MIGRATORY BIRD LAW
SPRING SHOOTERS WoRsTED IN
ATTEMPT TO KILL APPRoPRlA-
TION For ENFORCEMENT;
GAME PROTECTORS PLEASED

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Aug. 15.-sOf-
ficers of the New Mexico Game Pro
tectiye association have received
word that the agricultural %appFopriat
ton bill. bearing an item OF $4,000
for the enforcement of the federal
migratory bird law, was signed by the
president This marks the end Of a
long and bitter contest between the
campions of the federal law and the
Spring shooters" Of the central
states. the latter having launched a
powerful organization for the purpose
Of killing the federal regulations by
killing the appropriation for their en-
forcement5
The New Mexico association, as EVIL
denced by running controversies in
the sporting papers, played a part of
national prominence in championing
the continuance Of federal protection
for the birds. It's officers have been
bitterly maligned by the spring shoot
ers, and at the same time heartily
praised and commended by sportsmen
from almost every state in the union.
They regard the outcome OF the fight
as a signal victory for their cause.
THE absolutely solid backing
which New Mexico gave the federal
law was remarkable says Robert Z.
Dietz, secretary Of the New Mexico
association. 1T was one OF the very
few states which did not manifest one
iota Of encouragement to the enemies
of our wildfowl When n remem-
bers that only six months ago we
were listed as among the most back
ward states in game protection, we
have grounds for encouragement. OF
course, we are still far behind in
actual aaw-enforoement, which after
is the proof Of the pudding, but
things are at least on the mend"

Nearly Two Inches
OF Rainfall During
Week at Tucumcari

Tucumcari, N. NJ, Aug. 16.-The
rainfall for the past week, as regis
tered by the gauge at the United
States experiment farm a Tucum-
carl, was ITS inches. While the rain
has been general throughout eastern
New Mexico it has varied greatly In
different places. Grass is beginning
to grow and stockmen are feeling
greatly encouraged. If another good
rain falls within the latter half Of the
month it will make excellent grass
for the fall and winter months. While
our crops will be generally light
throughout Quay county, they Will
make more than half yields in many
localities.
According to superintendent Smith
of the experiment station, the rain
fall up to August / was five inches
below normal. Stockmen who have
lived in eastern New Mexico for years
claim that the season has been the
dryest that they have ever seen.

Slayer Of Kelly Man
Pleads Second Degree

Socorro, N. NJ, Aug. 15.-The case
of the state against Frank MCGEE, H.
/, Webb and Tom Votaw, charged
with the murder of Alvaro Aragon,
near Kelly July Fl, came up before
Judge Meehem on application by de-
PENDANTS to be allowed to furnish bail.
During the proceedings Votaw
pleaded guilty to murder in the sec
ond degree. He has not yet been sen
fenced.
Both Webb and his wife testified
that Webb was at home all night of
the night when the killing occurred.
This statement was c~orroborated by
MCGEE and Votaw.
According to the story told by Nc
Gee and Votaw, they went to a corral
I'd satisfy themselves about a certain
calf, the ownership Of which was in
dispute. They wanted to determine
whether It belonged to Webb or
Frank Sanchez, but acted independ-
emily Of Webb. When McGee entered
the corral he fell into the hands of
Sanchez. When Votaw heard threats
to kill MCGEE, he went to the George
Aker's place for a rifle and came back
to protect MCGEE. On his way back
he was fired on, He returned the fire
and killed Aragon.
The court granted Webb and Nc
Gee permission to furnish bail.

Roswell to Front
With Some Petrihed
Forest OF Its Own

Roswell, N. NJ, Aug. 12.-Chaves
county has a petrified forest. like
those Of Arizona, although perhaps
not SO vast, and it is within d short
distance of this city, says the Record.
1T is Az miles due east and a little
north Of Roswell on the great barren
plains which stretch away into the
distance. just before one comes to
the great sand hills lies the petrified
forest, which covers a space Of pos
sibly 100 acres, The strange thing
about the location of this forest Is
that it is on an eminence higher than
the surrounding land. Great trees,
some several feet in diameter. lie
prone across the path of the traveller,
their roots exposed to view. Some OF
the trees r partly covered with the
drifting sand.
Recently, James +. HinkIe, acting
president Of the First National bank,
a party to this ancient wond-
err. These men, who were D. wv.
Lowe, Col. ]. w. Wilson and w. M.
Atkinson, brought back with them a
specimen of a petrified tree which is
now on display at the Gilkeson hotel.
The drifting sands have covered up
most of the trees but a number of
them r on the surface. Perhaps
some day the entire tract will be IN.
covered by those interested in such
things.
