Meeting Of the Penitentiary Board
Talk Of Charges-Official News
Notes Of the Day.

The board of penitentiary commits
sioners went into session at the Office OF
the institution at IL O'Clock this morning
There were present Messrs. H. H. Belts
president, N. B. Laughlin, secretary, Vim.
E. Dame, 0. A. Hadley, j. L. Lopez, Ro-
man A. Baca and Thos. McQuiston. At
the short morning hour session only
routine business received attention and
the board took recess for dinner, as
sembling again at 1:3O. At this after
Moons session some lively developments
are expected. 1t is said that W. B. Sloan
has filed charges of irregularities against
Supt. Bergman and these are to be dis
cussed with the probably result that the
matter will 60 over for one month in
order that Col. Bergman may have time
in which to reply to the charges, what
ever they may be.
Important changes are to be made at
Fort Logan, coincident to the establish
ment of Gen. McCook, at Denver. Two
new company barracks and four sets of
officers quarters are now being con-
structed. They are under contract to be
finished by May 1. This means the addi-
ton of 100 men to the garrison now
stationed at Fort Logan, but whence
these detachments are TO come only the
powers that be know. The buildings now
under course of erection are to cost $780,
600, and the company barracks are to be
models of their kind. Gen. McCook has
expressed desire to have two troops of
cavalry moved to Fort Logan.
Hon. A. B. Fall, who has been passing
several days with friends here, leaves
this evening for Las Cruces. To-
morrow he will be called upon
to decide mandamus proceeding
as to whether the law under which Silver
City was organized into an independent
school district has been repealed, and if
so, how should the school fund of the
county be pro rated in order that each
school district should get its proper
share.

will be found the full report of Gov.
Thornton to the secretary of the interior
on irrigation. The report is complete,
setting forth in fair manner the agri-
cultural advantages of the territory and
what it can be made with proper irriga-
tion.-San Juan Index.
Hon. Walter c. Hadley has at last been
discharged from performing the duties of
postmaster at Hadley postofice. He de-
clares that it is good deal more trouble
to "cut loose" from postoffice than to
get hold of it in the first place.
On petition of the complainant in the
case of Hon. s. B. Elkins, ex-secretary of
war, vs.. Carmen Arce, Hon. T. B. Catron
has been substituted MS attorney in place

VOICE FROM THE NORTH.
Capt. John Gray Writes Entertain
ingly from Spokane.

Everybody remembers Capt. John
Gray. Years ago he was partner of Fl.
B. Cartwright In the grocery business.
Afterwards he was deputy warden at the
penitentiary, and later he served as the
first marshal of the city of Santa Fe. He
is now located in Spokane, WASH, and
his street number is 1927 Main street,
where he is engaged in the commission
business. He writes Capt John T.
Forsha that he is in good health and
prospecting in business, but longs for
"the bright sunshine and tarry-decked
heavens of Santa Fe." He pathetically
adds: "We have fogs up here. You can
even smell and taste them.' Touching
politics he says: Spokane is Republican
and Santa Fe is not in it for boodling.
The city council here has stolen every
thing but the right-of-way for the street
cars, and that is in litigation. l see
many wanderers here whom I knew in
sunny New Mexico. Among the number
I may mention Old Jim Curry, at one
time in the penitentiary at Santa Fe,
and Jasper Thompson, who was sentenced
to hang at Socorro. Both are working

U. s. DISTRICT COURT.
Judge Seeds Enforcing the Rule That
Jurors Must Have Paid Taxes 49,
for 1892.


The United States district court met at
the federal building yesterday afternoon,
but as the venires for jurors had not
been returned, an adjournment immedi-
ately followed.
At the session this morning the petit
jury was completed, and it is hoped that
grand jury will be secured this after
noon.
1t appears that it has been customary
to regard persons as qualified for jury
service who had paid taxes at any time
in the past, but Judge Seeds holds that,
under the law, man can not serve on
the jury for 1894 who is delinquent in
his taxes for 1892. He is strictly enforc-
ing this construction of the law AMI re-
fuses to accept jurors who can not show
a tax receipt for the past year. Hence
the delay in starting in motion the ma
chinery of the federal court.

NATURAL GAS.
Another Important Element of Wealth
Opened in San Juan County.

Thursday morning the report reached
Aztec that natural gas had been struck
on the ranch of 8. Il. Blake, at Farming
ton, at depth of 2S0 feet. A pipe was
put down and the escaping gas confined
to small outlet. When match was
applied it burst into flame and has been
burning brightly ever since, which con-
clusively proves that 1t is connected with
large body of gas or it would soop have
burned out and vanished. The Aztec In
dex at hand to-day says:
Henry J. Arnold and Joe Prewitt, of
Durango, passed through town yesterday
morning en- route to the scene, having
been called there by letter announcing
the discovery. With natural gas, irriga-
cation, fruit orchards and artesian wells,
San Juan will become the banner county
in the new state of New Mexico"

and many friends of our popular post
master, Harry W. Lucas, says the Silver

weeks ago last Sunday to go to Albu-
querque to close mining deal in which
he and several Others we're interested.
He was expected back in two or three
days but has not yet returned, and his
whereabouts are unknown. The secret
societies to which he belongs have COM
municated with their lodges in New Mex
leo and Colorado, but have not been able
TO find him. He is known as an honest
man, an accurate official and as a man
who has charming family to which he is
devoted. Ttls feared he has aither been
stricken with temporary ftsof insanity
or that he has been murdered.

WATERS MAGIC WAND.
What 1t is Doing for Deming and
Southern New Mexico-Facts
that Generally Apply.

The last number of the Headlight con-
tanned an exhaustive and we'll written
seven column article on "What Water ia
Doing for Southern New Mexico and
Deming in Particular" The writer
dwells with especial pride and pleasure
upon the natural advantages of Deming
in soil, climate. and other resources, but
his detailed statements of fact and his
deductions therefrom apply with almost
equal force to every part OF New Mexico
that can be placed Under the magic touch
of water. q
The marvellous results of irrigation in
California and Colorado are given, and it
is shown that the soil and climate of New
Mexico are even better adapted to agri-
cultural and fruit growing purposes than
those of the states named. The fact that
New Mexico took the first premium at
the Worlds fair on wheat and the second
premium on oats is cited.
Speaking of the rich soil around Dem

Several cases of violation of the saloon
closing laws came up in the Police Court
yesterday morning. Thomas McHugh had
four cases against him. Between IL and u
o'clock Saturday ni0ht he was arrested on
two charges, selling after IL O'clock and
giving away liquor after IL o'clock. At the
police station he gave bond for his appear
ance and was released. few minutes after
midnight the same officers who had ar
rested him before again arrested him. This
time he was charged with selling on Sun
day and giving away liquor on Sunday. In
the Police Court he fined $40 and costs
for selling on Sunday and appealed TO the
Criminal Court The other cases against
him were dismissed. McHugh is the pro-
prietor of the saloon at the corner of Mary
land and California streets.

SAID HE WOULD OPEN
But THE MAYOR ASSURED HIM THE
LAW WOULD INTERFERE.
BrightwoOd Saloon Keeper Called
Down-License Revelations Prob
nbIe-AIabama-Str Bids.

Saloon keeper Lutz, Of Brightwood,
called on the Mayor yesterday and calmly
made the announcement that he did not
intend TO obey the law for the reason that
other saloon keepers did not obey IL.
Mayor Denny as calmly told him that he
would obey IL for the reason that he would
be compelled to do so by the city officers.
The saloon of which Lutz is the proprie-
tor is located on Rural street on the
BrightwOOd side. This street is the divid-
ing line between the two corporations.
Lutz. proceeding on the theory that the
city police had no jurisdiction within an
other Incorporated town. sold liquor on
Sunday in open violation of the law. Resi-
dents of the vicinity. both inside the cor
porate limits Of Indianapolis and Bright
wood. complained of the nuisance that
the Sunday patronage of the saloon caused.
Last Sunday superintendent Powell sent
a patrolman to watch the saloon and see
that no liquors were sold. The officer sue
ceeded in preventing sales and this brought
Lutz to the Mayors office yesterday.
Mayor Denny told him the saloon was too
close to the city limits to haggle about
territorial Jurisdiction. 1t was a violation
of a State law TO sell liquor on Sunday
and he would be fined if he did il no mat
ter by whom he was arrested.
1t is probable that the revocation OF sew
eral licenses will be recommended this
week and that the Mayor will take such
action. Most of the revocations hereto
fore have not been contested by the Saloon
Keepers Association because the license
had been transferred from the original
holder. The saloon keepers say that if the
city authorities attempt to revoke any
licenses not so transferred a fight will be
instituted in the courts to test the valid
ity of the revocation
