SAD DOUBLE DROWNING.
Fred and Edith TuIly Lost Their Lives
in Attempting. to Cross the Animas
Near Aztec-A Brothers
Grief

The San Juan county papers bring the
sad news that, on Saturday afternoon,
April 35, Fred and Edith Tully, brother
and sister, aged respectively 81 and %
years, were drowned in the cold and
treacherous waters of the Animas river at
the Cell Blancett ford, just below Aztec
All known of the disaster is that the
brother and sister attempted to cross the
river in lumber wagon, that the wagon
coupling broke and that they were pre-.
cipitated into the deep and swift flowing
current. The horses reached the bank
and returned home late at night, showing
unmistakable signs of their desperate
struggle.
The aged mother, who WAS left alone
on the homo ranch, could not at first be
persuaded that anything had happened
to her children, but her neighbors feared
the worst and began an earnest search
for the bodies. The body of Fred was
found on Sunday lodged on a small
island about three miles below the scene
of the accident md that of his sister on
the following Monday evening near the
headpnte. Of the Tseter-Hubbard ditch
nbont two miles below the fata, ford.

Edward Baker has gone to Mogollon,
where Mrs. Baker and the children have
been for several months.
DR.. d. @. Kelley has been unanim ously
elected over two competitors to the office
of city physician at Goldfields, in the
Cripple Creek district. It would appear
from this that he is catching On in great
shape up there.
Tombstone, A. T., has six flowing arte-
sian wells and is consequently happy.
Cerrillos has one flowing artesian we'll
and we might have six more if we would
set about it. With seven wells we ought
to be just little bit happier than the
town with the gruesome name.
Harry Kinsell has leased the Live Oak
mine for one year from Gov. W. T.
Thornton, and will commence work Mon
day sinking $50 feet further in the 100.
foot shaft. The Live Oak is good
property and we are glad to learn it will
not remain idle hereafter.
G. @. Fitzgerald and son came ont from
New York, arriving here Sunday morning.
Mr.. Fitzgerald recently won an import
ant suit involving large mineral grant
in Venezuela, which he has since sold to
Holland syndicate for $5,000,000, a de-
posit of $265,0OO having been made to
his credit as first payment. He left for
Crittenden, A. T., accompanied by Mrs
Fitzgerald and son, Tuesday of this week,
he having charge of properties there
upon which $85,000 will be expended in
development and machinery. While here
he leased his mill at Golden to Messrs
Brydon and Sugar.
1t ia said the turquoise mines near Ger.
rillos, owned by the American Turquoise
com pany, which in this case is only
another name for the Tiffany jewelry
house, have produced turquoise during
the past eight months at the rate of $22,
900 month. This is probably no exag
geratiop, but the exact figures are diff
cult to obtain. Superintendent McNulty
is not very talkative at any time and
when turquoise lie spoken of his silence il
thick enough to be cut with knife
While we would like to know more abou
these great mines which are furnishing
the greater part of the worlds supply O.
these stones, we Cal not but commend Mr.
McNulty upon his ability to attend quietl,
to his part of the work, leaving others tt
follow up with a brass band.
Hon. Lorion Miller came over from
Santa Fe yesterday morning, and with W
G. Rogers visited the petroleum spring
about twelve miles southwest of Cerrillos
where it is proposed to sink for oil dis
tance of !, 900 feet or more if necessary, ,
com pany having been formed for tina
purpose. The oil which rises to the sur
face and is carried off at a spring, ha
been analysed and is of superior quality
and it Ia said the Indications are excel
lent. Mr.. NJ. Harold, who is known to b.
a thoroughly reliable expert, has oonsid

When the senate met to-day Mr.. Call

on the schooner Competitor by the
Spanish gun-boat and to demand Of
Spain that the prisoners not be subject
to cruel treatment.
Mr.. Call asked the immediate adoption
of the resolution and, on a viva voce vote
it was adopted with faint response, few
senators being present.
Mr.. Wolcott, of Colorado, quickly In.
terposed, pointing out that this was a
surprising course, directing a protest and
demand on Spain, without any consider
alton.
Mr.. Call insisted that the case was
urgent, reports being current that the
prisoners were TO be executed. If Great
Britain were involved there would be no
hesitation in protesting.
Mr.. Wolcott answered that if the facts
were as Mr.. Call stated, it was the duty
of the president to protest and the pro-
cedure for the senate was to request the
president to do his duty.
He jected to immediate action and
the resolution went over.

Boston, May 5-When John Stetson
died on April II he left an estate var
iously estimated at from $2,00O,000 to
$3,00O,00O. To-day the property amounts
to less than $500,000. No one knows
where the balance has gone.

will of the millionaire theater manager.

the continued illness of Pattee and Mrs.

What puzzles Adams is that the will
can net be found. The will devised every
thing to Mrs. Stetson without reserve.
Whether or not Mrs. Stetson, whose
heirs are her mother and three sisters,
left a will is not known.
