In the Territorial supreme court
this morning something Of a sem
sation was developed when Dis
trict Attorney J. II. Crsit present
ed a mass Of papers, aiidavitg, sc,
charging I. D. Catron and Chas.
A. Spiess With violation Of their
duties as attorneys and obligations
as officers Of the court growing
out Of their conduct Of the case of
the Territory against the Borrego
gang, assassins Of Ex-Sherif
Frank Chavez. Accompanying
the statement made by the district
attorney, reviewing the case and
reciting the allegations charging
these attorneys with attempting to
buy off aud intimidats many wit
nesses on behalf Of the Territory

pers marked "exhibits," running

not read in open court, but were

A rRIFLE FLORlp. PERnAPs.

A very sensational and highly
colored story regarding the alleg-
ed duplicity and cunning Of II.
Hansberg while confined in the
Dona Ana county Jail, went the
rounds Of the Territorial press
some time ago. The story ran, in
effect, that Hansberg feigued Sc
we're suffering from corns and ask
ed the jailor to procure medicine
for his relief. He told the jailor
that he (Hansberg) had a formu-
Ia which he wished filed; that
the ingredients were powerful, but
effective, aud that they would ac-
complish the desired result. The
jailor accepted the apparently
g%uileless statement in good faith
and went to q drug store and pro-
cured the needed anfidote (?).
A short time following, Hansberg
expressed his gratitude to his ben
efactor and told him that the med
icine afforded him great relief, and
soon the corn subject was forgot
ten.
The guard, IN making his rounds
of inspection a few days later, dis.
covered a peculiar kind of grease.
as he thought, upon the bars Of
Hansberg's cell, but investigation
proved It to be a combination of
powerful acids, sufficiently strong
to dissolve iron bars. Hansberg's
cell was searched and it was found
that he had secreted a number Of
devices for liberating himself and
that he had proceeded so far in
his work that in a few days not
only himself but many others con-
fined in the jail would have gained
their liberty. Several of the bars
to his cell had been cut, by the
use of a saw made from a watch
spring. Hansberg denounces the
whole story as a sensational ca
nard.

on an equality with gold, IS that
the mints shall coin both metals
on private account as was the GUS
tom from the establishmeutof the
mint in 1892 up to 1873, subject
to changes for parting, alloy, &c.
At present the mints coin gold
on private account subject to GER
tain charges, but they coin silver
on government account, and
the government chooses to have
only a very limited quantity Of
the metal coined, as it prefers to
issue interest bearing bonds to
the gold syndicate, to coming le-
gal tender standard dollars with
which to pay its debts.
Silver men do not want the gov.
erument to buy an. ounce of silver,
though the gold press and speak
ers allege that they do. All they
ask is that the mints shall be used,
as the founders Of the govern
ment intended they should be and
as they were until the Infamous
Act of 1873 was placed on the
statutes. for the coinage Of gold
and silver for the public, charg-
ing reasonable rates for the serv.
ice. If every mint IN the United
States was run to its full capacity
the total coinage Of silver would
not much exceed one dollar per
capita for the population of the
United States; and the require
ments Of commerce demand that
at least that much money be add
ed annually to the circulating me-
dunn of the country. AS it is
now, especially in the agricultural
states, the products of which main
tain the balance of trade with for
eign countries in our favor, there
is not money enough in circula-
ton and enterprise is paralyzed.

SHORT TALKS on ADVERTISING.

Copyrighted by Charles Austin Batos)
People used to say: "Oh, 1 new
er pay any attention to advertise
ments; they never tell the truth"
Now it's different; people do read
advertisements, and they believe
them. Advertisers are becoming
more careful and more scrupulous-
ly truthful every day. 1 know a
firm of advertising agents who
also own a medicated soap. 1 said
"Is it really such a wonderful
thing, and do you take the care
you say you do in making it?''
The answe was: "Of course it is
a good thing. We have seen too
much of advertising to be fools
enough to spend money pushing
a poor article" Most all adver-
Users understand this nowadays,
and that is why it pays better than
1t used to.
The best place to put an adver-
tisement is in the newspaper that
enjoys the confidence of the COM
munity. l believe that the stand
ing of the paper reflects on the
advertisements it carries. There
is another thought which never
occurred to me, but which was
conveyed in a remark recently
made to me by Mr.. M. NJ. Gillian,
the advertising manager at Wan
amaker's. He said: "a sleepy
paper gathers a sleepy constituent
cy. An alert, wideawake, pro-
~gressive sheet gets readers who
like that sort of thing-or lifts
them to its level"
Wideawake people are the ones
most Influenced by advertising
progressive people who are not
afraid of o new thing or a new
idea; people who believe in the
paper they read because they have
learned to rely on it. Depend on
this. If the editorials carry weight,
the ads. viii pay. Pur your trus.
and your money in that sort of q
paper. Occasionally an adyer-
tisement will fall fat. The wise
man looks for the reason He
doesn't say blindly: Advertising
doesn't pay" He looks at the
condition of general trade, at the
weather, at the goods and the
price and the say the ad. was
worded.
This is certain: A readable adj
in a readable paper win be read
Probably not by all Of the readers
of the paper, but by a sufficient
number to make the ad. pay il
the goods are right. No doub.
about it whatever. It's as sure az
sunshine. A cloudy day comes
sometimes, but it doesn't stay
long.

This is an important question.
The citizens Of Grant County can
i'll afford TO pass this matter with
out FIRST weighing it carefully in
all its bearings, To all who have
the industrial interests Of the
County at heart it means much
more thar a passing question.
No person familiar with the
mineralogy Of this County ques-
tions our valuable resources; in
fact they have been sufficiently de-
veloped TO prove beyond the per-
adventure Of a doubt that "there
are millions in them" There is
positively no question as to the
immense value Of treasure latent in
the mountains Of Grant County.
All we need TO make this at once
one of the richest communities in
this Territory is sufficient CAPT
tai to bring to the surface those
rich mineral bodies which we are
sure our mines will yield. AT the
National Irrigation Congress and
Territorial Fair, which convene
in Albuquerque during the week
of September 16, there will be
hundreds of capitalists from the
east seeking just such investments
as we can furnish them. But il
will cost effort. Talk, alone, will
not accomplish it. 1t will require
some labor and money, but very
little of either in comparison to
what may accrue to those who
have the energy and means to
make the exhibit.
Our ranchmen ought not to
overlook this opportunity to make
a display of their products.
Fruits and cereals raised in
Grant County could be SO CLASH
fed and arranged as to make q
handsome display. These could
also be used as a forcible argument
for irrigation.
There appears to be no logica.
opposition to making a grand dis
play at the Territorial fair, and
since that is true, why not go t.
work and arrange for it at once
Remember, the time is somewha
limited and if we are to move il
the matter, let us do SO at once.

WEST SENTINEL nominated last
week, as the successor of the
Hon. John r. Nellie, a regent of
the Agricultural College is being
very generally endorsed for the

ritory, irrespective Of politics
Governor Thornton would make
no mistake in appointing Mr..
Kedzie to this position, because
he is thoroughly qualified for the
Office and it is a work in which he
would take great pride in execut-
ing intelligently and faithfully.
Mr.. Kedzie is a scholar, a level
headed business man, and an hon.
CRADLE gentleman and his pres
ence at the meetings Of the board
Of regents would, no doubt pro-
duce a wholesome effect upon the
deliberations Of that body.

H. Hansberg has written this
Office an exhaustive defense of his
alleged misdeeds, but since his
case is so soon to come on for trial,
added to the fact that he is now
in custody, it would not be proper
to attempt to prejudice the public
mind either for or against the ac-
cused. While he says very little
about the original crime which
led to his arrest, he attempts to
justify his Jail breaking. He ex-
onerates the jail guards from any
criminal connection with his es-
cape, and says that he planned
and executed it unaided. He
claims that gross injustice has
been done him, but that is a mat
ter to be investigated by the court
and not the press.
