TOM USES KNIFE
Rocky Ford's Notorious bad Man"
Claims Another Victim

After decent, peaceable life of u
few months Rocky Ford's notorious
bad man." Tom Supener. has again
gone upon a rampage. this time with
more serious effect than usual, for his
victim, Bert E. Budy, is lying at his
home with a knife wound in his left
lung.
The melee took place early Wednes-
day morning near the New Method
Laundry, where Mr.. Budy was loading
his auto with the Ordway and Sugar
City bundles. There appears to have
no eye-witnesses to the melee, which
Supener claims was started by Budy,
who he says struck him in the face
with his fist and then got the auto crank
and chased him around u tree until he
got his knife open and took a swipe at
Budy that ended the scrap. Bert says
that Tom was the aggressor and that
he parried two blows from the knife
before he was stabbed and that not
content with stabbing him Tom kicked
him several times in the ribs after he
was down.
Budy was removed to his home and
DIR. Cary Pollock summoned, who found
that the knife had penetrated a distance
of - inches and pierced the left lung.
Tho painfully bruised by the kicks no
ribs were broken and the doctor an
ticipates no trouble excepting from the
knife wound. which may yet develop
serious consequences.
Supener was arrested and hurried to
the county jail at La Junta, where he
will have to await the outcome of his
murderous use of knife.

LET'S GO TO LA JUNTA
And Celebrate the Glorious Fourth
with Noise and Acclaim

For the first time in many years
Rocky Ford will not put on celebra-
tion of any kind on Independence Day
because we've all decided to grasp this
opportunity first in decade, it
seems-to see how our neighbors of La
Junta can pull off an entertaining stunt.
The county seat town has prepared
program for the Fourth that should
please everyone, the celebration begin
ming with an industrial parade in which
half hundred merchants will have
floats and decorated automobile pa
rade for which SIS in prizes has been
hung up; then there will be double
header ball game that will be hum
mer as the Rocky Ford Cubs take part;
a free barbecue at noon and the most
elaborate display of pyrotechnics ever
seen in the Arkansas Valley, it is
claimed, as the closing feature of the
day.
The Santa Fe has made an open rate
of one and one-third fare, good for
July 8 to 5, and there'll sure be mob
down to help La Junta to celebrate the
Glorious Fourth right, even If it takes
them until next day to get home.

sWINK ESTATE PR0BATED
Affairs of Grand Old Man
and Greatest Benefactor OF Ark
ansas Valley Are Closed

ansas Valley Are Closed
The estate of George W. Swink,
which was brot to close last week.
was the largest ever probated in
the county court of Otero county.
Senator Swink WAS so intimate
ly connected with the business,
industrial, social and political life
of the county that few facts con-
cerDing his estate will be of in
terest:
The will was filed for record on Ooto-
ber 5. 1910. 1t named as executors and
trustees H. A. Dawley. Lewis Swink.
and Belle Daring. Letters testamentary
we're subsequently, issued to them and
of the estate continuously.
Mrs. Daring was placed in charge Of
the estate office and has performed or
supervised most Of the clerical work Of
the executors.
Under the will the executors as trustees
were charged with the duty Of complet-
ing the Swnk irrigation system south Of
Rocky Ford, covering several thousand
acres of land and known as the Swink
Ditch and Reservoir company. They
have spent in the completion Of this sys-
tenn over 100000. finally turning the
system over to the company under the
contract entered into with that company
by Senator Swink. Prior to his death
Senator Swink had expended s5oo,ooo.
upon this system.
The inventory value Of the estate was
100000. OF this amount S5oo.ooo
was composed of bills receivable and
corporate stock. inventor:ed at their face
value. but actually worth considerably
less.
The actual work OF administration fall
ing upon the executors was very great
as shown BY the eleven semi annual re-
ports on file in the county court. These
reports are complete in every detail
The immense amount Of clerical work is
shown by the fact that the vouchers to-
tai 22e7 in number.
In the county court the record work in
this estate totals 565 pages. single
spaced. in addition to 95 court record
entries. The total court costs paid
amount to szs6.22.
The estate paid $4,000 ioheritence
tax. including interest. The inheritance
tax department appraised the estate in
1912 at sz25,ooo. making deductions
of $4,000 and fixing the net value OF
the estate at S5z5.ooo. This would
have rendered the estate liable for an in
heritance tax Of over $4,000. The
executors filed exceptions TO tho report.
and Judge Mcdaniel refused TO make an
order fixing the tax at that amount, re-
gardlnR the appralsement as excessive.
He held that under the statute. the ap-
praisement must be predetermined by
the county court. The inheritance tax de
partment contended that the courts duty
in the matter was purely clerical, while
the court held that il was judicial. After
some time reappralscment was made
by the department. resulting in fixing the
tax at the above amount. This was ap-
proved by the court.
The estate was finally closed on June
5th. the property Of the estate being
distributed to the heirs under an agree
ment entered into by them
Thus is closed the earthly affairs
of George w. Swink, who in his
liftime did more for the welfare

NATIONAL GUARD
CALLED OUT.
War With Mexico Moment.
arily Expected
100, 1000 MILITIAMEN
ARE MODELLING
To Protect the Border While Reeu-
lars Take the Offensive in Case
of Hostilities

10 FTOteCt the bOTuci "hic NSsu
lars Take the Offensive in Case
of Hostilities
On Sunday last stand WAS
taken by President Wilson that
had been anxiously awaited by
everyone who had been watching
the trend of affairs in Mexico.
This stand was made public when
the President called out the mil
itia of every state in the Union
for service along the Mexican
border.
The reason for the call was
made known by Secretary Baker,
who issued the following state
ment:
"In view Of the disturbed conditions on
the Mexican border and in order to
assure complete protection for all Amer
leans the president has called out sub
stantially all the state militia and will
send them to the border, wherever and
as fully as General Funston determines
them to be needed for the purpose stated.
II all are not needed an effort will be
time to time so as to distribute the duty.
This call for the militia is wholly un-
related to General Pershing's expedition
and contempates no additional entry in
to Mexico. except as may be necessary
to pursue bandits who attempt outraRes
on American soil.
The militia are being called out SO as
to leave some troops in the several states
They will be mobilizsd at their home
stations where necessary recruiting can
be done"
The real reason for the martial
move by the American war de-
partment, however, was the ex-
pected reception by General Car.
rama of note signed by Secre'
tary Lansing, conveying Presi-
dent Wilson's rejection of the de-
mand for withdrawal of American
soldiers from Mexico, uccompan-
led by specific warning that an
attack on the troops "will lead to
the gravest consequences" In
plain terms, it accused General
Carranza of having brot matters
to the verge of war by open hog
tility toward the United States
and failure to safeguard even the
lives of Americans in Mexico or
on the border. from the lawless
elements among his countrymen.
In sternest terms the note repud-
lated and resented imputations of
bad faith aud ulterior motives
brot against the Washington gov
ernment in the Mexican commun-
ication to which it is a reply.
General Carranza was informed
10 so many words that protection
of its own borders is the only OBJ
ject sought by the United States
and was told that object would be
pursued whatever the conse-
quences might be.
This note reached the hands Of
the chief of the de facto govern
ment on Tuesday, and since then
the American government has
been awaiting declaration of
war or deliberate act of war by
Cai rama.
Await His Move
While the United States awaits
Carranza's next move, steps to
make the border secure against
whatever may come are going
steadily ahead.
Mobilization of the national
guardsmen is proceeding expedi-
tiously in all states, and by this
evening it is reported that several
states will be ready to muster in
their quota.
Since early on Monday the work
of mobilizing the Colorado nation
