A UNIQUE IDEA.
An Army of Imitation street Fakfr,
nj n Church Euir,

A peddler procession was the great fea-
turc of recent Church fair in a neigh
boring city. The participants. men and
women, both, with few children, had
secured articles OF all sorts; some to be
sold outright. others upon a commission.
With these, and grotesquely dressed, they
lHrchod in procession through the hall
where the fair was held, crying wares and
inviting custom. There were tin-peddlers
soap-eellers, apple-women. hawkers of small
household necessities, and imtators of the
street fakrs who were witty and attracted
many who wished to buy from them for the
sake of the fun produced by traffic.

DISTRICT COURT.
Fine Record Making in Rio Arriba-
Working Day and Night-The
VipOnd Case Oh Trial.

Correspondence New Mexican.
TERRA Amarillo, Nov. 9.-The district
court convened here on Monday, Judge
Laughlin presiding. A number of law
yers were in attendance, among them
District Attorney Crist, Thomas B. Cat
ron, B. M. Read, Larkin G. Read, VIM. H.
Pope, A. B. Renehan, Alexander Read and
W. R. Garrison.
Judge Laughlin accomplished the al
most unprecedented feat of securing the
organization of the grand and petit juries
by noon of the first day of court, Hon.
Thomas d. Burns being the foreman of
the grand jury.
During the six days which have inter-
vened up to the prese Mt writing over sixty
cases have been disposed of, due largely
to the tireless energy of the presiding
Judge who is holding three sessions each
day, beginning at O'Clock in the morn
ing ard ending within an hour or two of
midnight. As a result of the hard work
thus performed the civil and criminal
dockets have been practically cleared of
old business. The only matters now re-
naming are the characterization thir-
ty n number-found by the grand jury

territory and Messrs. Larkin q. Read and
Alexander Read the defendant. A jury
was secured without difficulty, but the en-
gagement of the district attorney before
the grand jury necessitated postpone
ment of the introduction of evidence to
Monday.
It is anticipated that the case will not
take more than two days. Following the
Vipond case there will be taken up the
case of the Territory Va. Rosario Ring
and Celestino Romero for the murder of
Carlos Ulibarri in TERRA Amarillo In
September, 1895. Local interest in this
last case is very intense as the deceased
had great many friends and relatives.
The defendants are represented by
Messrs. VIM. H. Pope, Alexander Read
and ". R. Garrison. In addition to the
two cases just mentioned, the present
grand jury has reported seven other in
dictments for murder. An indictment,
the finding of which has created no little
interest, is that against Tomas A. Tru-
jillo for forgery. Trujillo was up to a
few days ago county school superintend-
emit but the episode has resulted in his
resignation. From present indications

PROSPEROUS SAN JUAN.
An Old Resident of Northwestern New
Mexico Talks Hopefully of His
Section Output of Fruit and
Alfalfa-Fatting Cattle
Railroad Prospects.

Mr.. John Pond, who has been engaged
in raising cattle and horses at his ex-
teasive ranch on the La Plata in San
Juan county since 1877, was a pleasant
caller at the NEW MEXICAN Office this
morning.
Mr.. Pond reports that the people Of
San Juan county are beginning to enter
into the enjoyment Of the results of their
hard and we'll directed labors and now
seem to have as bright prospects before
them as any people in the west. They
are chiefly engaged in raising fruit, al
falfa and fat beef for the mountain mar
kets. He estimates the fruit crop of the
county for this year at 100000 pounds
and says that 100000 tons will not more
than cover the alfalfa crop. The alfalfa
is worth about IS per ton on the ground,
but much of the product is fed to stock
on the home ranches, as it is found that
it yields better returns in the form of fat
stock than otherwise.
He says that raising cattle on the
ranges in San Juan county has about
been abandoned and that most of the
cattle there now are kept within the en-
closures of the owners. He adds that
most of the people there now raise high
grade stock, such as the Jersey, Hqlstein
and Durham breeds, and that the pro-
duction of butter and cheese is likely
soon to become an important industry
there.
Mr.. Pond is confident that one of the
most notable needs of the county-a rail-
roads likely soon to be supplied by
the construction Of line from Durango
to Huntington and then probably south
ward. Among the promoters of this i'm
portant enterprise are Messrs. Charles
Thurlow and q. M. Williams, of Colorado
Springs; Prewitt Brothers, of Durango,
and other persons, all of whom have
large investments in lands and bitches in
San Juan county. The preliminary sur
vey for the line is now in progress.

A RESPITE GRANTED.
Youthful U. s. Prisoners at Albuqaer
ane Given a Chance-The Presl-
dent Asked to Pardon
Them,

VIM. Thomas and Chas. Erwin, aged re-
spectively II and Is years, were recently
found guilty in the district court at AL
buquerque of selling cigars without IL
cense, and were sentenced to six months
imprisonment in the county jail. The
boys having heretofore borne good char
acters, and in response to petition num-
erously signed, the governor to-day
granted them respite of sixty days,
pending an appeal to the president for
pardon, in the meantime requesting the
sheriff to release the boys from custody
upon their furnishing bonds in the sum
of $500 each for their appearance in the
event that application for pardon be re-
fused by the president.
In his letter advising the attorney gen.
eral of his action the governor says:
"By the execution of this sentence
these boys of tender age will be thrown
in the company of some of the worst
men in the territory, and believing that
humanity demands their pardon and that
lQ6y nHV6 Uoou puuiouOo IVA
their thoughtless crime, I have issued a
respite pending application for their par
don.
Enclosed I send you petition which
was presented to the Judge asking sus'
pension of sentence, but he declined to
do anything, stating that the proper way
was for the petition to 90 to the presi-
dent of the United States. The signers
of this petition are among the very best
people in the territory, and there is gen
eral feeling that they should be pardoned,
and that if the sentence is enforced, and
the boys compelled to remain six months
in close association with criminals, it will
ruin their future life; that while the con-
viction has been severe lesson to them,
a pardon will probably result in great
good to the boys.
"It is almost the universal feeling in
the community where they reside that the
interest of humanity demands this par
don, which most earnestly recommend"
