The Jury Disagreed.

Clayton, N. NJ, July I3-After twenty
four hours the jury in the case of Juan
Martinez and three accomplces for the
murder of two Cinnamon on the 23rd of
last March, returned with word that no
agreement could be reached and were at
once discharged. Judge Smith then sen
fenced the men on their own plea Of
murder in the second degree to impris.
enment for life in Santa Fe.
This closes the first era of one of the
most brutal crimes that has blotted the
pages of New Mexico's history. On the
23rd of last March at midnight Juan Mar
tinez, with three Mexicans, whose voca
ton was that of herding sheep, entered
the house of the Cinnamon and with
hatchet and coupling pin put to death
two innocent Mongolians. Their plan
was to first murder, then rob. After the
Cinnamon had been killed, the house was
ransacked but no booty of consequence
was found. They departed with very
little money, but were subsequently ar
rested and have been in Jail awaiting the
term of the district court On the stand
they confessed to the deed. The jury
was composed of twelve Mexicans who
were unable to agree even upon the con-
fession of their comrades.
Judge Smith voiced the popular senti-
ment in dismissing the jury when he said
that had the court his way they should
not be allowed at any future time to serve
on jury in this county. The condemned
men will be taken at once to Santa Fe.

TWENTY LIVES LOST.
A New York Reservoir Dam Breaks Caus-
ing Great Damage.

A New York Reservoir Dam Breaks Caus-
ing Great Damage.
Mattewan, N. Y, July I4-Without an
instants warning, the dam of the Met
zingah reservoii in the Fishkill noun
tains broke at 2 a. m. today, causing the
destruction of great amount of proper
ty and theloss of twenty lives. No such
destruction of property has occurred
since the Johnston flood. Houses were
hurled away in tangle of timber and
other debris. At the first rush of the
waters, trees were torn up by the roots
and dashed away.
The dead are:
Peter Mulligan and wife.
Mrs. Anne Ferry and 7-year-old child.
Mrs. John Conroy and two children.
Selma Lowrie.
John Sinker.
AS the torrent thundered down the
valley it sounded warning to many OF
the dwellers below, but few had time to
flee to place of safety.
The reservoir was filled to overhowing
by the recent heavy rains, but there was
no thought that the walls would not be
strong enough to withstand the strain.
Those living in the vicinity of the reser
voir have noticed water trlckling Though
the wall near the ends but gave the cir
cumstances no notice. The water spread
in sea, covering the New York Central
tracks, and the crumpled walls were
scattered over the tracks.
AS soon as possible, those fortunate
enough to escape, set about aiding the
less fortunate ones. There are many
stories of heroic attempts of rescue. AS
s;stapce has been sent to the stricken
district and neighboring farmers are do
ing all in their power to rescue the bodies,
Word was received at the Grand Cen
tral station that washout had occurred
below Duchess Junction and trains were
sent out to repair the damage. AT II a.
m. tressle was completed over the
washed out tracks and the Montreal
Express was sent over. No other trains
will cross until ii has been strengthened.
A terrific storm was raging at the time
of the breaking of the dam. The list of
fatalities is feared to be larger than at
first reported.
Nine bodies have been recovered and
20 people are still missing. Searching
parties are now at work and it is expect
ed that other recoveries will be made to-
day.
The reservoirs belong to the water
work system of a private company sup
plying the villages of Mattewan and
Fishkill.
p. m. 1t is estimated that the loss
caused by the bursting of the dam will
amount to 100000. Thousands of
people are viewing the total wreck of the
town.
No other bodies have been discovered
| up to this time.

MUST STAND UNITED.
Chairman Towne Believes That the Silver
Forces Must Stand Together in OHIO.

Chairman Towne Believes That the Silver
Forces Must Stand Together in OHIO.
Denver, July 14-The Republican this
morning publishes the following special
from Washington:
1t appears that the chairman of the
Silver Republican state committee of
Ohio is favoring the nomination of Sill
yer Republican state ticket. Mr.. Towne
said today in regard to the matter:
"Within day or two rumors have
reached Washington of an intention by
the Silver Republicans to run state
ticket there this fall. The report is In
credible. l cannot believe that there is
any considerable number of Silver Re-
publicans in Ohio so lost to the demands
of high principle and wise politlcs as
soberly to counsel course that abso
lutely insures the return of Hanna to
the senate and fix upon our party the
stain of cheap ambition or spite.
"Concededly the Democracy of Ohio
have made some unfortunate moves-aS
for example. in not placing strong Pop
ullst on their ticket and they may con-
template others, but they have put the
silver question unequivocally to the fore,
and they stand for the overthrow of
Hannaism, the most loathesome and
dangerous influence in American politics.
"In this juncture for any silver man In
Ohio to fail to do his utmost for the sue
cess of the Democratic state ticket and
the legislative ticket is, as it seems to
me, political crime. These views,
believe, are shared by every prominent
Silver Republican In the United States.
"There will be no Silver Republican
state ticket in Ohio if the national or
ganzation can prevent it"

were asked to define certain words and
to give a sentence illustrating the
meaning. Here are a few: Frantic
means wild. / picked some frantic
flowers. Athletic, strong; the vinegar
was too athletic to use. Tandem, one
behind another; the boys sit tandem at
school. And then some single words are
funnily explained. Dust is mud with
the wet squeezed out; fins are fishes
wings; stars are the moons eggs; cir
cumference is the distance around the
middle of the outside.-Educational Ga
