OLD SPANISH LAND GRANT
TAKING in TOWN OF TUCUM-
Carl IS FILED FOR RECORD

ing 100000 acres Of land, more or less.
Executed by Interstate Land Com
pany, by Charles Goodnight, Pres. by
+. l.. Carney, Secretary.
The execution was made before J.
y. Mcclellan, notary public, Donley
county, Texas. on July 5, 1898, as to
Charles Goodnight.
+. l.. Carney made his execution in
Jackson county, Mo-, Sept. 20, 1893.
Address of George X. Collins, 40G-l0
Westover Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. He
now appears as the owner of this vast
tract, which runs north to the Cana
dian river, south to the Cap Rock, east
20 Texas line and west to section line
cast Of Hanley, taking in Tucumcari.
II will be remembered that two or
three parties have recently arrived in
this county to look for the land they
had purchased, supposed to he por-
ton of big land grant. They gen
tlemen could not find where any com
pany or any man owned grant in
Quay county and returned home TO
prosecute the fakirs. Uncle Sam was
notified about the deal being worked
NY tneSc td0ttTnS anu tne IllnH VI tniS
old deed is no doubt clever ruse to
clear themselves of any fraud.
The deed is not worth the paper it
is written on because Uncle Sam will
he obliged to take the matter in hand
and clear the title for those who en-
tered and homesteaded such land. The
L. s. does not give a warranty deed
TO anything, but it would not be right
to let this old document interfere with
the titles of thousands upon thousands
of dollars worth of land and improve
ments. The matter will properly ad-
just itself, but until it does, the alb
stracters are up against It to know
Just what TO do.

article in the News last week and
Ne says the article did not do his part
If the county justice. They raise the

NEW LAUNDRY MACHINERY

Chas. McCrae, the laundryman, is
'ure putting his laundry in the first
class. About ten months ago he pur-
chased some Universal pressing ma
chimes. They were supposed to be the
latest things out and cost him $4,000.
This week he received four new Troy
Tandem presses, which he will use
for the better class of work such as
pressing palm beach suits, and white
suits. He also received new shirt
9leeve ironer. The old machines will
be used for ironing overalls. Mr.. Me
Crae believes in keeping his money
tied up in new machinery. There Is
nothing but what he will have in the
future and this will call for an enlarg-
ment Of his present quarters.

ENTERTAINMENT A SUCCESS

One of the best entertainments OF
the year was given at the Opera house
Friday evening by the pupils of the
Central school in connection with Il
musical program by Miss Elizabeth
Garrett, the blind daughter of the old
time resident of New Mexico, Pat Gar
rctt.
Miss Garrett Is one of the best mu-
sicians that ever visited Tucumcari,
and, being blind, made her selections
all the more wonderful. She plays the
piano nearly perfect and her vocal
numbers were excellent as she had
no trouble in reaching the highest
notes clearly and at the same time pro-
nouncing the words distinctly. Miss
Garrett made number of friends
during her stay in Tucumcari, and
being a native New Mexican, we are
proud Of her. She wrote the State
song adopted year ago and has com
posed number of difficult pieces. She
rendered six of her own pieces Friday
night and they were enjoyed Ivy all
who understand music.
The pupils-little girls and boys
in producing the operetta. THE Pink
Parasol," did their parts exceedingly
well under the leadership OF their in
structors-the teachers. Most Of the
play was in the dark and those in the
audience could not recognize the lead
ing participants, but they all did splen-
didly and the large audience, which
greeted the youngsters, was well en-
tertained and highly pleased at being
able to claim such good talent as home
production.
