BEATS HIS WIFE UP.

Squire Bluegrass has put a lot
of scandal afoat in Pumpkin Hill
by beating his wife up. We are
told that the beating took place
Monday in his kitchen above 81
Rubbin's blacksmith shop, and
nobody saw it nor heard anything
yell. Pumpkin Hill society is
shocked at the Squire's actions
and cannot see why he should
beat his wife up when he is serv-
ing under the official capacity of
squire and has been married so
years without a rumpus. They say
the Squire wasn't mad either
when he did it, but was whistling
all the time, and this makes it a
still bigger mystery. When he
called at The Pumpkin Hill News
office today, the facts in the case
leaked out and we made the
Squire fess up to all that had hap
pened. The Squire told us, in the
presence Of Mrs. Squash, that he
didn't only beat his wife up Mon
day morning, but he did more
he had the breakfast all cooked
before she left the bed and peep
ed in the kitchen.

With the largest freshman class
in its history about to enter the
New Mexico State University,
Physical Director Ralph z. Hutch
inson is looking forward to a year
of more than usual athletic ability.
and in the main sports, football,
basketball and track, to a year II
greater achievement than ever be
fore. This year the University
coach is confident that he will turn
out unbeatable teams, for he has
kept watch on the high schools
for several years, and some Of the
best youngsters in the state are
entering the University when i.
opens August p.
H~utchnson's system of team de-
velopment is attracting attention
all through the college world. He
does not pick a squad of bright
prospects and concentrate his
whole attention and the whole
training power Of the University
upon them. Instead he develops
the whole student body. Every
student who enters is carefully
examined. Every weakness and
physical defect is noted. Then
careful, persistent, work is done
with that individual student tc
overcome his on her weaknesses.
II is Hutchinsons plan to develop
the entire body Of students, to edu
cate them physically, to train
them normally and nationally, and
TO trust to this training to produce
his headliners, the men who can
make winning teams. Its success
in the past has given the Univer
sity coach fun confidence in his
system and he will work it more
consistently during the coming
year than he ever has before. The
athletic equipment of the Uniyer-
sity this year will be supplement-
ed by the splendid gymnasium,
swimming pool and other facilities
of the new albuquerque Y. NJ. c.
A. building, which will be at the
disposal OF students in the Uni
versity.

DOG LOSES THE CASE.

There was an interesting trial
in Attorney A. Fibber's law of
fee last Monday afternoon, E..
2. Goer, the pall-bearer in Bill
Slugger's slaughter house, being
arrested for letting a dead
pig drop on Miss Dimple's
new poodle dog, who was nosing
around for some stray wienie
sausage that might be lying
around loose without a guardian.
The dog had two ribs congested
and Miss Dimple brought her
suit. The case was dismissed,
the opinion of the Judge being
that E. z. was not responsible for
the dead pigs revenge on the
dog, as dogs are today one of the
hogs greatest rivals in the vie
