SUPERIOR COURT ITEMS

Contending that the judgment entered on December g, was void, the defendant and others in the case of the Stockmen's Guaranty Loan Co.,, vs. Hugh Anderson urged successfully.a motion to set it aside on Tuesday, this week, in the superior court. A motion to strike the motion to set aside the judgement was first urged by plaintiff. hut was overruled by Judge Gibbons on Monday. The setting aside of this ju dg- ment virtually operates as a dis missal of an injunction suit pend. ing in the superior court growing out of an attempt to enforce the void judgment. In fact the plain tiffs in the injunction suit upon the granting of the motion, set aside the judgment. dismissed the injunction suit.
 The plaintiffs in the first suit renewed the fight by proving again its cause of action and moving the court. to amend the complaint to conform to the proof. The motion was granted and de- fault judgment was entered.
 A large number of out-of-town people attended the court both as witnesses and visitors, Among them were: MT. Oestreich, presi- dent of the Stockmen's Guaranty Loan Co.,, of Albuquerque, also MT. Byrd. special agent. MT. Hugh Anderson, Joe Thomas, MT. W. c. Harding, of Bluewater, Mir. James Donahoe and J. H. Garfield and George Jensen, of Adamana.
 Plaintiff was represented by Atty. c. H. Jordan and Gilbert E. Greer; the defendant by MT w. H. Furgeson and F. w. Nel- son.

An Editors Steady Income

A child is born in the neighbor- hood; the editor gives the loud lunged youngster and the happy parents a send-off and gets 5000. It is christened and the minister gets $500 and the editor gets 5000. The editor bushes and tells a dozen lies about the beauti- full and accomplished bride. The minister gets 5000 and piece of cake and the editor gets 5000. In the course of time she dies, the doctor gets from $15 to $100, the minister gets perhaps another $5, the undertaken gets from $75 to $200, the editor prints an abit- uary two columns long and card of thanks and gets 5000. No wonder country editors get rich. Have you paid your subscription? -Altamont Times.

In Reality l Answer Your
 Calls Very Promptly

The real measure of damage due to poor telephone service is in loss of time or in the personal incon- venience caused.
 Speed is a relative term that depends upon what one is used to rather than upon what one actu- ally requires or that one may have been led to expect.
 In telephone practice high speed is taken for granted; if tel ephone calls had never been an- swered by the operator in less than thirty or forty seconds, it would still be not only the quick est. Moreover. the time consumed would be less than that required to complete any other operation in the business or domestic rou- tine.
 The remarkably fast service the telephone companies have ere ated and maintained so steadily has made fifteen and twenty sec onds seem long time but only as regards telephone service.

excuse as to why they were not IN
