A FIERCE DUEL.
Two Mexican Rivals Fight With
StilIettOs. -


From the Chicago Blade.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Oct. GOV.
Victoriano Velasco and Espinoro
Remirez, two young Mexican gallants
of this city, have for some time been
paying their respects to the same
spanish senOrita. She is hand
some young lady, but refused to en-
courage one sutton more than the
other. Her smiles were as sweet 70
Victoriano as to Espinoro, and she
thought each was a very nice young
man indeed.
When pressed to decide one way or
the other, she intimated that 1t was
quite impossible, and besides, she
said, two suitOrs were fiattering to
her vanity. Since the maiden's heart
and hand was evidently not to be
won by either of the two seniors I'M
less the other was out of the way, the
two rivals decided to settle the mat
ter by duel to the death.
They chose q small room in an I'M
occupied hotel in the Mexican quarter
for the scene of the Combas. They
went there alone at midnight, and
stripping to the skin, began the battle,
ohCu using lOuR, sudEp SJllobJO
The hand to hand fight went on with
terrible vindictiveness, and the
knives kissed through the air in a
incessant flash of steel.
Both the com batants were unusu-
ally powerful men, and their fight
ing powers We're strengthened by the
fierce determination TO win the beau
tiful senorita.
They had been fighting for some
time when the attention of police
man was attracted TO the place by a
noise. He forced 81 entrance and
found both men in a terrible condi-
ton. Each was covered with blood,
which was flowing from many cuts.
Bnt still they fought, while the blood
almost blinded them, and their arms
could scarcely WELD the deadly
| knives. 1t was with the utmost
difficulty that the officer was able to
| seperate the two desperate lovers.
They were finally taken to the hos
pitsl, each glazing impotent rage at
the other. They will probably both
| die.

A Missouri Preachers Prayer.

A Macon, Mo-, minister has some
erring lambs of the flock that wander
off on Sunday excursions occasional
ly. This is from his prayer IN re
cent service: 80, Lord, we pray that
the excursion train goi ng east on the
Hannibal & st. Joseph railroad this
morning, may not run off the track
and kill auy church members that
may be on board. Oh urch members
on Sunday excursions are not in con.
dition to die; and in addition to this
it is embarrassing to a munster to Of
ticiate at the funeral of a member OF
the church who has been killed on
Sunday excursions. Keep the train
on the track and preserve 1t from any
calamity, that all church members
among the excursionists may have an
opportunity for repentance; that their
sins may be forgiven for Cnrlst's
sake.n

Graphic mine, is in the city on visit. He
says the mining interests ofSocorro county
have not been so prosperous in seven
years as now, and it is his opinion that
the mining fraternity generally is feeling
pretty good over the outlook, because OF
MAJOR McKinley's recent victory. Mr..
Patterson says the Graphic, Kelly, Cav
ern, Ida Hill, Grand Tower and Hard
scrabble mines are all being worked at
Kelly and Welding good returns. The
Graphic is shipping 1000 tons month
which is smelted at the Socorro WORKS.
1t is fact, said Mr.. Patterson, that the
Rio Grsnde smelter has more demand for
the smelling Of ores than it can possibly
handle, and it is an open secret that the
works there are to be materially enlarged.
The Graphic is now shipping more ore
than any other mine in the territory and
will ere long further increase its yield.
| Mr.. Patterson is here to confer with Col
Shelby, his partner, concerning the
erection of concentration at the Graphic

The Athletic clubs entertainment prom
Uses to be the best amateur performance
given in this city for years. The cast is
of the best local talent. Mr.. Walter
Owen, professional actor and gentle
man of much experience in that line
assures the club that the play, "The Mes
senger," will be presented in very
creditable manner and that the cast is
superior to any of the troupes who have
visited us yet this season. The people Of
Santa Fe should patronize this under
taking in very liberal way, as the club
intends to produce several other plays
during the winter if this one is success.
1t will be presented at the court house
Monday evening next at 8 O'Clock. The
box sheet may be seen at Abe F. Spiegel-
berg's.

AMONG THE RAILROADS.
President jeffrey Coming Next Week
Change of Time-New Projects and
Newsy Notes.

The Santa Fe company has this week
placed surveying corps in the field es-
tablshing the grade for its proposed new
line in Arizona to connect the A. & p.
with Phoenix and Prescott. r. B. Burns,
chief engineer of the A. & 2. line, is in
charge of the work at Prescott.
A new time schedule goes into effect on
the A., 7. & S. F. about the 18th of the
month. What the changes are to be can
not yet be stated, but it is deemed posi-
bic that the Compromised Rocky noun
tain local flyer will be inaugurated at
that time between Colorado and New
Mexico points.
With surveyors running new railway
lines into central New Mexico from Trim
idad and Durango, and party of narrow
gauge prospectors doing south Santa Fe
county, 1t would seem that railroad build
ing will be quite the fashion in this terri
tory before another year rolls around.
The mountain roads have caught the
rapid transit fever. The last schedule
just adopted across Colorado by the Rio
Grande and Midland reduces the time
between Denver and Salt Lake four hours.
The running tine between Denver and
Grand junction, including stops, is TWEEN
ty-five and half miles an honr, and
between Grand Junction and Ogden over
the Rio Grande Western is twenty.seven
and half miles an hour, including stops
The time between stations will, of course
be much faster, and if allowance is made
for the mountain climbs, where moi
more than fifteen to twenty miles an
hour can be made, it will be seen that
much of the track will be travelled at the
rate of forty or fifty miles an hour.
President Jeffrey, of the D. & R. G.,
left Denver day before yesterday to com.
plete his official inspection OF the narrow
guage line and is now en- route to Durango
where he will meet Mr.. Otto Mears and
with him go over the completed portion
of the Rio Grande Southern road which
Mr.. Mears is building northwest to con.
nection with the Grand junction line at
Rico. A telegram from Mr.. J. j. Burns,
superintendent of transportation, an
nounces that President Jeffrey will visit
Santa Fe early next week, the exact date
to be announced later. There may be a
great deal in this trip of Mr.. jeffrey
for Santa Fe and citizens should take
every advantage of the occasion to make
his visit pleasant one and talk railway
extension and the resources of Santa Fe
county for all they are worth.

f. n, Reaser,s Mishap.

Mr.. E. N. Reaser met with serious
accident last night. During the absence
OF his wife in the east he occupies room
at his business house. Last night about
9 O'Clock, as he was making his usual
inspection of the premises before retiring,
he fell through trap door in the rear
Of the building, the door of which had
been left open by one OF the employees
through mistake. There was no stairway
leading below and Mr.. Reaser fell about
eight feet, fracturing his left collar bone,
cutting his head and more or less injuring
his whole left side. He laid there, scarce
ly conscious, for several hours, and sew
eral times made an effort to crawl to the
basement door, but was scarcely able to
move, suffering as he was also from a
disabled leg. At about 4 O'Clock this
morning one of the policemen on the
night watch heard groans as he passed
the building, and upon investigation dis
covered Mr. Reaser's unfortunate predica-
ment and rescued him, calling help and
assisting him to his room. DR.. Harroun
was called and adjusted the fractured
collar-bone and dressed his other wounds
1t is possible that there have been some
internal injuries, but the extent of these
can now not be fully determined. This
afternoon Mr.. Reaser is resting very com
fortably. The many friends of the gentle
man who appreciate his worth as man
his grit and ability as merchant
and his enterprise as citizen, are looking
attentivey after his comfort in the ab
sence OF Mrs. Reaser.

Distinguished Churchmen.

The invitation which Archbishop Sal
pointe has received calling him to partici-
pate in the celebration of the golden
jubilee anniversary of Archbishop Ken
drick, Of St, Louis, is souvenier which his
grace will forever cherish.
The outer leaves of the invitation, the
size of which is about Axe inches, are of
cream colored celluloid and the four inner
leaves are on heavy gold paper. The
first leaf shows picture of DR.. Kendrick
printed in purple and surrounded by a
gold wreath. On the interior pages,
printed in black upon gold back ground,
is the invitation, the date of the birth,
ordination, etc., of the good Father Ken
drick. The golden jubilee celebrates his
50th year in the archbishopric and it will
take place on December 10. The most
Rev. Peter Richard Kendrick, D. D., was
born in Dublin, Ireland, August II, 1906.
He is now So years old, but hale and
hearty. He came to st. Louis in 1882,
when the present great city was but little
more than frontier village, and he is
perhaps the Oldest living resident of the
city. After the religious ceremonies the
jubilee will close with banquet at the
Lindell hotel at which there will be pres
ent, among others, Archbishop Salpointe,
and DR.. Chappelle, coadjutor archbishop
of Santa Fe; Bishop Matz, of Denver;

The order which has been issued for the
transfer of old Fort Marcy to the interior
department, with view OF its sale, has
been received with great satisfaction by
the people of Santa Fe. The order also
suggests the progress which has been
made in the west. When Fort Marcy
was established, New Mexico was con-
quered province and the frontier OF the
republic rested on the Mississippi. Its
abandonment is indicative of the changes
which have been effected-of railroads
and telegraphs, of settlement and civiliza,
ton, of the growth OF the American senti-
ment in New Mexico, of the new states
which have been admitted to the union,
and of the splendid future which awaits
the country which was a desert when
Kearney completed his triumphant march
and planted his cannon above the ancient
and then far distant city OF the Holy Faith
on the site of which was Fort Marcy

A BUSINESS MANS VIEWS.
Generating Electricity by Water-Power
Utility of the Santa Fe Canon
Hint to the Board of
Trade,

A citizen who is noted for his level
headed ideas on business matters made
the observation yesterday that the time
would come when Santa Fe would occupy
an important rank as manufacturing
city. Electricity is the power of the
future, gentlemen" said he to a group of
listeners, "and right here in the Santa Fe
canon may be established plant for
generating this force by the utilization OF
water power which will supply any num-
Der of manufacturing institutions"
The idea is rather new one as applied
to this locality, and publicity OF it Is
deemed timely in that it may serve to
attract the attention of business men to
the subject.
1t is worth while thinking over. There
is no uouOt of the feasibility OF the sug-
gestlon. At almost any point between
the water works reservoir and monument
rock dams can be placed in the canon
that would provide water fall OF from
forty to seventy feet, and such falls can
be made to generate electricity and dis
tribute it over wires to any portion OF the
city for mechanical purposes at the mini
mum OF cost.
When it comes to raw material SAINTS
Fe and vicinity can supply multitude Of
articles that can be worked up by manu-
factories. Such electric power dams are
now in successful operation at Austin
Texas, ind Ogden City, Utah, and i
wouldn'C be bad idea for the Board o
Trade to take up this suggestion and ap
point committee to correspond with thu
Austin and Ogden parties having exper
fence in this matter with view to making
an estimate of Santa FEES possibilities il
the same line. The publication of such
report as it seems possible to make unde
the circumstances and the circulation o
such report among the manufacturers VIII
are now seeking locations in the south
west because of the reciprocity negotla
tons with the great consuming territor
south of us, would unquestionably at
tract the attention OF very desirable elias
of business men.

ONCE IN TEN YEARS.
The Historic Little Horse Dance to Take
Place at Pueblo Cochiti To-nor-
row,

Los Caballitos, or 'the little horse"
dance OF ancient Aztec war fame, will be
honored at Pueblo Cochiti tomorrow with
much pomp, ceremony and merry-making
among the Indians of that and adjacent
puebos.
This is peculiar Indian feast, the true
origin of which is not known outside the
chiefs OF the Pueblo Cochti themselves
and its mysteries has been handed down
from generation to generation for over
800 years. 1t occurs once every ten
years, and always at Cochitl. The people
OF that village prize the event, as they do
no other feast day, and preparations for
its observance have this time, as usual,
been in progress for fully year.
| What the ceremonies in the 'estufa''
or secret council chamber, are, is mystery
to all save the participants, the head men
OF the village. Aftor the secret ceremonies
the day is celebrated by groups OF dancers
stately parades, eCt., one feature being
large number of painted warriors or
horseback who march on either side of s
b0ueSheu lhaSe lhsillOueu alt6r the 10rn

Skinny games, foot races, etc. The gov
ernor OF the pueblo came to Santa FL
yesterday to invite Rev. Jouvenceou anC
other citizens to be present. People from
points 100 miles distant will be there t
swell the crowd tomorrow. A great many
Santa Feans lett this morning to witness
this remarkable celebration. Cochit
pueblo is thirty-fve miles south of this
city, on the west bank of the Rio Grande
and is some five miles distant from Wal
lace, the nearest station on the A. T. 6
