THE ANDERSONM MURDER CASE.
What Has Developed Today in the Case
Before the Public

This morning at 10 clock was set for
| the trial he prisoners charged with
numbering Charl Richards, alias
Shorty Anderson, hut the case was con-
tinue1 until next Friday at O'Clock.
| George Herold ella aimed this morning
that Joe Cooper had made a further
copfe> sion that made the evidence
\ against The three MeXicans under ar
rest clearer. and warrants were sworn
out sgain INST them this morning charg-
| ing them with the murder. Joe Coop
er was fined iu the police court on the
charge of being drunk and has been
held at the city JAIL but this morning
he was transferred to the county Jail,
| where be will also be held to await the
action of the grand jury.
Some new evidence develoDed this
| morning which if traced up may lead
to ore testimony. Two ladies who
live in East Ell Pa-o started for the fire
last Monday morning and on their way
they noticed a lot of canned goods piled
up in some brush alongside of the road.
After the fire the ladies returned to
their homes and they thought about
the canned goods they saw piled up by
the road, so they wen: to look for them
and found they had disappeared while
they were at the fire. Justi-e McKie
is thinking of issuing search warrants
to search the houses of the suspects in
East Ell Paso.
One of the parties under arrest is
cook and is now cooking at the res
taurant of Jesus Vellalva. the HER
AIDS pressman, who is now in Parral,
Mexico. The people at the restaurant
claim that the cook was at the house
all Sunday night, but that they do not
know where he went Sunday morning
after breakfast, and the next they
heard of him he was iu Jail charged
with mu dering Shorty Anderson.
The man speaks good English and is
frst-c'ass cook, having worked in sew
eral large cities in the United States.
Nothing has been heard from the
telegram sent to Shorty Anderson's
relatives in Kansas, but the remains
will be kept until next Sunday and
given a freman's burial, unless word
is sre e"eived in the meantime to send
the remains to his old home in Kansas.

President John Smith, or the Story of
aPeaceful Revolution.

'President John Smith" is the lit
erary sensation of the year. This
powerful political story is destined to
mark an epoch in the social and pO-
litical history Of the United States,
and to play an important part in shap-
ing thought and in moulding future
political action. 1t should and will be
read by every American citizen who
is interested in the great social and
political problems now pressing for
q solution.
The -hOr, Frederick U. Adams, is
one of the most famous newspaper
writer's in the United States. Mr..
Adams wrote "President John Smith"
three years ago. He did not believe
that period ripe for it's publica-
ton, and has patiently waited for the
development of events. The prophetic
chapters of "President John Smith"
is now read as a history. Every inn
pOrtant forecast has been more than
realized. This book is history of
the events which led to the election
of John Smith, plain American cit
izen-to the presidency of the United
States. 1t is story of peaceful revo-
luton; tale of the triumph of the
majority after series of reverses. It
is plea for majority rule. 1t is q
scathing denunciation of the theory
held by DR.. Lyman Abbott and other
anarchists, that government does not
rest on the consent of the governed. Ii
is American in every paragraph and
line. 1t breathes the patriotism luftier
than the constitution and as oroad as
the liberty inspired lies OF the i'm
| mortal Declaration o. Indepe, .t~nce.
mechanical form he book is ne
thing of novelty. The price of 2E
cents for q new novel in paper covers
become pretty we'll established, and
recent competition among publishers
has been in the direction of giving
the bulkiest book possible for the
money. This has resulted in the use
of inferior paper of dingy color anG
too stiff to handle with comfort. The
publishers of the present book believe
intelligent readers will welcome ,
change, and "President John Smith
will be printed on creamy white pa
per, just thick enough to be opaque
and of size convenient for the sid
pocket. (Cl0th 81, paper Is cents.)
