Association After Game ViOlatOrs

Five antelope out of bunch of six
were slain by game butchers and
game law violators in the Estancia
valley last week, according to ad-
vices received by the Santa Fe Game
Protective Association from Mr.. Shea
ron, of Moriarty. One buck escaped,
according to Mr.. Shearon. The matter
has been reported by the association
to the state game warden. In view of
the fact that the beautiful antelope
are almost extinct in New Mexico, the
crime is shocking one and the people
of this section, sportsmen and non
sportsmen, alike, feel that prompt and
effective action should be taken tc
bring the guilty parties to Justice
Santa Fe New Mexican.

tween $4,000 and $4,000, that much of
the stock being uninsured. 1t is re-
ported that Mr.. Slack will rebuild
Immediately and reopen the store as
soon as stock can be Shipped.
While the present building of the
Cimarron County Bank was made use
less, President Hammond reports that
the loss is unimportant as the fixtures
were covered by insurance and other
valuables were found to be secure and
cool within the vault which was open
ed Wednesday morning following the
fire. The bank has already secured
another building and is ready for bus
mess 1t is reported that new build
ing, of concrete or stone, will be erect

Many Pretty Homes in the MexhOma
NeighbOrhOOd

One of the prettiest stretches of
farming land and from all outward ap-
pearances, at least, one of the most
enterprising communities in this Sec
tion of the country is to be found in
the Mexhoma neighborhood.
All the farms show clean-cut, sub
stantial improvement and much pro-
gress in cultivation of the soil. One
of the impressive features Of the Sec
tion which the reporter passed thru
was the nature of the farm dwellings,,
many having been but recently built,
all of them practically new, some now
under construction and almost with
out exception the design of the homes
are far removed from the old-fashion-
ed "boX" houses. Among the folks
who have built recently are Messrs.
Spencer, Bulls, Barnett, Smith and
Arthur Wooten. All these homes are
on the bungalow type. M. Wooten's
home is perhaps the best and most
attractive in that part of the coun-
try 1t is constructed of brown sand
stone, the upper part pebble-dash. The
stone pillared veranda is an unusual
feature in country home building
When complete it will be furnished
with hot and cold running water.
