o claims
that he found his wife dead in a hollow near
the house and while carrying the body to a
neighbor’s house it fell and the neck and jaw
were broken. She was his second wife. His first
wife is also declared to have departed this life
rather mysteriously. — Advocate.
Of recent years Deming has been very
ambitious and has endeavored to outstrip Sil-
ver City in every particular. In one way it has
been deficient, it has never had any scandals
of importance. It is true the Edmunds act
created considerable excitement in the town,
but they all got married and that settled all
trouble. Now, however, Deming is preparing
to brag of its scandal. Recently a prominent
citizen went down to Columbus on business. He
returned, but unfortunately it was one day
earlier than he had agreed to come. He opened
the door of his house, walked in and there
found another prominent citizen and his wife
in a very compromising position. He walked
out, and by the way he slammed the door promi-
nent citizen No. 2 came to the conclusion that
No. 1 was not pleased with what he saw.
Prominent citizens are both at Deming and the
woman in the case has gone to El Paso. —
Liberal.
