SHances OF StatenOOu
The only hope of statehood for New
Mexico during the coming congress is in
the election OF FERGUSON. Ii there shall
be majority in the next house in favor
OF silver, as now seems to be assured be-
yond any reasonable doubt, the election
OF such man as Mr.. Catron, on such
platform rs that upon which he stands,
would most effectually cut the territory
oil from any hope OF admission. A sill
yer congress could not be expected to
give favorable consideration To an ap-
pllcatlon for admission TO the Union
from territory whose every interest is
on the side OF silver and yet majority
OF whose people would allow themselves
TO be used against their own interests
ior the benefit OF a few politicians. Such
community would certainly lot be ad-
mitted to statehood by a SILVER congress
and ii possibly we should have a gold
majority in congress everybody knows
that there would be no hope lor the adj
mission OF New Mexico under any cir
cumstances. Therefore the situation re-
duces itself to this: Ii we have Re-
publican congress we shall have no
chance OF admission under any circum-
stances, AMI ii We have Democratic con-
gress we will he admitted ii Ne are rep.

are not disposed to make any new gold
states. The gold men have no faith in
New Mexico under any circumstances,
and the silver men would not trust her
II she should elect gold delegate.
Therefore, II We elect Frlyussun we

BOLD BANK ROBBERS

Make an Attempt on the Warren (Ark.)
sank, but Meet with Unexpected Resist
ance, and Fail to Secure any Booty-A
Bank Director Shot and Killed. and the
Cashier and One of the Robbers Wounded
WARREN, Ark, Feb. 26.-A daring
and desperate attempt at bank rob
berry occurred here at three o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The robbers failed
to get any money, but the brave
cashier, Mr.. Adair, lies dangerously
wounded, and Mr.. T. M. Goodwin, a
leading citizen, merchant and bank
director, is dead.
There were only three of the robbers
In sight, one tall, red-complexioned,
sandy-moustached individual, and the
other two, apparently brothers, black
hair and dark complexioned, round
faces, appearing to be of foreign birth.
They have camped about two days just
outside of the town, near Pennington's
house, who has been cooking for them.
They have been about town OCCASION
ally, buying horse feed and provisions,
and one of them made deposit Of S25
in the Merchants and Planters bank
shortly afterward drawing it out, half
at time,
Yesterday, about two o'clock they
were noticed coming into town, but
no attention was paid to them un-
til they walked into the bank single
file, which excited the suspicious of
Mr.. Jolly, who watched them.
On entering the bank, the one who
had deposited and drawn out the S25,
demanded of the cashier to know il he
did not pay interest on deposits. He
replied "No," whereupon, with an
oath, the robber presented his pistol
and ordered the cashier to hold up his
hands.
At this time Mr.. 7. NJ. Goodwin and
D. W. Sutton, two directors, were sit
ting inside the office, and did not pay
any attention until Mr.. Adair, instead
of holding up his hands, reached for
his pistol, lying close by. Then the
robbers fred on him and grazed his
head, stunning him so that he fell to
the floor. Doubtless the robbers
thought him dead, and rushed inside
to get the plunder, and Mr.. Goodwin
and Mr.. Sutton being in their way,
though unarmed, were fired on, and
Mr.. Goodwin fell, fatally wounded.
Meanwhile the cashier on the floor
fred two shots at the robber nearest
him, when they fired on him again

shoulder. lie is not considered ia.
