TWO FEDERAL JUDGES
FOR NEW MEXICO

There is a well founded report cur
rent that the coming session of con-
gress will provide for two federal judi
cial districts for New Mexico and two
for Arizona. This action is is said will
be taken owing the great amount of
work which is too much for one judge
in each state. 1t is learned that Judge
Pope's death was FASTENED by the strain
of the large amount of ligitation before
his court and recently Judge Sawtelle
resigned from the federal bench in
Arizona, giving as his reason that the
amount of work involved was impairing
his health.
If two federal districts are establish
ed in Ne ; Mexico, the headquarters of
the southern district would be in Las
Cruces according to the present plans.
The headquarters of the northern dis
trict would remain in Santa fe as at
present.
In case the proposed action is taken
by congress, President Wilson will have
two appointments to make to the feder-
al bench in New Mexico instead of one.
At the present time, the two leading
candidates for the appointment to sue
coed Judge Pope, are Judge Colin Neb-
lett of Silver City and u. S. District
Attorney Summers Burkhart, of Albu-
querque. Judge Neblett's name is
being more and more frequently men
toned in connection with the appoint
ment and in case two appointments are
to be filed, he is almost sure of securing
the southern district. Judge Neblett
has the endorsement of leading mem
bers of the legal fraternity in southern
New Mexico, irrespective of political
breed, as the attorneys who have prac-
ticed before him recognize his ability
and preeminent fitness for the position.

DOCS IN A PICKLE

DIR. Killem gave his third
booster supper last Friday night
and fifteen pulled their chairs up
to the table. The supper was a
big boom so far as the food part
of it went, as every one of the
guests yelled for medical aid that
night. What worried Doc, tho.
is that he got only seven calls.
After a little Investigation in the
dark that night, he discovered
that the other eight guests had
placed their stomachs in the
hands of DIR. Croakem of Turnip
Ridge, who has a later model
stomach pump which is worked
by foot instead of by hand. This
pump, which has two cylinders
and a throwoff, gives a smooth
err action and does not cure the
patient by jerks as DR.. Killem's
does. The people of Pumpkin
Hill are getting next to this and
so long as they are paying for
the use of the stomach pump
they want as much comfort as
they can get for the price, and if
DR.. Killem can't furnish the
comfort with his pump they'll
call on DR.. Croakem. Those who
have tried both pumps inform us
that DR.. Killem's treatment hurts
while DR.. Croakem's only tickles,
and if the worst should come
they'd rather be tickled to death
than pumped out of existence.
With this grave situation staring
him in the face, DR.. Killem is in
a pickle as to what to do. He
allows that if he gives any more
suppers, DR.. Crokem, will get all
the rakeoff and leave him nothing
while if he gets a new pump for
