A Jackrabbit Club

Bob Robertson is boosting the
organization of a rabbit club, the
purpose of which is to extermin-

ship fee of one dollar is charged
which is placed in the bank to be
divided among the three members
bringing in the greatest number
of scalps. This is a move in the
right direction, and as there is no
limit as to territory of member
ship several hundred members

The Boys and the Gun

Young Robinson who Is staying
at the home of his sister, Mrs. Y.
S. Shifflet northwest Of town
was accidentally shot Saturday
night while preparing for a hunt
ing trip,
He and another boy had clean
ed the guns preparatory for the
trip when the other boy took
down a revolver to take with
them. Robinson told him it was
unnecessary to take it and when
he placed it back on the shelf it
was struck in some manner and
the load discharged, the ball pas
sing through Robinsons chest, LODI
ging in the back. 1t is supposed
to have passed through the left
lung. 1t looked like a fatal shot
and he was hurried to the PLY.
sicians' Hospital where the bullet
was located and removed.
Both the boys were so excited
that neither one knows who had
hold of the gun when it was dis
charged, but from the appearance
of the wound the gun was some
little distance from Robinson when
he was shot, butt was purely &C.
cidental, and is only another les
son to everybody to be careful
when handling a gun no matter
whether it is loaded or not. Tu-

UNION
Has Bad Look.

N. A. Hypes, one of the pro-
minent farmers of the Sofia
neighborhood was brutally muir
dered by Dewey johnson Of
Clayton at that place. As near
as we! can learn the facts are as
follows:
Hypes came into Clayton late
and was looking for a ~feed-yard
to get some feed for his team.
There is a feed-yard next to
Johnson's residence and finding
no one at the feed-yard,. Hypes
inquired at Johnson s house about
getting some feed, installing that
house for the residence of the
owner Of the feed yard.
Mrs. Johnson became alarmed
at this as the hour was late and
phoned for the marshal and also
to her husband. The marshal
came and met Hypes walking to-
ward town. Johnson started down
that way and met another party
and asked him if he was the man
that had been inquiring at his
house for feed. Finding he had
not found the man he went on
until he met Hypes and the mar
shall and asked the same ques-
ton. When informed that Hypes
was the man he struck him,
knocking him against a brick
grocery store, then again struck
him. knocking him down his head
striking the pavement, and then
kicked him and beat him some
more. According to eye witness
sess the marshal stood by and
watched TYPES beaten up. Hypes
suffered a fractured skull and
died at about three o'clock the
next afternoon. Johnson was
placed under $4,000 bond and a
guard placed over him to await
his preliminary.
Hypes was a good citizen, mo
ffensive, a Christian preacher
and in addition to farming had
sold Wilbur's stock food for
several years. He was respected
by all who knew him.-Des

Bank President Sued

The Clovis National Bank and
its president, Alex Shipley, have
respect 'ully been the object of
two causes for action, in the sum
of twenty-five thousand dollars
instituted by S. C. Pandolfo, pro-
moter of the Pan Motor Car Coz
headquarters unknown, in which
Pandolfo alleges that his reputa-
ton has been injured as a result
of the debate which took place in
the Elk's Auditorium in this city
last week; which debate or dis
cussion took place at the invita-
ton of Nh. Pandolfo.
Mr.. Pandolfo in his opening
remarks before the audience in
the auditorium on the evening
in mention, invited the criticism
and opinion of local business men
with reference to his proposed
proposition and his stock selling
in this vicinity. Mr.. Shipley &C
copied the invitation of Mr..
Pandolfo and proceeded in bust
ness like manner to dissect the
feasibility of the proposed propo-
sition, anticipating M. Pandolfo's
possibility of materializing that
which he proposed. MIR. Ship
ley's criticism and opinion were
mastery and exhaustive in the
utmost, and it is believed that
the reaction from Mr.. Shlpley's
criticism, which was invited, is
the occasion for the suit which
has been filed against the local
banking institution and its presl-
dent.-Clovis Journal.

officers at Pecos who went to the
Pecos postoffice and failed TO find
the letter. The officers went down
on the same train. Mr.. Cudd
was then arrested on suspicion
and Immediately searched and the
bill found in his possession. Up
on being charged with the theft
he broke down and confessed.
The mail between Carlsbad and
Pecos had been plundered for
more than a year and it was very
well known by the postoffice peo-
pie here and in Pecos and else
where that Cudd was the guilty
party but it was up to the inspec-
tors to work up a case that
would land the game and now
the authorities have him safe, but
he came W thin an ace of giving
them the slip. When the train
arrived here Friday evening he
asked permission to go to his
house and change clothes and was
accompanied by one of the in
spectors who waited outside while
he went in the house. The in
spector waited for some time and
then went in and found his bird
had flown, Cudd going out the
back door and hid until after
dark, and then walked to the
Mcmillan dam where he was
seen by someone Saturday and
where he got a ride with some
people who were going to Ros-

on the street and placed in Jail.

solution will be arrived at with
much more casa in the September

supposed possible.

deputies of the Sheriff. office,
and sent to the county Jail at
Silver City pending a hearing in
Justice Court, At the time, Mr..
Krebaum, father of the murdered
gial, insisted that she was an
important character in the affair,
but the idea was not given much
favor other than she could tell a
great deal, perhaps, Of what hap
pened there. The idea was pre-
valent at first that the deed was
committed by an outlaw band Of
Villistas or other bandits from
TX Mexico who had crossed over
the Border on one of their usual
raids.
Among other things developed
at the trail was that Lher maiden
name was Josephena Pacheco,
and she lisa sister ofthe notorious
Pachecos who are implicated in
the Villa raid on Columbus They
are charged with being informers
to the Villa and his officers, and
it was through them and their
like that the partial success of
the raid was made possible. The
Pachecos are noted along the
border as being an evil and I'M
demanded family.
Belief is growing here that she
herself and not the man Was the
actual murderer. Especially since
the hearing has this belief gained
ground on account of the new
developments and findings of the
relatives Of the murdered couple.
The woman was bound over to
the grand jury, and without an
allowance of bail. She will be
watched closely, and any escape
which is feared will be tried, will
be nipped in the bud. Lords

Housebreakers Nabbed

Last winter several houses at
Cloudcroft were broken into and
goods taken. A few weeks age
the offers at Cloudcroft got a tip
that some of the goods were at
Mayhill. Sam Nimmo went down
and the parties who had the goods
stated that they were purchased
of a man named George Witt,
who had moved to that section
last year from the plains country
east of Roswell.
He went over to Wits premis-
es and arrested him and prepar-
ed to take him to the county jail
at Alamogordo. The prisoner
asked for a few moments time to
look after some goats at his corral
and Sam being inclined to be a
little easy on him in view of the
wife's tears, permitted him to GO
out to look after the goats. Witt
improved the opportunityto make
his getaway.
Recently his brother in-law, a
man by the name of Louis West
who had been implicated in the
the thefts, also, it is alleged, was
unprecedented at Artesia. An Off
Ger took him to Roswell and C,
H. Haynes went over to that
place and brought him to Jail here

was at Lubbock. A few days la

the roar of man eating lion sets
the camp into panic of fear Az
last the lion stalks into the ten
ted village and the father, moth
er, child and tigress are forced
to seek refuge in their cabin. But
the lion springs at the door in an
attempt to reach its prey. Moth
ing but blank cartridges are left
in the camp, and the father vain
! ly fires these through a window
at the huge king of the Jungle,
but without effect.
AS the door is about to give
way all seek refuge in an inner
room, closed off by a barred door.
In desperation the father let's the
tigress out through a back way,
fastening a note to it in hopes
that it may be found by their
hunter friend, which results sue
cessfully. The lion has meantime
burst into the outer room and is
springing savagely against the
barred door of the inner cham
ber.
On the arrival of the hunter
bold plan is carried into effect. A

falls into the snare. The house
is then fired and the beast burned
