Gomery.
j. Alex Montgomery, the well
known guard at the Rock Island via
duct, left the city Monday under very
strange circumstances. He went
on.watch, as guard at the via
duct as usual. but when he went
OF watch he failed to 90 home.

Mr.. Montgomery left note all
dressed to +. +. Robbins, superin-
tendcnt of the Rock Island bridges.

not stating where he was going. The
note, Mr.. Robbins says, was very
queer on the whole, and was not of
much Importance.
Mrs. Montgomery was seen by an
ARGUS reporter this morning. and
stated that she was ut loss to know
why her husband left, but that of
late he had been very deeply inter-
csted in politics, and seemed to brood
over them. The family was not aware
of anything unusual in his actions.
and they are deeply grieved OYER his
mysterious conduct.
IL is true Mr.. Montgomery has
been very deeply interested in poll
ties. this together with private bust
ness affairs. have weighed upon his
mind to such an extent as to make
him Respondent.
Friends Noticed His strange Actions.
Now that Mr.. Montgomery ha.
acted SO peculiarly. friends who were
in tho habit of receiving pleasant
greetings from him while crossing
the bridges. recall that of late hi.
general demeanor has been changed,
and he seemed avcrse to conversing
with any one.

What fools these mortals be. Listen to
this from the Optic: ut was perhaps
news to Don Agapito Abeytia, sr,, to

been elected to the territorial council as

ries in his pocket the certificate of cleo
tion over A. c. Voorhees,, of Ration, the Re

While the New MEXICAN hopes and be-
lieves that the Democrats will mus
ter sufficient strength to organize the
lower house as we'll as the council Of the
next legislature, still, if such should not
be their good luck, this journal knows Of
none better qualified among the Repub-

Carr TO serve as speaker. On this
sub ject the Lordsburg Liberal says:
@t,, C,,, ,I..l
members of the house of the next New

fitted for the office of speaker than is the
Hon. d. p. Carr, representative from
Grant county. Col. Carr has had much
experience in legislative assemblies and
is well posted on all points of parlia-
mentary practice. He makes al ideal
presiding officer and the Legislature can
do no better than to elect him for that
important position"

A Noted Case Closed

In the case of the Territory vs.. Hippo
llto Armiio, charged with the murder O!
his wife, brought here on change OF
venue from Sierra county, the jury ac-
quilted the defendant. Armijo had a
narrow escape from hanging, and owes
his life to his able and devoted counsel
Judge A. B. Elliott, of Hillsboro. The
case was tried three times, the jury dis
agreed once, the second time he was
found guilty of murder in the first degree,
but his able and persistent attorney car
ried the case to the snpreme court and
had the finding of the jury reversed and
the case remanded for new trial. In
this. the third trial, he secured an acquit-
tai for his client. Considering the fact
that his client was poor Mexican, with
out dollar of this worlds measure of
wealth TO recompense Judge Elliott for
his time, services and money expended,
the case stands with few parallels rs an
instance of esprit de corps.-Silver City

Catholic church in the United States to-
day stood in false light. There was as
great mlsapprehension concerning it as
there was in England in the days of the
mo popery" riots IN London which were
led by Lord George Gordon. He spoke
of unjust attacks made on the Catholic
church by the A. P. A. and kindred anti
Roman Catholic organizations. He de-
cared the Catholic church was not op-
posed to the progress of civilization, was
not guilty of intolerance and was not in
favor of union of church and state.
