r A LINCOLN COUNTY UXIIIUIT AT Till! TERRITORIAL PAIR. It is high time for the people of this county to bestir them selves with a view to sending a respectable collection of exhibits to the Territorial Fair, which opens at Albuquerque the last week in next mouth. Pew coun ties in this vast territory are in as good position, this year, as Lincoln county to send exhibits, and for variety of products none arc equal. What would have most cllcct in drawing the atten tion of the thousands of outsiders who will attend the Fair, would be cereals, fruits and other farm products. Those who have ad joining farms could make up a combination exhibit of the best that each produced. Several mining companies have agreed to send valuable collections of min eral specimens. Some live stock, fruit and farm products, grown with or without irrigation, and exhibited at the Fair, would, we believe, be the means of bringing hundreds of good farmers, with money, into this county. The National Irrigation Congress will meet at Albuquerque during Fair week. Delegates from every state and territory in the Union will attend, besides governors, deputy governors) statesmen, and nun cl reels of others interested in irri gation, which is another good reason why Lincoln county should be represented at the Fair. A MASONIC LOIK1U. On Wednesday evening next, September 2, there will be a meet ing of the Masonic fraternity in the law office- of Barber & Gierke, at 7:30 o'clock, Business of ail important nature will come be fore the meeting, not the least important of which will be the signing of a petition for a dis pensation and the election of officers. Other matters pertain ing to Hie establishment of the lodge will come up for discussion at the meeting, and brethren from outside points arc especially re quested to be present. It is un derstood that the paraphernalia belonging to the old White Oaks lodge, which has passed out of existence, can be had. The new lodge will start out under very favorable auspices, and from the amount of good material in Carri 7.0:50 and vicinity, it would be safe to predict that in a very few months it will compare favorably with some of the older lodges in the territory. DURAN HAS A KILLING. J. W. Miller, commonly known as "Smoky," shot and killed C. D. Marque?,, a saloon keeper, at Duran, Monday of this week. Miller was an officer, and had taken a pistol from Maniuez, who was drinking, and had become disorderly. Marquess, however, had another pistol, which he pulled and shot Miller twice, hitting him in the right shoulder and riirht hit). Miller, although partially paralyzed, managed to draw his weapon, and, shot Mar quest four times, killing him. Mounted Policeman W. K. Dud lay, who happened to be in Carri SCQZD at the time, received notice of liio trouble, went to Duran and placed Miller on a southbound train and lodged him in the hos pital at Alamogordo, where his injuries were attended to. AN INTGRRUPTBI) PIC-NIC. A happy little party of pic nickers, consisting of Mrs. IraO. Wctmoru, Miss Georgia Lestiet, Miss Lena Lloyd, and P. 13. Lacey, left Sunday for a day's outing on thcDonito. The ladies brought baskets along, well-filled with good things. When Angus was reached the cloth was spread on the green sward, beneath fra grant fruit trees, drooping with their loads of delicious fruit, and the party had luncheon, after which they rambled over the ground, once the favorite camp ing place of the red man. When the party got ready to return they tilled their baskets with the choicest fruit from the orchards. One little incident occurred after luncheon which may be worth re lating. 1 lie ladles were sudden ly startled bv sccinir several wild little animals, something smaller than domestic cats, scamper across the lawn and hide behind the trees, as if getting ready to spring at litem, l lie ladies screamed, and Doc Lacey, who is an ex-ball player, reached for a buckwheat bincuit, let lly an iu-curvc and brought down one of the var mints ; another quick in-slioot ac counted for the other. This is no reflection on thc,biscuits, as a biscuit, no matter how light, when it leaves Doc's hand, travels as if shot from a catapult, and in variably means sudden death if it connects. Investigation, how ever, revealed the fact that the cause of the excitement was a couple of harmless little squirrels, Doc roasted the squirrels and ate them, and said the wild flavor was fine. Of course he had fruit, crackers" and giugcrsnaps too. Notwithstanding the scare the parly claim that Angus is cer tainly a delightful place and that they enjoyed every minute there, except the few moments when they were rudely disturbed by the squirrels. Returning in the evening they were joined at Nogal by Kay Half and Phoebe Guthrie, who were returning from the ball game at Capitan. Doc held the ribbons, and the 62 miles traveled that day did not disturb a hair oti the pretty pair of black mules. Notice of Postponement nf Sale, In the District Court for Lincoln County. N. M. W.
