Bold Burglary.

Last Sunday night about IL o'clock
ONE one entered the postofice building
by forcing the door Of the Broadway
entrance open. The clerk at the news
stand went out just before IL o'clock and
was gone only about half an hour.
When he returned he attempted to un-
lock the door at the main entrance to
the postofice but the key did not work
well and it was some time before he got
in. He found the back door of the post
Office open. This door is secured by a
bolt aud cannot be opened from the out
side.
It Is supposed that the burglar heard
the clerk trying to unlock the front door
and hastily made his escape the back
way. He could have been in the build.
ing but a few minutes and did not have
time TO get much. Nothing has been
missed from the postofice and it is be-
lieved that the burglar did not have
time to get back there. He took the
money in the drawer at the news stand
and this is probably all that he secured
before he was alarmed by the return Of
the clerk.
The robber must have had much more
than ordinary boldness to have attempt.

Prof w. q. Wanng received a ino
specimen Of silver ore from the Mollie
Gibson mine, In Colorado, last week. The
Mollie Gibson is now producing silver
at a smaller cost than it has. ever before
been produced in this country, and no
other mine has such a large body Of rich
ore in sight. The mine paid nearly
100000 in dividends last year.
Dmmick, Laizure and Pronger
brought m a Shipment Of ore from their
Grey Eagle mine near Pinos Altos last
week. The ore will be reduced at Pu-
eblo
New ore bins have just been put up at
the Langston mine in the Pinos Altos
district and Miller and Watson are ship
ping ore from the mine TO the Bremen
mill here where It is being treated.
There are no idle men at Pinos Altos
now and the prospects Of that camp are
better than they have ever been before.
The mills here and at Pinos.A ALTOS are
crushing about $50 tons OF ore a day and
this will be increased to 200 tons as soon
as the Manhattan company gets to Ia
king out ore. No other camp 10 New
Mexico can boast Of mining operations
carried OF in such an extensive way.
Pref. Waring says that the contact in
Chloride Fiat is precisely the same as
that at the Mollie Gibson mine in Colo
RADIO. Perhaps a bonanza may yet be
discovered almost within the city limits
Of Silver City.
About thirty tons Of ore are being
shipped daily from Hanover. There is
very little demand for iron now on &C
count of the fact that none Of the smelt-
ers in the southwest are running to their
full capacity.
A car load of zinc ore was shipped
from Hanover yesterday and some other
small shipments will be made soon. J.
II. Bragaw is contemplating extensive
operations there in the zinc mines in the
near future, but the Mineral Point ZinC
Company which owns a number Of claims

A feasible route has been found from

not be long until the construction Of a

great deal to the miners Of that district.

Ed. Harrlson Murdered.

Last Friday afternoon as Ed Harrison
vas driving along the Fort Bayard road.
near the Cottonwoods, on his way to his
ranch about five miles north of Fort
Bayard, he was shot through the body.
He saw no one although the man who
did the deed could not have been more
than fifteen or twenty feet from him
when he fired the shot from a Winches-
ter rife. Although Harrison was shot
through the abdomen he succeed
ed in getting himself together and
started his team toward Fort Bayard.
After he had gone a short distance he
was met by a sewing maching agent from
this city. Harrison said that he was shot
and an examination proved that he had
been shot through from one side 10 the
other. Harrison was taken into the ma
chine wagon and brought 70 this place
and taken to the Grant County Charity
Hospital. Here he related how he hac
bad some trouble with a Mexican the
day before and that the Mexican had at
tackled him with a knife. Although he
did not see the man who shot him he be
lieved that this Mexican was the one.
AS soon as an examination OF the
wound was made il was found that
Harrison could not live. He died a few
hours after having been put in the hos
pitaL
The ground where the shooting wal
done has been thoroughly examined and
the trail Of the man who did the shoot
ing was found. From the place where
he shot Harrison be VENT few yards ant
stopped near some bushes. Here he re
moved the shell from his gun and ther
took a zig gag ours which was followed
for some distance but was finally lost.
Harrison was unmarried and had beer
living on a ranch above Fort Bayard fol
some years. He was frequently In tow
selling wood.

T.omnson ont ON Rond.

The preliminary examination of w.
Lee Thompson for the killing OF 1. l..
Aucheta took all of Monday and Tues
day of last week in the Justices court
here. A large number Of witnesses test
fled and the testimony was all taken
down by W. p, Baker, who came here
from Las Cruces for that purpose.
The Territory was represented by j. A.
Ancheta, and Thompson was represent
ed by James s.. Fielder. The witnesses
for the prosecution testified that they
we're all friends of Thompson, but they
we're certain that he fired the first shot.
The witnesses for the defence we're GER
tain that Ancheta fired the first shot.
Some of the witnesses for the Terrific
ry, on cross examination, were not so
positive that Thompson fired the first
shot. AS to the other points in the case,
there was not 50 much conflict OF testi-
mony. 1t appears that Thompson was
blowing and that Ancheta and others
came there to prevent him from doing
any further work. One Of the party
seized the horses reins and Thompson
started for a shotgun which he had neal
where he was blowing. Ancheta was on
horseback and started after him. Thomp-
son was returning with his gun when An
cheta met him and the shooting took
place. At the conclusion Of the testimo-
~, Justice Givens rendered the follow
ing decision:
"Well, gentlemen, there is a good
deal of different evidence; that is,
there is evidence that is various and a
good deal of it, in this case, and it is
hardfor a justice Of the peace TO judge
altogether the circumstances and n
thing and another that may be heard
in the evidence; so it is a hard matter
for me TO Judge what the judgment
should be in a CASE of this kind, where
there is various kinds Of evidence.
The evidence has been contradictory
on both sides all the way throughi 30
we think in this case, according TO the
evidence, that it will be our duty to
hold Mr.. Thompson 10 give bonds for
murder in the third degree and set
bail ut three thousand dollars, to
appear at the next term of court. II
the evidence vas not SO conflicting
and more certain, we might set the
bail somewhat higher. So we will
have to make the order to make Mr..
Thompson's bond IN the sum of three
thousand dollars, to be approved by
the sheriff Of Grant county, for him 10
appear at the next term Of the district
conrt."
Thompsos secured the bail and was
released.

Government Control Of Rnllrona..

Adler men than / have proved TO sat
~isfaction that under government care
not only could cheaper railroad accom-
mOdations be obtained, but better ones,
and the examples of Germany, Russia
and Australia have demonstrated that
It is as practicable for railroads to be
run by the government as it is to admin
istrate the mailing system or to handle
an army and navy. What difference
would there be between a navy yard and
a car shop? it mas been demonstrated
by these countries that. though the &C.
commodations are better and cheaper,
still a surplus remains, which flows back
to the people, and, what is more impor-
tant, that there is no possibility of rail
road strikes, and thus of a sudden in
corruption Of the circulation Of com
modities.
/ have endeavored to place only one
side Of the question in its proper light
viz, that new times require new forms
Of government, and that the functions
Of the government must constantly lie
changed so as to adapt themselves to the
needs of the people, which in their turn
are brought about by changing condi-
tons. If this n side of the question be
properly understood, all arguments and
objections against the naturalization Of
railroads must fall to the ground. This
one side Of the question once understood,
methods and means to ARRANGE and ac-
complish the naturalization of railroads
