Lordsburg is getting much publicity
from the Chamber of Commerce. The

The possibilities of the Tombstone

parent from the following statement
IN the Ell Paso Herald in speaking of
Lordsburg, New Mexico:
"The recent organization of Cham
Der of Commerce at Lordsburg, N. M,
has had its immediate effect in an
increased interest in good roads. The
county commissioners have taken steps
to have the portion of the Borderland
highway west from Lordsburg to Ro-
deo and the state line repaired. They
will also have the road from Lords
a gap of the new highway from Lords
burg to Tyrone improved, completing
burg to Silver City. In other ways
the new commercial organization is
working wonders in improving the
city. Streets are being cleaned up
and steps have been taken for the set
ting apart of a new park near the
Southern Pacific depot"

0ImeStead Allowed
$1,000 Bond

At a hearing Saturday afternoon
aafors I. W. jackson, Justice Of the
peace at the 85 mine, r. S. Olmsted
was allowed a 1000 bond to await
the action of the grand jury next
spring, for the killing of John Allen,
a deputy sheriff, at the mine. Mr..
Olmsted is chief deputy of Sheriff H..
j. McGrath at the local mines. Fol
lowing an alteration with Allen about
a month ago, Olmsted shot the man
with a revolver, inhicting wounds
from which he died in about ten days.
Olmsteds claim is self-defense and is
making his stand in the case upon the
ground that Allen would have killed
him had he not have shot first. There
were two witnesses to the shooting
who were in Olmsteds room when the
argument began. Their testimony
was taken at the preliminary hearing.
District Attorney Vaught was here
for the state Percy Wilson, well
known Silver City attorney, appeared
for the defense.
NJ. Q. Hardin assisted Mr.. Olmsted
in his defense prior to the hearing.

0. Henry Pictures Should Draw
Bigger Crowds

Movie-goers in Lordsburg are miss
ing one of the best features of the
year if they fail to see the o. Henry
stories being shown each Monday
night at the Star theatre. These are
the dramatizations on the screen Of
the famous short stories by one Of
Americas greatest writers. In the
film versions none of the joy, pathos
or thrill has been taken from the
story. They are all there and bring
o. Henry closer to Americas reading
public. The company acting in these
stories is better than the average.
These pictures are no silly trash made
for 1,O00-feet purposes only, but are
real (or reel) treats.
Those in Lordsburg wishing to sec
something genuinely good should see
the weekly o. Henry story at the Star
theatre every Monday night Manaerg
Briel has made wise choice in book
ing these films. When the public
gets "hep" to them the house should
be filled.

CitizenTakeS High Position

The resignation of H. ]. Nc
Grath, sheriff of Grant county
and resident of Lordsburg for
the past thirty years, was tender
ed the board of county commits
sioners at Silver City on Monday.
The resignation is to take effect
on December 31st at which time
Mr.. McGrath will enter into his
duties as clerk of the United
States District Court, having re-
ceived that appointment some
months ago from Federal Judge
Colin Neblett. Mr.. McGrath
and family will still maintain
their residence at Silver City.
This is only a stepping stone
to higher things for H. j. Nc
Grath. The position to which
he was appointed by his friend
Judge Colin Neblett is one of
high honor and responsibility
and one which Mr.. McGrath is
very capable of filling. Having
his Office at Santa Fe and Albu-
querdue it will bring him more
widely in touch with the people
ofmorthern New Mexico. The
people of this section expect to
see H. j. McGrath continue in
success and reach one of the
highest offices in the state of
New Mexico.
Grant county regrets the loss
of a sheriff as efficient as Mr..
McGrath has been for fourteen
years. AS to his record in office
there is little to say. Everyone
knows Herb McGrath and his re-
markable record as sheriff.
'Lordsburg has reason to feel
proud of him and wishes him the
