H. McDonough were startled when it was announced that his death had cccurred at 4:30 oclock last Tuesday morning. As late as Friday evening of last week he had been on the streets with his friends, but had complained of having felt a little worse than usual. That night he retired, and from that time gradually sank until the end came, at the hour as stated above. Mr.

McDonough was afflicted with asthma, for which trouble he came here nine years ago from Chicago, and was benefited greatly by the change of climate and altitude. During the past two years other complications set In and during that time he had suffered more than would have been suspected from his physical appearance. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 4 oclock, from the residence of Mrs. Etta Raithel on Copper avenue, J. A.

Mahoney, having charge. The home services were conducted by Rev. K. L. Houlder, Episcopal rector, while the Masonic onier had charge of the services at the cemetery.

Both the Masonic and I. O. O. F. lodges, of which deceased was member, took an active part in the arrangements and burial of their former brother lodgeman.

Many friends attended the funeral and viewed the remains. Beautiful floral offerings covered the cf-va't, in recognition of the esteem in wfi'-l the deceased was held in this roiauunity. Mr. McDonough was torn in Chicago in August, 1867, making him in his 53rd year at the time of his death. He had been a Mason in good standing for 32 years, being a member of Occidental lodge, Ottawa, 111., and for 14 years a member of Eagle lodgo, I.

O. O. Chicago. For 14 years he had served in the post office department at Chicago, having resigned that position to move to Deming on account of his physical condition. Besides the wife, he leaves two children to mourn their loss W.

D. McDonough of Albuquerque and Miss Eleanor McDonough, who is a teacher at the Waterloo Echool, in this county. The friends of the family extend their most heartfelt sympathy in their J. W. Adams Remains Are Interred Here Mrs.

J. W. Adams, who left Wednesday night of last week for Visalia, Cal, in response to a telegram with information of the death of her husband, as related in The Headlight of last week, returned Sunday morning with the remains. The funeral of deceased was held from the Mahoney undertaking parlors at 4 oclock the same day. The following clipping from the Wood lake, Cal, paper gives more information regarding the accident than was available last week: John W.

Adams, foreman of the telephone crew of the Pacific Telegraph Telephone engaged in building a local exchange for Wood-lake, was electrocuted Monday about 11 oclock near the Naranjo school house, while assisting in stringing copper wire under high voltage lines Mount Whitney company. The crew was stringing copper wire and was working beneath the lines of the Mount Witney company carrying 11,000 volts. There were two men on the poles who had pulled the wire taught when a kink was discovered in it. The roll of wire on the ground from which they were working was also found to be tangled. Mr.

Adarns and his clerk, R. H. Elder, were attempting to untangle the roll, while E. L. Pasco had hold of the wire on the ground at the other end.

The two linemen on the poles had just let go of the wire to await the untangling on the ground, and Mr. Eider had just jet go of it to go to the truck nearby for a cool when the wire broke and new upward, coming in contact with the electric wires. Mr. Adams fell against a barbed wire fence, which completed the circuit, and his body was terribly mangled by the heavy shock. Mr.

Pasco, who had hold of the other end of the wire, was standing with one foot in the grass and me on plowed ground. He was knocked down and at every place where a bladn of grass touched his clothing there was a clean hole burned to the bone. Aside from the burns and the shock he was not injured. Mr. Adams was 41 years of age, and leaves a wife in Deming, N.

M. During his brief stay here he made hosta of friends, being a congenial, regular fellow whom everybody liked. The body was rushed to the office of Dr. Pringle, where the Mount Whitney pulmotor was used without effect. The inquest was held at the office of Coroner Hadley in Visalia on Tuesday and the remains shipped east.

CO-OP. EXCHANGE TO OPENSHQRTLY ORGANIZATION IS COMPLETED, DIRECTORATE CHOSEN AND LOCATION BEING SOUGHT The Demin? Co-operative Exchange was formally and fully completed as an organization last Saturday, when the board of directors met in R. F. Hamiltons office for the first directors meeting. At this meeting the by-laws as formerly discussed and amended at a stockholders meeting were adopted.

Then followed the election of officers and directors. Hugh Ramsey was elected president; M. V. Portwood, vice president; J. F.

Dodorer, secretary-treasurer; J. C. Ingram and A. C. Elliott.

The directors were elected so that all classes and elements of the co-operators would be represented, and the general sentiment appears to be that these men are excellently qualified for their positions. There will be two branches of the business, a retail and wholesale grocery department and a wholesale produce department. The board of directors put itself on record last Saturday relative to emphasizing the produce department and making this a special feature of the Exchange. However, every effort will be made to equip the grocery department so that the members of the Exchange may be able to purchase all of their necessities. Every effort will be made to conduct an efficient business and thereby cut down the operating expenses and the cost of goods.

A cash business will be strictly adhered to. Information has been obtained showing that of all the failures in other stores that 80 per cent of the failures are due to the credit system. Another principle that will be adhered to is no free delivery. Nearly all merchants agree that the delivery systems as conducted now add at least 10 per cent to the cost of goods. The directors of the Exchange think that with the proper co-operation of their patrons the larger part of this expense may be obviated.

It was suggested that the business might be put into operation by the 20th of this month. As to just how soon the Exchange will open depends on the location and how soon the balance of the subscriptions will be paid up. If the building where the Exchange is to be located little altering or repairing time may be saved on this score. Of th $5209 subscribed, about $1500 is stall unpaid, and the directors feel that it is best not to start the business until all subscriptions have been paid in. 1 CITY OFFICIALS HOLD MEETING NEW COUNCIL REMAINS AS FORMERLY; OLD OFFICIALS TO SERVE AGAIN At a regular monthly meeting of the city council Monday night, the newly elected board of aldermen, all being re-elected RieiuberB of the old beard, consisting of Messrs.

Jim Keaiy was re-appointed city marshal; Dr. S. D. Swope, city health officer, and C. B.

Morgan, city engineer, sewer inspector, plumbing inspector, building inspector, electrical inspector, street commissioner and sanitary inspector. The city council then adjourned until next Monday night at 8 oclock, to take final action on the necessary resolution and notice for the sale of the water works bonds. FIELDS STORE HAS UNIQUE WINDOW ADVERTISEMENT Fields confectionery and cigar store has adopted a new and original manner of window advertising. They have builded a panel rack in the show window, and each panel represents a particular class of merchandise carried by the firm, with some catchy printed suggestion and a sample of the article, be it tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, piper, etc. There are 36 panels in the window.

Some scheme, and it attracts attention and creates comment. PIENZAK SELLS DYE WORKS John has disposed of the City Dye Works property to C. D.

PRICE OF SUGAR BOOSTED IN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION Salt Lake City The Utah-Idaho Sugar company, largest producer in the inter-mountain region, has announced an increase in their price of refined sugar from a 13-cent basis to 22.75 cents per pound. This has caused a jump in retail prices of beet sugar here from 16 cents to 28 cents per pound to the consumer. The company has declined to state the reason for the advance. Sam Watkins of El Paso was a Deming visitor the latter part of the week.

SPRING FESTIVAL GIVEN BY KINDERGARTEN AT ARMORY A large number of school patrons enjoyed the splendid spring festival exercises given by the children of the kindergarten, under the direction of Miss Herrick and Miss Merrill The armory was very tastefully decorated in green boughs, and the children were dressed in crepe paper costumes representing the different flowers.

This was the regular weekly meeting of this club, but on account of the husbands cf the lady members being entertained also the party was given in the evening instead of the afternoon as heretofore. A large number of ranchmen and their wives enjoyed the Gibson hospitality.

War Department to Retain Fort Bayard That Fort Bayard will be retained by the war department as a general army hospital, resulting in its being made the largest institution of its kind in the country for the treatment of soldiers afflicted with tuberculosis, is the latest information, from an authoritative but unofficial source, received in Silver City the past week, says the Independent. It is known that the war department is now reconsidering its final decision as to the future of the Fort Bayard hospital, as a result of Hie recent inspections by Major General John L. Chamberlain, followed by a very thorough inspection Wednesday and Thursday of the past week by Colonel Roger Brooke, of the surgeon generals office at Washington. The inspection by Colonel Brooke, who was formerly stationed at Fort Bayard, leaving there in 1919, and who, it is -known, was one of those strongly in favor of the army relinquishing control of the hospital, is believed to have had the effect of materially altering his opinion of the hospital. Colonel Brooke was surprised, not to say amazed, at the wonderful changes that had taken place.

Instead of number of dilapidated buildings, such as were there three years ago, he found Fort Bayard had been almost entirely rebuilt, with a number of extensive improvements and additions that had modernized the hospital. But by far the most impressive thing he found while at Fort Bayard was the fine weather prevailing, compared with that at Denver, where he had been for 10 days previously, during which a blizzard and bitterly cold weathep prevailed. While Colonel Brooke made no statement for publication, those who talked with the officer are confident he will carry a report back to the surgeon general and the secretary of war that will corroborate tlj very flattering report previously submitted by Major General Chamberlain. It is no secret that the governments eastern hospital for tubercular soldiers at Oteen, N. has failed to make good and that conditions there are so unsatisfactory that it may be abandoned entirely, within a short time.

It is rumored that the war department 'may now 'decide to turn the extensive Denver army hospital over to the United States Public Health service, and concentrate all of its efforts for the care and treatment of tubercular soldiers at Fort Bayard. If the- latter course' is followed, estimates place -cost of necessary enlargements 2nd improvements of a permanent character at from $890,000 to $1,000,000. These would of necessity include the extension of the Santa Fe railroad from Bayard Station into Fort Bayard, a distance of about four and a half miles. The above report in a measure refutes the rumors that Deming was liable to lose the hospital now being conducted by the United States Public Health service. It had been considered by the department at Washington to remove the patients from here to Fort Bayard during the summer, but still maintain the hospital here for the winter patients.

It is also known that the department has appropriated $20,000 for improvements to be mad here, and that there is a bill being introduced by the New Mexico congressman for an appropriation of $100,000 for final improvements on the buildings and equipment. WINDOW DISPLAYS OF LOCAL MERCHANTS VERY ALLURING The summer styles of gents and ladies wearing apparel that is so artistically displayed in all the windows of oar merchants drives away the thoughts of the high cost of living, and draws the elusive dollar from the pockets of the purchasing public. The styles are simply alluring, and even the editor, as he peers longingly at the show windows, feels that he would like te dress neat and cool. Senior Class Play at the Majestic' Tonight The Senior class of the high school will give their class play tonight at the Majestic theatre. The play is a comedy and is well written, the title being Why Smith Left Home, and from the title itself it can be assumed that it win interest the audience at once.

The pupils taking part in the piay have worked hard to master their parts, and knowing that Die Deming schools have some very good talent it is assumed that those who attend will be entertained to the limit. From the way the advance sales are being made there will be standing room only. ALLEGED BOOTLEGGER HELD TO GRAND JURY Revenue Inspector Walter Sproat returned Wednesday night from Silver City, where he represented the government in a case against Ben Alva, an alleged bootlegger of Hurley, charged with having liquor in possession, transporting and having same for sale. It will be remembered that on April 6th, Fussell, a soldier; Kemp, a garage man, and Titus, belonging to the Red Cross personnel, all of Silver City, went over to Hurley and purchased two quarts of tequila, which they immediately consumed, and this resulted in the death of Titus about an hour and a half later. In the east, just tried before U.

S. Commissioner Don Lusk, the defendant, Alva, was represented by Attorney W. B. Walton, and Alva was bound over to await the action of the federal $rand jury at Santa Fe in October, his bond being fixed at $1000. DOSTER CASE BEING HEARD TRIAL OF WOMAN IN DISTRICT COURT ON MURDER CHARGE AROUSES MUCH INTEREST The empaneling of the jury to try Mrs.

Maud Doster, charged with the murder of Capt. Wade Doster, med-icai corps, at Columbus last month, was completed Thursday morning and the taking of testimony commenced. As we are going to press John Doster, a brother of the late army officer, residing at Pasadena, Cal, is on the stand. Judge Frank Doster, also a resident of Pasadent, is present at the trial and will testify. The following men were accepted as jurors: Harry Lester, T.

J. Clark Roy Emery, J. E. Sampsel, J. A.

Martin, E. Weaver, W. J. Berry, E. Connolly, J.

F. Wilson, William Allbee, A. Huxable and I L. Gas- kill. Judge Raymond R.

Ryan is presiding, District Attorney J. S. Vaught represents the state, and R. F. Hamilton, assisted by Fred Sherman, represents the deefndant.

Since the killing Mrs. Doster has been confined in the army hospital at Columbus, but has now completely recovered from the self-inflicted wound she received at the time of the shooting. The trial has aroused great public interest and the court room is crowded with spectators, the audience in large measure consisting of women. Manager Wilcox of the Majestic theatre informs us that he has an option on a production from the First National Finn entitled River End, but that he is anticipating hearing regarding some pictures that are just now being finished and that he wants to get the first showing of one of these pictures i jr the benefit of the library association. DIAL-WILLIAMS FORM SYNDICATE-LEASE Haskell Dial and an old schoolmate.

Commander E. H. Williams of the United States navy, have purchased a five-acre lease in the Homer, oil field and propose selling small interests in this lease through a syndicate consisting of 400 units at $10 each. The lease is located in the same township and range in the Homer field in which the big gushers have come in, making the leaseholders rich. It will be the object cf the syndicate to let a drilling contract on the lease on a 50-60 basis, the drilling company bearing all the expense of putting down the well and sharing the production equally with the leaseholders.

Wells are being drilled all around this acreage, and if any one of them should get any production immediate drilling of this acreage is assured. Sales will be handled through the Deming Oil Exchange, and if you have any oil stocks with which you are dissatisfied, if they have any market value whatever, the brokerage connections of the Exchange will enable them to effect a trade on them for units in this syndicate, allowing you the highest possible price for your stock in the transfer. Development in the Louisiana field has been slow on account of weather conditions which have resulted in almost impassable roads, but with the coming of spring and summer weather the roads are drying out and development is now going forward with a rush. The value of an oil lease, which is the basis of all oil development and the foundation of many an oil fortune is well known to the oil man. The owner of a lease is sole owner of tho investment, and can handle it as he desires.

Messrs. Dial and Williams believe their lease well situated and to hold the promise of big things. INTERESTING BASEBALL SEASON IN PROSPECT With the advent of spring, baseball enthusiasts of the town are resurrecting their favorite sport and some rood teams have been organized and already have had some exciting contests on the diamond just in the rear of the old base hospital on West Pine. The different teams have spent considerable time and money in putting this diamond in first class shape and have installed a number of comfortable benches and a good back stop for the convenience and safety of the rooters. The teams of the high school, Nordhsus, Murray Layne and the firemen have already had seme good games, and an official schedule will doubtless be announced a little later in the season.

It is probable that the firemen will have an all-star team, as they will be allowed to sign on players from all sections of the town and it is hoped that they will arrange for games with other towns before the season is over. HATTEN, PHOTOGRAPHER, REARRANGES HIS PLANS George Hatten had expected to open his Silver City studio last Monday, but at the last moment his assistant, who was to look after the Deming business, informed him that she was leaving that day for California. He will now remain in Deming until next Tuesday, at which time he will have arranged for the keeping open of the Deming studio, and will leave for Silver City to look after that end of the business. On the last page of The Headlight there is an advertisement for the auction sale of dairy cattle, to which we which we wish to call your attention.

VISITS COLUMBUS A. A. Terr.ke went to Columbus on Wednesday to attend a chamber of commerce meeting at which plans were formulated for the launching cf the Salvation Army drive in that city from May 12th to 20th.

From all indications, Columbus is preparing to assist the Salvation Army workers in the fullest degree. THESE ARE GLORIOUS NIGHTS It is seldom that The Headlight is used as the medium for registering a kick, but several of our friends and subscribers have requested us to call the attention of the proper authorities to the nuisance of dog serenades winch have been making night hideous in the west end of town for the past week. It has been suggested that a clause be added to hunting licenses making it permissible to retaliate for loss of sleep by placing a few well directed charges of buckshot in the center of the howling packs of canines. DELIGHTFUL PARTY fOtf MI38 NOSSA MAUD WtEED One of the most enjoyable parties of the season was given by Mrs.

Several tables of bridge were played during the evening, Professor Wheatley making the high score for the gentlemen and Mrs. E.

D. Martin for the ladies. After the games a bountiful supper was served to the guests by Mrs. Steed. OUR OIL WELL We note with some amusement the announcement of Editor Kilgore in the Columbus Courier of the promising indications of oil in the Florida well, which he states is located some 30 miles north of Columbus.

The geographical location of Deming, as county seat of Luna, and the immediate proximity of this well, to which we have been accustomed to refer as Demings oil well, apparently means nothing in the young life of our esteemed contemporary. HENRY HALL IS PROUD PAPA Henry Hall, at the Deming National Bank, is receiving the congratulations of friends on the arrival of a husky son and heir at the Ladies Hospital Wednesday morning. Dr. J. G.

Moir, tho attending physician, is authority for the statement that the young man is the largest baby boy who has tret arrived in Deming, young Hall tipping the scales at 12 pounds. It is almost superfluous to make this announcement in The Headlight, as Henry has confidentially told all his friends of his proud acquisition, one man escaping th news on account cf being laid up at home with rheumatism. PROGRESS BEING MADE ON BANK OF DEMING BUILDING After a brief delay, caused by the non-arrival of the plate glass for the front on the Bank cf Deming building, work has again been resumed. Tho interior work is now in progress, and it is expected it will take at least a month yet before the finishing touches and the boys get moved into their new quarters for active business. PARENTS VISITING DAY VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT A large number of school patrons accepted the invitation of Superintendent Martin to visit the schools last Tuesday, and were amply repaid for the time taken from business and household duties in making an inspection of our educational institutions.

Some of the visitors spent the entire day at the schools and went into the present system in great detail Expressions of gratification and praise have been heard on all sides for the up-to-the-minute methods of Professor Martin and his able corps of assistants in giving Deming the reputation, of having the best schools in th. state.

Clyde Earl Ely, whom The Headlight last week reported as intending to go over to Arizona to file on a soldiers homestead, came In Saturday and told us Ahat we could say for him that he was not going, as he had received a telegram that the proposition did not -look so rosy, and that he would lay off that section of the country.

We don't see why anyone who knows as much about the Mimbres valley as Ely does, would want to leave it. There is equally as good land to file on. DACK FROM TOYAH J. N. Overhcleer is in the city a few days visiting his family, and will return to ioyah, where he is interested in some oil land acreage.
