President Boyd Resigns.

On Thursday evening the people of
Deming will have with them one of
the foremost educators of the country
when DR.. Boyd, president of the
University Of New Mexico, will de-
liver the address before the Senior
class at the high school. 1t was the
pleasure of the writer to know DR..
Boyd when he was at the head Of the
Oklahoma University, where he nc
complished a great work for that
state.
We regret to see it announced that
New Mexico is to lose DIR. Boyd, rs
he has rendered his resignation, to
take effect July /, 1919, giving the
following reason for this step:
"The appropriation provided for
maintenance and operation of the
university, and for its enlargement
and improvement is so wholly made
quate as to make it, in my opinion,
impossible to meet the public expec-
tations, or the public's reasonable de-
mands upon the institution. For that
reason doubt my ability to produce
for you the results we all desire"

Negro Woman Loses $3.50

The 0tero County News reports
that an aged colored woman named
Rowland came to Alamagordo re-
Gently from Deming, bringing with
her S450-mostly in twenty dollar
bills. Sunday, becoming afraid lest
someone would enter the house and
rob her, she adopted the plan of using
the fire box of the cook stove for a
depository and, as she says, she knew
no one would think of going there for
money. Monday morning she arose
and thinking TO make herself some
coffee, and forgetting the bills, built
fire in the stove. When she hap
pened to think of her money the fire
had burned a few moments. She
rushed to the stove and found that
the bills and the napkin they were
rolled in were nothing but mass of
charred Goals. The serial numbers on
some of the bills were partly de-
cipherable but not sufficiently to re-
deem.

A. W. Pollard of this city have let a
contract to w. l.. Samples & Son to
build a theatre at Columbus, 25x140
feet. The building will be Of brick

capacity, 600.
Columbus has a permanent camp
now, and with the buildings necessary
in connection with that there is a new
impetus given every line of business.
People are moving in, and n good
moving picture theatre ought to be n
paying investment. Mr.. Carragien,
who will manage the house, is an old
hand at the business, and the show
going people at Columbus will be
given the best to be obtained in NOV
ing pictures. The contractors expect
to have the building ready for bust
ness inside of six months.

Wool Buying in West

Wool buying is going on steadily in

$3.50, and Bontana woods of similar

The better staple woods are selling

John Thomas Hardy, who was ar

was given hearing Saturday before
the United States commissioner, on n
charge filed by the department of

impersonating an army officer. Hardy
entered a plea of guilty and was held
to the federal grand jury, bond being
fixed at $2500. In default Of bond, he
was sent to Jail. Only last December,
Hardy completed a sentence in the

This has been a year of re-

are countless homes In the State
in which one or two of these
children could easily and we'll be
cared for, homes which would be
far happier because of the pres

ON THE TRAIL
OF WILD TURKEYS
Hunters Discover Big
Still In Fastnesses
of Mullins Cove

Tracing the trail of turkeys
which passed thru the site of a
big wildcat still in the mountain
GUS section of Marion where Mul-
Inns Cove runs up like a long arm
from the Tennessee river, wild
turkey hunters discovered a large
still last week in full working
condition. And so well fixed for
business and so secure did the
wildcatters feel that theys had
fattening hogs there at the still
wing Compliant on the refuse.
Wien the waters of Tennessee
River were harnessed by the big
dam at Hale's Bar, the river
backed up into this section and
the inhabitants resigned their
farms and instituted lawsuits
simultaneously. Hence this area
was abandoned to the wild ami
mails, and discovering its solitude
the makers of illicit whiskey
hailed it as Atlantis, a No Mans
Land where they could pursue
their chemical studies with "un-
premeditated song" begging
the pardon of Shelly.
The hunters gave information
to the "revenoos''. and then
trouble began. The revenue
men raided the still. but, accord
ing to some reports were not as
stealthy as BELTS men about to
invade the lair of a Royal Bengal
Tiger, for such this was, a full
grown tiger but actedsomewhat
!ndiscretely in some way, so that
wildcatters in attendance on the
tiger, got wise and commenced to
dispose of their stock in sundry
ways before the officials got on
the scene. After the fracas at
the still four of the moonshiners
were in the hands of the officers
but about as many got away.
However, they managed to roll
a 16-gallon barrel of liker' into
the Tennessee, but unfortunate
ly for them it wouldn't sink, and
the revenue men got sight of it
and stove it, and the fishes for
a considerable distance down the
noble stream got blind drunk.
A smaller keg containing five
gallons was also said to have
been secreted, but so far the Of
ficers have not found it.

MINERS SEAL
NOT ON ORDER
Lacking This Whitwell
Get Suspicious and
Lay Down Tools

Whitwell. Nov. 17.-United
Mine Workers of America left
their jobs at Whitwell Saturday
as soon as it was discovered that
the orders they had from head
quarters to return to work did
not have the seal of the organiza-
tion thereon. They suspected
forgery and quit. A district or
ganizer was sent for and advised
them to return to work, saving
they would not be "scabbing" to
do SO, as the strike order had been
annulled anyway. So quickly did
they strike that men with wagons
waiting for coal could hardly get
enough to complete their loads.
The men returned to work Mon
day morning, but it will be sew
eral days before the run gets
anything like normal.
The mines at Tracy City, Coal
mont and Tatesville were simil-
arly affected, the miners coming
out at once, as soon as it was
learned that the order issued
did not have the official seal.
