ALLEN DEFEATED BY
CHUCK KENNEY

What is said to have been the
best battle ever staged in the
Southwest was witnessed by a
crowded house Tuesday evening
when Young Allen was defeated
by Chuck Kenney in a fifteen
round go. The men had met a
few weeks previous in a ten
round mill and the referee had
decided the affair as a draw and
a return match was immediate
~ arranged. Both men had been
training for the battle and it
appears that Kenney had made
the better headway The fight
was fast and furious from the
first bell. After ten rounds had
rolled round the only way the
contest could have been decided
was a draw. No decision was
given and the men were re-
matched for a five round bout,
which resulted in Kenney's vic
tory. This was certainly a scien-
tifc battle and the men were
evenly matched. Many Of the
Allen men thought the decision
should have been a draw, but il
was popular with the house,
Allen is a good boy and i
is hoped that a return mattel
with Kenney will be arranged
Two preliminary bouts were alsc
staged which were a good eXhi
bition of the manly game. Geo
Krebbs came down from Hachi
Ia as Kenney's manager, whici
also was a factor i'm kenney'!
gaining the decision, having tn,
assistance of expert advice.

Mr.. Kerr needs no introduce

so WOLVES AND 81
MOUNTAIN LIONS KILLED

From the report of the New
Mexico cattle and horse growers
association it appears that this
state association of cattlemen Is
doing their share towards elim'-
mating the destructive gray wolf
and mountain lion. This report
shows that during the past Is
months the association paid
bounty on 53 grown wolves or
lobos, 27 wolf puppies, 81 grown
mountain lions and five lion
kittens.
These animals came mostly
from the southwestern part Of
| the state, from the counties Of
Grant, Luna. Sierra and Socorro.
The association paid for tn,
| elimination of these animals.
SO, ,765 which, taking Mr.. Ligon's
Biological Survey statement.
would have cost the cattlemen
of that paticular section close to
100000. The cost for this sav.
| ing IS less than four per cent o.
| the amount involved. In othel
words through an expenditure o.
less than $4,000 the New MeXic,
cattle and horse growers asso-
citation has saved the cattlemer
of the counties mentioned, 500.
OOO-if Mr.. Ligon's figures car
be relied upon, and Mr.. LigoI
states that his estimates wer,
indeed very conservative.

The enrolment in the Column
bus public school is now ap-
preaching the 200 mark and is
expected to go beyond when all
the pupils enter. There has
been some trouble in securing
school books, which is probably
the reason that more children
have not enrolled.
The names of the teachers are
as follows:
G Green, principal, upper
grades, Claudia E. Lyles, 4th and
5th grades, Claudia Whittle. 2d
and Sd grades, Wilmoth Cannon
and Mary Law Swope, lst grade,
Chas. II. Southern, B. S., gener-
I'll assistant and music.
Because Of the overflow of
the first grade two teachers were
required. The school has the first
eight grades and the high school
first year Music, manual train
ing, and domestic science will be
given some attention. Typewrit-
ing has been put in, the eighth
and ninth grades only taking it.
School is running well. The
great trouble is the short noon
of one hour. but the state law
requires a certain number of
| hours. Or. j. l.. Maddox acted
| As substitute several days, until
Mr.. Southern could report Oc-
tober I'd.
MIR. Green is building himself
a dwelling, having purchased a
lot. Some of the other teachers
are thinking of doing likewise.
Every effort is being made to
keep the school water supply
clean. The board have had acov-
er put on the tank and ordered
the tank cleaned monthly.
Mr.. Southern reported for
work Monday, coming from the
state of Tennessee.
Miss Swope, well known here,
| is giving private music lessons
after school hours.
A Spanish class will be given
nights at the school.
The boys are planning on
| baseball and basket ball for re-
cess time.
The teaching corps work to-
gether quite well. Each grade
teacher is an expert in her line

TELL Us WHO Is
NOW RESPONSIBLE

Who is now responsible for
the condition of the Luna cUun-
ty roads is a question Governor
Mcdonald should awnser oetore
he asks for the support of the
voters Before the first road
commissioners were appointed
Mcdonald should answer before
a democratic delegation was ~
Santa Fe and was asked who
they wanted for their road
board. The delegation, COM
posed of the leading democrats
and best men in the county. de-
yidcd on Fred Sherman. James
A. Rhea and Chas. Heath. After
the course of a few months the
governor finally appointed q
board. tn democrats whom he
had asked for their recommen-
dation were surprised to learn
there was not a man on the
board who they had recommend
ed. Did Governor Mcdonald 40
this because he thought he was
better acquainted with the men
than their neighbOrs?
Since that time there has
been various changes in the road
board. The road funds have
been wasted. DR.. Swope, one
IF the present members of the
board, wanted a road to his
mining property in the Tres
Hermanas mountains. Ac-
cording to the financial state
ment $1,000 was spent on his
Dad. According to Mr.. Heath
there was never any appropri-
alton for this road at any regu-
lar meeting. Still the money
was expended on it last the
same.
Now the county is badly in
need Of some road work and
a board. One member has ten
dered his resignation. one is out
of the county and MIR. Heath
| thing. II the Governor would
without the power to do any
appoint a man to fill the vacan-
cy there would be a working
! board. He alone is responsible
for the present condition. He
-ook it upon himself to select
she board and it has been a fail
ure. He has had the resigna-
! tion of Mr.. Kelly for a month
and has made no appointment
If he will not appoint the mer
the people want why does hC
not appoint who he wants OF
the board and let us have some
one on which to place the re
sponsibility?
/ The board has always beer
composed of two democrats anC
one republican. Now it makes
! no difference to US whether the
board is composed of three re
publicans. three democrats o.
! three anarchists if we get the
results.
Governor Mcdonald was NJ
boubt placed on the ticket thii
year with the hopes of hi
strengthening it, but when W,
review his attitude toward tn,
road question it can be plainl,
seen he can do the democra
state ticket no good in Luni
county.
