The news received last Friday con-
corning the hanging of Joe Fowler at
Socorro, proved to be correct, much to
the satisfaction of this part of the
county. Fowler had been removed
from the hands of the safety committee
and placed in those of the sheriff and
the people feared from the careless
manner in which he was guarded that
his escape was only a matter of his own
choosing. Then too, there appeared to
be an organization among the friends
of the villain whose intention was to
liberate him were the guards vigilent
or otherwise. Therefore the citizens of
Socorro concluded that inasmuch as
Mr.. Fowler would havetO hang some
time to satisfy justice he might as well
90 at once and save expense. 1t was
reasoned that inasmuch as there was no
doubt of his guilt and it was either hang
or escape it was hardly worth while to
take the chances of the latter. Conse-
quently on Wednesday night of last
week a body of men comprising most
of the male citizens of SOc0rro assem-
bled and taking Fowler from his guards
hanged him to a tree neal by. The crlm'
inal fought like a tiger until overpow-
cred and then yelled murder, and acted
the part of the coward that he vas
Only a portion of his executioners were
masked. The body was cut down next
morning and shipped in a 1926 casket
to the home of his relatives IN Texas.
The only demonstration made by the
friends of the murderer was that of a
wild chap who on the following evening
got out on the plaza and called for the
Texas men to JOIN him in avenging
Fowler's death. The Texas men did not
respond and he dispersed. There is
not a newspaper of repute nor a justice
loving citizen yet heard from in this
territory whose judgment does not
sustain the citizens of Socorro in this
action. Some may regret but none
question its necessity.

Ojo Caliente post is really going to
be sold at public sale, and there was 40
canard about the report first circulated.
An advertisement of the sale has ap-
peared at least once in the Albuquer-
que journal. The sale will take place
at Las Cruces on the 9th day of this
month, and the property, exclusive of
the Chase building which will not be
sold, since it does not belong to the
government, must not bring less than
$4,000 cash in hand. Several parties
have appraised the hot springs and the
sum specified is that fixed upon it by
Andrew Kelly, and approved by Gen.
John NJ. Dunn, IA general agent Of the
Interior department who under guild
ances of Capt. Jack Crawford, of Fort
Craig, visited the reservation last
month. Gen. Dunn stated to Captain
Jack that Secretary Teller had been so
frequently importuned regarding the
sale of this reserve that he had con-
cluded it must be IN unusually valu-
able property and although certain
parties who wished to get hold of it
had represented that $1.25 per acre
was all that it should be expected to
bring, yet he wished to know the exact
truth concerning it and that he Gen.
DUNN had been specially dispatched to
report upon it. Ojo Caliente although
used for a military post never belonged
to the war department but is still an
Indian reservation. Hence its sale by
the interior department.

The basis of each one is a little lump of Para rubber, round, and weighing an ounce. Wound round this in every direction is worsted yarn. is wound on, the ball is dipped in rubber, then more yarn is wound on; then it is dipped again, and finally yet more is wound on, and then the cover is fitted over it. One ball affected by many professionals has thin skin of concrete midway be- tween the cover and the rubber. The winding of the yarn is done by girls. The best balls are covered with horseskin, be- cause it is strong and tough: Many of these ars sswsd with catgut, but in damp weather the catgut loosens, and therefore at such times those balls are used which are stitched with flax.

a shrewd Indian came aboard, and
spied the amateur photographer taking
groups on deck. Immediately he was
eager to be taken as well, and followed
the camera around, repeating, "I1ow
much SiWash %picture?" He was not
to be appeased by any statements about
the photographer doing his work for
his wv amusement, and pleaded SO
hard that the artist finally relented and
turned the camera upon HIM. The In
dian stiffened himself into the most
rigid attitude when directedto a corner
Of the dech, between two lifeboats. and
when the process was over he could
hardly be made to stir from his pose.
When we pressed HIM to tell us what
he wanted the picture for he chuckled
like any civilized swain, and confessed
the whole romantic story by the ma.
hogany blush that mantled his cheek.

The Property of the Dead Editor Goes
to the Widow-The Will Contested.

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The long expected
will of the late Wilbur T. Storey, pro-
prietor of the Times newspaper, was
filed in the probate court this morning.
1t gives the bulk Of the property to the
widow during her life, and appoints
her e%Xecutrix without bonds. In the
event Of an income exceeding $4,000
per annum. annuities Of $1,000 are Or
dered to be paid Mr.. Storey's brother
and sister. On the death of Mrs. Storey,
the estate is ODE divided among the
legal heirs according to law. Mrs. Sto-
rey is to manage the Times newspaper,
and is empoweredto sell it if she thinks
best. The validity of the will was at
tackled by Anson l.. Storey, elder broth
er Of the deceased, who asked to be ap-
pointed administrator of the estate, al
leging that Mr.. Storeyhad died without
leaving any will (thus indirectly disput-
ing the validity of the instrument just
before filed.) There was property, con-
sisting of real estate to the value of
100000. incumbered by debt of $780,
600, and personal property worth $780,
coo. The petition then went on to state
that there was an ante-nuptial con-
tract made between the deceased and
his wife, dated Dee. 1. 1874, and that
outside Of the rights given her therein,
she had no further claim upon the es-
tate. 1t was agreed between the attor-
neys on both sides, and the judge, that
the hearing of this petition for the ap-
pointment Of al administrator, and the
question of probating will should be
held Tuesday, Nov. II.
