INDOOR CIRCUS STRANDED
WHEN MAN ACER SK|PS

When the four o'clock train pull
ed into Malta Monday, number of
young men-to be exact, IA, got off
at the station, carrying musical in
struments. They were commented
on by a number who saw them, and
wondered what they could be do
ing here. The young men came
over and went to the sheriff's resi-
dence, where a part of them had
the understanding that they had
rooms which had been engaged for
them by man by the name of
billie West" When they learned
that no such arrangements had
been made, the boys began to think
"there was niger in the wood
pile" They had been sent here by
their manager "Rillie West" to put
on an indoor circus, but no such ar
rangements had been made here
1t is true that West was here Nov.
7, and took up the matter of hold
ing an indoor circus under the aus
pices of the Community Civic club
However, the matter was dropped
and West was SO notified. This in
door circus played all last week at
New Lexington, at the armory, un-
der the auspices of the American
Legion. According to the reports
of this circus published in the New
Lexington papers, it was a great
success.
An interview with the young men
sent here revealed that West had
made them believe that he had an
engagement to bring his indoor cir
fn YNl0 hnf 10
show had been thoroughly adver-
tised, and everything was in readi-
ness for them. He sent them over
Monday evening, himself to come
later. He told those who came to
go to the sheriff's residence and tell
Mrs. Stallsmith that he would be
over for that front room he had
engaged. Of course after coming
here the young men soon learned
that they had been fooled. They
found out that as soon as West had
started them here, he himself had
skipped taking with him the pro-
ceeds of their weeks stand at New
Lexington, which was $4,000, and
his whereabouts were unknown.
The company of young men spent
the night at the Franklin hotel, and
left Tuesday on the morning train.
They were apparently fine fellows,
had been gathered together from
various places, and had been en-
ployed by West for ten weeks
contract to put on indoor circuses
at ten different places. West had
not even given them expense money,
and they were practically strapped
when they left here, but were game.
What they were planning to do with
West should they ever catch him,
can be imagined, but would not pass
the censorship board, so we will re-
frain from publishing any ex-
tracts.

Mescalero, NJ NJ, Nov. 20, '22.
Editor Democrat Having prom
ised many of my Morgan county
friends that I would see that they
heard from me, am taking this
means of doing so. Having been
the Democratic candidate for clerk
of courts of Morgan county at the
election held Nov. Z, allow me in
this way to thank every voter who
thus favored me, and especially the
voters of my own precinct. | am
and shall continue to be voter of
Morgan county. My political faith
altereth not.
Now to describe this part of New
Mexico. This place is located
about 100 miles from Ell Paso, Tex,
and has an elevation of about $500
feet. 1t is the home of the Mes
calero Apache Indians. The gov
ernment agency and school is To-
Gated in a canon at the elevation
indicated above. On either side the
elevation must be at least 1000
feet more. The hills or mountains
are covered with cedar trees. On
account of the elevation the wind
rises briskiy every day.
A day or two ago the ground
was covered with snow, but the sun
coming out the following morning
wiped it OF very quickly.
l am principal of the government
school. The school has something
like 40 Apache children. This is
a boarding school where these chill
dren are lodged, fed, clothed, and
schooled. | have always been very
fond of this work, yet l was and am
very fond of children at old Har-
mony Hill whom | taught for quite
a while.
There is wild game here, such
as bear and wild turkey. You can
be assured that l am not looking
for bears. If this letter escapes
the scrap basket, l will write at
length as soon as I get the informa
ton l want.-John B. Shell.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ISSUED
BY OUR LOCAL BANKS

AS has been previously announc-
ed, all 4s4 % Victory Notes which
bear the distinguishing letters A, B,

ial numbers have been called for re-
demption on Dec. Is, 1922, and on
that date will cease to bear interest;
such notes will be redeemed before
December Is, if desired by the hold
er, at par and accrued interest to
the date of redemption.
It seems that many holders are
still unacquainted with the fact
that these notes have been called,
or. if fully informed, are deferring
action until December IS. ...
In order to avoid congestion and
possible delay in making payments
on December Is, if presentation is
postponed until, or shortly before,
that date, it is extremely important
to the interests of the holders of
them at once even though payment
of the proceeds is not desired until
December Is Notes in registered
form, especially, should be sur
rendered Immediately in order that
payment may be made on December
Is, as it is necessary for us to for
ward such notes to the Treasury De-
partment and await discharge of
before payment can be
made.
Prompt action in this matter is
very desirable for all concerned,
and we wish to urge all holders of
Victory Notes to surrender same
without further delay.
