All Hallow Eve, or Halloween, to use a
Scotch contraction, is the name popularity
given to the eve OF All Saints Day, and
therefore falls on the 31st OF October. The
eve is said to celebrate a festival of the an
eient Druids, dating pack long before the
Christian era.

for witches and other misunderstanding
people, and upon this night the fairies
always held a grand anniversary.
The sports are often prefaeed with a
sheet and pillow-case party, and after that
the first ceremony is the pulling of the
kale. If in the country, the guests go out,
hand-in-hand, with their eyes shut, and
pull the first they meet with. Its being
big or little. straight or crooked, is pro-
phetic of the size and shape of the future
husband or wife.
Roasting chestnuts is another f~ayorite
sport. Two nuts are named for a boy and
girl and placed upon a shovel or on top of
a stove. If in roasting they TEST contented-

Balls of fortune are also Projectors of

a name have been concealed. There are
an equal number of masculine and feminine
names, and when finished they are placed
in a shallow pan filed with water.
They will soon begin to rise and are then
taken ont, two at a time, those nearest
each other being selected. If the names
on the papers are of a man and woman,
they will marry. If two women bob up
together. they will die as spinsters. If

The wheat sowing is very backward
this Fall, and the acreage sown wiilnot, in
all likelihood, be as large as it ought to be
in his section. Observations in various
parts of the county show that whore far,

GET their wheat in early, the crop is in good
Condition and growing finely, but where
tbe sow ing is after the corn, potatoes and
tomatoes. it will be late for hundreds of
acres which were to have been seeded to
heat are not yet plowed and every day of
wet weather is against the work.

IN A VERY HOT BOX.
G. A. McQuade Arrested for Bigamy-
short in His Accounts with the
Narrow Gauge.

G. A. McQuade, temporary agent here
recently for the Santa Fe Southern and
D. & R. &. express, during Supt. John
sons absence, was arrested at Alamosa
yesterday on the charge of bigalny. AS
soon as he can be got at he will also be
arrested on the charge of embezzling funds
from the railroad and express company
while working here. McQuade came here
from Alamosa the last OF April, being
recommended to Supt. johnson as trust
worthy railroad man by several conductors
and station agents on the Rio Grande di-
vision of the narrow gauge. Mrs. Nc
Quade, rather fine looking brunette, &C.
companied him and remained till about ten
days prior to McQuade's departure, when
she returned TO Alamosa. When Supt
johnson checked up McQuade's accounts
on May 20 it was found that he was $3.50
behind in his cash. McQuade turned
over his salary voucher to MIR. Johnson
and thereby reduced his shortage to
$79.1S, which amount he promised to
make good at once if not prosecuted.
After his departure, however, several
very bold thefts for further small amounts
were discovered, and Mr.. johnson some
days ago made demand for immediate
settlement, McQuade then being at
Chama, acting as yard master for the D..
& r. q. road. Day before yesterday
McQuade had his thumb crushed of
while coupling cars and went to Antonito
for surgical attention. Upon his arrival
there he was met by warrant, sworn out
by former wife, charging him with big
amy. AT that moment, however, the train
pulled out for Alamoso and McQuade
boarded it and escaped. Information of his
presence on the train was wired to Ala
mosa and when the gay Lothario reached
Alamosa he was met by the sheriff, who
also had a warrant for him on the charge
of bigamy. He was taken into custody
and is having hearing there to-day.
The wife who was with him in Santa Fe
has relatives at La Veta, aud there re-
Gently married him. His first wife is an
eastern lady, whom he deserted two years
ago, and she has been haunting his trail
ever since. She is now in Alamosa and
Is accompanied by her father, who pro-
poses to give McQuade the full benefit o.
all the punishment the law provides fol
his rascality. To-day Supt. johnson
wired the authorities at Alamosa direct
ing them to arrest McQuade for his EN-
bezzlement here in case he was released
on bonds.

Derning note: There are large guam
titles of material here for the railroad
but no work is being done; and it seems
that something is very much out OF place
either with the company or the contrac-
tors. They are now on their last extern
sion for their concession, and it is almost
impossible for good and expe-
rienced men to complete it in time.
1t is understood that the Mexican
government has become disguised with
the pretensions and false representations
of this company and have decided to
grant no more extensions OF time to them.
In the mean time other parties are now
in Mexico quietly waiting for the last ex-
tension to expire, when they will take the
concession and complete the road.

brought much nearer Santa Fe than most
people imagine it WAS possible to secure.
The distance is scarcely seventeen miles
as Mr.. Knox figures 1t, and the fact that
considerable colony of farmers and pro
duce raisers could be induced to come here
from the Pecos and do their trading If this
trail were to receive attention, suggests
the propriety OF calling the attention OF
our business men to the subject. MIR,
Knox and his neighbors have been at
work for several weeks on the east slope
of the range improving this trail. At first
it was thought it could be used only Tor
horsemen, but by a little Improvement
along its whole length from the base OF
Lake Peak to the Tesuque, it is now be-
leved it could be made available Tor vehlc-.
les. If this can be done it will prove OF
no small benefit to Santa Fe. Mr.. Knox
alone makes from fifteen to twenty pounds
of butter daily at his place and he
says his neighbors would all come here
often if our business can be induced to
aid improving this new road. Let the
question be agitated and a detailed IN
spection made of the new ronte.
