THIRD ACCIDENTAL
SHOOTING OF YEAR.
ALAMoooRDo MAN PAINFULLY
WOUNDED IN KNEE WHEN HE
DROPS REVOLVER

Alamogordo, N. M., Jan. 15.-Nu-
gent Lockney, brother OF Laurence
Lockney, foreman OF the News office,
accidentally shot himself in the knee
with a 25 automatic revolver. He, in
company with his parents and other
members OF his family, we're on their
way from Dunken, N. M, to Sierra
county. The party stopped here last
week for several days to visit rela-
tives and continued on their way.
When as far as the San Andreas
mountains young Lockney took his
pistol out to take a shot at o rabbit
while riding along on his horse. me
horse became frightened and started
to pitch. He grabbed for the reins.
at the same time dropping the pistol,
but in some way 1t was discharged,
the ball entering the young mans
knee. sHe quieted his horse and got
down, walked over to the wagons and
told his father that he thought he was
shot, but thought possibly the bullet
only grazed his leg. An examination
showed that the bullet had entered
just above the knee.
Unfortunately an auto came along
within a few minutes and the father
took the young man to Tularosa for
medical treatment. The ball could
not be located, so the patient was
taken to the Hotel Dieu in Ell Paso
to locate the ball by an X-ray exami-
nation.

Million Acres
I Filed on at Roswell
Under $40 Acre LaU
Total of 1862 Sections Applied For Since First Of
Year, With Receipts of 3 5000; Majority Come
In Motor Cars, Followed By Prairie Schooner
Division; Big Jam at Fort Sumner Continues

The reports of the stampede for grazing homesteads in the eastern
part OF the state have not been at all exaggerated" said a. NJ. Hove, Of cars-
bad, here today Mr.. Hove Is a development agent and publicity ma and
is closely In touch with the situation. ~ myself say 500 covered wagons in
one day, en- route to the land offices. The influx reminds me of the rush
when the Cherokee strip was opened In 1884,"
Mr. Hove says the rush means that the man with 100 cow is going to
suppIant the big cowman In the eastern part of the state. "There are only
about three big outfits left In Eddy county now he said. ain the Texas
Panhandle the small cownan has practically eliminated the big cattle
grower These men all make a good living and where they stay prove high
y desirable citizens" Mr. Hove figures that a considerable percentage of
the homeseekers are birds of passage" who are always moving from one
frontier % another, many of whom will lot remain. He also calls attention
to the fact that the farm loan bank plan will make 1t much easier for the
small farmerstocknnan Il make good in New Mexico hencefoth.
ROSWELL, N M, Jar. t5-The United States land office records u % to
last Friday night showed a total of 1862 sections applied for since the section
law was signed by President Wilson. This means a total Of 9356sO acres.
The fees paid in amount to $387seet. This is the highest number of sec
tons applied for in any land office in this state. A majority Of those from
distant points who have filed so far have come here in motor cars. The
next influx Of land seekers will be the mn with the prairie schooner, who
travels with less speed but with safety and an assurance that he will finally
get here, says the News. One Of the Jhney class from sweetwyer, Texas,
stated to a and lawyer that he counted something over 200 covered wauo
headed this way, all carrying from one to half a dozen who intended to file
when they reached the district land office. AS it looks to the average New
Mexican, n class has about as much advantage as the other, al the present
filing is largely a matter of seeking a priority right which may not exist in
fact when the land is parceed out.

BIG JAM EVERY DAY
IN FORT SUMNER OFFICE

TT. Sumner, N. M, Jan. 15.-There
seems no let up in the big rush to
get in on the 640-acre homestead law,
says the Leader. Each day there is
as big a jam in the land office as the
II preceding, until you wonder
where they all come from, and as
everyone Of the applicants gets his
filing, the wonder turns to "Can it be
possible there is enough vacant pub
lie land in the state?" and "What a
whale of a state she must be-"
Ninety per cent of those filing are
family men and are either farmers or
stockmen. Few come from the big
towns. Most of them are prepared to
move hee in the ear future and the
Leader, ventures the opinion that a
greater per cent will succeed than did
those among the first rush of quarter
section homesteaders of 10 years ago.
Officials of the land office think
the rush will keep up as long as the
land holds out, for every day men con-
tinue to apply from the more distant
states. Up to last Friday noon 63l
filings had been made.
"A family from Texas that recently
located near here, contains the father

Alleged Slayer of Trinidad Man Evades Bullets
and Successfully Hides in Mountains Between
Rociada and Mora; Story of Alleged Crime

to Mora, telephoned to Trinidad for
~bloodhounds. two arriving Saturday
night, and early Sunday morning they
left for the scene Of the shooting,
Harry Kelly and N. M. Padgett &C
companied them. The hounds seem
ed to pick up the trail, followed 1t for
a few miles and then lost It near
Ceboyeta. The party returned and
left on the evening train for Trinidad.
According to their story Ricardo
Lucero worked on the ranch as a
sheep herder eighteen days and had
$18 coming to him. Lucero asked for
some money and was refused, West
telling him he would pay for the
month as soon as his month was up,
but not before. A quarrel ensued and
Lucero killed Mr.. West, 1t is alleged,
stabbing him with a knife, but just
how 1t occurred they did not know.
According to friends Of Ricardo Lu-
Zero, and he seems to have many;
also many relatives in Mora county,
Lucero asked West for money for his
family and was refused. He then
quit, leaving the sheep without a
herder, and went to work as a section
hand on the railroad. West, it is said,
was angered because Lucero deserted
the sheep, hunted him up and pro-
ceeded to beat him up, it is claimed.
While down with West on top of him,
Lucero's wife attempted to get him
off. This gave Lucero a chance to
get at his knife and he used it, it is
alleged, ~stabbing Mr.. West through
the heart, and then made his get
away. He had several close calls from
capture. Once at a railroad station
he hid under a hand car while they
were searching for him. Pursuers
even looked under the car, but did not
see him. He came direct to Mora
county, and then went down to the
border. About a month ago he re-
turned and a party from Las Vegas
recognized him and wrote to Mr..
Vests brother, telling him that Lu-
was at Mora. A native from
Trinidad was sent down to locate
him, the others following as 10 as
they had word where he was staying.

WHITE SIGNAL SOLD
FOR FIFTY THOUSAND
WELL KNOWN COPPER PROPER
TY OF GRANT COUNTY TO BE
DEVELOPED BY NEW COMPANY
(Ry Special correspondent.l

Silver City, N. M, Jan. 15.-The
White Signal copper property of the
Prtcious Metals Exploration company
of which T. w. Carter of this city, is
president, has just been sold to Ray
mond Bell and C. S. Peterson, of the
brokerage house of C. s. Peterson Il
Company, of Ell Paso, Tex, for a con
sideration Of $4,000.
This property has been idle for a
number of years and since 1907 only
the assessment work has been kept
up. Recently, however, in sinking an
incline shaft on the vein a 14-foot ore
shoot was uncovered at a depth of 80
feet. This ore shoot is in place solid
ly between walls and assays across
the face on al average Of to 6 per
cent copper, with a picked sample
from two feet of high grade copper on
the hanging wall assaying 1920 per
cent copper, $3.50 in silver and So
in gold per ton. Up to 1907 the White
Signal property which is located, in
the Burro mountains of Grant county,
New Mexico, was owned by a syndi-
cate of California capitalists and
when they got caught in the panic or
that year work on the property was
stopped over night. However, before
compelled to stop work they had sunk
a 150-foot double compartment shaft
off the vein with the object in view of
going to a depth of 300 feet and ross
cutting to the vein. This shaft is well
cased with California redwood tim
hers and Is now filled about SO feet
with water. In sinking this shaft
good grades of milling ore we're en-
countered in several places and it is
the intention Of the new owners to
carry out the plans Of the old COM
pany and in addition complete about
$500 feet of new workings. A shift is
now at work drifting on the high
grade ore shoot in the new shaft and
this will be hoisted and shipped to the
smelter to take advantage of the pres
ent high price of copper.
The White Signal property is one
that has been known for years. 1t is
situated on an immense white quartz
dyke that runs through the country
for miles and can be traced directly
into the Burro mountain property or
the Phelps-Dodge company, at Ty-
rome. 1t lies on the south side of the
Big Burro mountains Just opposite the
famous Austin-Amazon copper proper
ty which has just opened an enormous
high grade body of ore and which has
been the sensation of the stock mar
ket the past few weeks.
Messrs. Bell and Peterson are pre-
to incorporate a new company,
the Burro Grande Copper company,
for the development of this property
and will incorporate under the laws Of
the state of New Mexico shortly.
