VALUABLE CONSIDERATION

In our article last week concerning
the Pandolfo-C Clovis affair we perhaps
overstated the contents Of a letter
signed 10y "a number Of Clovis gentle
men. Not having the letter at hand
we will say that the only thing remcm-
hered concerning same was the fact
that IL started out For valuable con
sidcration'' and went ON TO say that
all law suits against Pandolfo, First
National Bank of Colvis. and the
Clovis Journal. had been dropped and
nothing further would he done. In
other words we took it for granted
that if u man had instituted suit and
then anuullcd II that he had eNonor.

consideration" turned loose. The fol
lowing letter which threatens suit
against the Tucumcari News and its
editor. is elf.explanatory and IL We
have mis-Stated as they think, It's up
TO u TO publish a true statement Of
facts. When We have the opportunity
Of obtaining the letter exhibited by
pandolfo we will take pleasure in
printing same in full.
The letter from Clovis is as follows

CONSTRUCT RACE
TRACK FOR BIG cow.
BOYS ROUNDUP

A real race track in Tucumcari is
being constructed. During the past
week the grounds at the ball park site
have been surveyed, a good race course
laid out, and a force Of men employed
in clearing off the bear grass. cactus,
sticks, stones, etc, and scraping and

mittee will be held in the Office Of the
Business Mems Association, Tuesday
September 5th, at 2 p. m, and those
who desire concessions Of any sort
should attend that meeting to offer
their bids.
IL is anticipated that there will be
some difficulty in providing lodging
for the large number Of guests that is
expected and it is probable that II will
be necessary TO request every family
in Tucumcari having spare rooms that
they will rent during the show week,
20 list the same with q committee.
Letters are being written 70 cattle
men residing in all sections Of New
Mexico and also to stockmen in West

tations to attend the roundup and re-
questing their assistance in advertis-
ing the affair. The program will be
definitely arranged az an early date
and published in leaflet form, after
which they will be scattered broadcast
over the country. During the past
day or two several automobiles have
appeared on the streets with large
steamers attached 10 the back Of the
cars advertising the show, and it is
said that the advertising committee
has provided a number OF these 10 be
used on cars which will travel through
the surrounding country. Practically
all Of the local business men have or
dered special stationery with adyer-
Using matter Of the affair printed over
the same, on which they will write all
Of their letters from date Until the
program is carried out.
"Broncho busting" contests and sim
liar Western shows are becoming ex-
ceedingly popular in all sections Of the
United States and q Dig snow Of this
character vas recently pulled of in
New York City. The program that is
contemplated by Tucumcari Is we'll
worthy Of the support Of every citizen
in this district and the cooperation of
everyone is invited in order to make
