Never before had the community Of
Hondale sustained such a shock as
when, ON Saturday evening, the news
spread that q. Wilbur Weedman was
entombed In well
He had been working on well on
DR.. VIM. Scott's place when within an
hours time of the completion Of the
work there was n cave-in which buried
the unfortunate man under about 10
feet Of sand and gravel. Like Wild
fire the news spread and In an incredi-
bly, short time cars were speeding from
every direction bringing men eager TO
help In the rescue of their friend and
nelghbor. All night long they worked
In relays. strainlng their muscle almost
to the breaking point while number
Of ladies kept them supplied with hot
coffee and lunch. Never will they for
get the anguish of that night, as hour
after hour robbed the stricken wife Of
hope. AT last, ut about II. m. the
lifeless body was recovered.
The deceased was born near Bristow,
Ind, thirty-nine years ago. In 1907
he was married to Leona COmstock. In
1914 they came to Hondale. Mr. Weed
man was II man Of exemplary habits, a
devoted husband and father, of cheer
full disposition and always ready to
lend helping hand. That he was
highly respected was shown by the sor-
row caused by his untimcly death. Be

he is mourned by three sisters, two of
whom live In Indiana and the other In

TO which faith Mr.. Weedmnn belonged
prayers were said by neighbor friends
The beautiful flowers ON his caskel
were the last tokens of love. Dr. and
Mrs. Wm. Scott on whose place the
terrible accident occurred did all IN
their power 10 facilitate the work OF
rescue and the men appreciated theii
efforts To keep them comfortable dur
ing the disagreeable weather of the
night.
Mrs Weedman wishes to express hel
gratitude to all who have been so kind
In her affliction, especially to thos'
who so heroically worked all night
THE thought Of this voluntary offering
Of help is one of her greatest comforts
out OF respect for the deceased there
was no school on Monday.
The lectures on Wednesday, Thurs
day and Friday by the Rev. Wachholi
of Fort Bayard were very well at
tended and caused much Favorable
comment.
The elaborate program which has

rectiOn Of the War Risk Insurance bu-

million ON each.
Albuqucrque's many advantages and
its suitableness as the site OF one Of

attention Of the committee In charge Of
the locations In several fOrcible ways.
chamber Of commerce officials believe
that the city stands II fine chance Of
drawing one of them through the fact
that this section Of the country Is al
ready famous for It's climate and other
natural advantages, and that Alhuquer-
que Is the largest city OF the west or
southwest which has "A continuously
fine climate, never going 10 extremes
of heat, cold, moisture or drought.

EVERYBODY DOING 1T

Deming, II would seem from indicat-
ions Is about TO enter upon another era
Of good feeling and mutual helpfulncss.
Due to conditions following the war
there has been lack Of civic enterprise
that tended 10 draw the citizens to-
gcthcr in community effort. For some
time Il has been felt that this stete OF
affnirs should be- remedied, consequent
Is the Dcmmgites have been interest
ing themselves In plans for resump-
tlnn NJ the booster activities that have
made Dcmiug what II Is today. The
chamber Of commerce was a little slow
Ia react 10 the new sentiment and some
of the more enthusiastic formed a
booster club. Now the chamber OF
commerce has gotten on the job and
things have begun TO happen. The
two organizn uOns are working In com
pletc harmony for the good Of the city
aud it can be- expected that some OF
the more recent Of Deming's dreams
will come true.
