MAN GETS BOTH FEET CUT OFF

A Spaniard by the name Of Alejan-
dro Alando, who was attempting TO
beat his way out of town last night
on stock train east bound on the
Rock Island. was thrown from the
car on which he was trying to board
and the wheels passed over both Of
his feet.
He was taken TO the Physicians
Hospital where both feet were ampu-
tated next to the ankles.
He Is being taken care of by the
city but says he has two brothers To-
Gated Mt Cherryvale, Kansas. He said
he had been in Tucumcari number
OF times and had made trips on the
train between here and Cherryvale,
number Of times.
This man is in serious condition
and no doubt would have been better
of dead because IL he could not make
a success while he had two good feet,
what can he do now without any feet,
no money and perhaps his brothers
cannot assist him financially.
This makes four or FIVE serious les
sons that have been witnessed in the
yards in Tucumcari and every young
man should benefit by this experience
Of others. Try to make an honest
living and when II becomes necessary
for you to travel, ride where IL is safe
and pay for the privilege Of the pro-
lection to your limbs and life.

From the Montoya Republican =

Chas. Dienstbach happened to a
very painful accident Monday while
working on windmill on the Conant
ranch by being struck in the side with
a six-pound sledge hammer. DR.. Jack
son was called to dress the wound.
Mr.. McWilliams, who recently be-
came the owner of the G. w. Brown
place just south of town, arrived in
Montoya from Hamlin Texas, Tues
day with his family. Mr.. McWilliams
was accompanied by Mr.. Cooper and
family of Hamlin, who are looking
for a location.
The editor sat in his hard bottom
chair trying to think OF a thought,
and he ploughed all his fingers about
his hair, but not a new topic they
brought. HID written on temperance
tariff and trade, and the prospects of
raising a crop, and joked about ice
cream and weak lemonade, till his
readers had warned him to stop. And
weary of thinking, sleep came to his
eyes, as he pillowed his head on his
desk, when the thoughts while awake
had refused to arise, came in drops
that were strange and grotesque. And
as the idea airily floated, he selects
the bright one Of the tribe, and this
is the gem, while dreaming, he wrote
Nov is the time to subscribe"

HAVGGOODi|EAN|.
Within Two Years as He Has
a Number of Promising
Young PLAYERS Signed.

Connie Mack, manager Of the,
Philadelphia Athletics. six times
winners Of American League PEN
nants and three times worlds cham
pions. stung by criticisms relative
to his deliberate breaking up Of the
famous baseball machine. has made:
a sweeping declaration regarding
his plans for 1916. Mack said re-
Gently:
We are losing ball games every
day and probably will finish the
poorest of any team in either major,
league In years, but have made
considerable progress along the lines
of reconstruction. II the fans will
look back to the 1908 season they
will realize that my progress was
slow until the combination was COM
piete, and then the team came like
lightning. Ny progress must be slow
because the only part that ! have
now, that am banking on for my
new machine are pitchers. and they
don't know anything vet and cannot
be- expected to show until next sea-
son. @i g, h.
81 will have almost an entirely
new team in the field in two weeks'
time and then the fans will be able
to get a line on my future cham
pionshlp team. To date have not
a single youngster, barring one, who
will be part Of sther new machine.
Ny best prospects will be here in a
short time, and think that fans
will be satisfied,
az repeat that. we will have an
other wonderfuls club before the close
OF next season. Everything depends
on how soon my pitchers develop.
They will surely 4 be right by the
middle OF next season, They are
slow finding themselves. but they
will come around. The rest Of my
combination has been completed and
viii be signed up between now and
