Evangelist Mcintosh
Drawing Big Crowds

The Methodist revival meet
ings conducted daily at the
Methodist Church by evangelist
Mcintosh and singer Anderson
are attracting wide spread at.
tention. T h e services both
morning and evening are large
ly attended and many conver.
tions are being made. There
was such a crowd to hear this
great southern evangelist a
Sunday nights meeting that
many turned away unable to ge
even standing room. Mcintosh
is a sure enough evangelist and
has style peculiarly his own.
He does not beat around the
bush in what he has to say but
comes right out and flights the
devil in the open criticising
everything and anything which
he thinks is not to Gods benefit.
Lucian Anderson is an Impress
i've singer, as was evidenced
Sunday morning after singing
one of his favorite hymns, tears
were seen on the cheeks of many
in the congregation. The re-
vival meetings are being attend
ed by the members of all the
Clovis churches and will last at
least until Sunday night.

Clovis -Portales Road

T. j. Molinari, of Portales,
was in the city Tuesday en- route
to Santa Fe on business and in
conversation with a News re-
porter said, that the work on the
Clovis. Portales road was now in
progress in earnest and that the
road camp looked like. an army
encampment. They are now
working a few miles this side of
Portales coming this way and
are fixing the road up in good
shape by covering the sand with
several feet of limestone clay
which will pack down and make
the best kind of a highway and
will not blow. This roadway
which it was originally intended
to make eight feet has been
widened to twelve feet and in
the difficult places sidings will
be graded. 1t will now be only
a matter of a few weeks until
vehicles of all kinds and autos
can make the trip in a few hours.
The distance between the two
points is only about twenty
miles. This connecting road is
expected to prove Of great bene-
fit to both towns and bring our
business interests into closer re-
lationship.

Up in Iowa the other sensible
idea in legislation appears, in
the introduction of the anti
treating law, which would pro-
vide a penalty for any man who
buys another a drink. What
harm there is in the drinking
custom comes principally from
the treating habit. Man is a
gregarious animal. He loves to
mingle with his fellows, and to
consume that which cheers in
rotation. AS a result when good
fellows set together the treats
go around and every one gets
more than is good for him. If
it were so established that he
could buy only that which he de-
sires for his own use, he would
seldom buy more than Que, and
the convival souse would be eX.
tinct, no one would be harmed,
and only good would result.
These remarks are prompted by
more than an academic knowl-
edge of the subject, beloved.
There is absolutely no argument
against the proposed law, while
it bristles with reason. 1t would
still leave man a free moral
agent, in no wise conflict with
his liberty, and yet would re-
move that feature of the impulse
that does the most harm. Take
away the power to treat or the
right to be treated, and the
average man would buy what he
wanted for himself and no more.
1t would be hard on the bar
flies" and the good fellow, but
it would be easier on everybody
else. - Exchange.
The best solution would be to
entirely prohibit its manufac-
ture.

General Moving

The Klein Grocery Company
this week moved into the build
ing opposite the postoffice which
was until recently occupied by
the Model Grocery. This move
was made necessary for the
reason that the Central Meat
Company raised the rent and got
the building and are now NOV
ing into it. The same tactics
were employed by A. J. Whiting
who will occupy the Croft build
ing being vacated by the meat
market. The Mandell Dry
Goods and Clothing Company
starred the humping and it has
been a case of bump all along
the line but now matters appear
to be settled again for the time
being.

Portales. Clovis Road
Will be Wider

The Portales Clovis road was
commenced with but an eight
foot road bed with wider places
for p assing at stated intervals.
Thus constructed, this road
could never be anything but a
failure. Mr.. A. A. Rogers took
the matter up with State En-
gineer j. A. French, with the
result that Mr.. Marius. the en-
gineer in charge, has been in
structed to widen the road bed
to twelve instead of eight feet.
Also the sidings will pe main
tanned. This will be a great
Improvement over the eight
foot trail, but it would have
been much better to have made
it sixteen feet. With the wild
er road bed it would not be nee
sssary for vehicles to follow so
closely in each others track s
and consequently, will not cut
up so quick. The News is
glad to note that this improve
ment has been ordered and
some credit is due to to Mr..
Rogers for bringing it about.

Clovis is the center of the
most densly populated section of
the state and while other towns
may have a large trading terri
tory, if population is considered,
our town has them all outclassed.
Clovis is the trading and market
ing center for all this section of
the country and in addition has
a r. X. pay roll of $75, 1000. 90

a live town and will continue to
grow.

particularly this recomm nl;-
ton to the court; the court de-
sires to say that he is very much
surprised. The court has tried
no case since he has been on the
bench for more than three years
that has created the surprise in
the mind of the court that this
recommendation and this yer.
dict carries to'.the court. The
court is OF the impression and
the opinion that the testimony
in this case would support a YER
dict of murder in the first de
gree or guilty of murder in the
first degree. The defendants
own testimony would warrant
the return of a verdict of guilty
of murder, in the second degree
and the question of manslaugh-
ter has very slight bearing in
tie matter. This is a serious
matter, gentlemen; the court
hasn't had time to think over
the matter, but as stated to you
it is very much of a surprise to
him. The court, however, is
satisfied that it would be a waste
of the taxpayers money of Curry
county to retain this jury longer
in an attempt to prosecute
crimina IS. There is no question
in the courts mind as to this,
and the court, while he would
prefer to take a little time to
consider the matter, yet his i'm
pressions are so forcible and so
accurate touching this matter
under all the evidence in the
case and the instructions of this
court, that the court feels now
and can not escape from the
conclusion that it is his duty to
discharge this jury from further
service, and in the future for
that matter and see that your
names are not in the jury wheel,
and he now discharges this jury
from further attenda nee and
service in this court permanent.
ly and absolutely, and also from
further service in this case.
The court can see and under
stand when a-iury under the
evidence in this case will bring
in a verdict of mot guilty"-he
can see and knows enough of |
human nature to understand
whv it is and how it is that good
citizens sometime become so dis
gusted and so outraged with
the administration of justice
that they take the law in their
own hands and hang fellows
guilty of such crimes as charg
ed in this case. The court can
readily understood that when a
verdict of this character under
this evidence and under the in
structions of the court is
brought in.
There is no excuse. no justi-
fication for this murder. 1t is
cold bloodeL; it is an outrage
that the people of Curry County
must have to suffer with this
kind of administration of JUS
tice.
Now, gentlemen, as | said in
the beginning, this verdict is a
surprise to the court. He would
liked to have had more time to
consider the matter and think
over it, but in view of all the
evidence, in view of the state
ments of this guilty defendant
himself made in your presence
as to how he murdered and
killed this man, the court | say,
cannot understand how any such
a verdict could be arrived at,
and you and each Of you are
now discharged from further
service as jurors in this case and

VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY
/ in TAYLOR CASE
Stirring Rebuke Administered by Court to Jurymen Who
are Discharged from Further Attendance
Verdict Unpopular.

After celebrating over night
The jury in the case OF Herschel
Taylor charged with the murder
of Arthur E. Britton, returned a
verdict cf not guilty Thursday
morning when court convened
The announcement of this ver-
dict came as a distinct surprise
10 most of those who had heard
all the evidence in the case.
Arthur Britton was the night
marshal at TeXico and was MUIR
dered by Herschel Taylor at the
Red Light" district in Texico
on the night of October IL, 1914,
The defendant claimed self de-
tense and admitted shooting the
deceased, who the testimony
showed to have been unarmed
and who was attempting to dis
arm the defendant at the time
the shooting aCcurred. 1t was
also shown by preponderance
of evidence that the defendant
mad gone TO the resort armed
and had made threats against
Luther Hughes, who it appeared,
was keeping company with his
girl. The defendant contradict
ed his own testimony on more
than one instance ald had ad
mitted serving a sentence for
burglary in the GatesvlIle Texas
reformatory. HIS only occupa-
tion was that of a gambler and
his principal witnesses were
Pearl Snyder, his girl, whom he
folloJ I'D to Texico from San
Angelo, Texas, and Ohio Muir
ply, the latter his friend who
assisted him IN relieving a
drunken stranger OF some $40. 00
in money and two watches which
1t appears from the testimony
stirred up the wrath of the mar
shal and ultimately resulted in
the killing. I h e defendant
claimed that the marshal made a
move toward his hip ana that he
(this defendanD with gun IN
hand cried out, Don't come on
to me, Don't come onto me,
Don't come onto me, If you do
Twill have 10 kill you. You had
the advantage of me last night
so don't come onto me for If you
do will have to kill you With
this he alleges that the deceased
continued to approach and he
fired two shots of which both
took effect.
Both the state and the defense
made supreme efforts and exert
ed every ounce of energy to win
their contentious. L he ad-
dresses made by Attorney Un-
derwood of Amarillo and District
attorney K. X. Scott for the
state and by Attorneys o. o.
Askren, of Roswell and H. d.
Terrell, of Silver City. for the
defense were masterful. Prob
ably never before in the history
of Curry county cases have such
efforts been made and the yer.
dict is considered nothing short
of a victory for the attorneys for
the defense. The most stirring
rebuke ever administered by any
court to a Curry county jury was
giveE by Judge Mcclure after
the verdict had be en- announced.
1t follows:
The COURTS REBUKE
Immediately following the re-
turn of the verdict of not guilty
and the recommendation that
the court admonish the defend
ant as to his future life and as
sociates, the court said the fol-
lowing to the jury:
Now, gentlemen of the jury,
in reference to this matter and
