COUNTY WANTS
DAMAGES FROM ARMY
FOR WEAR ON ROADS
HEAVY MOTOR. TRUCKS HAVE
PLAYED HAVOC WITH DEMINc.
COLUMBUS HIGHWAY

Columbus. N. M. Dec. 27.-Colonel
g. F. F~arnsworth, base commander,
has appointed a committee composed
of Captain O'Conner and Captain
Walsh to go over the Columbus
Deming road for the purpose Of esti-
mating the probable damage done to
the highway by reason OF the road
being used by the heavy government
trucks.
The basis for the claim for dam
ages as presented to the military
committee was the damage done By
the heavy trucks, the lighter travel
not being considered. The road board
estimated that one.half Of the wear
and tear OF the road was due to the
travel of the trucks, and the other
half due to the, ordinary travel and
the lighter government vehicles. The
commissioners expressed their will
lingness to go $3.50 with the military
in putting the road back into shape
ready for ~surfacing. They estimated
that the grading cost $500 per mile,
and damages are asked for As miles
or $4,000, and in addition the board Is
asking that the military committee
recommend in their report an addi-
tional appropriation to pay one-half
the expense OF surfacing the road
from here to Deming, the commission
ers agreeing to appropriate a sufficient
sum from the bond issue to com
plete the job. They estimate that It
will cost $500 per mile to surface, and
the route proposed to surface Is 30
miles in length. In case the commit
tee agreed to do this an appropriation
of Sl7, 100 would be asked for The
board offers to keep up the necessary
repairs after the road is once put in
shape, and there will be no further
claims for damages from the govern
meht on this road Part Of the mill
tary committee will go over the road
before making their recommendations

champion WILLIAMS
IS ABOUT TO Retire
Bantam Title Holder Will Leave the
Ring Next Year and Never
Come Back.

Baltimore. Md, Aug 15.-If any am
bilious young bantam desires to snatch
the championship crown from the bulg-
ing dome Of Kid Williams, he will have
to do 1t quickly, for the king of BAN
tams is out with the announcement that
he will quit before another year has
rolled past
williams will be "a years of age on
December 5. 1917, and he declares that be-
fore that date he will leave the ring and
never attempt a comeback. 1t is his
purpose to retire undefeated. but he will
not dodge a match In the meantime
with any bantam in the game
While Williams chief object in retiring
Is to go into some business, still one of
the reasons Is the unpleasant manner in
which he has been bounded by cheap
managers of third-class bantams. who,
after issuing a challenge to the cham
plon have followed It by the claim that
the champion was afraid of their man.
"If the promoters give liberal purses
and the crop of bantams is good enough
Williams will fight every week during
the coming winter" Manager wartnik
said And he will fight every bantam
weight who thinks he has a chance for
the title, then Williams will quit for
all time, and 1t will not be one Of those
Battling Nelson retirements."
