His name is McGinnis and he was
badly wounded in the fight with the

supposed he had been fatally wounded
and it was generally thought that he
had been carried to some hiding place
and had died there.
His partner, who succeeded In escap-

ports from the posse which started in

GABALDON'S
SHORTAGE
1915
Suit Against the Bondsmen is
Now Being Heard
Here.
SHORTAGE is ABOUT $4,000
Proving 1t VIII be a Tedious
Process. Lasting About
Thirty Days.

The suit against the bondsmen of ex-
County Collector Carlos Gabaldon was
commenced this morning before Special
Commissioner Davis, appointed by
Chief Justice Mills for. the purpose.
The bondsmeD and Mr.. Gabaldon were
represented by Judge Long and Captain
Fort and the territory by District At
torney Spiess, assisted by Captain Reid
on behalf of the East Las Vegas school
board. Some delay was experienced
this morning aud the session of court
did not begin until about IL o'clock, ad-
journing at noon for lunch. The after
noon session lasted from 2 to $3.50
o'clock.
The first witness introduced was
Frank Roy, an expert who was hired
by the county commissioners to inves-
tigate the books of the collector. Mr..
Roy brought the cash book covering
the business of the collectors office for
term of two years, commencing in
January, 1895. During that time Mr..
Gabsldon employed two deputies in the
persons of Cleofas Romero and Tran
quilino Labsdie.
During the afternoon session Charley
Shirk, deputy county clerk, was called
to the witness stand to prove that the
original bond given by Gabaldon was
duly recorded in the county records.
The fact Is not generally known that
the original bond has been lost-when
or how, nobody seems to know. The
law provides that in such cases the re-
cord may be introduced as proof of
the bond itself.
Gabaldon's shortage is supposed to
reach about $4,000 and in proving it,
item after item must be taken from
the books of the office. 1t can be seen
that the process will be a very tedious
one and the proceedings will be long
drawn out, probably lasting upwards of
thirty days.
Gabaldon's bond was signed by about
sixty residents of San Miguel county.
many of whom have died, become bank
rupt or otherwise relieved from liabil-
ity. There are enough good signatures
on the original bond, it is said, to make
good the shortage.

Crops in New Mexico.

The territory as whole is blest this
season with aluxuriant growth of grass
and crops are doing well, with the ex-
ception of a few localities. The farm
ers on the Rio Grande from Belen south
to El Paso have suffered considerably,
there being but very little rain and the
river being too low to irrigate to adj
vantage Owing to the late rains in
the Mora and Seballa valleys, there will
be only one-haf the wheat and oats
crop that was raised last year. Santa
Fe county has suffered probably more
than any other section in the ter ritory
the rains coming too late to make any
thing but grass.

WILD RIOTS IN PARIS.
The Church of St. Joseph Pillaged by a
Mob Of Anarchists.

PARIS, August 2l.-Paris was yester-
day the scene of serious riots, perpe-
trated by the anarchists and socialists,
who gathered at o'clock in the after
noon In the Place de la Republique in
response to appeals of their papers. The
police endeavored to repulse them and
during the confusion M. Coulter, COM
missary of police was twice stabbed
with knife.
An attack was made by the mob on
the church of st. Joseph, the massive
oaken doors being broken down. The
mob madly pillaged the inside of the
sacred edifice, smashing altars and sta
tues, rendiDg pictures and tramping on
candlesticks, ornaments and the hosts
from off the high affairs. The crucifix
and the statue of the virgin were torn
down and cast in fire In the square
fronting the church. The police began
to gain the mastery and numerous ar
rests of armed anarchists were made III
An endeavor was made to burn the
church of St Joseph and the night fol
lowing was the scene of numerous dis
orders.
From today on all churches will be
guarded by plckets OF the Republican
guards. Detachments of infantry and
cavalry will be held in readiness for
eyentuaIities. The damage done by
rioters to the church of st. Joseph is
estimated at 5000 francs.
