A Day Later.
The executive committee has made a
change in the date of the inaugural cere-
monies. It was originally intended to
hold the reception and ball upon the
night of January 9Th, but upon the
recommendation of some of the officials
and members the date has been changed
a day, and the inaugural will come off
on the night of the 9th. The legislature
does not assemble until the 9th, and that
day will be taken up with organization
OF the two houses, which may last until
night. In the light of this, the COM
mittee has thought it best to make the
change. The transportation committee
has arranged with the railroad compan-
les to fix their rates in accordance.

The Pail Mall Gazette regrets Mr.. Glad

"The question does not affect a hand

State Soldiers Home.

Col. W. W. McIlvane, commandant of
the Soldiers home for North Dakota, at
Lisbon, has made his first biennial re-
port to the governor, for the period
ending July LIST. last, which has been
gotten out by the jamestown Alert.
The commissioners of the home report
that liberal appropriation was made by
the legislature in 1893. for the maipten'
ance of the home and for making i'm.
provements thereat. The sum of $4,000
wat given for this purpose, for which
S2,450 were for permanent improvements

some building, near the fourishing little
city of Lisbon. The institution is fitted
up with all the conveniences that an old
soldier could possibly desire. A garden
spot of seven and a half acres has been
fenced, and the grounds otherwise i'm.
proved. The commandant notes that
only a small portion of the garden was
cultivated in 1893, and he estimates that
the expenditures for food were lessened
by that cultivation to the amount of
about S156.75, and in 1894 to a larger
amount.
The attendance at the home is not
large. The total number of members adj
mitted to date is % old soldiers, the
number last July was 10. Three had
been discharged at their own request.
The government and discipline of the
home is of a mild character and nothing
but kindness and the best of feelings
prevails. The institution has needs, one

that not a word was spoken until Mrs.
Wndsworth told HIM he had better take
a couple of coats down and cover ur
the body. He did not know until this
that she knew Stevenson was dead
as not a word of what had occurred
had been told her. After breakfast,
Roehm started out to apprise the author
tiles of what had occurred, and the story
he told first he swears was what Wads-
worth instructed him to tell.
Wadsworth and his wife were placed
upon the stand, and denied the confes.
sion of Roehm, IN so far as their connec-
lion with the murder was concerned. At
the.close of the examination information
was laid against the three, and they
waived examination and we're committed
for trial without bail.
THE MOTIVE
for the crime has not been learned as
yet. Roehm, the murderer, is described
as a shrewd and cunning young fellow,
but devoid of any moral faculties, and
when asked why he had done the deed,
answered that "two hundred dollars was
a lot of money" The Wadsworths have
lived at the ranch neal Medora for years,
and the testimony Of Roehm incriminat-
ing them seems almost incredible, as they
have been one Of the best known families
in the county. While Medora, some
years ago, was known as a typical west
ern town, and while there was NO lack of
the use of firearms, this rougher element
las long since vanished, and the COM
munity has been one of the most peace
ful. The Rruesome story of crime which
has just been revealed, is, therefore, an
inexpressible shock to the good people
of Medora, and the pitch of public ex.
element is intense.

S~herif-elect M. J. O'Connor arrived

but the other of them, Thomas EcElroy,
who was sentenced for eighteen months
for wheat stealing, broke jail at Grand
Forks Friday night, and skipped, being
still at large. The officers are on bis
trail and expect to have him ere long.

THAT Medora Murder.

At the coroner's inquest held over the
body of Ed Severson, at Medora, it was
found that he came to his death by a
rifle shot. The body was lying in a cor
rail- down under a hill, about 200 feet
from the ranch house. Harry Roehm,
the 1~4.year.old son Of Frederick Roehm,
a baker, formerly Of Fargo, is held for
the murder, The two were working to-
gether for a ranchman named Wads-
worth, sic ptin the same bed, and on the
fatal morning arose a little before day
break, the boy leaving the house first.

INSURANCE MATTERS.

Representative Hinkle, of Lincoln
county, ever watchful of the practical in
terests of the people, has introduced q
carefully matured bill in the house pro-
viding for the creation of the Office of ter
ritorial insurance commissioner. This
is a measure of much moment, and merits
the serious consideration of those clothed
with the law-making power. The bill
commends itself to the New MEXICAN as
both wise and timely, and it candldly be-
lieves that the passage Of the same would
promote the public veal. The insurance
business is very large and steadily in
creasing in New Mexico. Thousands of
dollars are annually paid out by the peo-
pie of the territory to eastern corpora
tions for protection against fire and the
inevitable incident of death, and every
safeguard should be provided by law to
protect these people from investing in
unscrupulous and worthless companies.
Experience has plentifully proved, nearly
all the states having such an official, that
the services of capable and watchful in
surance commissioner are of great value
to the public. Let New Mexico share in
all the good things that progressive mod
ern thought has suggested.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Gallup is Hopeful

All reports from Santa Fe are favor
able for the creation of Summit county at
this session of the legislature. Our de-
mands are just and deserve the earnest
attention Of the law makers now at the
capital. The necessary data has been
laid before them and after they have i'm
partially examined the same and care
fully considered our demands, We are GER
tain that they will concede our just de-
mands. The country is growing and will
continue to grow at no slow ate during
the next few years and it would be an in
justice to the public spirited citizens of
this part of the territory, regardless of
nationality, to deprive them of their just
right as loyal American citizens. 1t is
true that the creation Of Summit county
may slightly hurt a few, a very few, poll
ticians in and about the town of Las
Lunas, but all the people within the
boundaries of the proposed county of
Summit would be benefited great DEAL
The people of this section, irres pective
of politics, demand the creation of said
county for the common good of all con-
cerned, politics is secondary considera-
ton with them at this time. Give US a
new county, Messrs. Legislators, and the
people in this portion of New Mexico will
rise up in body and call you blessed

true friends of statehood, 1t should prove
merely an additional incentive for them
to stay together and redouble their efforts
in behalf of the measure. 1t ought to be
passed at the present session, there is no
good reason why it should not if Demo,
Gratis will do their duty. Let the friends
of progress unite for final effort in be-
half of New Mexico independence. Let it
not be admitted that few sorehead poll
tcians and a couple Of disgruntled Re-
publican sheets like the Albuquerque
Citizen and Ration Range have 80 COM
pletely misrepresented the public senti-
ment of our people as to imperil the sue
cess of this vital proposition before con.
gress at time when every feature of it
appeared most propitious. Democrats,
to the rescue!
