A TYPEWRITER CROOK HERE

About a week ago typewriter me-
chanic by the name Of G.. s. Schneider,
who claimed his home was in FL Paso
hit town. He went about fixing ma
chimes and getting money for same,
and one place he found an old No. 7
Remington. He told the owner he
represented that company and was
reliable in every way. He came here
in an automobile and was travelling
over his territory in that manner. He
said u man by the name of Wood, who
lived ut Corona, was on the market
for n machine just like this and If he
was permitted to put it in good con-
dition he could sell it for S45 as Wood
could not be induced to buy visible
machine. The owner fell for the talk
and let him have the machine to fix
it up and make the deal.
The next day Schrieber returned the
machine which looked like new. He
said he had put on several new parts
and completely overhauled it and then
wanted "a deposit. The owner gave
him few dollars and told him when
the man at Corona sent him a check
for the machine he would remit lib
eral fee to him.
Schneider said he had telephoned TO
Wood at Corona and that the check
would arrive on Monday and that he
would perhaps be here to help box up
the machine. The check did not come
and Schneider has vamoosed TO parts
unknown.
The regular Remington agent ar
rived this week and is finding consid-
cradle crookedness done by this man
At various other places he said he
represented other firms and succeed
ed in finding broken parts on machines
which he replaced with new ones and
charged them up to the owners, prom.
ising to have the company refund the
money paid out.
At Corona he overhauled No. I
Oliver Typewriter and promised tn,
owner that he had it sold for u good
big price, that he would receive a nice
check on Tuesday. The owner il
still looking for the check and asks
Schneider to refund him the money
he paid him which he promised to Dc
if he did not get the check.
This crook is east bound and will
no doubt get plenty of money unless
he is captured soon. Look out for hin
and notify the Remington people anC
they will do the rest.

GREATEST EVENT OF WAR

London, May l5-The Westminster
Gazette, which usually reflects official
opinion, estimates President Wilson's
note to Germany as "the greatest
event of this war from all humane and
moral points of view"
Nothing can be as before" it con-
tinues, "when the most powerful Of
neutrals has definitely taken its stand
for the great principle affirmed in the
American note"
Pointing out that il was open to
the American government TO confine
itself to the case Of its own citizens
the Gazette remarks:
"They (the American government)
have not taken this course. They have
taken a stand firmly on what may
rightly be called the common law of
nations, which requires that the life
Of non-combatants. whether neutral
or belligerent, shall be respected in
sea warfare. This is not merely our
case or Americas case. 1t is the case
of the whole world against murder
and piracy"

JONES FAILS TO PAY

Under the heading "Jones Pays the
Freight" we inserted an advertisement
for several weeks for Ed. A. Jones Of
Roswell, who claimed TO sell monu-
ments and tombstones. We we're in
structed TO run the ad. and TO send
him bill for same. We did so and
have sent him several, but have not
heard from the said Jones.
Now IL he Is using one OF the mon
ments he had for sale we are sorry
he died and forgot to pay the printer.
II he Is still alive we hope when he
does die the devil will get him 30 quick
his relatives will not have time to
put up a marker and II they do we
hope the fire with which he Is burn
ed is so hot that il will burn all the
sacred inscription off the monument.
We notice his ad. still running in
some of the papers and wish to no.
tify others that this said Jones Is an
unreliable man and the less dealings
you have with such fellow the bet
te" off you will be in the end. He
may pay the freight but you may rest
assured II Is your own money he pays
il with.
We have also found six per cent
loan companies very unreliable and
when you see another ad. of this ma
ture in the News, you may rest as
sured that IL has been paid for in ad-
vance.

FAKE INDIAN DOCTOR

DR.. A. c. WaHoo, of Sacramento,
Calf, who came to this county and
located near Logan, arrived in Tucum-
carl in poor circumstances last week.
He was pretty badly crippled, which
he claimed was caused by being in a
wreck on the Rock Island, and that
he had brought suit against the road
for damages. While at Logan he at
tempted to work off some of his med
icines and did sell some. He ran his
course at Logan and tried to walk 20
Tucumcari but only managed to get
as far as Mater Switch, but someone
brought him on here.
He was a dope fend and was a
fraud pure and simple. The city au-
thorities bought him a ticket out of
town and rejoiced to see him get out
where he can harm none of our citi-
zens with his medicines.

TUCUMCAR| EXPECTS
TO PULL OFF A BIG
CELEBRATION JULY 4

A few Of our citizens got together
this week and decided to call a public
meeting TO see what the majority Of
the merchants and patriotic citizens
wish TO do about celebrating the 4th
of July this year.
Last year with only two weeks to
make arrangements a few who were
not afraid to work got up a celebra-
ton and had good crowd here to
spend the day. A number of contests
and races were indulged in and every
body was satisfied with the days en-
tertainment.
This year we intend TO spend more
time and money in putting up a gen
uine rip-roaring Fourth of July and
while the other nations are at war we
should all the more show our patriot
ism and epend the day as we used to
do. The ball teams of the county may
be given n chance to play for prizes
and big time in general is expected
to transpire. A real automobile Pc
rade and race or exhibition run may
be on the program.
Every merchants or man who be-
lieves in his country and would like
to celebrate that fact, is invited to at
tend a nesting which will be held in
the city hall next Tuesday night.
No collection taken at the door but
we want you there TO suggest the best
way TO celebrate the 4th.

A crowd of our sportsmen returned
from the Canadian last Thursday and
report a good catch. Some of them
gave some Of their neighbors u good
mess and where they got the fish is
not known, but they say they caught
them on a common hook and line. If
you don't believe this story, you may
ask Oscar Sandusky, c. b, Hamilton
or Mr.. Markham, they can tell you a
bigger story than this. 7. A. Muir
head was out Of town last week for
few days and perhaps he may know
where a person could catch fish il
he only has the patience TO wait until
the cork goes clear under and starts
of down stream. Don't this kind of
news make you have the spring fever ?
No cure is recommended but the old
fashioned hook and line.

the last chance the farmers will have
to have their stock or other stuff sold
