obstinalely maintain chat we must do it
before we can ever hope to see the far

No more erraneous view could be
taken than the above, and | am sorry to
say that hundreds of farmers in our

Now such ideas are poor ideas and
poor ideas makes poor shlftless farmer
and a poor farmer makes a poor farm
aud poor farm means poor crops and
poor stock and poor crops and stock
means poor living and poorly cared Tor
family. Again we sac this poverty ex-
tending until our county is classed a
poor county and on until ours is called
poor state. All farmers are competitors
and competition in farm products has
become nearly as strong as competition
in manufactured goods. A competition
so strong that the strongest succeed and
the weakest fail A competition that
requires not only industry and under
standing but the keenest and most dis
eliminating business judgement il we
succeed, we must know what it costs on
our kind of soil to produce bushel of
wheat, or corn, or 100 pounds of pork or
tobacco or beef and if we are wise to our
business salvation we must consider we'll

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Trial Of Eustaquio Padilla, Indicted for the
Murder of Faustin Ortiz, Began in Dis
trict Court This Morning.

The case of the Territory of New
Mexico VS.. Eustaquio Padilla. charged
with being one of the Turdcrers of Faus
tin Ortiz. was called for trial in tho
Territorial District court, Chief Justice
Smith presiding. on account of Judge
Laughlin having had some connection
with the preliminary hearing of the case
as an attorney,
District Attorney Crist, Assistant Soli-
ctor General Pope and r. E. Twitchell
are prosecuting and MeSsrs. o. A. Lar
razolo and Geo. p. Money are defend
ing.
Faustin Ortiz, who was well known
about town. disappeared in March, 1890,
and soon after a boy reported that he
had seen human foot protruding from
the sand in an arroyo about one mile
northwest of the city. The investiga-
ton that ensued resulted in the uncov-
cring of the bruised and mutilated body
OF the missing man. which had been
wrapped in some old gunny sacks and
hastily buried in the sandy arroyo by
the guilty hands that had committed
the murder. If the body had been
buried deeper, so that the sand would
not have been blown from the spot, the
mystery connected with the disappear
ancc might never have been solved.
The body bore many and unmistak-
able marks of brutal violence. The
skull had been broken with u heavy
hammer, the tongue had been cut out,
and other atrocious injuries inflicted
that could only have been inspired by
the most murderous, malignant and cow
ardly spirit
1t was alleged that the crime was
committed by several persons in the
Office Of the late Juan Ortiz y Rodriguez,
then justice of the peace in precinct
No. 3, and Rodriguez was indicted for
the murder, tried and acquitted. He
died natural death some months
afterward Subsequently evidence was
secured that resulted in the indictment
of Eustaquo Padilla last year for the
of Ortiz and the burden of proof
now rests on the territory.
