The many friends of our late
townsman J. H. Hughes, will learn
with regret of his unexpected death.
A letter was received by his friend
Robert Laughlin this morning,
from j. II. Wayland of Plainview
Tex, bearing date of June 18th,
which says: j. H. Hughes, form
erly of your place died here yester-
day. His wife and children are
well and will return toward your
place"
Our readers will remember that
Mr.. Hughes sold out everything
he had in ArdmOre, even to his
residence property and household
effects only a short time back, and
with his family was proceeding
overland to New Mexico is quest
of regaining his health. Mr.
Hughes had suffered for years with
rheumatism but whether death SC
unexpected was caused from this
we are unable to state.
The family have the profound
sympathy of the community here
where they were highly respected
by all who knew them.

A Regent RESIGNS.

To-day Governor Otero accepted the
resignation Of Hon. Henry D. Bowman,
one of the regents of the agricultural
college at Mesilla Park. The cause of
the resignation is that section 1854 Of the
Revised Statutes Of the United States
makes it illegal for any one to hold two
offices, one under the United States
government and also one under the ter
ritorial government. Mr.. Bowman is
register Of the United States land Of
flee at Las Cruces. This provision of
the statutes has not before been con-
strued as excluding federal officials
from occupying the position Of regent
Of the institution, and Governor Otero
has but followed the custom Of former
governors in permitting it, but the
question was recently raised, and he at
once took action looking to compliance
with the law A successor to Mr.. Bow
man will probably be chosen about
September 2.

AN OMAHA MYSTERY.
A Woman Who Met Mysterious Death
From Fracture of Skull.

Omaha, Neb., August pa woman
whose identity is a mystery was found
dead on the pavement of Park avenue
this morning. The doctors say she had
been dead several hours, and death re-
suited from a fracture of the skull, evil
IDENTIFY caused by a fall on the sidewalk.
All the people of the vicinity know is
that about II o'clock last night they
heard a woman scream and saw bug
gy passing, in which were man and
a woman. The man was lashing the
horse into run and holding the wom-
an, who was standing up and evidently
trying to jump out of the buggy. There
is at present no clew to the identity of
the dead woman or the man with her.
She is well dressed, and evidently a
woman of refinement. The street where
she was found is in the heart of the
best residence section.

FRESH FROM The FRONT.
Two Prospectors Tell Of the Yaqui situa-
ton,

Guaymas, Mex, Aug. 25, via Nogales,
Ariz., Aug. 29.-G. H. Lacey Of Phoenix,
Ariz.. and E. r. Walter Meyer of Chi
cago, sent by Chicago principals to
prospect in and beyond the Yaqui
country, arrived at Guaymas last night
from Potam, Yaqui village in the
midst of the recent Indian conflict.
Lacey says neither people nor property
north of Yaqui river were in any
danger and prospecting and mining
could be conducted with absolute safe
ty. All the fighting Indians were in
the brush and jungles south of the
river, and were gradually taking the
women and children and supplies to the
mountains. In the village of Potam
were 800 concentrates and 100 Mexi-
cans. At no time during his stay, he
said, could the Indians have been pre-
vented from taking the town and
the inhabitants. He says
he saw six Yaquis slat and he knows
of the execution Of 40 us so more.
