CHILDREN Will GO
TO STATE FAIR

Boys and girls in Club work
are happy these days. Those
who remained faithfully in the
work are about to reap their har-
vest of good things. The County
Agent in his rounds in arranging
the contests to select the winners
of the big prizes finds every child

week at the State Fair without
expense with all of the club
workers in the state doing the
greatest things possible for
their comfort and good time. 1t

children. We wish that we
might take them all.
There are girls in the bean and

point with pride to their acre of
corn or beans or request the at

barn where their chickens are to

ONE DEAD IN
FIGHT At AB0

William Owen, an inspector
for the Cattle Sanitary Board,
was shot through the right lung
and Jesus Bales was killed at
Abo Monday morning.
Owen was put on the train and
taken to the hospital at Albu-
querque, where latest reports
say he is getting along we'll and
if no complications ensue will re-
cover.
Owen was attempting to ar
rest Bales on a charge of cattle
stealing, and was assisted by his
nephew, Charles Banghart, and
Joe Scroggin, Hugh Anderson,
AL Wood and Edward Kicker
thorn, the four last named resi-
dents of the vicinity.
An inquest held on the body of
Bales resulted in a verdict the
substance of which was that
Bales came co his death by gun
shot wounds at the hands of
William Owen while resisting ar
rest.
The precise facts in connection
with the shooting are not easy to
come at. Owen was not able to
talk and the others were not able
to give a circumstantial account
of the affair.
1t seems, however, that Bales
was in an adobe house in which
there were no other men, but
woman or two and a child.
Owen, Banghart and Anderson
entered the house to make the
arrest. There was a fusillade of
shots, and the three came out,
Owen shot through the lung.
Bales then made a break, and
there were more shots, Bales
falling dead. 1t is not known
whether he received his death
wounds in the house or outside.
Bales is a nephew of Domingo
Bales, who was charged with
the killing of Col. Chavez at
Pinos Wells some years ago, but
was acquitted.

ESTANC|A FAIR
OCTOBER 6 AND !

At the meeting on the fair
question last Saturday it was de-
cided to hold the fair on the 9th
and 7th of October.
A constitution and bylaws
were adopted.
A committee on finance was
added to the list of standing COM
mittees, consisting of Robert
Burrus, ]. N. Bush and j. L.
Stubblefeld. This committee
we learn has so far met with
good encouragement and success,
and give it as their opinion that
they will be able to raise suffi
cient money to have the best fair
yet.
All the committees were in
structed to be ready to report
next Saturday, at which time it
is thought arrangements will be
finally completed, and it will be
possible to announce the list of
premiums the following week.

WOMAN'S CLUB

The Woman's Club held its
regular meeting at the club room
Friday afternoon. The reports
of the officers were interesting
and proved that much thought

work. The librarian reported a

been placed upon the shelves,
and Harold Bell Wright's new
book, When Mans Man, will
soon be with them.
The semi-annual election of Of

Our party was ultimately completed by
two oddly contrasted and yet oddly SINH
lar men. One of them. young Corey
Madison, isn't over twenty-five; he has a
little mustache and fair hair and pink
cheeks, and the easy swagger of his class.
The other was Charlie van Graft, who
must be nearer fifty-fve than twenty-five
much nearer. He has a little mustache,
and once he had fair hair and pink cheeks,
but now the hair is mostly gone, and the
cheeks are bit fiabby and pasty colored.
But he still has the swagger-a more
assured and unconscious swagger than
Corey's; and he dresses like dandy.
Everybody knows Charlie. --everybody,
that is, in the little world of the bright
lights, especially the head walters and
the chorus girls, the first because of his
tips, the second because of his cabs. No
body has to walk to his parties. Charlie
is bachelor, and likely to remain so. He

certain pathetic pride of birth, and he

a low alliance. But the houses where he
