WHAT A WOMAN NURSE SAID
A Friend Told Her Some Things About

COnflic!ed,
WHAT A WOMAN NURSE SAID

Samuel Phillips, who was deprived of
his liberty a few weeks ago on the sup
position that he shot and killed old
Fritz" Schwade in Whisky gulch on
May II, 1897, was discharged from Gus
tody today at the request of the county
attorney. Phillips proved an alibi-he
was in Spokane at the time the murder
was committed.
Evidently the murderer Of Schwade
bears a strong resemblance to Phillips
and vice versa, for several men who saw
the real article and Phillips are almost
positive that they are one and the same
person. There is one difference, how
ever, and this feature may yet lead to
the capture of the murderer. In describ-
ing the man seen going in the direction
of Schwade's cabin just before the fatal
shot was fired a resident of Whisky
gulch by the name of Fuller stated that
he had a scar on the right side of his
face and another on his neck. Phillips
bears neither of these distinctive marks,
but otherwise he answers to returns made
on the killer.
There is another story in connection
with the affair which has not been made
public. Shortly after Phillips was ar
rested a woman nurse called on the
county attorney and stated that another
woman, a friend of Phillips, had told hel
that along about the time was
murdered Phillips was at her house, but
left suddenly, saying before starting ina
he had made a stake gambling and was
going away Immediately. Prior to thai
he had been there and was then wearing
a suit of old clothing, but on his return
he had on better apparel and Vas carry
ing a valise.
The county attorney called on the wo'
man to whose credit this story was
placed, but did not learn very much
The woman admitted having said some
thing of the kind to the nurse, but adde
that the date was MUNICIPALITIES having
ben at her house during the year before
the murder.
1t is also alleged that on one occasion
Phillips sat in the kitchen of his woman
friends house and asked those about him
if he looked like a murderer.

divorce from Seymour Carroll in Judge
Clancy's court this morning. 1t was q

BEEF COURT STILL BEEPING.
Chief Surgeon DAILY Closely Questioned, and
His Testimony Suspended Until the :
Qhicago Packers Are on Hand.

Washington, Feb. 22.-When the
court of inquiry to investigate the army
beef controversy met this morning, Col
onel Davis, the recorder announced that
the examination of witnesses so far
summoned, was about concluded. The
court went.into secret session to consider
further procedure. When the session
concluded, DR.. II. DAILY, major and
chief surgeon, of volunteers during the
war, who testified before the war board
that he discovered by chemical analysis,
boracic and salycylic acid in the refrig-
Grated beef furnished army, was in
terrogated with great care developing
with minuteness all of Daly's duties.
Colonel Davis questioned witness
closely in regard to the source and
character of his orders, evidently with
view to the bearing these developments
might have upon his analysis and report
upon the beef. Dr. Daly's testimony
was soon suspended in order that the
Chicago packers might be represented,
when he was examined specifically as to
his report alleging that the beef was
chemically prepared.

THE HOUSE
Chairman Sherman overruled the point
of order against the armor plate provi-

directly against the increased price.
Mr.. Underwood (Ala) proposed the ap-
preparation of $4,000, 900 for a govern
ment armor plate plant.
Mr.. Bailey the Democratic leader,
asked unanimous consent that Wash

being no objection, the speaker directed
the clerk to read it. At the conclusion
there was hearty applause from the
floor and gallaries. The conference
agreement on the legislafss approprfa-

Uncle Sam Taking a Hand.

Washington, Feb. s2.-Apparently at
the instance Of the Nicaraguan govern
ment, such censorship has been applied to
the cable and telegraph lines controlled
by President Zelaya, that it has been
for the State or Navy de-
partments to communicate with their
agents. Protests are of no avail Com
mander j. H. Dayton has been ordered
to proceed with his vessel, the cruiser
Detroit, from New Orleans to Bluefields,
Nicaragua, where he will consult with
Commander F. M. Symonds, command
ing the Marietta, and deliver the in
structions the Navy department has
been vainly trying to send by cable.
The Detroit will then proceed to Grey
town, where Commander Dayton will
investigate Nicaragua's peculiar action.
Commander Symonds will remain at
Bluefields, the center of the revolution,
to provide protection to American citi-
Zens and interests.

DESTRUCTION OF COOLING MOTH.
Amendments to Agricultural Laws Neces-
sary- Situation in Mesilla Valley
Snggestians Made.

James H. Bailey. the well known
horticuIturist and secretary of the
Mesilla Valley Horticultural Society,
writes to Hon. l.. b. Prince, president
of the Territorial Society, as follows, re-
garding the necessity for legislation to
enable fruit growers to cope with the
codling moth and other Injurious in
sects. He says:
'We must have amendments to our
agricultural law to enable us to destroy
one crop of fruit, or we will have to cut
down our orchards and SOW the land to
alfalfa. and the future of our valley is
nil. With such amendments and with
strict quarantine laws, in few years
VIC would have the richest valley in the
United States. This valley was fast
coming to the front as a fruit growing
section, and just now when all our big
orchards are coming into bearing to
have it all DESTROYED by insect pests that
we can successfully fight in only one
way, is very aggravating. So much is at
stake to individuals and the territory at
large that we certainly ought to obtain
protection. 1t means life or death
financially to as good class of citizens
as New Mexico possesses. If we are
driven from the territory it will be
difficult to find others to take our places
in horticultural pursuits.
