Sun Drunkenness.

To become sun drunk is a condition
into which any .One may fall In the
tropics. Exposure to the suns rays
will reduce man to~a condition al
most exactly resembling drunkenness
He staggcrs about and is usually com
PEELED to lie down and "sleep 1t off,"
Sun drunkenness Is sometimes accom-
panied by nausea. Another curious
fact in connection with life in the trop-
les, where tho sun rises at the same
time all the year round. is that II you
do not get up before sunrise you do
not feel we'll all day. You feel heavy,
out of sorts and sickish.

NEW MEXICO OFFICER
DIES IN HOSPITAL

Lieutenant Antonio J. Luna.
of the New Mexico regiment of
Infantry, died in the base hos
pital here Monday morning. He
was taken i'll but few days be-
fore his death with acute endo-

until early Monday morning that
his life was despaired of.
Lieutenant Luna was a grad

a prominent young member of
the New Mexico bar at his home
in Santa Fe. He was a member
of one of the oldest and most
distinguished families in the

MEETS
WITH MRS. HULSEY

The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Baptist church of Columbus held
an enthusiastic session with
Mrs. Hulsey at her residence last
Thursday. Almost the entire
strength of the society was rep
resented. Mrs. Page the presi-
dent was in the chair, and after
roll call and routine business
was disposed of; the new busi-
ness taken up included plans for
an entertainment to help on the
building fund of the church,
which is we'll under way.
1t is thought the most attrac-
tive way of making money for
the good cause and giving every
one a good time, simultaneously
is a box lunch party. This will
consist of dainty lunches, large
" of chicken and sweets put up
in boxes large enough for a
couple-the price will be moder-
ate and the quality first class.
Each purchaser of a box is sup
posed to share it with a partner
In addition there will be an en-
tertainment made up of local
talent, music and recitations be-
ing featured.
The box lunch party VIII prop
ably be held within two weeks
and the date will be announced
later in the Courier 1t is hoped
that the Y. NJ. c. A. hall will be
loaned for the evening, for the
party is largely for the soldier:
and their civilian friends, ano
the entertainment will not con

MONEY APPROPRIATED
FOR COLUMBUS JAIL

At the regular quarterly ses-
sion of the county commission
crs held in Deming last week an
appropriation of $500 was made
TO apply on the building Of a
$500 Jail in the village of Co
lumbus, the board of trustees
having agreed to meet the coun-
" half way in the erection of n
place to confine prisoners. The
marshal has had some Job on his
hands with no place to lock rp
prisoners and in many instances
when the police judge had man
I'D before him when he really
thought he deserved Il jail SEN
tence has released him eXacting
his promise to get out of the
state simply because there was
no place to use as a Jail nearer
than Deming, and a trip to the
county seat witE u prisoner is
rather expensive punishment
from the states point OF View
The location of the Jail has
not been decided upon but the
west part of the street from the
new water works plant has beer
discussed and the building VII
probably be located there.

CASEY is DISCHARGED
ON ASSAULT CHARGE

Harry j. Casey, who was held
to the grand jury several months
ago, on a charge of resisting an
officer, was released Thursday,
the grand jury failing to make
an indictment. The case excited
{ great amount of interest at the
time. Casey had been arrested
charged with causing a distur-
bance on the street. He resisted
officer Trumble when he went
to search him before taking him
to the bull pen. Trumble pro-
ceeded to beat up Casey and
broke his nose. Casey was up
before Judge Peach the follow
ing morning facing several diff
ferent charges, among which
were trying to incite a riot and
resisting an officer. The last
named charge he was found to
be guilty of and was held for
the action of the grand jury,
w. c. Hoover and j. L. Green
wood signing the bond as sur
tiles.
An indictment was made by
the grand jury in the case of
w. J. Robertson for selling in
toxicating liquors. We under
stand that c. H. johnson was
released from a similar charge.

CITY WILL LAY 5000
MORE FEET OF MAINS

The village trustees have pur-
chased 5000 additional feet of
pipe to enlarge the water works.
This amount of pipe added to
the system will supply all the
business part of town and will
put mains in reach of the resi-
dences close in. The only thing
holding up the use of the new
we'll now is the motor and it has
arrived and will be installed at
once.
The trustees have also pur-
chased several fire hydrants and
they will be placed so they will
be convenient in case Of a fire
in the business section of town.
The chemical fire engines
which were bought several
weeks ago are here. The manu-
facturer claims each of the en-
gines to equal 5000 pals of
water in extinguishing a fire.
Columbus will soon be prepar-
ed to fight fire pretty well, Of
course we will not be able to
work on the scale of the fire de-
partments of the large cities,
but taking everything into con-
sideration the system should be
sufficient for Columbus at the
present time.
The insurance rates no doubt
will be lowered. The rate has
seemed high, but as we have in
the past been totally unprepared
to make any resistance whatever
the people were lucky to be able
to buy protection at all.

BLAIR HEADS
LUNA COUNTY
ORGANIZATION
Columbus man now heads the
Organization in this county
Was the unanimous choice
of all the candidates for the
county Offices.

At a meeting of the precinct
chairmen of Luna county, held
in Deming last Monday, ]. r.
Blair of Columbus was unani-
mously elected chairman of the
republican central committee.
The candidates and the party
we're dissatisfied with Noonan,
who elected himself chairman
1t the republican county con-
yention. and his resignation was
desired. A number of the leaders
assembled in A. w. Pollard's Of
ice last Saturday and received
the resignation of Noonan. A
man to take his place was not
elected at that time, but a meet
ing of the precinct chairmen
vas called for Monday, which
was unanimously in favor of the
Columbus man.
1t seems that none of the can
didates favored Noonan as the
chairman but all are well pleased
with the selection of Mr.. Blair
This was wise choice for
the republicans, and if Mr.
Blair controls the party as well
as he does his own affairs there
is probability of great things
being accomplished.
