superintendent Phillips is conduct
ing class in reading and grammar that
is making marked progress. In his treat
ment of the Civil war period he has
elected many fattering comments.
"a growing section has taken up the
agricultural work with Prof. Wilson, ms
tructor in nature study, geography and
agriculture. Prof. Wilson has his work
well organized and the study relates to
practical and economic problems of the
immediate vicinity. The nature study
period. under Prof. Wilson, has aroused
considerable interest in the study of
bird life of this section, in the atmos-
pheric conditions leading to storms aud
hail, and in many of the things so COM
mon yet so little understood by the
majority of people"
On Friday evening. at the Methodist
church, Prof. Wilson lectured on poul-
try and the management of soils in rela-
tion to plant production. This lecture.
with its twofold character, was given in
response to a request from the Fowler
Woman s club and some others who are
interested in rasing poultry. There
was large attendance to listen to the
discussion of these practical subjects.

BAD HOMBRE
Tries to Work a Smooth Forgery
Scheme but Is Apprehended

About the smoothest scheme to obtain
money dishonesty was that attempted
in this city last Saturday by a Mexican
who answered to the name of Juan
Name.
On Saturday afternoon strange
Mexican was observed by the cashier of
the First National bank to be doing
considerable writing at the patrons
desk in that institution, and watch
was kept on the hombre until he de-
parted in nervous haste. Shortly after
ward it was noticed that he had dropped
some paper upon the floor and investi-
cation disclosed two checks for S4s.6O,
apparently drawn by E. A. Hausman in
favor of Juan Name.
Marshal Lane was given one of the
checks and informed of the suspicious
circumstances attending its manufac-
ture. The marshal notified the busi-
nessmen to look out for the fellow, and
about O'Clock that evening was called
to the Overbagh store, reaching there
just as the Mexican left after an un-
successful attempt to cash check.
A chase resulted in the capture of the
hombre near the depot, with the in
eliminating goods used in his nefarious
operations still on his person.
He had letter purporting to have
been written by E. A. Hausman of
Swink to Juan Name, and stating that
he was mailing check for S4S.6O
Herewith. To the letter was pinned a
check for the amount stated, and a
number more just like it in the Mex
leans pockets showed that he was pre-
pared to work the scheme as long as
the letter would hold out, had he not
been caught right at the start.
He was given hearing on the charge
of forgery before Judge Boney on Mon
day and was held to the district court.
