fore they had finished, and the butler
announced "Mr. Thompson" A mo-
ment later the district attorney, dark,
the servant, shook Halls hand and
bowed over that Of Mrs. Hall. The
master OF the house watched the two
sullenly as he thought of the contents
Of the anonymous note.

jerked out suddenly. And it is mighty
good Of you, Thompson, TO consent TO
act as my wife's escort this evening
while am gone" He kissed his wife
lightly, nodded to the district attorney
and swung out Of the house. Hardly

Mrs. Hall threw herself into the arms
OF Justin Thompson.
"Must we go to the theater, Justin?
she asked.
The man stroked her hair. "Not If
you don't wish 1t, darling. We can
have quiet evening here" The two
wandered into the library.
Two hours elapsed. The great house
had settled down to shadowy silence.
Mrs. Hall and Justin Thompson had
drawn their chairs close to an open
fireplace. The servants had retired to
IN upper floor, and the couple were
apparently absolutely alone. Sudden
ly Thompson leaned forward, listening
woman at his side, he rose softly and
peered through the draperies into the
other room. Before the private safe of
Hall n masked man was crouching.
Thompsons self control was remark
, able. He grasped heavy cane in the
corner. Three swift, catlke steps and
the next second the cane descended
with brutal force, and the figure Of the
intruder crumpled on to the floor. the
mask slipping from the features. Al
though Thompson did not recognize the
features, they were those Of Bruce
Larnigan! Besides, the district attor-
ney was given no time for speculation.
At almost the same instant as his blow
Mrs. Hall pulled aside the draperies.
WAHh n scream at the sight which met
her startled eyes, she sprang into the
room just as the hall door was jerked
open and another actor appeared as
part of the strange drama. 1t was
her husband.

And then without a word his hand
flashed back to his pocket and he was

conscious figure OF Bruce Iarnigan.
When he Strengthened the smoking re

to catch her fainting form. The next

given by the police, and SO the case
dragged ON until the day arrived for
the trial.
The case was placed in the hands of
District Attorney Thompson for the
state. He said he was certain of "A
quick verdict and one which would es.
tablish beyond doubt that Hall had
met his death at the hands of Bruce
Larnigan while the latter was trying
to burglarize the house.

One of Intense Interest in Terminals like Clovis

State Corporation Commission
the towns are divided into three
classes. namely A B and G.
Clovis comes under the "B"
classification. The rates are also
regulated by the Commission
according to the classification.
Albuquerque in class "A" pays
$4.00 for business phones. Santa
Fe and Silver City pay the same.
Roswell and Carlsbad pay So. SO.
The new rates will become
effective when the new exchange
is in operation, but in the mean
time, interest centers on that 80
year franchise. 1t is said that a
majority of the aldermen favor
it. Elk. Mayor Ramey opposes it.
saying that the city's franchises
are its future wealth and should
be guarded as closely as the
treasure chest. Its up to the

r. H. Miser Dead

r. H. Miser, proprietor of the
Cotter Hotel, died at his home in
this city Monday at IL o'clock
and was buried in the Clovis
Cemetery Tuesday afternoon.
Although a sufferer for some
time. his condition was not con-
sidered particularly serious until
just before the end came. Mr..
Miser came to Clovis many years
ago and was one of our most be-
loved citizens. He leaves to
mourn his loss a brother, sister,
wife and three children. He
was a little over 60 years of age
and was born in Lebanon. Mo.
Rev. C. W. Lambert, of the
Christian church, preached a
most consoling sermon at the
family home. The Magic City
Furniture Company had charge
of the funeral arrangements.

On March 20 the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers. Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, The Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen and the
Order of Railroad Conductors
submitted their terms for a new
wage and working scale to the
Santa Fe Railroad and stimuli
taneously to other railroads.
These organizations represent
about 400.0 employees on 528
railroads in the United States.
We would not attempt to predict
the outcome, but that the situ-
alton is serious there is no ques-
tion of doubt. The railroads
claim that if they grant these
demands, they will either be
thrown into bankruptcy or that
they will be compelled to raise
the freight rates and make the
people pay them. The railroad
employees claim that the increas-
ed cost of living has made such
a move n necessary and that the
working hours are unsatisfac-
tory. The News is impartial to
the employees and the railroad in
this matter, but there is another
and far greater interest than
these which might be concern
ed THE PUBLIC. Since the
public might suffer. the News
may have very much to say on
this subject in the future. The
employees demands are as fol-
lows:

Service 100 miles or less. 8 hours
or less will constitute a day, ex-
cept in Passenger Service. Miles
