SOUTHERN LINCOLN COUNTY,
Prosperous and Doing Well Railroad
Building Grand Thing for That Sec
tion-Political Prospects,

Judge T. c.. Tillotson, a leading
citizen of Lincoln county, who lives On
Lower Penasco, was in the city yester-
day on business in the executive Office.
He presented to Governor OterO a
petition signed by 900 citizens and
voters of Lincoln county asking execu-
tive clemency in the case of Robert
McGee, an old man, sentenced to five
wears confinement in the territorial
penitentiary for manslaughter and
tried and convicted in April 1897. He
also presented letters from court officials
of the 5th judicial district recommend
ing favorable action in the case.
Governor Otero after a thorough
investigation granted the prayer and
Judge Tillotson left yesterday for home
very much pleased. The Judge has
been Il resident of Lincoln county for
% years, is one of the %county's pioneers
and is engaged in the stock business.
He says Lincoln county was never
more prosperous or better off than this
season. The range is fine, abundant
rains have fallen, the crops are good
and there is a ready and steady sale for
all agricultural and horticultural prod
ucts at good prices. The Ell Paso 4
North Eastern railroad, now building
| up the Fresnal canon, is employing about
1000 men and many teams in track
laying, in cutting ties, bridge timber,
telegraph poles, dimension timber,
lumber and the like at good wages.
| This has brought much ready money
into the country and has made every
thing prosperous.
This year the farmers in the Sacra-
mento and White mountains have raised
| crops without irrigation and many new
settlers are going into that region,
which is one of the finest sections in the
| entire southwest and contains an extern
sive and magnificent timber belt of
hundreds of thousands of acres. The
| Alamogordo and Sacramento mountain
railroad is now about nine miles up the
Fresnal canon and has tapped this belt.
1t is to be extended about 20 miles fur

"lT IS An OUTRAGE"
Expressions of Prominent Men Of the Terri
tory Regarding Conditions in San Mi
guel County-Oredit of New Mex
ino Must Be Maintained.

The manner in which the county
commissioners of San Miguel county
are conducting the business OF that
county is attracting attention in all
parts OF the territory, and the feeling
prevails that something should be done
to enforce the law regarding the collec-
ton of taxes and pro-rating the revenne
of the county among the creditors. 1t
is recognized that an injustice is done
every other county in the territory and
that taxpayers outside OF a Miguel
county are compelled to pay that coun-
tvs proportion of territorial support.
Prominent citizens from different
parts of New Mexico, who have been
in Santa Fe the past week, have ex-
pressed themselves strongly on the mat
ter. Some of the gentlemen have re-
fused to talk for publication, but the
following indicates the feeling which
prevails:
Hon. w. s. Hopewell, of Hlllsboro,
said: s'It is an outrage. If one county
is allowed to accept evidences OF in
debtedness in payment of taxes, all
others should be given the same priv
lege. That II of paying taxes Is
not permitted in Sierra county. Nothing
but hard cash is accepted"
Hon. Mariana S. Otero, of Albuquer.
que: "The law provides that taxes
shall be paid in cash, and they ought
to be paid in cash. If every county
should accept evidences of indebtedness
for taxes, what shape would the territory
be in shortly?'
Hon. Geo. l.. Ulrich, of White Oaks
member of the territorial board O.
equalization: eff taxes are not paid IL
cash, how is the territory to meet it,
obligations? If the territory is evel
forced to default on interest on it,
bonds, our credit will be seriously i'm
paired. Lincoln county taxes are pait
in cash.

IT'S a good thing for you that the truth
has come out in time" Quin said sharply
You played clever tricks William
Fowler" ne added "and l hope you'll pay
dearly for it,
Don't crow too soon,' replied the pris-
oner, with an ugly scowl. We'll meet
again, and perhaps 1t will be my turn to
score then"
Quin's anger had cooled rapidly, and, all
things considered, he admitted to himself
that he was fortunate to get out OF the
scrape easily. He recovered his clothes
and luggage, and was detained only long
enough to give evidence as to what he knew
of John Tuke. alias William Fowler Then
having exacted a promise from the in
spector that MAX would be cared for he
boarded the Bushire just as the whistle
blew for starting.

The Speed of Insects.


1t is the popular belief that the flights of
birds Is much swifter than that of the in
sects, but a number of naturalists who
have been making a study of the matter
think that such is not the case. A common
house fly. for example, is not very rapid in
its fight, but its wings make 500 beats a
second and send 1t through the air twenty
five feet, under ordinary circumstances, in
that space Of time. When the insect is
alarmed, however, 1t has been found that
1t can increase its rate of speed to over 15O
feet per second. If 1t could continue such
rapid flight for a mile in straight line it
We uld cover that distance in exactly thirty
three seconds.
1t is not an uncommon thing, when trav-
cling by rail In the summer time, to see q
bee or wasp keeping up with the train and
trying to get in at one Of the windows. A
swallow Is considered one of the swiftest
Of flying Birds and II was thought until a
short time ago that no insect could escape
1t. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase
he saw between a swallow and a dragon
fly. which is among the swiftest of insects.
The insect flew with incredible speed, and
wheeled and lodged with such ease that
the swallow, despite its utmost efforts,
completely failed to overtake and cap
ture it.

queer, rasping noise outside cut Quin' $
reflections short and brought look of
startled apprehension to his face. The next
instant in the open doorway appeared Il
great panther: At once the brute glided
over the threshold 1t advanced few feet
into the room, then paused and crouched
low on the floor. With open jaws and raw
enous eyes it glared at the Englishman; its
tail angrily switched it's tawny, varegated
fianks.
In the flash of second Quin thought
many things. He knew that this was Hof-
burg's panther, and that it must have
broken out of the warehouse during the
night. He was weak and unarmed, and
escape frcm a hideous death seemed i'm
possible; but nevertheless his pluck did not
desert him. He rallied all his strength to
meet the attack, meanwhile looking the
beast straight in the eyes. He wished vain
ly that he could get hold of the broken
bench.
The. panther quivered for the leap, and
from the blood-red jaws came a snarlinS
passionate scream. Quin staggered quick
ly to his feet, flung out his arms and shout
ed with all the power of his lungs. The
human sound checked the creature. II

ed off. I'll try to grip it by the throat
that's the only chance for me. Ah, here
goes for the tussle-"
But just then, before the tawny anima
could leap. deep. gruff bark was heard
outside the bungalow. The panther wheel

darkened the doorway, and with a deel

and, more by chance than skill, he put a
bullet through the head of the panther,
which leaped convulsively away from its
opponent, and after a brief struggle lay
dead. MAX, bleeding from a dozen bites
and decorations. tried to crawl. But he was
too weak, and with pitiful whine he rolled
over on his side. Quin starting anxiously
toward the hound, was firmly grasped by
the three Sikhs.
What do you mean?" he demanded, in
dignantly. "Unhand me-"

The inspector laughed.
I'VE knew you were in the neighbor-
hood he said, but we failed to locate you
until this morning, when your friend, Eng

gasped Quin.
II mean English Kate, a notorious char

Yes, she betrayed me-" exclaimed Quin

That's enough growled the inspector
do you think you can fool me? Your de-
scription answers perfectly. Your record
is known to the police of all countries. You

William Fowler"
A light broke on Quin's mind; vivid
memory of the past rose swiftly before him,
and he knew that he had grasped the mean
ing of the blunder.
William Fowler!" he cried, eagerly. "Is
he man of about my age and build. and
bearing strong likeness to me?'
You're as much alike as two peas" said
the inspector, with a wink. But what's
the use of keeping up this farce"

stating his name and address, the business
that had brought him to Singapore, and ex-
planning how he had been lured to the
bungalow.

THE BABY wASP.S FOOD.
1t is Provided by the Mother I'm q
Wonderful Way.

From the Chautauquan.
The wasp is not vegetarian like the bee
| and our cement-maker has before her the
problem of supplying her young with meat
rather than with bread. AS her eggs are
laid out in hot weather and as enough food
| must be stored in the cell with the egg to
mature the young insect. the question is
how to preserve the meat fresh for so long
time. She meets the difficulty thus: At
ter a tube is finished except one end, which
is left open, she flies off on a hunt for
spiders. She finds fat healthy one,
pounces upon IT, stings 1t. and carries it
OFF and places it in the mud cell. She re-
peats ttis process until she has placed as
many spiders in the tube as, according to
her judgment, will be needed. She then
lays an egg in the cell and walls up tho
opening.
The remarkable thing about this perform
ance Is the magic effect of her sting.
Whether it is the result of a subtle poison
OF whether Ii Is special spot in the
spiders nervous system where the sting is
| inserted we do not know. Certain IL is that
after being thus stung the spider lives on
in a p2ralyzed condition for weeks and
even months 1t move only slightly
and remains helpless in its mud sepulchre
until the wasp egg matches into a voracious
grub which at once falls to and eats with
great relish the meat thus miraculously
preserved.
Nhclner tne wasp sung renders the
spider insensible to pain or not is a ques-
ton not yet settled However the chances
are in favor of the theory that ii does.
Anyway, We need waste no sympathy on
the spider the most bloodthirsty of all the
little people of the fields and woods. There
is a sense of retributive justice in the
thought Of a spider helpless and at the
mercy of a small insect which IL would
have mercilessly devoured had il been able.
So we need not accuse our alert, indus
trious cement-maker of any unreasonable
cruelty If She like us, insists upon a meat
diet for her young, nor need We have any
fear Of her sting. for she seldom uses " ~
a weapon Of offense or defense.

outcry and mapping their course on the
dirty floor with streaks of blood. For a
moment Quin looked on. helpless and fas-
cinated. shrinking invountarly nearer to

Then the spell was broken, and suddenly
