Jim Dagger, a section man employed
on the section at Muldrow for the past
four or five years and an old resident Of

mangled by the car wheels while
attempting TO board moving passenger

who had been keeping it for him. $50.
He went to the union station, but was
refused ticket on account Of his con
dition and laid down on the platform
and went to sleep waking up when the
cannonban arrived, apparently sober.
He was then given ticket but waited
until the train was in motion before
attempting to board it. Being crippled
in one leg from a former accident It was
seen by 10 Jones. the baggage master
at the depot. that he would not be able
to get on and would get injured. so he

away from the moving train, but before
he could accomplish his object himself
fell and Dagger was dragged along to
the K. & A. V. crossing, where he was
torn lose by his foot getting in the frog
and his left leg was cut of by the
wheels Just below the knee. As ne
raised up the steps struck his head
fracturing his skull. He was tenderly
cared for by the trainmen and physi-
clans summoned and later removed q
the Charity Hospital, where he died
that evening.
From what We can learn no blame
can attach to the railroad S employees
for the accident.

come when it reaches the senate, but 1t is
hoped that the bill may be put through
that body, taking effect from the day of
enactment, and therefore stopping the
foreign importation of this staple, until
regular tariff measure can be passed.
Such bill is necessary at this time, for
it Is generally recognized fact, that the
proposed tariff legislation will req uire
weeks orconsummation, perhaps onths.
Unless special wool measure is put
through at once, importers will improve
this time by making importations enough
to deprive the government of revenue on
| wool, for at least year after the new bill
goes into effect. 1t is this possibility, or
more correctly speaking probability (for
the importers will not miss an oppor
tunity to make dozen fortunes on an
oversight of government that makes
the measure now under considera.
ton imperative. Should il fail, the
government will be the looser by
large sums of money, and the wool in,
dnstry will suffer to vast amount.

A PERNiCIOUS MEASURE.

Governor Thornton yesterday exercised
his veto power for the first time
during the legislative session to close
this evening. 1t was council sub.
stitute for council bill No. SO, An act to
amend chapter nine of the laws of the
Twenty ninth legislative assembly of the
territory of New Mexico, approved Feb
ruary 2, 1891, entitled: An act licensing
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, aud to
amend chapter 81 of the laws of the
Thirty first Legislative assembly of the
territory approved February II, 1898,
relative to gaming.
The reasons given by the governor for
vetoing the measure, are entirely logical,
aud will appeal strongly to any I'M
prejudiced man who is willing to view
the situation as it really exists. In the
position which he has assumed, Gov.
Thornton will have the unqualified ap-
proval of all who have the good Of the
territory at heart. He says that, it, this
substituts were to prevail, the effect
would be to increase the number of
saloons and gambling houses in the terri
tory. Not only this but under it's pro-
visions saloon might be opened in the
various precincts from go to 30 days
prior to the general election, and intoxi-
cants sold in large quantities, at time
when the communities are laboring un-
der great excitement, thus leading to
local disturbances, decentralization, and
the commission of crime.
1t requires no prophet to realize that
the effect of this measure, were it to be-
come law, would be exactly as outlined
above by the governor in his veto mes
sage. In the face of this, who will have
the hardihood to argue that 1t would be
wise or just to enact such law. In set.
ting upon this pernicious measure the
mark of his disapproval, Governor Thorn
ton has performed distinct service fol-
the people of the whole territory, who
will not be slow to recognize this actor
and render due sense of appreciation
therefor.

A UNIQUE EXPEDITION.

A few days since, small brig sailed
out of San Francisco harbor, bearing
the strangsst expedition ever formed by
men presumably sane. This expedition
was made up of exactly 90 men bound
together as the United Brotherhood of
the South Seas, and actuated solely BY q
spirit of adventure. The objective point
of the brotherhood is Leouka, one of the
Fijie group of islands via Honolulu
and Sura. This band of adventures in
corporated under the laws of California
as a stock company, sold stock enough
to charter and stock vessel and then
sailed away to unknown shores. They pro-
pose to purchase land of the islanders
for a colony, strenuously denying the
charge that they are upon conquest bent.
The idea originated with one Bernheardt
who read an article in newspaper stat
ing that there existed dearth of hus.
bands on one of those south sea islands,
but plenty of women who would pay
handsomely for mates. His idea was to
furnish husbands for these lonely females
and he opened an office forthwith. Gradu-
ally the expedition was diverted from its
original intention, and assumed the shape
in which it recently sailen away.
The member are all over 30 aud under
50. Every trade is represented with the
exception of shoemaker. There is one
German doctor of ripe scholarship, and q
lawyer who graduated some years since
from Harvard college.
The commander of the brig is capa-
BILE man Of wide experience, but no mem
Der Of the strange band has ever visited
the island where it is proposed to start
colony. The members we're selected
with great care to the end that no idle or
dissolute characters should get into the
OK petition. No member could purchase
less than 800 worth of stock, and from
the money 80 obtained an excellent equip
ment was procured.

The Thirty-second legislative assembly
did rushing business today In passing
bills. The bill providing for new code
of procedure in the courts passed the
house, having passed the council some
time since. The members of the bar of
New Mexico were somewhat divided upon
the question, but a majority of them
were in favor of code, simplifying the
practice. The bill passed in the house
by vote of 10 to 3.
