A STATEMENT
From Mcssrs. E. L. Taylor, $. Y. T. Knox
 and Fred Fox.

On last Monday afternoon, April 9th, about , o'clock, we, having heard the rumor current upon the streets that Mir. T. B. Atkinson had pledged, in the event of his election to the office of Mayor, to appoint Mir. Alex LeLaurin to the position of Chief of the Police Department, and Mir Lew Owen to the position of Chief of the Fire Daparimant, called upon Mr. Atkinson at his place of business for an explanation. He at once denounced the rumor and said 1t was not true. Mir. Atkinson also stated to the committee that they could say for him to the public that he would appoint only such men as the business men and pdhlic at large would approve. Then Mr. Fox put this question to Alr. Atkinson "In ease you are elected. will you prom ise us that you will not appoint Aessrs. LeLaurin and Owen?" Mir. &EklDSUu ISpilt,N HlSds J Ou ao V gone one step too far. Inasmuch as I have not made any pledges, now you are requiring one. l think 1t would injure me to answer that question either way, as it would have tendency to array one ele- ment against another, both of whom are now my friends politically, but rest assured that l will appoint only such men as the public will ap- prove.' Mr. Atkinson further stated that Mir. LeLaurin had never asked for any appointment, nor had any one else asked for him; that some friends had asked for the Chief of Police for Mir. Owen. which request he refused to entertain. He said he had made his campa ign upon high plane and was not inclined to make pledges to any body, and that, Ii elected, it wousd be his pride to give the best administration possible to the people.

That there is an abundance OF want at
present in this community, cannot be sue
cessfully denied and none can galnsay the
fact that there should be al abundance Of
help to meet 1t. The times are worse for
the poor than they have ever been in the
past. The prevailing ~stagnation In trade

proportion Of the working population Of
their usual amount OF employment, and
Ii Is perhaps not difficult to comprehend
the fact that the many In enforced idle
ness, and those dependent upon them,
must necessarily be subjected to many
distressing privations, and TO whom as
s~istance will be most opportune and vel
Many OF these, owing to their innate
modesty and characteristic Independence,
require to be sought out. Let this DO done.
There are scores whose wants are never
told to the world, and whose real suffer-
ings are q secret between them and their
God. Their lamentations never reach the
public ear, and their tears never fall upon
abe hand that Is open a. the day to melt
ing charity.n They. are too timid TO 90
about and Task aid, and no one ever
looks in upon their cold and d~ssolate
he~arthstone. To relieve these, aud all
other deserving cases of poverty, should
be regarded, mot simply rs q duty, butias q
pleasure, for certainly it Is always : pleas
ure to kind heart to be able to render .
service to others.
The above timely remarks have been
drawn out by the fac that on yesterday,
Marshal Tom Clay recsivsd an unsigned
note, locating a destitute family. II
proved to be that Of John D. North, who
has been ont Of steady and remunsrative

.F+
The trite, old saying, Love laughs at
locksmiths," was verified In Las Vegas,
last night. Faustin Gallsgos was mot
at his place Of business, as usual, this
morning, and thereby hangs q tale.
1t appears that for some tins he has
been paying afsctionate attention to Miss
Andrellita Salas, a pretty, educated,
sighteen-year-old girl, with q view to
matrimony. She reciprosated tbs affcc-
ton, but for some reason, the parents OBJ
jected to the marriage Of their lovely and
Iovable daughter, as they have done In
contemplated nuptials, q time or two boz
fore. However, the young couple were
determined to embark on the ssa OF mat
rimony, despite the parental objections,
and SO they did.
The young lady was missed from this
house OF her father, Don Antonio A. Salas,
about s O'Clock last evening. Something
being surmised, a search was instituted at
the houses Of those whom she would likely
visit, but the escapads had been well plan
ned and nothing could be ascsrtained Of
her whereabouts.
Subsequently, 1t was learned that Mise
Andrellita had gone out to Los Aiamos,
where she has friends and relatives resid-
ing. At the usual hour for morning we'd
dings, to-day, she was driven to Sapeilo,
a few miles from Los Alamos, where the
ceremony was said by g parish priest and
she became the wife of N. F. Gallsgos, who
is a member Of the firm of Cordova g.
Gallegos, dealers In hay, grain, country
produce, ETC., near the bridge street. cross
ing.
The young couple drove into the city,
to-day, and it 10 understood that their
marriage will be celebrated with q dance,
tonight.
