Fifth Car of Sugar Beets

The fifth carload of sugar beets
grown on the test patches of The
N~si'Ia vally this sason has lust beer
dipped to the factory of the Holly
Sugar company tt Swink, Colo. The
showing that has been made has beer
most satisfactory. according to the
statement of w. B. Vaudeville, loca'
manager for the company. The yield
and sugar content of the beets both
compare very favorable with those OF
Colorado.
The best record made by any of the
experimental growers this year was
made bv E. c. Stopp. who lives below
Fort Fillmore. Mr.. Stopp produced a
little more than nineteen and a quar-
ter tons Of beets per acre. with an
average sugar content Of IS per cent.
This is better than the tonnage and
sugar content showing of Colorado by
a vide margin.
Apparently the Holly Sugar Com
pany is thoroughly sttisfied as to the
results of its experiments. 1t is re-
ported there now remains nothing
but the approval of the COMPANY be-
fore the>deal for the factory site is
closed. The abstract has been sent to
Colorado and probably will be pass

$500 REWARD

Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) reward
will be paid to anyone~ furnishing information
leading to the discovery of the body of Clyde
D. Armour, who was probably murdered
on Monday, the 23rd day of October, 1916.
Clyde D. Armour and a companion, who went
under the name of E. w. Blancett, were driv-
ing from Las Vegas to Santa Fe, in a
nearly new Oldsmobile automobile.
The car had baggage rack, skeleton
iron frame on left side of running board and
a white canvass cover extending from 'front.'
seat covering back of car. When the auto
left Las Vegas both young men were
in the car and when it arrived at Santa Fe,
New Mexico, E.. W. Blancett (companion)
Armour, registered at the Montezuma hotel
as such and had all the papers and baggage of
Clyde D. Armour.
An old Mexican man says he saw this auto
pass IN tht road going to Santa Fe on above
date about a mile above Canoncito about 4 o..
clock in the afternoon, only one man in car,
ing in a strange manner. Clyde D. Armour
has never been seen alive since leaving Las
Vegas and was unquestionally murdered by
E. w. Blancett, his companion, who stole his
car, money and effects. The body will no doubt
be found near the road, in an arroyo, or the
rocks, or covered with brush, or possibly bur-
led, but doubtful, as deed was committed in
short time. The description of Clyde D. Ar
mour, the murdered young man, is as follows:
Five feet eleven inches tall, medium
build, weight about l65 lbs, blue eyes,
brown hair, age 81 years, face rather slen-
der, prominent nose, features otherwise
regular, long slender hands, probably
wore flannel shirt, union suit underwear
and button shoes.
E. w. Blancett, his companion, who un-
doubtedly committed the murder, is described
as follows:
About five feet eight or nine inches tall,
medium stout build, weight aboutl45 lbs,
to 160 lbs, blue eyes, sandy or light
colored hair, age about Is years, face
round and rather full and florid com.
plexion, had gold tooth in 'front.' on upper
jaw, inclined to be boastful and talk
alive.
An additional reward of Five Hundred
Dollars ($50O.OO) will be paid for informa.
ton leading to the arrest of person described
as E. ". Blancett who was in Denver prior to
Oct, 20, 1916.
