last week and met his lady friend
from Tennessee. After talking with
her a while and enjoying themselves
eating ice cream and drinking ice cream
sodas, and after strolling along the

said, "Mr. Walker didn't you bring a
team to town with you" Newton said
II certainly did," so they turned
around and started back after his team.

Among the Boosters
IMMIGRANT RUSH COMING

Fort Sumner Leader: With New
Mexico making a record production oil
beans, potatoes and wheat it is safe to
prepare for a rush Of immigrants this
late fall and early next spring. Last
year the state attracted attention as a
bear producer and thousands OF new
people came here to aunt for homes. The
crop this year may be as much as two
hundred per cent increase over that of
last year. In addition to the beans the
potato crop is expected to be at least
one hundred per cent greater this year
than last, n when the mountain dis
tricts are all in the increase may be two
hundred per cent. This will mean an
other rush for New Mexico lands.

in private life.
The Star Says

III private llo.
The Star Says:
Readers of detective stories find the
most Of them tame this year, their myster-
les falling far short Of those involved in the
strange tales that appear in the news col
umns of the daily papers. OF course in
most of these news stories the mysteries
are not explained, but are left for the i'm
aginations Of those who read to deal with.
For example, people would like to know
how our government obtained possession Of
the contraband dispatches sent by the Ger
man minister from Argentina. They
would like to know how our secret service
officers manage to uncover plans of the
enemy to block our interests in regard to
munitions, shipping, industrial progress and
the like. OF course they are not told, but
curiosity in regard to these actual perfor.
mances checks their interest in the most
ingenious deeds of the detective Of fiction.
The secret service men are greater objects
Of interest.
The mysterious crimes of private life In
recent weeks rival the widest imaginary
plot on record. There is the case Of the
New York bank president who, it is an.
nounced months after his death, was guilty
Of the embezzlement of $500, 900, all taken
from the funds Of a customer Of the bank
of which he had special charge. His salary
was $4,000 a year, he had no vices OF
which any one knew and he lived a quiet
life, though separated from his wife and
daughters. 1t is supposed that the money
all went to his family, though no one knows
definitely what he did with it. Another mys-
terry stranger than fiction.
There, too, is the case of Mrs. King, a
Chicago widow, murdered in a little town
in North Carolina She had inherited a
large fortune from her husband, but her
death discloses a tale of intrigue in which
half a dozen men and women are involved,
their purpose evidently being to deprive
her Of her possessions. A forged will and
all the other properties of the most lurid
movie tale figure In the affair. The writer's
of detective stories have a difficult task be-.
fore them in producing fiction with plots
equal to the facts described in daily rec
ords of actual events. After all, the most
gifted imagination can not transcend re.

BIG FLEET SMASHED
SIXTEEN GERMAN VESSELS DE-
STRoYED BY BRITISH NAVY.
Seventeen Ships Attempt to Run the
North Sea Bloekade-Only
One Escapes.

London, July 1S.--A fleet of II small
German vessels ventured forth from
Rotterdam in an attempt to run the
British blockade A powerful British
mosquito flotilla lay in wait for them
out in the North sea. This is what
happened to the Teuton ships:
-Four sunk, four captured, five strand
ed one wrecked, two fed back, badly
damaged by gunfire, total, sixteen. One
fed back and reached shore unframed.
II was the first effective blow the
British navy has dealt to the German
blockade-running system in three years
of warfare. II was made possible by
the presence in British waters of Amer
lean destroyers, which enabled the
British to detail large part of their
mosquito craft TO watch the crafty lit
tie Teuton smugglers.
The British admiralty In a statement
accounted only for six of the German
ships, saying four were captured and
two driven back TO the Dutch shore,
riddled by gunfire. From Ymuiden
came unofficial news Of the fate Of the
other blockade-runners.
The German ships paid no attention
to the stop" signals Of the British de-
stroyers. They simply turned around
and started wild race for the shore
whence they came. But the British de-
stroyers were too swift for them and
the gunfire too effective. The crews Of
two of the vessels captured Escaped"
the admiralty announced. While no de-
tails are given, this suggests the dra-
matte picture of fully score of sailors,
fearing execution as pirates jumping
overheard and swimming for their
lives--with what result no one knows
The Illustration Of the blockade-run-
ming expedition is a great blow to Ger
many, coming at a time when that
country IS believed 10 he straining
every nerve TO prove to HOlland--and
the Scandinavian countries, the trade
with which is less perilous, however,
that the Germans are doing their best
to keep up and even Increase the ex-
change of certain goods. Americas ex-

to the necessity of this reciprocal
agreement For three years Holland
has been getting coal and iron from

cultural products, mainly butter and
