MEETING NEXT MON.
DAY TO SET DATE FOR
COWBOYS ROUNDUP

Mr.. Muirhead, President of the
Chamber of Commerce, has called
meeting for Monday night, January
Goth, to be held in the city hall for the
purpose Of setting the dates for the
Second Annual Cowboys General
Roundup. II is desired TO agree upon
the dates at once so the advertising
work can be commenced, and it is
probable that all local business con-
Germs will have advertising matter
pertaining to the Roundup printed on
their stationery.
1t is thought that it will be better
to hold the Roundup earlier this year.
possibly In August. FL Paso is ar
ranging to hold such carnival in
March, following which will come the
Amarillo Ozark Trail convention in
June, the Redpath- -Horner Chautauqua
in Tucumcari in June, the Roundup in
Las Vegas the fourth of July, and
Tucumcari's Roundup therefore would
come in about right in August.
The meeting Monday night will be
an open meeting and everyone inter-
ested is invited to come out with their
ideas, and IL agreeable to everyone,
the officers for the Second Roundup
may be elected.
Don't forget the date and place
the City Hall. Monday, Jan. 29 at
1880 p. m.

NATIONAL GUARD TO BE KEPT
FROM DISINTEGRATING

Washington, Jan. 20.-lmmediate
withdrawal of Substantial number"
of national guardsmen from the bor-
der has been ordered by the war de-
partment and General Funston now is
selecting the units to be sent home.
In announcing the order late today
Secretary Baker said the number to be
withdrawn mt this time probably would
he $4,000 or 10000.
The secretary refused to comment
on the order or say what relation 1t
might have to the withdrawal Of Gen.
Pershing's expedition from Mexico.
He said that the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as soon
as General Funston reported those he
had designated. This withdrawal will
reduce the force Of state troops on the
border to between $1,000 and 10000.
The announcement generally was ac-
cepted, however, as an indication that
the withdrawal of Pershing's forces
would not be long delayed. 1t had
been understood that as quickly as
border stations are evacuated by state
troops. regulars will move up to oc-
cupy them, but tonight it was said au-
thoritatively that no order to bring
the regulars north had yet been is.
sued
IT is the policy of the department
not to permit disintegration of the ma
tional guard organizations. and the
intention is to hold every man in SER
vice, though not under arms, regard
less Of the fact that his duty on the
border has ended. All applications for
dischargeing except for cause will be
refused, and designations of officers
will be carefully examined and accept
ed only when the department is sat
isfied with the reasons given. II was
pointed out that acceptance Of many
of the designations already offered was
more or less in the nature Of weed
ing out process.
This policy of maintaining intact the
strength of the national guard is taken
as further indications Of what will he
the administrations future policy in
dealing with Mexico. This policy. il
has been indicated. contemplates deal
with the de facto government on a
strictly formal basis rather than on an
altruistic basis. Thus, il is understood
/ that the activities of Villa and the
question who occupies the territory
Pershing is about to leave will be re.
garded here as problems for Carranza
and that the United States will look Ia
him for their solution.

Las VEGAS BASKET
BALL TEAMS WILL
PLAY HERE FRIDAY

When the East Las Vegas basket
ball teams come to Tucumcari on Fri
day evening. January 26, the local sup
porters Of the Purple and Gold will
have to do some expert basket shoot
ing TO take the visitors into camp.
Last year, the teams from Las Vegas
were rated AZ at least equal to any
In the state. The local teams were
barely able to defeat them on their
home court, and lost by large r,ar-
gin In both the boys and girls games
in Las Vegas.
Our teams are much stronger than
last year, but they are not expecting
an easy time on Friday night. AS a
matter Of fact, they look forward to
one Of the hardest contests Of the
year in the boys game. The local
girls are playing with unusual form
and speed, and should win from the
visitors by safe margin.
The Las Vegas teams play clean
fast basket ball--the kind that keeps
the spectators on their feet from the
first whistle to the last. Regardless
Of who wins, you will see some great
basket ball on Friday night.
The High School is humming with
enthusiasm In anticipation of the com
ing contests. No games durinp the
entire season will attract more atten.
tion than the ones which open our
season.
Tucumcari is going out after the
Northeast New Mexico Championship
The support Of the public will be ap.
preciated In these home games. Helr
put the Tucumcari High School on
the map.
II you have never seen real game
OF basket ball, come out Friday night
One never gets too old to enjoy the
game-never too old to learn the game
The fact that you have naver seer
a game of basket ball should not keer
you away--you will come to know [,
and enjoy it within ten minutes after
the game begins. Come on, be has.

WON'T ADMIT WITHDRAWAL
OF FORCES HAS STARTED

Washington, Jan. 23.-Troop move
ments preliminary to withdrawal Of
the American expedition from Mexico
are being carried out at the southern
extremity of the American line under
war department orders and as soon as
they are complete the main body Of
the expedition will probably start up
north.
For the first time officials admitted
today that the withdrawal of outposts
from Ell Vale and other points about
Colonia Bublin had more than local
Significance and was being carried out
on orders from Washington. They
made no announcement as to the prob
able time when the general northern
movement would begin and would not
even admit that withdrawal Of Perish
ing's troops after ten months in Mex
leo was at hand. Since the effort to
effect an agreement with General Car
rama ended in failure, the administra-
ton has indicated that its next step
would be made known through action
rather than by announcement.
Officials are much interested, but ap-
parently little concerned, over grow
ing evidences that determined strug-
gle for possession of the territory
evacuated by Pershing may be in pro-
gress soon between Carranza troops
and revolutionists.
Today's official dispatches said that
Villa and Zapata, the most conspicu-
Gus revolutionists. had allied them
selves for operations against the de
facto armies and that 5000 men had
been concentrated near Chihuahua for
a Villa campaign in the north. Since
Carranza declined to accept the At
lantic City protocol, officials have in
dicated that such problems as the one
developed about chihuahua not only
would be left to Carranza for settle
ment, but that he would be held re-
sponsible by the United States gov
ernment for their settlement in such
a way as TO protect American inter
ests.
The question OF raising the embargo
on arms to Mexico and the dispatch Of
Ambassador Fletcher to Mexico re-
main in allegiance. There were indica-
tions that the prospect of sending the
ambassador TO his post had been made
more indefinite by two developments
construed in Some quarters as a re
newal of practices of the Carranza
government against which the United
States has protested repeatedly

PRISONER ESCAPES

Sheriff King of Memphis, Texas, was
a busy man around Glenrio, Sunday.
While taking a young offender from
Santa Rosa TO Memphis for trial, the
prisoner, M dawn, as the train was
leaving the yard at almost normal
speed, jumped from the car window,
the embankment somewhat
where he landed, but he could not have
been very badly injured for about the
time the officer made his appearance
the young man had disappeared. The
minion of the law tore up the sege
brush and raised dust initiating a rare
young cyclone in chasing around In
quest of his late charge. All Of Sun
day was given over to a search for
the missing man, who had mysterious
ly disappeared and presumably was
enjoying New Mexico sunshine.--Glen-
rio Tribune Progress.
