A Close Call

What would have resulted in
the death of at least three or four
persons was narrowly averted on
Sunday afternoon when L.. A..
Chandler, the local postmaster
was forced to run his Overland
machine into the ditch east of
Ponil bridge, one mile from town
breaking the front axle and spring
and otherwise doing damage to
the car, which he was driving at
the time. Another car driven by
Mrs. F. w. Brooks, was coming
from the opposite direction at a
rate OF about 20 miles per hour
and upon the drivers failure to
give adequate room on the road
for the Chandler machine to pass
the latter was forced to run into
the ditch, which resulted in the
damage as stated heretofore.
The amount of the damage
done to the Chandler car will to-
tai approximately 500 SO far as
is known at present. Both par
ties claim immunity from any
blame for the accident and it is
indeed fortunate that the ma
chimes did not have a headon col
lision, since this would have re-
suited in the death of several
people, most children who were
enjoying a JOY ride.-Cimarron

Learned Something.

Last Saturday evening while
Morris Loewenstein was walking
along California street opposite
Cooks livery stable he was as
saulted without any provocation
whatever by an Old Mexico Mex
lean named Enriquez. Mr. Loe-
wenstein was struck a blow in
the face that knocked him down,
and he might have Jared much
worse if Ed Dodd had not come
to his rescue. Enriquez was pref
ty we'll loaded with booze and
to be under the impress
sion that he was divinely ap-
pointed to give somebody a
licking. The results of his efforts
he got a blow from Ed Dodd's
fist that rolled him in the sand
and then he was escorted into
Judge Green's court where he
was given thirty days and trim
mings. When his days of proba-
ton are over he will probably
see the beauties of walking in
the ways of peace.-Socorro Chief

ments to have everything in
readiness to began hauling the

Logging railroads are being
built to haul the logs to the main

The branch railroads are being
built along the tops of the ridges
