turned to her home last Satur-
day. She was accompanied by
her brother, Henry Hays, who
will attend the School of Mines.
A ball was given Monday
night at Goodin hall in honor of
District Attorney Hamilton and
family. A very pleasant time is
reported. The attendance was
larger than at any dance given
in Estancia for a long time. and
all present enjoyed themselves
to the utmost. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamilton and their sons Wayne
were guests during their stay of
DR.. and Mrs. Ewing, and were
entertained also by Mr.. and Mrs.
Elgin, Mr.. and Mrs. Allan Mac
Gillivray, Mr.. and Mrs. Berk-

The pile of money in the coun-
ty continues to grow. Last week
we stated the probability that the
deposits in the two banks of the
county amounted to S400, 900.
The official report of the Tor
rance County Savings Bank at
Willard shows the deposits in that
bank on November 18th in round
figures $189,O00. This is un-
doubtedly materially increased
by this time. The books
of the Estancia Savings
Bank yesterday showed deposits
in round figures of $212, 900, with
drafts in course of collection for
seven cars of beans amounting to
$4,000. The real deposits at
this date must amount to at least
$425, 900.
Fred H. Mcbride, who has
been an agent in various capaci-
ties for the D. & R. G. railway
and the New Mexico Central for
the past 25 years, has been pro-
noted to the post of general
freight and passenger agent of
the New Mexico Central with Of
fees in the Catron block, east
side of the plaza. For the past
few years he served as joint
agent for the New Mexico Cen
trail and D. & R. G. at Union de-
pot. His successor in that office
is Frank B. Mcbride who has
been cashier and operator. H.
H. Adams, of Del Norte, Colo,
will temporarily fill the post va
Gated by Frank Mcbride. New
Mexican.
F. A. Davis, who lives north
west of Willard, recently de-
livered a car of beans of his own
raising-41, 900 pounds at that
station for shipment. He has
more beans to sell. Not many
beans are shipped from Willard,
and in our report three weeks
ago of the number of cars
shipped out of the county, no
shipments from Willard were in
cluded. Mr.. Davis thinks six or
eight cars have been shipped from
there. When the beans are prac-
tically cleaned up, we will try to
get the figures and include the
Willard shipments. Our report
three weeks ago of 11S cars
shipped out to that date was
short whatever had been shipped
from Willard. 1t is now certain
that our estimate on that date of
fifty cars yet to ship, was short.
A case of very general interest
decided by Judge Medler this
week was that of Vanderford vs.,
Wagner. Corn and cane belong
ing to the plaintiff were de-
stroyed by the stock of the de-
fendant. The proof showed the
amount of crop destroyed, that
the plaintiff had two wires
around part of his place and one
wire around part; that the
plaintiff had served notice upon
defendant that his stock were
destroying crops of the plaintiff
and that he would sue for dam
