LEIB DECIDES OWNERSHIP

The case OF J. +. Ward VS.. w. +.
Buchanan, ct al, was decided by Judge
Leib last week and judgment signed
July /.
This case involved the homestead
property formerly owned by w. F.
Buchanan and wife. This property
was sold under execution about year
ago in suit by II. B. Jones, Receiver
and was acquired by J. F. Ward.
II appears that Roy Buchanan made
claim to the property by reason Of q
deed made by his mother, Mrs. Rebec-
ca Buchanan, TO him some years ago
while he was a minor. He later join
ed with his mother in a deed to this
property to W. +. Buchanan, in whose
name the property was standing Mt
the time of the execution sale. After
coming Of lawful age Roy Buchanan
dis-afIirmed his deed to w. F. Bu-
chanan and claimed the property, on
the grounds that he was a minor at
the time Of his deed to w. +. Buchan-
an. The plaintiff, and II. b. Jones.
Receiver, answering in his own be-
half, alleged that Roy Buchanan had
never been the owner of the property
but only trustee of the property,
and the court so held. The decision in
favor of plaintiff in this case will save
the creditors of the International Bank
considerable money as it is likely the
purchase price paid by Ward for the
property would have been ordered re-
paid had the property been recovered
by young Buchanan.
The case will probably be appealed
TO the Supreme Court. The Receiver
of the international Bank of Com
merce, II. B. Jones, has exercised the
greatest care in looking after the in.
terests of creditors, and directed tina,
this action be defended by his attor.
ney on account of creditors possible
interests in the outcome of the suit
The plaintiff was represented by G
c. Davidson and the defendant, Roy
Buchanan, by Attorney Reed Hollo
man of Santa Fe. The Receiver, II
Il. Jones, appeared by his attorney
Harry II. McElroy. The attorneys in
j terested in this case say that som,
very novel propositions of law wer,
presented by this case, and the re
suit of the appeal of the case is await
ed with much interest.

KABON BOUND OVER

Al Kabon, one OF the parties arrest
cd charged with being "a member Of
the party who robbed the Elk Drug
Store. was tried before Judge McEl-
roy this morning and in his testimony
as to his whereabouts during the time
the robbery was supposed to have
been committed, he said he met two
men near the Smokery and together
with them he went to room and
played poker. He said he never knew
them nor had never seen them before
or since. He said he put the handful
Of nickels and dimes in the dresser
drawer but he got them in the game
with these two strangers.
The prosecution did not produce all
the testimony they had against kabon
but did show that the brace and bit
used in the work was kept in an ad-
jacent room to that In which Kabon
resided.
Judge McElroy said the evidence
was sufficient to his mind that Kabon
was one Of the men who robbed the
store and bound him over to await
the action Of the grand jury under a
bond Of $1,000.
When the judge passed the sentence
il is said Kabon only smiled and said
81 should worry"

TUCUMCAR| WINS IN
BOTH GAMES WITH
FL PASO JULY as

Two good games Of baseball were
played in Tucumcari Sunday and Mon
day when the Southwestern team Of
FL Paso was trimmed TO the tune Of
10 TO and 13 TO q.
The games were much better than
the score would indicate, but the Tu-
cumcari boys were too fast in all de-
partments TO let the visitors get away
with anything.
The first game, Sunday, was too
one-sided on account of the FL Paso
boys being unable TO connect with the
curves Of pitcher Griggs. He had
them at his mercy throughout the
entire game, allowing but little bin
giles and had II not been for an error
just at the wrong time he would have
held them scoreless. The home boys
succeeded in landing safely IL times
and together with errors accumulated
ten scores.
Mondays game was not so much Of
a walk-away because the visitors con-
nected with the swift in-shoot deliv-
cred by Bramlett and made ten hits.
one being n home-run and three-base
hit by Chant, the big first-baseman.
Bramlett settled down after the 7th
and held the visitors to two scattered
hits.
The home team was composed Of
several new players, all of whom GER
tainly show class, especially Faus-
nacht in center and Matthews at End.
The whole team put up classy ball
and made hit with the local fans.
Nc Carly, the new back-stop and Kid
Chorley on lst made good in every
particular. With little more team
work we believe Tucumcari has an
unbeatable aggregation and we here
by issue challenge to any team in
this part of the state or as far in the
State of Texas as Dalhart.
A move is on foot TO make improve
ments in the out-feld and you can bet
your money that nothing will get
away from the trio now holding those
out-field positions. No Texes League
hits go. The infield showed up well
but we do not believe in letting n man
steal second unless we give him a run
for his money. A little team work In
this part will perhaps be of great
benefit and the quality is there to do
most anything they want to.
A number of subs are trying out
for positions and the management is
in shape to put good team in the
field at any time. We should give
them all the encouragement possible
and when we say encouragement we
mean financial support. The boys are
trying to raise money with which to
pay off back Indebtedness and when
they succeed in owning the grand
stand then they will have TO ask for
but little donations from the mer-
chants and citizens. II high-board
fence is placed around the grounds the
place may be used for various enter
tainments and even the county fair
where all the racing and contests can
be pulled off without endangering the
lives of anybody.

DRAFT OF NOTE TO BE ALTERED

Washington, ID. C.-Further mes
sages from ambassador Gerard at
Berlin, were today transmitted to the
President at Cornish, n. H., outlining
the point of view of the German gov
embodied in the tentative draft of the
German note to the last American
note.
The dispatch tended 10 show that
Germany is anxious to bring about u
compromise on the question Of her
submarine campaign, but there were
indications in official quarters that
the proposals in their present form
are not acceptable to the UnitedStates
Just what means would be adopted
TO inform Germany of the disapproval
of the United States Is not apparent.
II Is believed, however, that Ambas-
sador Gerard will be instructed with.
in a day or two TO make clear in ad-
vance Of the receipt Of the formal and
final copy Of the German note tina,
he Is unable to make any comment.
Although from press dispatches anG
other sources, it appeared that the
German proposals were unsatisfac
tory, the situation was not regarded
in wel-informed quarters as hopeless
much encouragement being drawn
from the fact that tentative draft o.
the note was submitted to the Ameri
can ambassador. This, II was believ
ed, indicated that II the preliminar!
draft was not satisfactory there ma,
be changes made designed to NEE
the American point of view on sub
marine warfare.
II was believed that president VIII
son would today direct secretary Ian
sing to instruct Ambassador Gerrar,

CAR FALLS OFF
75-FOOT CLIFF
NO BODY HURT

Jim Lovelady and family returned
this week from an extended trip to
many points in Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico, ending with the visit
at Las Vegas and attendance Of the
Reunion Of the cowboys of which he
is n member.
He travelled 2,42l miles and never
had an accident which cost him much
to repair. lie had one miraculous es-
cape while climbing hill on the bluffs
close to the Gallnas river when he
lost control Of the car and IL fell of
a bluff to cliff rs feet below and the
car lodged in big pine tree where II
hung only by small margin. IL 1t
had loosened itself from the tree II
would have fallen $50 feet farther TO
the bottom Of the hill.
The family were walking up the
hill as it was so steep and dangerous
they were afraid to ride. This is what
saved their lives. This happened on
the 28th Of June and Mr.. Lovelady
said after he had secured help and
the machine was hoisted to the top
again they paced it in the road and
cranked it up and she run right of
just as il nothing had ever happened
Only a few minor parts were broken
and the whole expense Of the trip as
far as the car was concerned, was only
a trifle, with the exception of the gas
oine, it was less than one dollar.
Mr.. Wharton told Jim that Henry
Ford would pay him a thousand dol.
lars for this story and would be glad
to donate him a new car.

STATE RATE DECISION

Santa Fe, July 4.-Further details
have come TO Santa Fe of the epoch
making victory Of the state corpora
tion commission before the Interstate
Commerce Commission. One OF the
results may be to increase freight
rates TO FL Paso instead Of decreasing
all class and commodity rates TO New
Mexico. But nevertheless, rates on
many products into New Mexico are
bound to be lowered in fact, so much
so that the saving TO New Mexico
jobbers, merchants and consumers will
in one year more than pay all the
commission has cost the state in sal
aries and allowances since it was cre-
ated.
The state corporation commission
brought out before the Interstate
Commerce commission that the rail-
roads have been granting FL Paso
rates on beer, canned goods, wrought
iron pipe and similar commodities
from two to nine cents lower than the
approved water and rail rates. The
decision gives the carrier the right 10
raise the FL Paso rates to the rail and
water basis IL they desire, but the
roads which will not do this must
grant the same reduction TO Albu-
querque and other New Mexico points.
The carriers asked authority to con-
tinue the lower class and commodity
rates from Kansas City, st. Louis and
Chicago and points taking the same
rates TO FL Paso. than the rates con-
currently applicable on like traffic to
intermediary points. This application
was denied effective October !.
In passing upon the compliant Of
the New Mexico commission, the In
terstate Commerce commission finds
that the freight rates on classes and
on certain commodities, namely, agri-
cultural implements, beer, canned
goods, emigrant movables, furniture.
packing house products, building and
roofing paper, cast iron and wrought
iron pipe, stoves, sugar, syrup, wire
and nails from Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago, to points in New Mexico
namely: Tucumcari, Clovis, Roswell,
Carlsbad, Vaughn, Pastura, Alamo
gordo, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Santa
Fe, Belen, Rincon, Deming, Silver City
Gallup and Lordsburg, are in many
cases unreasonable and unduly pre-
judicial, and then proceeds to set out
the rates which may be established
as the maximum in the future, being
an average reduction of about ten
cents, the Kansas City class rates Ia
Albuquerque being fixed for classes
/ to 5 and A and 4 in cents as fol.
lows: ITO, las. ll9, 162. s5, Ss, 6s
60, 81, and 43.

FIBER FACTORY IS
TOTALLY DESTROYED
LOSS s25,OOO.0O

Fire was discovered in the south
part Of the big fibre plant shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock Tuesday night and the
alarm was Immediately given, but the
fire was beyond control before the fire
boys arrived, mostly because of the
fact the water mains do not reach that
far and only an inch and half pipe
runs to the factory.
Shortly after the crowd began to ar
rive large amonia tank exploded
and tore out large portion of the
roof rs II made its departure from the
burning building.
In less than an hour the whole fac
tory was mass of ruins and the new
machine which was installed Monday
was completely destroyed together
with thousands of dollars worth Of
stock and machinery.
II Is estimated that there were $l8,-
10000 worth of machinery ruined, al
so $4,000 pounds of bear grass, car
load Of finished fiber, Office furniture,
large double building recently built,
making the whole loss something like
$25,000.00. This was total loss with
the exception of $4,000 insurance car
ried by the Hamilton Agency on the
machinery.
This fire is the largest this city has
witnessed for many years and comes
at time when Mr.. Raymond, the
manager, was just getting in shape
TO make the factory pay its way. Up
10 this time or few weeks ago IL
had hardly been paying proposition
because there was not enough of GER
tain kinds Of machines to keep the
others busy. A new machine had just
been installed Monday which was to
add greatly TO the output Of the fac
tory and IL was pronounced winner
by those who set II up and tried II
out Tuesday. II was made especially
for this class of work and cost abou,
$500 to lay it down here. Three
tanks Of amonia were at the depot
A car load of machines and one OF
oil had not yet been unloaded, but they
will be Of no use until Mr.. Raymond
rebuilds the factory, which he says
he will do in about six weeks. He Lett

by the big loss sustained Tuesda,

IRELAND'S MIRACLE

What has happened in Ireland
has been a miracle" one of the lead
ing English newspapers remarks.
John Redmond's speech in the house
of commons, uncensored report Of
which has reached these shores,
gives US our first appreciation of
how greet the miracle was.
When the war clouds grew black
opposing camps of armed mer were
drilled in Ireland and revolution
seemed not impossible. There is
reason to believe that Prussian dip
lomats counted on that situation,
among others. to force England to
remain neutral.
Berlin was wrong; just how wrong
Redmond revealed when he said:
"The whole Of the Irish race for the
first time in our history are in com
plete sympathy, in this war, with
England" Then he adduced the
evidence.
Up to three months ago, Ireland
has sent $4,000 men to tho regiments
of the old army. Within the last
