Southern Pacific Building and
Putting on New Equipment

Southern Pacific officials are hope
full that TIE huge construction pro-
gram outlined by that company will
ease the Suggested freight situation
on the system. This program calls
for lit new locomotives, 5000 freight
cars of farious types and sundry
other equipment. Part of this order
has already been filled, while good
portion is classified as "now build
ing"
The Southern Pacific shops at Sac
ramento and Los Angeles are re-
ported to be each turning out an
average of twelve cars a day. Ac-
cording to General Superintendent Of
Motive Power George Mccormick, who
was in Lordsburg following the S. P.
fire, eleven locomotives have been de-
livered from eastern shops and nine
have been turned out of California
shops, which have been ordered to
supply fifty. AS a further result of
the activities of the company's home
shops, over ITO box cars and 500 fiat
cars all of the made in California"
brand, have been added to the avail
able equipment here.
The full carload, it is said, will be
again the object of a vigorous cam
paign this year by the railroads serv-
ing the Pacific Coast.
The conservation of freight equip
ment is regarded as necessary for the
second year of the war as in 1917,
even though roads such as the South
ern Pacific will be in possession Of
more locomotives and cars than they
have ever had in their history. The
explanation is that under the pressure
of war it is easier to develop an alb
normal demand than it is to develop
an abnormal supply Great as was
the demand for equipment last year,
it is expected to be greater in 1918,
when thousands of new factories
working on government orders will
be in full swing, and a substantial
overseas force will be dependent upon
a steady supply. AS Uncle Sam gets
into the conflict deeper and deeperl
the burden upon the carriers will
grow.

After celebrating for five and one
half hours, the jury in the case of the

life Imprisonment.
The case was given to the Jury

marked the close of a trial lasting
nine days. during which upwards of
one hundred witnesses testified.
The trial was one of the most SEN
sational murder cases ever tried in
Grant county court annals, and was
featured by a legal battle between
counsel for the state and for the de-
fense.
District Attorney J. S. Vaught led
the prosecution, assisted by C. c.
Royal of Silver City. A. b. Renhan
of Santa Fe and Morrow & Dabney,
an Altus, Okla, law firm, were en-
ployed by the brothers Of the dead
officer.
For the defense, Terrell & Dashell
of Silver City were chief counsel, as
sisted by Senator Claude Hudspeth of
FL Paso.
Counsel for the defendants filed a
motion for a new trial Immediately.

RegrettabIe Killing at the Mines
Sunday

Early Sunday morning in tile
power house at the 85 mine Ly.
man Garrett, special deputy in
the employ of the company, shot
and killed John Pitts, Also a COM
pany deputy, following a quar-
rel. Garrett was exonerated the
same afternoon by coroner's
jury from this city headed by
Justice C. w. Marsalis.
After the shooting, Garrett
went to Silver City and gave
himself up to Sheriff Frank
Shriver, to whom he told the de-
tails of the tragedy. Garrett re-
iterated to the sheriff how Pitts,
who had been drinking, hunted
him up snd began to quarrel with
him, finally drawing his revolver
and firing two shots at him.
So close was Pitts when he
fired, that the flash from his gun
set Garrett's coat on fire, the
bullet passing through the left
side of his coat under the arm.
Not until then did Garrett resort
to the use of his own revolver.
Fully believing Pitts meant to
kill him, Garrett drew his gun
and fred two shots. One of
these struck Pitts in the leg,
while the other ranged upward,
inhicting a fatal wound.
Sheriff Shriver and Deputy
McCart were here Sunday for
the inquest. -"s' ~
John Pitts is a former employee
of the Corralitas Cattle Company
and had been working at the
mine as watchman for nearly a

Successful ChautauQua
PIeaseS LOrdSburg
ROusing Patriotic Speeches.
Excellent Musical Numbers
Booked for Next Year

Although leaving a small financial
deficit, the Radcliffe Chautauqua, ap-
pearing here March 20, 80 and April
l, left the community much better
for its being here and left a host of
sincere friends. No man can say that
the chautauqua was not worth all and
more than was paid for it and that
It did not do good for the national
causes and community betterment, be-
sides giving the people an excellent
program of musical entertainment.
The stirring patriotic address of DIR.
Adams on Saturday night was alone
worth the price of the season ticket.
The only persons who can say i'll
of the chautauqua are those who did
not attend it.
The costs here were higher than
originally planned owing to it being
necessary to rent the Star theatre
instead Of using the tent furnished
BY the company, on account of the
windy weather.
While Lordsburg lost a few dollars,
1T did not lose in hearin ga fine pro
gram and a stirring one. Santa Rita
and Hurley, N. NJ, made several hun
dred dollars each beside paying all
expenses. This money went into the
Red Cross fund. Lordsburg could
have done the same thing had more
enthusiasm been put into the chautau-
qua at the beginning. Persons here
will spend $1.50 to see cheap circus
or a poor show charging $l.00 for
one performance and fall down on a
season ticket for $500 for a chautau-
qua program of fourteen attractions
u l,fl 49,.
seeing what the chautauqua really is
and the benefits to be derived from
it, LOrdsburg has entered into the
proper enthusiasm and has booked the
event again for next year No chau-
tauqua can be booked without a guar
autee and rather than pass up the
EVENT next season the same guarantee
has been signed by those who believe
in, the chautauqua.
Too much praise cannot be given
prs,W f. Adams, the chautauqua di-
rector, for his work here. He is an
excellent speaker, with a clear voice
and a faculty of holding his audi
ence from beginning to end in his
lectures. He spoke here four times,
once being Sunday evening at union
services of the local churches. His
part was the best on the entire pro-
gram. His call to patriotism and a
clear dealing with facts confronting
America was message direct from
the heart of a man conversant with
facts.
The other speakers were: Col. G. A.
Gerhart, Helen b. Paulsen and an
authorized Red Cross nurse. The
musical program was furnished by
the Neapolitan Quartet, Metropolitan
Concert Company and the David Dug
gin Concert Company Each of these
numbers were excellent. There was
nothing cheap about the program.
The musicians were real musicians
and enjoyed their work. The audi
ence was more than delighted, judg-
ing from the applause given. Mrs
Paulsen's Community Conscience"
address was one that every person in
Lordsburg should have heard,
All in all, the chautauqua was a
grand success as far as the Radcliffe
part was concerned. That Lordsburg
did not make several hundred dollars
for the Red Cross as did other towns
in New Mexico was only Lordsburg's
fault. 9As..

meFce alive and working for the best
INTERESTS of Lordsburg? :
Yell, last week it was noted that
gofenment men would be in FL Paso
to meet with the Chamber Of Com,
mi rec Of that city and cities in AFlg
zoRa for the routing of the BankhSSd
Highway for official government use,
from ocean to ocean. Douglas, Bis
bee, Tombstone and Tucson were rep
resented at the gathering, and as
the highway would have to come
Though New Mexico, the Lordsburg
Chamber of Commerce sent J. II.
Fitzpatrick to FL Paso to present this
cly's claims for the road to pass
through this city, basing as the rea-
son that this city would cooperate
with the good roads boosters and do
all within its power for the better
ment Of the highway.
Mr. Fitzpatrick presented the
claims of Lordsburg, but no action
was taken by the FL PasQ Chamber
of Commerce, who left the matter eNl
tirely in the hands of the state high
way supervisors Of the two states.
1t is certain, however, that Lords
burg made its wants known and was
given every courtesy by the FL Raso
representatives.
The Borderland route from RodeO,
N. NJ, to Douglas, Bisbee, Tombstone,
Tucson, Florence and Phoenix was in
dOrscd as the route of the Bankhead
National highway through southern
Arizona by the directors of the El
Paso Chamber of Commerce following
telephone communication TO Judge
Adrian Pool. chairman of the good
roads committee Of the I'll Paso Cham
Der of Commerce, from State High
way Engineer Atwood of Arizona, in
which he designated this route az the
route for the highway through south
ern Arizona in case the highway came
through FL PasO. The action of the
directors was enthusiastically Ae-
cepted by the visiting Douglas, Bisbee
and Tucson delegations when pre-
sented at the final conference held N
the afternoon.
The resolution was discussed by the
directors in n meeting at $3.50 o'clock
in the directors room and all points
involved were carefully gone over be-
fore the resolution was voted. w. 6.
Roe, president of the El Paso Auto
club; V. X. Stiles, M. MOye, j. ID.
Buckley and Judge Adrian Pool, chair
man, all of the good roads committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, were
present. The resolution was drafted
by Judge Pool.
The unanimous opinion of the die
rectors was that FL Paso should not
dictate any southern Arizona route,
but in view of the fact that State
Engineer Atwood had already ex-
pressed his judgment that the south
ern route should be designated in case
the route came through FL PAsO, It
was felt that united action could be
better secured by declaring for the
route which the state engineer bed
indorsed.

Fishing picked up bit Thursday at
Cobbosseecontee, although the stilt
north wind which was blowing from
morning until night made boat fishing
out of the question and those which
were taken during the day were caught
from the bridge which connects Island
Park with the North shore.
The first fish reported caught during
the day was a small trout which was
caught from the bridge by Henry
Thyng during the morning hours, and
in the afternoon his success was fol-
lowed by that Of three Halowell men,
Ralph Morgan, harry Smith and Henry
Leclair. who in fishing from the bridge
caught among them nine small trout,
averaging pound and half each.
The only other fish reported caught
was one small trout which was landed
by a party in which We're II. II. Stuart
Of Augusta, e. F. Clason of Lisbon
Falls and +. G. Marshall of Maiden,
Mass, and which weighed about two
and a half pounds.
