GIRLS WIN, WHILE
BOYS LOSE TO LAS
VEGAS 4. S. TEAMS

Tucumcari lost one game and won
the other last Friday night when Las
Vegas played the locals at the opera
house before large and appreciative
audience.
The first game was that between
the girls. Tucumcari had it's largest
and best players in line and they made
good in every way. They put up n
clean game all the way through while
some Of the visitors resorted to many
unfair means such as knocking the
ball out Of their opponents hands, hold
ing and playing more like the boys
are allowed to play. Tucumcari was
in the lead at all times and the girls
felt sure they would win. The score
was 90 to lS in favor of Tucumcari.
The boys game was fast and furious
from the toss-up, but Las Vegas had
a fast aggregation and won the game
in the first few minutes by taking all
the conceit out Of Tucumcari's larger
lads. flite and Hayden threw goals
from every angle and it appeared that
the whole team was composed Of for
wards in the first half when it ended
with Vegas leading 2 to /. The Sec
ond half was different. The home
team made two or three scores before
Vegas had finished rejoicing over the
easy manner in which they were TAX
ing their competitors into camp. This
gave the boys more confidence. Shaft
as guard-center played star game,
while Fausnacht and Cusack were do
ing much better. Vegas fouled and
were penalized repeatedly but they
were here to win and had enough sub
stitutes to loose few men and then
continue with strong team. The
teams played fast and the spectators
were enthusiastic in their applause
even If Vegas did come out with the
long end of the score-47 to 81.

tives of the traffic department of the

the three days OF informal meetings
there the party will start over the
western division. Many of the agents
have never been over the lines, and
the tour was arranged especially to
give them an opportunity of getting
acquainted.
The Chamber of Commerce could
easily arrange for autos to give them
bird's-eye view Of Tucumcari. They
don't care for a banquet, but would
appreciate a cordial welcome by the
residents Of this city.
Perhaps it might be good scheme
to show them Tucumcari. then show
them the depot. A town is usually
judged by its depot and its streets.
Both could be wonderfully improved
il the citizens would cooperate in an
effort to accomplish the task. The
officials are scheduled to arrive here
Friday, Feb. 9 and if anything is GO
ing to be done somebody must start

SCRAP CALLED "a DRAW"
BY SPECTATORS WHO SAW IT

Two young men, 10th handy with
their mits, came together in fast
bout Wednesday afternoon in front
Of Jackson's grocery. Both men had
all the confidence necessary to win a
common battle. They were aggres-
sive and their UPPER cuts were to the
point. II was rot the usual one-sided
affair witnessed in street bouts. but
If the young men had had on mits II
would have been worth paying to see.
Both were no doubt mad. but that did
not count for anything as they "kept
their heads" and until one of them
stumbled over chicken coop it was
anybody's fight.
At this iuncture Luther Rains. the
new deputy sheriff. appeared. and ar
rested the young fellows. Took them
to the city hall and they plead guilty
before Judge Hunter, and paid their
fines. which amounted to sll each.

MAN SERIOUSLY IN.
JUREO WHEN WAGON
RUNS OVER HIS HEAD

Quite serious runaway occurred
terday when the large team hitched
to the dray wagon of Mullis Transfer
Co., became frightened and ran down
Main street TO Goldenberg corner, and
from there to Center Street, thence
east to LIST street. Here Chas. Cal
lison, who was coming from the Eager
Garage, tried to stop the team, and
did stop one of the horses. He then
stepped around in front of them TAX
ing hold Of both. They became fright
ened again and being mammoth ami
mails. proceeded as II no one had hold
Of them. Mr.. Callison was caught up
on the neckyok and carried quite a
distance before he fell to the ground
and the front wheel of the wagon pass
ed over his head, producing brain in
jury and fracturing his shoulder blade.
When the team turned north on lst
street the wagon came uncoupled AS
it ran off the end of culvert. This
perhaps is why Mr. Calison was not
killed when the wagon wheel passed
over his head. as there was nothing
hitched to the team but the tongue
and front wheels at that time, the rest
Of the wagon was scattered along the
route travelled by the horses.
Near the bank corner the wheels
struck an auto but did no damage.
The horses were finally stopped in
front Of the News Office.
Mr.. Callison has wife and three
children on his place southeast of Tu-
cumcari and until late last night it
was feared he would die from his in
iuries. His first words were when he
regained consciousness, were II am the
man that's killed, hut thought they
would run over some children"
Today he was reported out of dan
ger by the physicians at the Tucum-
carl hospital, after n slight operation
had been performed and his condition
was much improved.

SHERIFF STREET GETS AUTO
THIEF WANTED IN KANSAS

A short time ago the sheriff's Of
fice received card announcing the
theft Of an Overland auto. The theft
was made iast October at Garnett,
Kansas and IL was traced to Louisiana
by officials. II was suspicioned that
l.. A. Howe of that state was the
guilty party. He had n brother at
Nara Visa and when he could not be
found in Louisiana. it was thought
possible that he may have come TO
New Mexico. Sheriff Street was no
titled and through his efforts he got
trace of the auto and man. He fol-
lowed his clue to so miles north Of
Nara Visa and found the man and
auto on their way to parts unknown.
Howe had changed the numbers on
the machine with the exception Of
one. BY this one number Sheriff Street
was able to hold his man. The ma
chine was brought back to Nara Visa
and the man to Tucumcari and lodged
in Jail. The sheriff from Garnett,
Kas.. will be in tonight to take charge
Of Howe and return him to Kansas
where he will be punished for his
theft. He had driven the car several
thousand miles and II is hardly worth
the reward offered by the owner and
sherifY's department, but Mr.. Howe
will be placed under lock and key for
a time and will not be able to ride
and enjoy other peoples buzz wa
gons unless by special permission.

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR SAYS
WILSON Is TOO PATIENT

st. Louis, Jan. 29.--"The United
States ought to give Mexico thrash
ing now and then to let the Meyicans
know they must behave themselves" ="
United States Senator William Joel
Stone, chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee. said here today.
Senator Stone prefaced his state
ment with the opinion that President
Wilson has exhibited too much pa
tience with Mexico.
The senator was enroute TO .Jeffer-
son City to attend tc personal and
political matters.
"The border patrol has proved very
expensive, but it should he maintain
ed as long as necessary for the safety
OF American lives and property"
PERSONALLY, wish the president
would change his policy. but don't
think he will.
~ am getting tired of monkeying
with Mexico and think the United
States will have to use drastic meas
ures to restore peace in Mexico.
"The president has shown great pa
tience, too much patience, in trying
10 help Mexico.
while congress might declare war
without his sanction, IL would not do
so. However, do not favor n declar-
alton Of war against Mexico, but think
we should just give them little sound
thrashing now and then to let them
know they must behave themselves. II
Senator Stone said President Wilson
Is a man Of pronounced opinions, but
that he listens to reason.
~ have known him on several oc.
cations to modify his position" he
