Bootlegger Gets so Days

H. H. Grow. better known as

night by officer Sadler charged
with unla wfully selling whiskey.
At the same time a man general
ly known as Red" was taken
into custody but es capped while
being taken to Jail q nd has not
been aDprehended although he
was traced to Tucum carl. From
the story of the officers given
the News it appears that q
customer entered Oggs res
taurant and asked Crow il he
could get him some whiskey.
Crow said that he could and took
his dollar, returning with a pint.
Sadler was on hand and found
out from Grow where he got 10
and subsequently arrested Red"
in room IL at the Arlington and
connscated 21 pints which he
found there. Crow was arranged
and tried before Judge Noble

About That Bond Issue

The News has made further
inquiry about that proposed
$S5, 900 bond issue to be voted
upon at the coming city election
and from what we are now able
to learn. the issue should be
voted down. point blank, or
changed to a $40. 900 issue. Sew
eral of our leading business men
have informed The News that in
their belief the plant is not run
ming full capacity and will OF
do so for at least two years to
come. They argue that at the
time the plant was purchased IL
was guaranteed to meet the re.
quire nents of a city of eight to
ten thousand inhabitants; that
two years ago it was stated by
those in charge that the electri.
cal department was running
only rs per cent capacity and
that tor it to have increased to
full capacity within that space
of time would be impossible.
Ag ain they argue that $40. 600
would be sufficient to make the
necessary wafer and sewerage
plDe extensions and that the
other $25. 600 is ubnecr ssary and
only wanted Tor a SINKING"
fund or 10 rebuild pant that
will answer the purpp-e for ~

The Small Pox Situation

The sum and substance of the
small pox situation in Clovis.
That there ever was the genuine
disease known as Small pox in
Clovis is disputed by many. how
ever the News physician has
never made an examination of
the cases to ascertain how seri-
Gus each individual case might
be. One thing we do know and
that is that the matter has been
greatly exaggerated by news
papers and reports. to the seri
GUS. injury of the town. That
the smallpox epidemic or some
thing closely akin to the disease
is abating is not disputed. Few
new cases have developed and
the situation seems to be we'll in
hand. The doctors have been
kept busy vacclnating the popu
lation and it is said that approxi
mately a thousand have been IN
oculated with the serum What
ever the disease may be, it is in
a very mild form and many of
the patients nave not even been
confined to their beds. Do not

VILLA DEAD OR ALIVE is ORDER.
u. S. TROOPS CROSS BORDER
In the Raid by Villa Bandits Columbus Last Week in
Which Soldiers and Civilians Were Killed, the
Government Has Been Quick to Retaliate by Order
ing Troops Cross Into Mexico and Get the Bandit

Complications with Mexico are
daily growing serious. 10000
federal troops have concentrated
at the Mexican border in south
western New Mexico to begin a
campaign against Villa with the
orders to capture him and his
band of from 1900 to 5000 fol-
lowers, dead or alive" In
this task the troops will have
the CO operation of the Carranza
forces. 1t is said, who have
granted permission for til Q
American troops to cross pro-
viding they are given the same
privilege to cross into American
territory for the same purposes.
! This has been granted. As
stated in last weeks issue, the
Villa bandits in the early hours
of the morning before day light
crept up into Columbus, New
Mexico. evading for the time
being the three troops of the
18th Cavalry stationed there and
killed sixteen civilians and sol.
uiers and injured many Others
including women and children.
The few cavalry were soon up
and doing business and in the
running fight that followed soon
after day break. Col. Slocum
with his troops followed and al
though outnumbered 10 to l they
succeeded in killing seventy
five to one hundred Mexicans.
Eighteen were picked up in the
streets of Columbus and their
bodies burned. Several wound.
ed were captured and will be
tried for murder. Troops have
been rushed to the scene and the
aero scouts will locate the ban,
dts in the mountains while the
troops will do the rest. Excite.

Corporal Welsh rounded them up
and was driving them we'll into Amer;

pursuing party made him turn. An
officer clad in q French military cap.
a Mexican blouse, very dirty white
trousers, and straw slippers, rode for
ward, saluting Kynaston punctiliously.

he said courteously, that in accord

owned it. That mule yonder is loaded
with the treasure that they have sto-
len for the purpose of using 1t to buy
arms and ammunition to help their

He pointed to the pack mule as he
spoke, and Kynaston saw that the
aparejo fairly bulged with ill-concealed
packages that showed plainly as the
animal swayed to and fro, rubbing its
sides against tree.
Sorry, old fellow, but can't help

So they got their supper cooked by
greasewood fires, and, after. letting
their horses rest couple of hours,
set out on the back trail The little
party of escaped federals was under
careful guard, for Kynaston well knew
that, given the chance, they would
give him the slip and scatter on Amer
