suing term as follows: Mr.. +. N

and it has experienced and enjoyed
a splendid growth under the leader

FREIGHT WRECKS
ON RIVER BRIDGE
FIVE CARS TIMBLE OVER
RIVER BRIDGE AP-
PROACH TRESTLE. 4
MELONS & 'TATOES
In Wrecked Cars-Kids Eat
Freely Of Luscious Fruit;
Wreck Thursday I
Night.

A car Of Florida melons, one car Of
potatoes and two cars of merchandise
were wrecked on the west approach
trestle of the river bridge on the
Montgomery Division Of the M. and
0. Thursday night about 10 o'clock.
Manifest freight No. 1870 north
bound, was the ill-fated train and the
/ five cars played havoc with the trestle
and the track for several hundred
yards.
| The cars jumped the track just of
the east end of the bridge and ran
several hundred yards before taking
the tumble to the ground below. One
Of the cars teleseoped the others and
stood in CHASTITY position high above
the trestle, battered and twisted.
1t was the third wreck that has
occurred on this particular section Of
track during the past few months, and
it is feared unless the track is put in
condition that a passenger train may
be the next victim of the treacherous
roadbed.
Melons scattered in every direction
when the cars tumhled, the melon car
having been the middle car in the
smash-up and it Jared badly wrecked.
When the news spread that melon
car had been wrecked scores of people
rushed to the scene and during the
night many of the melons were car
ried away. Early Friday morning
kids began to appear on the scene and
they reyeled in the joy of eating the
luscious fruit, many Of which had
been crushed in the wreck and had
no commercial value.
A Wholesale grocer appeared on the
scene at the request of the railroad
officials to bid on the salvaged melons
and he suggested that the kids be
allowed to eat them on the spot.
Agent Leech debated the question and
newspaper man suggested that a
vote be taken among the boys on the
question, and the vote resulted-well
you can guess. But, anyway Mr..
Leech vetoed the vote and the melons
were sold, much to the chagrin and
disappointment of the kiddies.
The melons were destined for
northern markets.
Potatoes and merchandise in the
other cars were salyaged and re-
shipment made Of the entire lot
Wreckers were rushed to the scene
during the night from Artesia and
the east end Of the Montgomery Div
ision and work of clearing the wreck
and repairing tn track began few
hours after the smash-up. Traffic on
the Artesia branch was interrupted
for MANY hours and trains were de-
toured by West Point.

FRIDAYS GAME.

In a game replete with most every
thing that goes to make an ideal base

The game was as spasmodie and

there were no casualties.

JUSTICE COURT
INCREASES FINES
Men Charged With Gaming Hauled
Into Court Again and Fines
Increased.

Following instructions from Judge
Thomas B. Carroll, Justice of the
Peace ]. d. Roberts of Artesia. with
jurisdiction in District 5, reconyened
his court west of the river and just
outside the city limits Of Columbus
Thursday, and increased the fines
assessed against some twenty white
men recently charged with gaming.
A raid was made on a gambling
house just across the river and be-
tween thirty and forty of the men
who were in the place at the time
were arrested and brought into Mr..
Roberts court, charged with gaming.
He imposed a fine of 81 in each case,
whereas the law plainly says that
the minimum fine for an offense of
this nature must be So.
When Judge Carroll was advised Of
the proceeding he instructed the
Justice, it is said to have the men
re-arrested and adequate fines im-
posed
The fines in each case were in
creased to So and the Constable or
dered to collect the difference between
this amount and the original fine Of
SO.
As far as the Justice court is con-
eerned the incident is closed affair,

TIME TO BUILD
is AT HAND
Lumber Is at Low Tide and Building
Now viii Be Cheaper Than at
Any Other Time.

Build Now" is the slogan that is
appealing to the people who are con-
templating building their own home
and owning it.
Many people who have had in mind
for months the building of a home
are beginning to size-up market CON
ditions and are making their plans
to build in the near future.
There is a decided slump in the
lumber market, and lumber is prob
ably at the lowest tide it will reach
in many months or may be years.
Contractors and lumber dealers point
out that now is the cheapest and
most economical time to build, this
opinion being based on conditions ex-
isting at present. Opinion is that the
present depression in the lumber
market is only temporary, and that
in few months the advance will come
strong again.
Home ownership is a constructive
and stablizing influence in any COM
munity; it is the badge of Thrift,
Stability and Citizenship; it encourag-
es saving and economy; it is the
foundation Of success and should be
the possession and ambition of every
family.
When the enormous amount of
money expended in the purchase of
automobiles is taken into considera-
ton it is surprising that the number
Of home-owners are not more num-
erous. Few people stop to think that
the money put into the purchase and
upkeep Of a first class automobile
represents the purchase price of a
modest home. -
