change Telegraph company from Am
sterdam:

MAN sCALDED ATFACTORY

A man by the name Of Gomez was
badly scalded Monday morning when
he accidentally slipped into the hot
water vat which is used at the fibre
factory in the first process of prepar-
ing the bear grass for the manufac-
ture Of fibre.
He was brought up to the physi-
clans hospital where he was given the
best possible treatment. He vas suf-
fering quite bit but il is thought the
man will soon recover.
Gomez has been working at the
factory and was well acquainted with
the surroundings but accidentally step
ped into the vat. This vat is about
four feet deep and had it not been
that II was partly full of bear grass
Gomez would probably been scalded
to death, but as it was he was only
burned up to the knees on both legs.
The water contains some ammonia
which would make ii moro harmful
and he was lucky to come out with
his life.
This factory is full of danger as is
other manufacturing establishments.
and IL is no place for any person TO
be unless he be careful all the time.

WITH THE "ROUNDERS"

A club was organized sometime ago
which call themselves the Wolves"
This club was entertHped at the home
of c. b. Hamilton la%Thursday night
and the full membership was present
with the exception of Frank Lieben-
dorfer and his place was filled by our
popular county treasurer, Lee G. Pear
son.
This club spends most of the time
in playing games, smoking, eating
and drinking coffee. II seems that
Mr.. Pearson likes coffee very much
but it does not agree with him to take
on too much during the night and be-
ing of nature to stay with the crowd
it is said he drank so much that when
he went home he could not sleep. The
next day he went TO work as usual
and about three in the afternoon he
began to get sleepy and was forced to
go home and sleep off his delayed
slumber. Another member of the club
was supposed to be sick for two days
but he does not attribute him ailment
to strong coffee.

AMERICAS MUST STAY TO.
GETHER SAYS CONFERENCE

Washington. d. c. May 25-.The
Americas for America was n wall of
inviolability that no European nation
shall dare TO violate, was the slogan
sounded today at the Pan-American
financial conference by DR.. Santiago
Perez Triana, delegate from Colom-
bia.
In "a speech that stirred the confer
ence, tho Colombian delegate pictured
the prime minister of an unnamed Eu-
ropean nation. faced with the prob
lens of over-population and restricted
territory at home, working for the
conquest of the untouched fields Of
the western hemisphere.
1--WE in America" he said, should
be prepared TO make our inviolability
stronger every day. We have seen
what that inviolability means by this
war. There may be distrust even in
loving families. There may be dark
corners in the past history of this
continent, but let us see that in the
future our harmony is diaphanous,
transparent and clear. Let the ma
tions here represented in solemn and
formal fashion make il manifest that
none of them covet the territory of
any other and that the homes and
territory of each shall be respected"

WHEAT DOING EXCELLENT

Jim Jordan was in from the plains
this week and said the wheat was in
excellent condition but needed rain.
He said il would make some grain
but If they received rain within a
few days they would have bumper
Yield.
Well, the rains came and the plains
got its share and now that part Of
the county Is bound to be the most
prosperous country on earth. provided
big hail storm does not follow.
There are thousands Of acres of
wheat and the prices are bound to
be high because the great Euro
pean war is far from the end and this
country will have to supply the fight
ing countries with their bread stuff
A number Of threshing outfits have
been purchased to use in getting the
grain ready for market at the earliest
poscihle moment. Binders will soon
be started and the golden grain will
begin to bring in the coin to be used
in improving the farms of the plains
and purchasing new and improved ma
chinery with which the farmers may
put in more acreage and therby make
more money from their lands.

FINE RAIN HERE DID
NOT EXTEND TO THE
MAIN WHEAT BELT

ID. ID. Branson was in from Kirk to-
day and says the rain did not reach
that part Of the plains and he don't
think IL touched the wheat belt at Nc
Alister because Jordan reports no rain
there.
The rain is not over and will per-
haps reach that part of the county
before the end of the week.
The farmers Of the valley this side
of the plains have not been suffering
for rain and could have waited few
weeks longer and would have been
glad to have accommodated their fell
low farmers on the plains.
Heavy hail was reported from the
Dodson district and plenty of rain at
Curry, Ina and other places in that
vicinity.
Lightning struck the line between
here and Quay and communication
was delayed until today.
The rain did not reach the logan
country. but il seems to have taken
more of a northerly course because
IL reached Roy, Mosquero, and Daw-
son to the north, and Montoya, Cuervo
and Newkirk to the west.

RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNED

Trains were delayed Saturday on ac-
count of a railroad bridge which was
burned near Montoya.
A Mexican who had just driven un-
der the bridge it is said had gate
by which he entered n place belong
ing to himself. A lot Of tumble weeds
had lodged against the fence and gate,
so he thought the easiest way to make
an opening was TO burn the weeds.
He lighted a match and set fire to the
weeds. Everything was going fine
when a big gust Of wind carried a
bunch of the burning weeds to the big
railroad bridge and it was soon on
fire. No. z, the west bound Tucumcari
FL Paso passenger was due in a few
minutes and perhaps could have pass
ed over safely but the trainmen took
no chances and after finding il impos-
sible to extinguish the flames, return
ed to Tucumcari.
The bridge was soon patched up
and trains were running by Saturday
night.

GOOD SAMARITAN HURT

Santa Rosa, N. NJ, May 25-As the
result Of playing the role of "Good
Samaritan" Regime Gutierrez, a well
known one-legged resident of this city
is under treatment by physician.
While on the way to this place from
Fort Sumner with load of freight
on his wagon drawn by team of
mules, Gutierrez found an automobile
belonging TO an Oklahoman stuck in
the mud near Juan de Dios. He took
the mules from the wagon and hitch
ed them to the car, and then proceeded
to get the Oklahoman out of his diff
Guilty. AS the mules strained in their
collars and gave the car start, Gu
tierrez lost his balance and fell, the
wheels Of the machine passing over
one arm and his leg. No bones were
broken, but he was painfully cut and
bruised, and his suffering has been in
tense. He was brought here by the

GOLDENBERG,s BuRGLARIzED

Goldenberg's store was entered by
burglars last Monday night and a
few articles taken from the clothing
department. The money drawer in
the cashiers Office was left unlocked
but the burglar never molested it, al
though il had several dollars in it.
The back door was forced open by
prying off part of the door jamb and
the breaking the lock.
II is thought the burglar was home

watched and if they are found out
il would be better for them to make n
hasty retreat from this city.
New locks were put on the doors
and everything made safe and you can
bet your sweet life the money is re-
moved from the cashiers drawer ev-
cry evening. Those in charge mt the
store are taking no chances on the re-
turn Of the thief.

RAILROADS SOAK SHIPPERS

Roy A. Prentice, an attorney of Tu-
cumcari, has complained to the state
corporation commission that the rail-
roads are making practice of collect
ing additional charges at destination
points on prepaid freight. He states
that j. B. Flores, who recently made
"a shipment from Tulia, Texas, to Tu-
cumcari, on which he paid S54.30 in
advance, was assessed $4.l6 additional
before the shipment was delivered at
its destination. Also, Mr.. Prentice
says he personally made a shipment
of glassware to Roswell, paying $ll
in advance, and at Roswell $500 ad-
ditional was collected. He asks for
action by the corporation commission
and the matter now is being taken up
with the railroad authorities. Santa

PRAIRIE sCHOONERs

Saturday morning reminded us of
the early days. Eight or ten prairie
schooners were in line up on the cor
ner by the bank. The occupants were
from the east and had come 20 this
country to locate. The whole country
is now dotted with these immigrants
people are coming from Texas, Okla
homa, Kansas, Colorado and elsewhere
looking for homes. The public domain
is being rapidly gobbled up by the
homesteaders. The reason for IL all
seems to be: Dry farming is prov
ing success, land in other states has
reached too high a figure, and IL ap-
pears that New Mexico is rapidly
emerging from the arid condition she
has long been under and gaining rep
utation far and wide as the land of
promise with abundance of moisture.
The day Of the vast areas of open
range with its millions of cattle and
sheep grazing on the free domain has
passed, and now the plow Is turning
the sod, fences are being built, farm
houses and barns are springing up in
II night. Where grazed the wild steer
we are now noticing the graded dairy
COW browsing, not realizing the i'm
portant part she is playing in the
great transformation. That this new
country is changing rapidly there Is
no denying. With the present influx
of new settlers, one can but imagine
what this country will look like in
ten years hence. IL will certainly
be most wonderful change.
The court house yard in this city
will be a dense forest ten years from
now IL the trees are left TO grow. In
many parts of the city the trees will
be so thick the sun will hardly pene-
trate to the ground. Tucumcari has
made wonderful progress in the last
ten years and will make just as big a
change in the next because the citi-
zens are becoming more accustomed
to this climate and the mode Of liv-
ing and are satisfied that New Mexico
is the most healthfu state in the
whole country. The man who works
is making n good living. The rail-
road men draw larger pay for their
services than they could possibly do
in the east.

II is now more than half century
since the clouds Of war rolled away
let US hope forever, from our fair
land. The lessons Of peace have EN-
phasized the horrors of war. A uni.
ted people now gladly do honor to all
both living and dead, who risked their
lives for the sake of home and coun.
try. "The animosities perish; the
humanities are eternal"
Now, therefore, ! William c. Nc.
Donald, governor Of the State Of New
Mexico. do hereby proclaim,
SUNDAY, MAY 30, 1915
AS MEMORIAL DAY
in the State Of New Mexico, and re-
quest that all of our people lay aside
their ordinary tasks so far as this
may reasonably be done; that they
unite with the patriotic organizations
in an earnest, genuine observance of
the day, that the schools prepare such
exercises as shall impress upon the
young mind the glory of the past, and
the respect and honor due those who
played such noble part in the great
drama, and at the same time empha-
size above all things the blessings of
peace and good will among nations
and men.

SECURITY COMPANY SUED

State Bank failure was heard today
when n $4,000 damage suit was filed
in the U. S. District clerks Office by
Richard Coulson, trustee; Bertha
Smith Coulson, Evelyn Byrd Smith
Welch and Elliott Poe Smith, devi-
sees under the last will and testament
of A. Wilkes Smith, deceased, versus
the Fidelity and Deposit Company Of
Maryland. 1t is on removal from
Quay county. 1t appears from the
complaint that Hugh Swift was trus-
tee of the estate Of A. Wilkes Smith
and that the Fidelity and Deposit Co,
of Maryland went his surety. Swift
was president of the defunct First
State Bank of Tucumcari. Swift is
now serving term in the New Mex

THE RAIN CAME

T. A. Muirhead pulled off his big
sale Saturday and Monday and en-
joyed good business. The usual rain
failed to come so Mr.. Muirhead said
he was determined to bring it, so he
planned to go out on u fishing trip
and started yesterday morning. He
said rain would sure come before
Saturday. and it did. About the time
he and his family reached the river
the rain struck Tucumcari and was
headed that way.
He and his family intend to remain
on their outing for about three days
providing the rain does not cause them
to change their minds. While we are
in need Of plenty of rain just now
we hope this party enjoys their big
fish fry and the wheat raisers on the
plains south of town receive the bulk
of the rain.

LATE WAR NEWS

Italy has invaded Austria. Official
announcement was made by the war
Office at Rome today that Italian for
ces had penetrated Austrian territory
along a line running about 40 miles
north from the gulf of Trieste, cap
turing four towns within two or three
miles of the frontier.
An Italian destroyer raided the Aus
trian port of Boso, near the frontier,
destroying the landings, railroad sta
tion and barracks. Two Austrians
were killed, the first casualties off,
cially reported in the new campaign.
II is regarded in London as prob
able that the Austro- German army
will make the first important move by
striking at the Italian center in the
direction of Verona.
Heavy fighting is in progress once
more on the western end Of the French
Belgian front. British, German and
French forces are making attacks at
variouss point between Arras and the
coast. There is as yet no sign, how
ever, Of general assault by the allies
such as has been predicted.
Dispatches from Athens reiterate
the report that the Turkish attack on
Gallipoli peninsula, made with the
pick of the Ottoman army, was fail
ure. II is stated that wounded Turk
ish soldiers, by the thousands, are ar
irving in Constantinople and that all
assaults have been repulsed by the
allies.
One of the Austrian warships which
took part in yesterdays attack on the
east coast Of Italy is believed in Rome
to have been damaged. The ministry
Of marine announced that a steamer
had sighted an Austrian warship with
a heavy list, and that IL probably was
the vessel which attacked Barletta and
was driven off.
Eight attacks were made by the
Germans Tuesday between Arras in
northern France and the Belgian coast
The French official statement of to-
day asserts all three attacks were re-
pulsed and that heavy losses were in
flicted on the Germans.

SOME PORK ER FROM HUDSON

Geo. ". Bell, who lives near Hud-
son, reports the fact that the farmers
of this county and state can raise just
as good hogs as the eastern farmers.
The other day he brought one to this
place and sold it on the market. II
was six months old and had been fed
nothing but homegrown grain. Az
ter it was dressed it weighed 1913 lbs.
lie says the actual cost of bringing
the pig up to the present size was
about $500, and the cash he got in
exchange for II was $3.50, and he
kept the liver, etc. This shows a good
profit in raising hogs.

REvUELTO BRIDGE READY

The big Revuelto bridge which con-
meets Tucumcari with the east part
of the county, is about complete and
as soon as the flooring arrives il will
he ready to use.
Geo. Tate who has been handling
the county's part of the building, says
the bridge is up there to stay unless
the water gets higher than it has ever
been known. The approach is done
and the workmen have finished their
duties until the arrival Of the floor
ing which is looked for at any mo-
ment. Then the people from the east
will have no difficulty in coming from
Amarillo TO this place as the creek
was about the worst place between
here and Oklahoma City.
