400 ACRES IN ALFALFA The Lyons & Campbell Cattle Company have about 400 acres seeded in alfalfa on Duck Creek and the Gila, and will plant several hun- dred acres more this year. The company will also plant a large amount of corn. The artificial lake on Duck creek is probably the finest body of water in New Mexico. During vdndy weather the waves roll as high as three feet, and have occasioned a great deal of trouble with the dam. Willows and cottonwoods are being planted along the dam for its protection. With this ( 4 ) body of water, the company will soon be able to reclaim several hundred acres of desert land which for fertility cannot be excelled in any country. The storage of this water demonstrates what can be done in this country. He Wished She Was A Centipede A party was given in St. Louis to which was invited a noble but bashful cowboy, says the St. Louis Republic. He was a good looking fellow, and one of the ladies took an interest in him and tried to make him feel at ease. He fell desperately in love at once, and the hostess noticing this, en- couraged him all she could. In leaving the house the young lady who had taken a friendly interest in the cowboy forgot her overshoes, and the hostess told the young Lochinvar of the plains that he might return them if he wished.

at once, and the hostess noticing this, en- couraged him all she could. In leaving the house the young lady who had taken a friendly interest in the cowboy forgot her overshoes, and the hostess told the young Lochinvar of the plains that he might return them if he wished. The herder leaped at the chance, and pre- sented himself in due time at the young lady’s house. She was surprised to see him, but greet- ed him cordially. “You forgot your overshoes last night,” said he awkwardly, handing her the package. She thanked him and opened it. “Why, there is only one overshoe here,” she exclaimed. “Yes, miss!” said the blushing vaquero ear- nestly, “I’ll bring around the other one tomor- row, and I only wish, miss, that you were a centipede.” Miss Cora Lee, one of the Silver City demi- monde, made a vicious attack on Charles Al- lingham, better known as “Sandy” on Wednes- day evening. The implement used was a good sized boulder. Miss Cora was arrested and Mr. Allingham cared for by a doctor. Cora is getting cranky again. TREMONT HOUSE ARRIVALS

A Poisoning CaseThe details of a case of attempted poison- ing on the Gila was this week brought to this city by the residents of that section. It seems that Mr. Piper, who has the McMillen place leased, prepared dinner for Peter Shelley and another gentleman, who were helping him chop up corn. Mr. Piper was still preparing the meal when Mr. Shelly asked him why he put quinine in his bread. Mr. Piper immediately became alarmed and told him to quit eating it as some- one tried to poison him some two weeks ago, and he was suspicious that it was another at- tempt. The bread was fed to a hog which im- mediately showed signs of being poisoned, and soon died. Mr. Shelly was taken with cramps, and got on his horse and rode to Holloway’s, a short distance, but when he got to the house he was so effected by the poison that he could not talk. He lived only a short distance from the Holloway place, so hurried on home, melted some lard and swallowed it, which saved his life, although for nearly two weeks he was un- able to walk. Mr. and Mrs.

the house he was so effected by the poison that he could not talk. He lived only a short distance from the Holloway place, so hurried on home, melted some lard and swallowed it, which saved his life, although for nearly two weeks he was un- able to walk. Mr. and Mrs. Holloway live in one of the McMillen places, keeping the stage stand, which they rent from Mr. Piper. It seems that they had been accused by someone of hav- ing poisoned the yeast from which Mr. Piper made his bread. Col. R. S. Allen and Ed Moul- ton took dinner at the Holloway place last week and while there Mr. Piper came over to borrow a pair of stilliards. Mrs. Holloway accused him of having said that she or her hus- band attempted to poison his grub. Mr. Piper denied having made such a statement, but ad- mitted that he had said that he had tracked Mr. Holloway to and from the house. He did not get the scales, and Mr. Holloway is talking of having him prosecuted for the talk he has made. ( 5 ) It is quite evident that someone did poison the yeast from the effect of which Mr. Shelly came near losing his life. The matter should be thor- oughly investigated by the next grand jury.
