they have only been going since the
first of November. If Prowers coun-

will be put on to raise $50O0 Inas-
much as charity begins at home

LONG TERM OF DISTRICT
COURT Is PROMISED
Case OF Shinneman, Alleged Slayer
of w. o. Garrett, Following
Quarrel at Plains, Is UP.

When Judge A. c. McChesney
opened the November term of dis
trict court for Prowers county on
Tuesday he was confronted with
the largest docket the county has
yet known A few of the criminal
cases and several civil actions will
be hard fought and considerable
time will be required for their
trial. Already cases have been set
that will occupy the time of the
court up to the second week of De
cember, and it is probable that at
least four weeks will be required to
to issue.
The case of the people VS.. Shinne
man, who shot and killed w. O.
Garrett near Plains, following a
quarrel regarding fence, has been
set for Friday, November 2Sth, and
will probably last several days, as
the case will be hard fought one
on both sides. Alfred Todd of this
city and Judge A. w. MeHendrie of
Trinidad will look after the inter
est of the defendant. The other
homicide case, that of the people
against RejinO Mendoza at Holly,
has been set for next Monday.
The petit jury was sworn in yes
terday morning and the following
business was disposed of up to last
night:

swiping turkeys from the highways
and byways around Granada, was
acquitted of the charge by the jury

County Tax Levy.

Not to be outdone by the state,
the city and the school district, the
county tax levy shows an increase
over last year. The total levy
agreed upon by the county com
missiOners amounts to n mills,
which is an increase of IL mill over
last year. The increase is due to a
special levy of Is mills for court
house building fund, the levy for
general county purposes being
slightly reduced owing to the fact
that the judgment and bonded in
debtedness of the county has now
been wiped out The need of ade-
quate court house facilities is ap-
parent to all and few will object to
paying their share for the con
struction of real court house.

MUCH ROAD WORK TO
BE DONE IN PROWERS
Next Years Program Will Include
Improvement of "a Miles in
This County.

\ large amount of road construc-
tion will be done in Prowers coun-
ty during the coming year under
the federal aid law, according to the
plans of the state highway commits
sion which gave out list of pro
posed projects this week The
Prowers county projects include
the grading, draining and surfac-
ing of 30S miles south of Lamar at
cost of s24,6S971: the grading
and draining of 30 miles from La
mar south to the Baca county line
at a cost of $4,000; the grading and
drainage of Is miles of road east of
Lamar at cost of $4,000; the con-
structiOn of two miles of concrete
highway mol tn from Lamar at a
cost of $4,000. The later project
is now under way,
The commission also cOntemplat,
es extensive work on the Lamar
Springfield highway in Baca county
and on the Santa Fe trail in Bent
county. The federal government
pays One-half of the cost of these
improvements, the balance being
divided between the state and the
various counties. If all the pro-
jects are carried through it will
mean an abundance of work and a
large expenditure of money during
the coming year.-Lamar Sparks.

CONSTIPATION.

Most laxatives and cathartics at
ford only temporary relief and
should be used only for that pur-
pose. When you want permaE ent
relief take Chamberlain's Tablets
and be careful to observe the di4ec-
tiOns with each package. These
tablets not only move the bowels,
but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion.
