READ THE ADS

Do you read the ads in your home
paper? If you don't then you are
the loser. You will be especially
so this week if you don't read the
ads of Simon Herzstein and the
OttO-Johnson Mercantile Co. Both
of these big firms are offering fea-
lures that you cannot afford to miss.
In fact, it will pay you to keep tab
on tue ads, for at any time you miss
them you are liable to lose out. The
News is the real advertising medium
in the county, and our merchants
take advantage of its circulation
when they have bargains which they
want the people to get Keep a close
tab on the ads, and get the advantage
of bargains.

FARMER
FOUNDDEAD IN HOME

James A. Macarthur, one of the
most prominent young farmers in
the New Home community, 10 miles
southeast of Clayton, was found
dead in his ranch house, on Tuesday
morning, his death resulting from
the accidental discharge OF a % cal
ibre rifle, which he had been using
to kill coyotes.
The story of the accident, as we
obtained il, was as follows:
On Tuesday morning, when Mr..
Macarthur, who slept in his little
shack on his homestead, short dis
tance from the home of his parents,
failed to come TO breakfast at his
usual time, his mother went over to
his shack, thinking perhaps that he
was i'll. When she opened the door
she found him lying on the floor in
a pool of blood. At first she thought
that his death had bee0 caused by a
hemorrhage, but inva legation dis
closed the rifle lying on the floor at
the foot of the bed, and a bullet hole
in his breast just above the heart.
The body was still warm when
found by Mrs. Macarthur, showing
that the accident had happened but
a short time before her arrival.
II seems as though Mr.. Macarthur
had been bothered with coyotes
around his place, and had been in
the habit Of getting UP each morn
ing and shooting at them, and the
evidence showed that on Tuesday
morning he had arisen and dressed
himself and had reached for the
gun, taking hold Of it by the muzzle,
and in dragging ii from its position
at the foot of the bed the hammer
caught on the bedstead discharg-
ing it, the bullet entering the breast,
causing instant death.
Upon finding the body Mrs. Nc
Arthur notified her husband, and he
went TO a neighbors for assistance
and word was sent to his sisters,
Misses Reba and Lois, who are en-
ployed in the First National bank
here An inquest was held over
the remains and verdict of acci-
dental death was rendered The
DouE was Drought mere prepared
for shipment and taken to Green
willie, Mo, for burial, accompanied
by his parents and two sisters. The
deceased is survived by his parents,
three brothers and five sisters.
The deceased was a man of about
80 years of age of exemplary habits,
we'll educated and was we'll liked by
all who knew him. He was secre-
Lary of a farm loan association and
was active in all the affairs of his
community and his untimely death
comes as a sad blow TO not only his
parents but the community in gen
cral.

BANK AND SCHOOL INTER-
ESTS ARE CONSOLIDATED

The Denver Post of Wednesday ex-
poses the fact thar banking and
school interests were again consol-
idated in Clayton, through the agen-
cy of Mr.. Cupid, general manager
of the Universal Matrimonial Bu-
reau when Mr., John V. Janney was
united in marriage to Miss Florence
E. Hill.
Mr.. Janney is one of the en-
ployes of the First National Bank
and has been associated with that
institution for the past three or
more years. Besides holding a re-
sponsible position in the bank, he is
"a prominent member of the Ameri-
can Legion, and served the local post
as delegate to the National Con
ventiOn in Kansas City. He has
not yet returned from that meeting
and we had lost track of him until
his marriage license appeared in
the Denver Post.
Mrs. Janney is one of Clayton's ef-
ficient school teachers and has been
here for the past two years. In her
stay here she has surrounded her-
self with large circle of friends
who wish her we'll
We interrogated Prof. Huff re-
garding the recent matrimonial ALI
ances in school circles. and he says
that he will turn the loss into gain
by adding Messrs Scott and Janney
to the faculty roll, but as yet he is
undecided as 10 what position he will
play them in. We suggest football.
We congratulate the newlyweds
and wish them nothing but the best
in theiH chosen careers.

that they appointed a special po-

.RATON'S TOUCHDOWN IS
PROTESTED BY CLAYTON

Football Coach,
University of New Mexico,
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Could a touchdown he made on an
.onside kick received behind the
goal line. The ball was kicked from
the forty-yard line. and received by
man eligible on the kicker's side
two yards behind the goal line.
Please wire your decision in this
matter Would like to know today.
Raymond Huff,
Supt. Of Schools, Clayton. n. NJ.
Raymond Huff.
Clayton, New Mexico.
Inside kick must be received be-
fore goal line is crossed. Rule: Any
kicked ball. other than from kick
off or kick after fair catch, auto
matically becomes touch-back when

touched by opponents or an onside
man.
r. w. Johnson.
This telegram, which is an answer
TO one sent by Mr. Huff to one of
the leading authorities in the state
on football, would indicate that the
touchdown which Ration was cred
tied with was in reality no touch
down at all, but tOuehback, and
the ball should have been given to
Clayton on Batun's lweuiy-yard line.
If this is the case we can see very
readily why the referee would not
do this, as he was afraid there would
be no more chances as good as this

tunity to score,
Ii Ration still argues That she won
her points fairly. we cannot alter
the decision of the referee, but we
can demand thai they show their
colors aDd if they are sports and
think they have the strongest team

AN AGED COVENTRY MAN
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
George Hyland, ~, Employed on
Road Construction, Meets
Instant Death

A fatal accident occurred in Cow
entry Friday afternoon in which
George Hyland. a resident of that
town, was instantly killed. The ac-
cident occurred about 4:30 o'clock in
the gravel pit just beyond the vii
lage of Coventry where the steam
shovel. has been in use in connection
with the building of the Federal
road, since the fall of 1919.
Mr.. Hyland, man Of II years had
only worked in the pit since Mon
day, and had made his home for the
past two years with his son, Will, on
the farm known as the Sargent place.
Saturday before the accident he went
to Coventry village to visit another
son, Charles, and early in the week
went to work in the gravel pit. The
son, Will, did not know of his being
at work until the message came that
he had been killed.
He met his death when the shovel,
descended to the pit for loading. Dur
ing the time the shovel was being
empted Mr.. Hyland, who with two
other men were in the pit, went up to
get drink of water, and as he re-
turned, he stopped to light his pipe
and failed to notice the return of the
shovel which came down on top of
his head with such force that his neck
was broken. A coroners' inquest was
held and the body taken in the Cur
tbs ambulance to the home of the son
Will. This was the first accident to
occur since the beginning of the con-
struction of the road which is now al
most completed. Mr.. Hyland leaves
five sons, one sister and one brother.
Funeral services were held at the
home of his son, Will, Sunday at
one o'clock, the Rev. w. G.. Johnson
pastor at Newport Center, officiating.
The burial was in the cemetery at

time was brought about Friday, when
Officers H. A. Rice and H. G. Locklin
Of Derby Line seized two automobiles
loaded with contraband liquors and
placed under arrest four men, occu-
pants of the cars, who were charged
with violating the Volstead act. The
men at the hearing before United
States Commissioner, Walter H. Cleary
gave their names as John Lewis,
