PRIMROSE'S MEN
Citizen Redstone Now Takes Proprietary
Interest in Them.
What He Says About the Number of
People That VIII March Into
Washin Gton.

Yesterday the headquarters of Coxey's
commonweal army, Good Roads Associa-
ton, &C., at Rhecabite Hall, was closed as
tightly as a tomb. From early morning
until late in the afternoon resounding
knocks upon the doors evoked only hollow
echoes. Citizen Redstone was nowhere
around, nor were his leutenants, but this
morning all was changed. The hail was
open, very much open, and there was a
fringe of humanity around the room in
various postures Of easy incidence. 1t was
composed almost entirely of Capt Prim-
rose and the forty men who accompanied
him to the city to become guests Of the
police for forty hours previous to their re-
lease from custody by Judge Kimball.
Capt. Primrose and his men were read
ing papers Of populistic principles or chat
ting together when The Star man entered.
In reply to the question whether he and his
companions had yet been recruited into Mr..
Coxey's commonweal, Capt. Primrose re-
piled dmbIgUousiy:
mo. not yet. We are being excellently
well treated" he further remarked, when
asked how his party was getting along.
Mr.. Redstone's Interest.
Citizen RedstOne came in at this juncture
and waved his hand proudly toward the
Primrose league
DO they look like tramps?" he inquired,
admringly. rs anything to be feared from
men of that character?'
His proprietary interest in the men was
so evident that the reporter reminded him
that he had absolutely denied them when
they were arrested on Saturday; that he had
not gone near them on Sunday, when they
needed succor and food, and that he was not
present at their trial yesterday bat bad
waited until all the excitement of their COM
ing and its possible bad results passed by
before recognizing their right to consiiera-
ton. The citizen explained that they had
presented no credentials TO him on Satur-
day, despite the fact that they couldn't have
done so, II they had possessed such articles,
because Of their arrest, and that he didn't
visit them Sunday because he didn't know
where they We're, and that he WAS not pres
ent at the trial yesterday because he had a
case of his own in another court, at all of
which several of the PrimrosoS smiled sig
niicantly, and one of them gave a porten-
tous wink that completely disarranged his
eyebrow.
Citizen Redstone glowingly pictured the
flood of CoXeyites which would overflow the
national capital on May /.

A STORY I~6FFARmERs.
Illustrating Our Present Financial
system.

There was once a community OF farm
ers engaged 10 raising hogs. For years
they prospered, having plenty Of corn
ground to raise hogs and some Alfalfa
ground on which they fed them. With
the two kinds Of feed they kept their
hogs fat, happy and %contentedj not only
the hogs, but themselves,
There grew up among them a new
school OF political economists, who said
that they could do better by feeding Rl-
together on alfalfa. Those Of the farm
ers who had more Of alfalfa ground,
adopted the plan, and corn became a
drug. 80 that the Economists" p~rospered
while the poor hogs starved. AS the
supply Of alfalfa wal too limited, the
farmers issued their notes OF bonda, bear
ing interest, with which 10 buy alfalfa
from the others, the political economists
furnishing the money. Their notes be-
came due and required the issuing OF
more bondstO take up the old Ones One
by one the farmers OF the once great and
prosperous community adopted the same
policy, permitting their own ground to
grow up 10 weedar while their corn cribs
were bursting with corn, In sight OF the
starving and begging swine. IL was not
considered aristOcratic to feed corn, by
the self made economic teachers" who
grew richer from the accruing and in
creasinR interest. They controlled all
OF the large papers in order 10 keep down
enterprise. All classes OF people need
ing bog product began to look around
for the cause Of the depression. First
one cause was thought TO DO right, and
then another and another, until a few Of
the most intelligent claimed that moth
ing but the Q OF both kinds OF feed
would bring prosperity and fat and plen-
~ among the poor swine. These same
intelligent individuals were called "corn
crankR," lunatIcs, ETC., by the subsidized
ones OF the aristocracy, but they were
not 70 be put dOwhl They started pa
pers Of their Owuin,laYor OF the common
herd, which put en- 10 thinking, and while
the starving herd win DO kept in check
for a while by their friendly papers, they
are getting hungrier and wilder all the
time, and We wouldn't be ourprised 10
see them tear down the cribs and help
themselves 10 the boarded corn. Being
the natural friend Of the common herd,
we think the time rs coming when they
will get their eyes opened and commence
feeding both kinds OF feed, weed oul

On last Friday morning the shocking
Intelligence that David Abraham was
dend was passed from hp 70 lip among
our citizens. Mr.. Abraham was a man
Of robust constitution and until the hour
Of bis death no diseago was known 10 be
lurking m his system. He made no
complaint Of disorder or ipconvenien oe.
until he was stricken with acute pains
In the region Of the heart q few hours
before he breathed his last. On Thues
day afternoon he was upon the streets
exchanging kindly greetings with bis
friends, ate a hearty supper and retired
~ bis usual hour. Before going to bed
no wever, he complained OF pain in his
chest and Mrs. Abraham at once made
a mustard plaster and applied Il TO the
seat Of his distress. He was Immediate

again disturbed until about 12:45 when
he aroused Mrs, Abraham, who got up
quickly and discovered that her hus-
band was in a very critical condition.
She applied the usual HOUSEHOLD renee
dies, but without avail. She then call.
ed Mrs. Burnstein, a daughter visiting
the family, and started for DR.. Williams.
He was not at his Office but through the

diately made preparations and drove 10
the scene Of the tragedy. The report
WaB correct They found the bodies OF
two unknown MexicaEs with bullet
wounds indicating that they had been
murdered. However, the mystery sur
rounding their death was soon cleared
up. w. II. and I. l. Clark, goat ranch
men who live IN the immediate vicinity,
confessed to the killing.
A jury was ~impaneled by the coroner
who rendered a verdict 10 the effect that
the men "came TO their death by reason
Of gun shot wounds inflicted by the hands
OF W. II. and T. l. Clark, on the 9th day
Of March, 1894" The Clark boys were
present at the inquest. They were ar
raigned before Judge Lincoln on a charge
Of murder, and given preliminary hear
ing. They were the only witnesses who
testified In the case. They said the kill
ing was 10 self deiensel that they remon-
strated with the Mexicans for killing

Miss NJ. X Koehler visited the AbOla-
da Ranch last Friday, returning Sunday
afternoon. The objectof her search was
to explore the ancient ruins in that
neighborhood, and with a party OF friends
she opened up one of their houses. The
walls we're found to be OF stone regular
ly laid in a kind OF mortar or cement.
After digging TO a depth of eve or six
feet a floor Of this same cement was en-
countered and beneath this wa found a
skeleton, or rather a part Of one. The
ribs were complete and IN aposition indi-
eating that the body had been buried in
a sitting posture. The bones Of one leg
and foot we're complete, also other parts
OF the skeleton. No skull was found.
Close to the foot was found a part of
what hp@ evidently been an anklet OF a
material resembling ivory, and also a lot
Of beads.
Perhaps one OF the most interesting
things found in the house was a large
stone weighing about % lbs carefully
shoothed Off on two sides and having a
round hole in the center. 1t was stand
ing on end and its use could only be con-
jectured.
The ruins wherein this skeleton was
found are generally referred to as the
Aztec. But while this country was oc-
cupied from the seventh 10 the twelfth
century by the Toltecs, IL may be that
these remains are those OF one Of that
long extinct rae The Aztecs succeeded
the Toltecs in the twelfth century and
in turn we're driven from the country
during the invasion Of Cortez 10 1913.
