Wednesdayafternoon while en-
route to Silver City from Lords
burg the passengers in an auto
mobile on a local stage line were
shot at by Bud" Smith, a dep
uty of Clifton, Arizona, while in
a drunken stupor. In the party
were Mr.. McVeigh of the Ell Paso
Herald, Messrs Houston and Tay-
lor and the stage driver. Accor-
ding to reports of the shooting
Smith became engaged in an ar
gument with one of the passen-
gers and while about eight miles
north of Wood canon got out of
the car and began shooting at
the passengers. Ten shots were
fired. Two of the party escaped
and ran six miles to the brad
berry ranch where word of the
affair was sent to Lordsburg.
Taylor and the driver, after all
the shots in the revolver had
been fired without anyone being
injured took Smith to the county
jail at Silver City. How any of

State Highway to RodeO

Senator w. D. Murray's bill to
make the road from Elephant Butte
to Rodeo, a state highway, passed the
senate and house of the state legis-
lature and is now in the hands of
Governor w. E. Lindsey for his sig
nature. The governor has indicated
that he will sign the bill. The bill
empowers the counties of Sierra and
Grant to levy a special tax for the
purpose of constructing such portions
of this road which are not already
built and of putting the existing
roads into first-class shape. The
route designated in the bill is from
Elephant Butte through Hillsboro,
Lake Valley, across the Black Range
at Camp Monarch, to Santa Rita,
Fort Bayard, Silver City, Tyrone,
Lordsborg and out of the state at
Rodeo. The road almost bisects
Grant county and will join the east
and west and north and south por-
tions of the county by a good high
way. 1t will be of immense value
throughout the county in addition to
creating a direct route with the cen
trail portions of the state. The cost
of the road will be small as important
sections of it are already built.
