Hill Ranch Tragedy and Local News From Hidalgo County
A 10 year old boy, W P Hill, was injured when a wheel ran over him on a Hill ranch truck south of town. He was rushed to DeMoss hospital for surgery and is improving. Also noted are drought era remarks, road work prep by Ted Brown, a fire destroying the O K grocery building, and social visits in Lordsburg. A Juarez Chihuahua highway celebration is planned for September 16 tied to Mexican Independence Day. Community events include a Christian church picnic hosted by Mr and Mrs Ownby and a talk by John J Dempsey on cattle and water issues in Hidalgo and Southwest New Mexico. Historical items cover the 1937 Lordsburg Hidalgo Library dedication with speeches by Willard Holt and others, plus local governance and development notes.
