Eyes wide and intent, cheeks flushed

that made her look as though she were

Held for Burglary.

Valentine Orozco, believed to be
the ring leader of band of Mexi-
cans guilty of great-deal OF thiev-
ing in different towns of the cOun-
ty, was arrested by Sheriff Downing
last week and is being held for trial
in the district court On the charge
of burglary. Several hundred dol
lars worth of mechandise was found
in OrozcO's home in the Mexican
settlement near Lamar. Part of
the stolen goods was identified as
that taken from A. p. Pinkham's
store at Hartman, and the balance
was claimed by different merchants
of Lamar. Other Mexicans were ar
rested in connection with the case,
but there was not sufficient evid-
ence against them to warrant the
trial, and they were released.-La-

Don't Know the Valley.

The La Junta papers, after the re-
cent failure of an advertised air
flight there, complained that it
seemed as if the valley would never
get to see one of these birds. With
their usual conceit they think lit
tie Otero county is the valley. AS
much as eight years ago Mr.. Max
well had. flying exhibitions at the
Prowers county fair each year, and
Holly business men own and ex-
hibit one of the critters. 1t was
the irony fate that when OterO
county people did finally get to see
one, it was the Holly plane and it
was merely passing over them to
give exhibitions at the fair of their
real live neighbor in Crawley coun-
ty.--Lamar Register.

Even County Jail Too Small.

Sheriff !. c. Downing is joining in
the general complaint heard all
over town of not having enough
room His special boarding house,
the Hotel de County Jail, is loaded
up and overiowing and he has
many more that ought to be there
if he just had room to keep them.
1t may be that there are so many
people here that can't find place
to put up that they are trying to
break into Jail SO as to be sure of
a place to eat and sleep. 1t may be
that if we build more houses more
Jail can be dispensed with. 1t is
about the first time that our jail
has been loaded to capacity right

worse instead of better-Lamar

Farm Land is Booming.

Another example of the rapid rise
in the value of irrigated land was
given this week when Mike Bach
man purchased the G. L. MOffat
farm for $4,000, or 5000 an acre. Mr..
Moffat bought the farm from w.
w. Cooper less than two years ago
for less than $4,000. The crops he
has raised have paid for all i'm
provernents made on the farm, and
Mr.. Moffat's investment has paid a
