About . twenty-fiv- e . Cimarroniteshad planned to drive to Elizabeth-to- n

terfered, and put a stop to the trip.Xot to be outdone by Mother Na-

KEPT HIS THREAT

TO MURDER

WIFEPueblo, April t J. Hastiano Sena-

caped and posses arc searching thesurrounding country for him. Sev-

eral weeks ago Senatorc was arrest-ed on a charge of having tried to killhis daughter. Louise, with a hatchet,"tie was bound over to the districtcourt for trial and was released underheavy bonds March tj.

After his release from jail Sena-

tore again began to make trouble atborne, and last night Mrs. Senatorea r.d her two daughters left the houseand went to the home of her son,Charles, where she thought theywould be safe.

Last night Senatore went to hisson's house and requested his wife togo to their home with him to getsome things. She assented, and in

company wilit her son and husbandwent to her hoiric, where Senatorc'sbrother, James, and John Cicco, another relative, were wailing for them.

As soon as they entered the houseSenatore drew a revolver and saidthat he was going to kill his son,whom he believed was the cause ofall the trouble between himself andhis wife. A struggle ensued, hut themen were unable to disarm Senatoreand all ran out of the house. The sonwas followed by Senatore, who was,however, unable to get him. He thenturned and pursued his wife, who,with the other two men, had attempt-ed to leave the yard by the rear gate.Just as she reached the alley Senatorefired four times, two of the bulletstaking effect.

Mrs. Senatore died on the way toSt. Mary's hospital. One of the bul-

the grass and trees are properly tak-

en care of, in addition to giving gen-

eral supervision to the work oí lay-ing out the park.

It would be a nice thing if everyone would plant one tree and under-take to do something to make the un-

dertaking a success. Many have al-

ready signifiicd their willingness togive of labor material or money, andit truly looks as if Cimarron hasawakened and decided to work to-

gether in the future.

MILL WILL

STARTAGAIN

CS.Woods To Run His

Lumber Yard AtFull Blast .

One of the signs that the times arebecoming, better again, is seen in theplan of C. S. Wood to run his big

mill in Ponil Canon at full blast as

soon as he can get men enough to

operate it. The Wood mill is situ-

ated in Ponil Park, and is a big con-

cern, capable of turning out an im-

mense amount of lumber each day.

When running at full blast, it re-

quires in the neighborhood of thirtymen to take care of the material anddo the work required to get the lum-per ready for loading.

Mr. Wood had planned to start hismill last Monday morning, if he couldget enough men to pay doing so, andas soon as sufficient men Urn up: hewill be shipping car load after carh ad of lumber to Cimarron for treat-

ment at the big planning mill of theContinental Tie cV. Lumber Co.

Mcelroy backm TRIP

MADE EXTENDED TRIPTHROUGH OLD MEXICO.

SAW BULL FIGHTS.

Alex. McFJroy, of the ContinentalTie & Lumber company has been en-

joying his vacation by taking an ex-

tended trip through Old Mexico., and

stopping over on his way back atdifferent points n the territory visit-

ing friends.

While out on the trip, Mr. McKlroy

visited the City of Mexico, and he

states that it is one of the prettiestcities in he world. It has a largrenumber of American residents andis very cosmopolitan in every respect.Mr. McKlroy stated that he took in

a big bull fight, while at the City ot

Mexico. They had imported a cele-

brated matador from Spain especial-

ly for the occasion, and twelve horsesas well as eight bulls were killed for

tile cm rriainmctit ot tno crown 01

over twenty-fiv- e thousand there towitness the spectacle. Mr. McF.lroystated that the Mexicans all com-- j

plain that nearly every "Gringo" whowitnesses a bull fight, heartily wishesthat the fighters would find thedeath that they intend to meet out tothe noble bull, and that he Americanos are therefore a heartless race.The Mexicans cannot understand theAmerican desire for a fair fight withequal chances,- - do not welcome"Gringo"' visitors to the fights. Theydo not understand why an Ameri-

can does not like to see a poor oldblind-folde- d horse deliberately turned side ways and held for the chargeof the bull, in order that he maygore the poor creature to death.

SOUTH SIDE

WON GAME

Score Eight To FiveIn Favor Of

South Siders

Last Sunday afternoon, the ballpark was the scene of one of themost exciting and snappy ball gamesCimarron has seen for some time. Ithad been decided early in the weekthat the '.South Siders'' should runup against the "Northerners," andsee what would happen. Those ar- -

ranging the game, took the railroadas the division line, agreeing that anyone who lived on the south side ofthe track could play with the "South-iders- "'

while any one living on thenorth side of the track could playwith the "Northerners." Right therewas where the difficulty begun. Theca.--o of genial "BoNy" Barr, theefficient twirlor of the horsehide .wasat once brought to the attention ofthe committee on arrangements."Bobby" cats on the south side anddraws his pay and rooms on thenorth side of the track. Qucrry?What was "Hobby?" The chairmanof the committee finally decided that110 one could live without eating, anilLhat, therefore, "Hobby" was a South-skie- r.

Of course the fact that thechairman was a sotithsider himselfhad nothing to do .with the decision.and so every onc was satisfied. Thenthe question arose as to which sidethose sleeping in box cars bvlong- -

d to. It was decided that if the boxcar was on a side track, they wereouthsiders. If they slept on the

north side of a box car on the maintrack, they were northerners.

Promptly at the scheduled time,Umpire "Jimmy" Fulton called thegame and the mighty .warriors joinedin a battle to the death. For theirst three innings, the game was niptnd tuck.

Willi batteries of p.arr and Sullivanfor the sotithsider.s and Fisher andTonimic Brooke for the northerners,the game was faiily even, but soonthe souhtsiile--- : slowly forged aheadand continued io keep their lead un-

til the end of the game which endedeight to five in their favor.

The line up was as follows:Northerners T. Brooke, (catclVr;

the walks into the center. The groundwill be thoroghly cultivated andseeded to grass, and in lines radiatingfrom the central lake, shade treeswill be planted. Mr. Grubbs has madethe offer to tend to the cultivation ofthe park free of charge, if the restof the Cimarronites will help bearthe expense which is of necessity in-

cident to the work contemplated.The whole idea and the labor of get-

ting the movement started belongs toMr. Grubbs, and from the manner inwhich he has gone after results, thechances are that before spring is overwe will see a great change.

Subscription List Out.Xot content with offering to per-forn- ij

the labor of making the parka thing of beauty and joy forever, Mr.Grubbs has circulated a subscriptionlist, and a large number of the

business men of Cimarron arecontributing liberally. It as the planof Mr. Grubbs to have those whoowned teams to give their servicestoward getting the ground ready forgrass seeding. He thought that themerchants might give the seed, lab-

orers dig the holes for the trees, oth-

ers furnish trees, gravel for thewalks, wire and posts for the fences,water for the grass, and when every-

thing was put in shape, Mr. Grubbshimself has undertaken to see that

served in that capacity for some time.Mr. Winters has removed to the

Pratt Mills where he has work whichwill keep him busy for some time tocome.

BUILD RESIDENCE.

Mi J. A. Dancer has decided toerect a dwelling house and barber

top columned on ins property nerein Cimarron. The building will bestarted very shortly, and Mr. Dancerexpects to have it completed before

passing of many weeks.

WILL START

A LAUNDAY

Mrs. T. S. Keefer Pur-chase-d

PropertyFor Laundry

One of the business enterpriseswhich Cimarron has most felt theneed of, is about to be started. Mrs.T. S. Keefer and her husband arc-no-

planning to start a laundry in

Cimarron. They have purchased lottwenty-si- x of block forty-si- x of Mr.Campbell, and will move into thebuilding now on the lot as soon astheir machinery comes.

Mrs. Keefer is an experienced laun

dress and states that she will not install much machinery, preferringrather to. do most of the work byhand. U has been her experiencethat band work on the clothes is thebest manner of doing laundry becauseit is much mure saving on the clothesShe states that many people preferthat iriethnd, even at a little higherprice, than to h ive their clothes tornto piece? with a machine. For thosewho wish machine work, the laundrywill be thoroughly equipped. A laundry is somethine that Cimarron haslong felt the need of, and the Citizenwishes the new enterprise every success.

A new automobile bill offered taxesthe machines according to weight.That is all right when the thing runsover you, but while you are still dodging you want it taxed according tohorse power and speed.

Cimarron has awakened to the fact

that its park should be made a thing

of beauty, something that will be anobject of pride, and a comfort to ev-

ery one. A big movement is now onfoot to make the beauty of the parkan "is now" rather than a "should be''affair, and the credit of this move-

ment is due H. K. Grubbs, whothough comparatively a new comer,has already shown himself to be oneof Cimarron's most enthusiastic ad-

mirers and supporters, and one whois more than willling to take workupon himself in order to advance theinterests of Cimarron.

Mr. Grubbs gave the matter no lit-

tle thought and finally submitted ft

plan for laying out the park to hisfeilow citizens. This plan conteníplates building a neat fence all

around the park, and then laying outwalks around the four sides. A walkwill be run diagonally through thepari: from the southeast corner tothe northeast corner, and anotherfrom the southeast corner to thenorthwest corner. In - the" center,where' the walks meet, a minaturelake will be laid out, the walks form-

ing its borders and passing complete-ly around it. On the north and high,est side, water connections will bemade with the city water system, andsmall irrigation ditches will follow

THIEF IS

CAUGHT

Man Who Stole SaddleFrom H. L. Pratt

Is Apprehended

Deputy Game Warden W. If. Du-

quette is making a shining record as

a thief catcher, and this reputation

was augmented by a nifty' little cap-

ture he made the other day. He re-

ceived a telephone. message from thePrstt mill in Dean Canon to the ef-

fect that one of the men who hadbeen working there, had decampedwith a saddle belonging to Mr. H. L.

Pratt. A short description of thethief was given, and "Shorty" set hiseagle eye out on 'duty. About teno'clock the next morning, he spied a

man answering the description, andfurther in vestigation showed that hehad a saddle that looked like it mighthclvue, to H. I.. Pratt in the possession of the stranger. As soon as"Shorty" made sure, the man was the'.one he was looking for, he said,"Here, I want Pratt's saddle." Thestranger looked a little surprisedbut gave it up without comment orargument. Argument is a prettyhard proposition when "Shorty" en-

forces his points in the delicate littlemanner l:c has when he goes man-huntin-

and so the point at issue wasconceded by the jury of one withoutdelay.

Duquette sent Pratt word that hehad his saddle and asked if he wantedthe man held in order that he mightappear against him, but Pratt did notuih to prosecute the offender, andlie was allowed to harden his journeyto Tercio, Colo. This is the secondneat capture that Duquette has madewithin the last fortnight, and at thepresent rate, offenders will bewareof Cimarron when they becomeaware that we have a game wardenhere who is a hunter oí man as well.

K. Pelphreywas adopted. This plan has beenused in a number of school buildingsand it is onc that is suitable in everyrespect. The proposed building .willbe a two-stor- structure, built ofeither brick or stone. The architec-ture is very fine, and the whole isvery dignified and mposing. In frontwill be a square tower, with two en-

trances opening into a large androomy hall way, which is situatedabout in the central portion of thebuilding. Upon this hall, the studyrooms, three for each floor, openout. Each room is provided withwardrobes and two entrances. Fromthe main first floor hall, wide stairsraise to a hall in the second story.This hall is the exact counterpart ofthat on the first floor. The arrange- -

ment of the second floor, making sixrooms in all. each twenty-fou- r by.twenty-eigh- t feet in dimensions. Offthe second floor hall, a library is thir- -

teen by thirteen feet, and is siluat.-- d

iu the front part of the building, un- -

dor the tower. The room immediate- -

ly under it on the i irt floor, is ti be

used for the teachers' meetings andthose of the School Directors.

not been received, and while the planhave not as yet been formally adopted bv the Count v Superintendent, itis practically decided that this building will be either a stone or brickstructure with stone trimmings. Itis- - somewhat problematical whetherthe building can be built and equip-ped with the money that can be legally raised, but in case it can not, it isplanned to build the building and fur-

nish only as much of it as there ismoney to meet the bills.

Laqd Donated.In order to help Cimarron along

and give it the school building thatit deserves, the Cimarron Townsitecompany nave donated to the district, nearly a whole block of land.The site wicked on, is at the pointwhere Lincoln avenue runs into themesa about a block and a half southof the Oxford hotel. The Townsite,'ompany has undertaken to close up

street and give tnat mucn moreroom lor the school building. Thissite is on high ground and is midwaybetween old and now towns, and is

idea! in its location. The buildingmay he seen all over town, and it isequally convenient to all parts ofCimarrón. There has been some lit-

tle protest to this site because of theneighborhood, but no location couldbe less obieetionablc. In the immed-

iate vicinity of the site, the town is asyet undeveloped, and not built up.The budding of the school house in

this neighborhood will make the vi-

cinity a desirable location for thoseuho wish to educate their children.Because this part of town will be de-

sirable, desirable people will in con-

sequence erect their residencesaround the school house, and it willnot be long before this locality willbe one of the best portions of Cimar-

ron. The Citizen congratulates the

You have seen stocks and bonds go to almost nothing, but have yon ever seen the land decline? Even if you don't want to farm yourself, don't you think you had better buy apiece of land before it is too late? You know, don't you, that the reason many of you are living in affluence now, is because when you were children your fathers bought IowaIllinois or other lands at $10 an acre, which are now worth $100 an acre up?Perhaps you don't know that at the rate the cost of living is advancing, if your children are to be as comfortable when they are old as you are now, they will have to have asmuch more money than you have now as you had more than your father, had when you were children? It is a fact, you just didn't thiijk of it in that light before. You want todo as well by your children as .your fathers did by you, don't you? Of course you do, and a little better. Then don't you think you had better buy a piece of land?Even if you dont want to farm, or have your children farm, buy them each a piece of land and let it lie anil double and double in value. If land went from $10 to $100 per acre andmore, in your life time, with plenty of government land to take up, if one did not want to buy, where do you think it will go to in your children's life time, now that all but one-ha- lf

of one per cent of the government land is gone? '

IT HAS 1,000 SQUARE MILES OF COAL LANDS; 1,000,000 ACRES OF FARMING LANDS; 2 ACRE-FEE- T OF AVAILABLE FLOOD WATER FOR EACH ACRE BE-SIDES THE NORMAL RAINFALL; 1,500,000 ACRES OF GRAZING LANDS; AND 100,000 ACRES OF GOLD, SILVER, COPPER, COAL, LEAD, AND IRON BEARINGMINERAL LANDS. THE FARMING LANDS, THE MINERAL LANDS, AND MOST OF THE COAL, TIMBER AND GRAZING LANDS LIE IN THE CIMARRON VAL-LEY, WHICH .INCLUDES THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY. IT IS A REGION OF PERENNIAL SUNSHINE, COOL NIGHTS PERFECT SOTLAND ABUNDANT WATER, AND TO THE AMAZEMENT OF THE CATTLE BARONS, IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE 40 ACRES THEY ASSIGNED IN THEIRBOUNTY TO A COW AND HER CALF, WILL WITH INDIFFERENT CULTIVATION SUPPORT A FAMILY.It js true that this is very choice land, in fact it is the cream of the whole Southwest, and it is because the cattle kings have held on to the best until the last. It will go all the fasteron that account. You had better get hold of a piece of this land before it is all gone.

NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY

because the cattle baron don't know how sronrl it is or how manytimes it is going to double in value in the next few years. They bought it cheap when they were young menand while they knew it was the finest grazing land in all the world, and the best watered, they did not realize that it was good for anything else and they thought they were getting the best of the bargain when they sold it to the Eastern real estate dealers for $10 per acre, but

IT WILL RAISE SUGAR BEETS and ALFALFA and WHEAT and OATS and BARLEY and RYE and FRUITS and VEGETABLES,and the farmers will raise more cattle on the side and all the great ranches put together numbered in their herds. The cattle barons wondered where the wo.rld would

tret its supply 06 beef when they went out of the business, but every 40 acre farm where the baron ran a cow and a calf, is raising from a dozen head tip upon its stubble fields ar.around its straw stacks, besides horses and hog's and poultry,

AND NEXT YEAR THE STOCK WILL BE FATTENED ON THE PULP FROM THE SUGAR FACTOSIESand the output of cattle from this section will be greater by ten fold than it. was' in the reign of the cattle kings. In the fall the farmers go hunting in nearby mountains "wherespeckled trout, deer and wild turkey abound and every now and then one finds a gold mine or a copper mine and don't have to farm any more.

There is five times as much coal in tnis valley as there Is in the whole Connellsville basin in Pennsylvania and there are great forestsof pine timber covering its foothills,

and towns are springing up where the foothills and farm lands meet, and fortunes are being made in real estate, for the farm lands make the towns grow and the town make the farm I

amU desirable.It is an ideal place for the homescekcr and it is a good place to salt down a few dollars even if one does not want a home or a farm, for land has been raising in valise since the worldbegan, and when one-ha- lf of one per cent of government land is gone it will raise faster than ever. It cannot run away, or burn tip, or be stolen. But it can all be taken tip, orbought up. Maybe you never stopped to think that land is the one thing the supply of which is limited. There is just so much land in existence, and as the population increasesthere is no knowing where the price of land will go to.

Any piece of fairly good land at any price in reason Is a good investment,but of course the better the land and the lower the price the better the investment, and this is just .what you can find in the Cimarron Valley. PERFECT SOIL, ABUN'DANT WAT-ER, PERENNIAL SUNSHINE, AND THE BEST OF ALL THE LAND IS AS YET HELD AT A COMPARATIVELY LOW PRICE.The price of anything is fixed by the demand and the supply; if the supply is less than the demand the price goes up; and if the supply is greater than the demand" the price goesdown; if the supply is equal to the demand the price stands still. The supply of land in the Cimarron Valley being less than the demand, the price is going- up; but' the supply ofwater in the Cimarron Valley being equal to the demand,

There being two acre feet of available water for eacn and every acre,the price of water rights will not go up as fast as the price of. land, therefore the best investment in the Cimarron Valley is unirrigated land at from $10 to $40 per a.-rc-; for while theprice of water rights will probably advance very little in the next five years, owing to the fact that the supply is equal to the demand, irrigated land is likely to be jvorth from $,100.00per acre up and an additional investment in water rights five years from now, while costing practically no more than at present ' M .

JAPAN SLOW TO

EXPLAIN OUTRAGE

Washington, April 14. SecretaryRoot today received a cable messagefrom United States Minister Rock-hil- l

in Pekín, dealing with the at-

tack upon Consul Straight in Muk-

den by a Japanese postmas, reinforc-

ed by several Japanese hoodlums.The dispatch was decidedly pacific

in character. It said that the Jap-

anese government had taken cogniz-ance of the affront to a United Statesconsul and had asked for time to in-

vestigate. '.' ; !

The governmennt has not recededone inch from its position, however,that the attack was unwarranted. Itmay be said that nothing short of anapology and punishment of the offen-

ders will b'e accepted, and that, fail-

ing this, a message will be transmit-ted to Tokio which will be extremelyembarrassing to the elder statesmenof the Island Empire, and wliich willbe little short of an ultimatum.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITYAGAIN TO THE FORE

Chicago, April 14. Professor Geo.R. Foster of the University of Chi-

cago divnity school in an article on''The Religious Basis of Ethics" inthe current American Journal of The-

ology." issued yesterday from theuniversity press, expresses the opin-

ion that Christianity is undergoing a

crisis which may destroy it to makeroom for a new faith.

Professor Foster declares thatChristendom is witnessing the deathof the traditional Christianity andthat the deepest doubters have beenforced by their 'enseience to questionChristian ideals. Many thinkers arecoining to look upon the orthodoxideals as "grinning and grotesqueideals," he believes.

"Today we are hearing much of thereturn to faith," he said. "Personally

am unable to see any such return.There may be, indeed, signs of a

new faith, but no return. In myopinion Christianity is in the mostgrievous crisis of its history. I donot refer to controversy in the news-

papers and on the street, but to thequiet, bitter battle which serious menare fighting out in their own souls."

Durango, April 14. Following thereceipt of a "Blank Hand" letter yes-

terday by George L. Logan, superin-

tendent of the Champion mine of theGold Mill Mining company, in whie'h

the writer threatened to kill the su-

perintendent and blow up the mine

unless a certain employe he again

given work, a mysterious explosionoccurred today in which two miner'-- ,

were injured and a third is missingland is believed to have been killed.C. A. Williams is the missing- man.and, although he was known to be in

the mine when the explosion occurr-ed, all search for trace of him hasproven fruitless. Noce Lo? al ti andC. Ferrari are suffering from burnsbut will recover. An investigationof' the mine has failed to show theplace where the explosion occurred,That it was caused by gas is un-

likely since a car, carrying a largeheadlight passed through the tunnela few minutes previous to the acci-

dent and no explosion took place.The miners are sure that the explo-sion was caused by the men who sentthe threatening letter.
