BILLY THE KIDS OLD HAUN7S THRIVE Lincoln County, N. M, Reviys
 Cattle Herds

Carrizozo, \. NJ. Jan. 20 Rl--Lin- coln county, which was for many years a center of the livestock in- dustry of the southwest. is staging a comeback in the cattle business. Many noted old ranches, some em- bracing as much as S00,000 acres, have changed hands and are being restocked with high grade or reg istered animals.
 Lincoln county was d pioneer in the cattle business, the first great herds of the state. often number ing over 100000 head. being ranged here during the Civil war. The in- dustry in early days was largely confined to pig companies, and their conflicting range interests gave cause for many bitter range wars.
 It was here that Billy the Kid rose to fame in range war activi ties. killing 1e men of the opposing faction in the lincoln county war before he died with his boots on at the age of q. The factional fight in which he figured grew out of the killing of Robert Tunstall. for whom Billy the Kid was range fore man.
 George Coe. former partner and friend of Billy the Kid. still lives here and is one of Lincoln county's leading .stockmen.

Indiana Wants ln Outlet to
 the Sea

Ninafnnes, Ind, Jan. .O.-LR-To make the Wabash river famous for something more than song, Thomas H. Adams. veteran Indiana editor and a group of Vincennes men propose a new lakes-to-the- gulf waterway project.
 , "The Indiana plan of river trans portation and waterways" as 1t Is termed by the sponsors contem- plates the dredging of q channel m the Wabash river from the point Where it empties into the Ohio river 10 site near Huntington, Ind, then the use of the little river as canal to connect at Ft Wayne with the Maumcc river, which extends to Lake Erie at Toledo, Ohio.
 Ii also is suggested that the Wa bash be come cted with Lake Michi- -.n by q canal dug from Lake County iGary) to a point near Del- phi. Ind.
 Adams says the engineers who consider the plan feasible estimate tLe project would cost S30,000, 900. The editor and his associates pre- scented their plan to the rivers and harbors congress and also conferred with the Indiana delegation in con- Gress on the subject.

when the Norsemt first came to Greenland they found the same type of people living there as they found in Ninland, in America.
 Soo:l after Jeff Ericsson's visit to Greenland, the continental island was settled by several thousand Scandinayians. During the !. ter middle ages, however. all communi- cation between Greenland and Nor way ceased, and by the sixteenth century all trace of the Europeans had faded. They had either inter married with the EslsimauN or had Eeen eNterminated.
 In the eighteenth century most of the colonists sent to Greenland We're convicts. Christianity was first introduced here by Jeff Fries sen in 1000. but it died out several centuries later. to be reintroduced in 1721 by Norwegian clergyman.

 KEPT VERY BUSY
Ptyton Gordon Much in Demand
 in Oil Trial

Washington. Jan. 20. R-Peyton Gordon. United States district attor- ney for the District of Columbia, has been identified with the Doheny and FaIl-Sinclair oil trials so long now that the public may think that prosecution of these cases Is all that he does.
 On the contrary, during most of the litigation the prosecutor had spent most of the nights in attend ing to other matters involved in the upwards of 12,00O criminal cases his office handles each year.
 Gordon personally reads every brief and supervises the work done by his 90 assistants. Another one of his practices is. to read every communication received by his of tice and 10 sign every letter that goes out. Since Gordon took office in 1921 he personally has received every person who called to see him.
 The work of the district attor- ney's office in the District of Co., lumbia is greater than in any other district. because many cases tried ! In state courts, elswhere sse fed .ral cases here aud not because there is more crime in the district.
 In addition to crime. Gordon's cflice handles all litigation concern ing cabinet officers in the District of Columbia. War Risk Insurance cases and those of ,,he Shipping Roard. Internal Revenue. Treasury ucpartinent and the Board of Tax Appeals.
 Iii tho year ending June 30 1926, the district attorneys office here took care ot t0,5S6 cases started during that year. of that number IO.0SG were terminated with 6,S23 convictions. 641 acquittals and .523 eases nol-prossed.

NOT To GRILL 4
FALL ON OIL /

Albert B. Falls professed willing
ness to tell his story about the OIL
scandals, on the basis OF his teie-
gram from Ell Paso, failed to I'M
press members of the Senate IN
vestigating committee today, ana
the project Of sending q subcom'
mittee to his bedside was abandoned.
Mr.. Fall says in his telegram
that he knows nothing about the
Continental Trading Company, nor
the Liberty bond profits that &C.
crued therefrom," said Senator
Walsh CD OF Montana, the COM
rnittee prosecutor. 1.-The purpose
of the present inquiry is to find
what became of those bonds. II
appears, therefore, that he has
nothing to tell the committee. AS
for the oil leases themselves, con-
corning which he appears willing
to testify. do not believe he could
shed any new light on them. That
phase Is pretty well known.
