SERIOUS ACCIDENT

While coming Out from Tucumcari
last Sunday afternoon, DR.. and Mrs.
Herring came near losing their lives
or being badly crippled, They were
coming up the Ragand Cap Rock hill
and on making one Of those sharp
turns, they met n car coming down,
and TO avoid collision, the Doctor
brought his car to stop near the
embankment and in some way lost
his control Of the car. and to prevent
turning over. headed straight down
hill into pine tree which was up
rooted, hut luckily stopped the car.
The front axle was bent and the radia-
tor smashed. Happily neither the
Doctor nor Mrs Herring were injured
other than few bruises and being
badly scared. Ths is only one Of the
few accidents that have occurred on
this hill, and an effort should be made
to have those sharp curves cut off.
rs one damage suit against the county
will more than pay for the change to
eliminate those dangerous curves. 1t
should be attended 90 before some one
Is killed or crippled for life

tom LAWSON ANNOUNCES

On editorial page this week will bc
found the announcement Of Thos. y.
Lawson, of this city, as n candidate
for county clerk Of Quay county, sub
ject TO the action Of the Democratic
primary.
Mr.. Lawson was born in Erath
county, Texas, in 1883. lie was reared
on farm and educated in the public
school, and college Of his home coun-
ty. The following is taken from the
Stephcnvllc Empire, paper publish
ed whore Mr.. Lawson formerly lived,
and shows what the folks back there
think Of him.
We note from Tucumcari paper
of lest week that Tom Lawson has
announced for county clerk Of Quay
county. We are hopeful that this old
Democratic hoy will Toe successful at
the polls, for no worthier son Of grand
old Erath has ever passed beyond her
borders to establish himself in a
new country. Tom Lawson was "a
worker on his fathers Erath county
farm, "A worker in the college hero,
worker in the print shop, a worker
in the bank and will still be "A faith
ful worker when the records Of Quay
county are placed in his charge if the
voters out there honor him with the
trust"
About seven years ago Mr.. Lawson
came TO Tucumcari to accept "A po-
sition with the First National Bank,
and since that time has been in the
employ OF that institution. He will
resign that position in order TO make
the campaign.
Mr.. Lawson Is well known in this
city and the farmers will remember
him when they renew his acquaintance
while out campaigning. Tucumcari
mas no better material for any Office
and If Mr. Lawson is the choice Of
the Democratic 9rty he will keep the
clerks Office up to the high standard
it now maintains under the manage
ment of Mr. Finegan. Competency,
efficiency and accommodation will be
Mr. Lawson's motto as that is the
kind Of man he has always proven
himself to he.
Mr.. Lawson is not politician but
he makes and holds your acquaintance
by his genial and unaffected manners.
Such men as Tom Lawson arc what
New Mexico needs in charge OF Off
cial affairs and Quay county Demo-
Gratis will make no mistake if they
should choose him as their nominee.

No Games During War,
but Prepare Now for
Four Years Hence.

Paris. April iO.-Baron Pierre de
Colbertin. president of the lnterna-
tional Olympic Games Committee. stat
ed to-day to The Associated Press that
no Olympic games would be held dur
ing the present year or while the war
lasted. lie also supplemented the an
nouucement with some interesting de-
tails.
Though there VIII be no Olympic
games IN 1916 or during the war said
the baron, preparations for the games
in 1920 are beng made as far as pos
sIble. Four cities already have eX-
pressed d wish 10 have the 1920 Olym-
nc games held within their precincts,
namely, Antwerp, Lyons, Amsterdam
and Havana.
"ln the last named capital applica-
ticn is about 20 be made or has been
made 90 the Cuban Congress for 5000
coo francs on account o. The prehmi-
nary expenses alone. Antwerp already
had sigulhed desire 20 have the games
held there before the war. Since the
outbreak Of the war the city has re-
peated the request and the Burgo-
master has received d letter from King
the fact.
The meeting Of the internetional
committee planned 10 be held at Nsiee

counties would be willing TO compete

1T is impossible 70 say what M

Germans and Austrians may not be IN
vlted TO participate
