FRENCH WRITES
ON THE ROADS

James A. French, state engineer,
sent the following letter to the |
Lordsburg Chamber of Commerce
which is self-explanatory and |
which shows Mr.. French's loyal
interest in this city and southern
New Mexico:
Mr.. Faris V. Bush,
Lordsburg Chamber of
Commerce,
Lordsburg, N. M.
Dear Sir:
l have yours of the 18th, in which |
you invite me, at the request of the !
chamber of commerce of Lords !
burg to join the motorists and good |
roads enthusiasts of Lordsburg,
N. NJ, Stafford, Duncan, Solomon
vile, Clifton, San Simon, Bowie
and Wilcox, Arizona, on a motor
cade to Deming and Ell Paso, leav-
ing Lordsburg January "a; your
object being to retard the action
of Douglas and Bisbee to turn off
the Borderland route east of Lords
burg and go via Hachita. l no
ticed by last nights paper there
was about ten feet of snow at
Lordsburg, and no doubt by the
24th it will be practically impos-
sible for travelling in that country.
However, | have just returned
from the southern part of the
state, and it will be impossible for
me to join the party at this time,
and as stated above, do not believe
t will be feasible owing to the
storms that have been all over that
part of the country recently.
However, wish to state that the
Ell Paso and Arizona contingents
requested me to consider that road
from Rodeo to Hachita and to So
zorro, but wish to state that l ex-
pressed my opinion that all the
state fund would go on the Silver
City-Lordsburg road. The fact is
hat probably from Rodeo to Ha-
hita would not be very expensive
road to put into shape, but l feel
atisfied that neither the state nor
county at this time can do any
work between Rodeo and Hachita.
t is very likely that any future
Dad that is we'll built and main
5ained will be the logical line of
;ravel for travellers coming from
Douglas and Bisbee or from Cliff
ton, Arizona, going to Ell Paso
would follow the better roads. Be-
.ieve it will be the objective to
open this road from Deming to
Silver City and Lordsburg, both
~ the county and state in the near
future, and disregard the other
work at this time.
Very truly yours,

SHOOTING NEAR PYRAMID

Sunday afternoon about 2:3O
o'clock George Hayden and Robert
M. Reynolds were putting up the
frame work of a goat herder's
shack about mile south of Pyra-
mid peak when Eugene "Curley"
ROLAND of neighboring COW
camp came up to them, inquiring
as to their mission on the ground.
Mr. Hayden informed him that
they were putting up a shack to
protect their herder during the
severe weather. Mr.. ROLAND is
said to have thereupon laid his
claim to the ground stating that he
was holding the property with his
squatter's right. 1t was alleged
that hot words ensued between the
two men over the right of posses
sion of the ground and it is alleged,
as Mr.. Hayden turned to walk
away ROLAND pulled a six shooter,
pointed it at Hayden and snapped
che trigger. The gun failed to dis
charge. AS Mr.. Hayden turned to
face ROLAND the latter again pull
ed the trigger. This time the gun
discharged, the bullet entering Mr.,
Haydon's left arm above the elbow
shattering the bones. According
TO an eye witness Mr.. ROLAND stay
ed at the scene of the shooting un-
til Mr.. Reynolds had hitched the
horses to the wagon and helping
Mr.. Hayden onto the seat, drove
to Lordsburg. DR.. M. M. Crocker
attended the injured man and OBJ
tained passage for him on an east
bound freight train to Deming, all
passenger trains being annulled
At Deming an operation was per.
formed by DR.. Swope at the hospi.
tai and it is possible that the arm
will be saved. Mrs. Hayden fol.
lowed her husband to Deming by
automobile.
"Curley" ROLAND came in tt
Lordsburg Sunday night and OF
Monday morning about 9 o'clocl
was placed under arrest. His bono
was fixed at 81 900 by Justice of the
Peace G. w. Marsalis. Bond wa.
furnished and February 3 set fol
the date of preliminary hearing. A
widespread interest is bein(
shown in the case.

Good News For the City

Santa Fe, January 24-Neil B.
Samson, engineer in the employ
of the State engineers office, will
leave here tomorrow for Grant
county to make a survey for the
proposed State highway connect
ing Silver City and Lordsburg.
There is much sentiment in that
county in favor of this road, and
the greater part ofGrant county's
share of the highway bonds pro-
ceeds probably will be spent on
on it. The present road is in
very bad shape and in construct
ing the new highway the route
probably will be changed con-
siderably.

Thanks to Arizona Press

During the past four days the
newspapers along the Borderland
Route in southern Arizona have
been publishing press dispatches
and special articles sent out by
The Western Liberal telling of
the beginning of the belated work
in rebuilding the famous Border
land Route from Lordsburg to
Stems to Rodeo following the
mountain ridges. The newspap-
ers of Douglas, Bisbee, Tombstone
and other points have been kind
enough to publish Lordsburg's S
claim, and it is appreciated here.
For instance, The Tombstone
Epitaph says as follows:
Lordsburg comes to time at
last, as the following wire to the
Ell Paso Herald will show. 1t is
probable that the Arizona motor
cade would not have taken place
last week had Lordsburg shown
the spirit that is evident from
the dispatch below. Lordsburg
must realize that Tucson, Tomb
stone, Bisbee, Lowell, Warren
and Douglas want and must have,
yea, will have fair play even if
they have to go over into New
Mexico and get it bodily. How
ever, it appears from the follow
ing that Lordsburg now realizes
that with the connections that
the Borderland Route will have
from the east, it is for them tc
get in and get the traffic by theii
town. If the road from Stems tC
Rodeo is to be the one best road,
then bully for Lordsburg." 4" The
article in question follows.
