BODY NOT IDENTIFIED.
No One Seems to Know the Old
Man Killed Yesterday.
Not Even His Name Is Known
The Accident Was Un-
avoIdable.

Up to So'clock this afternoon no one
had appeared In evidence TO claim or
identity the body Of the aged native
who was killed at noon yesterday by
the second section of No. "a freight
train. The body was removed last
evening to Blehl's undertaking rooms,
where it has been reviewed by several
persons. Cleofas Romero, deputy sher-
iff, was one of those who saw the
corpse last evening and after some
hesitancy stated that he thought it was
the body of farmer who lives at San
Jose, a settlement near the railroad
station of Rowe Inasmuch as nothing
further was heard from Mr.. Romero, it
is taken for granted that he has since
concluded that he was mistaken IN the
identification.
Not even the name OF the dead man
is known with any certainty. The
coroner'sjury stated that his name is
Agapito Duran. 1t is just as reason
able--and even more SOTO assume
that his name was Moretio Rosa, mas
much as the latter is the name that ap-
pears on the Identification card found
on his person. The name Jf Duran
was found on scrap of paper but there
were other scraps of paper 10 his poe.
kets at the same time, bearing other
names.
The coroner's jury concluded its
labors last evening by bringing in the
following verdict:
We, the undersigned, justice of the
peace and jury who sat upon the in
quest held this Oath day of August, A.
ID. 1899, on the body of unknown imam
supposed to be Agapito Duran, found
in precinct No. 80 of the county of san
Miguel, territory of New Mexico, find
that the deceased came to his death by
reason of being run over by the second
section of No. 81, a freight train COM
ing north on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway company track this
24th day of August, A. ID. 1899.

tached to anyone but the deceased, IL

The evidence clearly showed that the

whistle and bell of the approaching en-

hear either and probably never realized

STORY OF THE TElcoLoR.
When the Flag Was First Adopted In

When tho Flag Was First Adopted In
The exaltation of the red, white and
blue in France came in 1889, when, on
the 14th of July, civic guard of 49,
900 men was raised and the colors OF
the arms OF Paris were adopted. The
white galley on a red field, with three
golden fieur-de-lis on a blue stripe.
were converted, at the instigation OF
Lafayette, into the tricolor, the white
to signify the inheritance of the Bour-
bon flag. For over a century 1t has
been the flag of France, as the Ma
poleons of the first and second empire
only placed an eagle on the white strip
and covered with golden bees the RED
and the blue. But even over what
seems the simple arrangement OF the
three colors there has been much
haggling and changing. The stripes
are vertical, and in 1890 it was decreed
that red should be placed next the
staff; four and half years later tine
hoist must be blue, the center White
the fly red," was the order of the ma
tional assembly. In 1S48 this much
ado about nothing" was perpetuated
by the order of the provisional gov
eminent, "blue, red, white but two
days later the flag came back to LAS
you were," in spite of very general
feeling for the return of the oritiamme,
or plain red flag. Louis Blanc and
many others were in favor of it, but
Lamartine most eloquently opposed Its
adoption in his famous speech: "Cltl-
zens, 1 will reject even unto death thu:
banner of blood, and you should repu-
date it still more than myself, fer
this red flag you offer us has only
made the circuit of the Champs de
Mars bathed in the blood of the peo-
pie, while the tricolor has made the
circuit of the world with the name, the
glory, and the liberty of your coun-
try" and so carried his point. In de-
Tense, Louis Blanc recalled that La
fayette, good republican, had, in
1889, associated the royal white with
the Partisan red and blue, but that nc
vestige of royal power was now want
ed; and, at last, compromise was ef-
fected by placing a red rosette on the
MISUNDERSTANDING Ledger.

LEGAL VALUE or A KISS.

Kentucky Court Declares $7O0 Not
Too High, IL Not Cheapened by
H0bson.
The Kentucky court Of appeals to-
day decided that 500 was not an ex-
ceesive price to pay for kissing q mar
ried woman against her will. William
Ragsdale, q citizen Of Trigg county,
called on his neighbOr, James Ezell.
The neighbor was away from home,
but his wife was there, and she looked
so pretty that Ragsdale just: could not
resist the temptation, so he grabbed her
and stole several kisses.
Mrs. Ezell told her husband, and was
Frustrated for several days from the
effects of the neighborly hugging and
kissing.
Instead of making a gunplay for the
kisser, Col. Ezell Joined his wife in a
suit for $4,000 damages. On the trial
Ragsdale swore he never kissed her or
touched her, but Mrs. Ezell said he
did, and the jury believed the woman
and gave her verdict for $500.
Ragsdale appealed the case, and in
the decision handed down by Judge
Guffy, Of the court of appeals, to-day,
the court holds, as matter of law,
that the jury, being the judge Of the
credibility Of witnesses, and having
found in favor of the woman, the court
would not disturb the verdict.
After the judges left the bench Judge
Guffy said that he thought 500 was
tritle dear. but the court of last resort
was powerless to cut down the price,
as no error was committed in the trial
below. He also said that he had In
sisted that the court allow him to in
clude in his opinion statement to the
effect that in such suits hereafter the
woman must prove clearly that she
had never kissed Hobson, and disap-
proved Of all such public kissings; but
the majority of the judges, while they
agree to this proposition, thought it
best not to include it in the present
opinion.
So it is of semi-oficial record that
the kentucky court Of appeals is dead
against the Hobson style of OSCILLATION,
and really believes that $500 per kiss is
a fair price.-Frankfort (Ky.) Special.

SNOBBERY IN AMERICA.
The Smart Set Il Not Composed of the
Best People.

During the last twenty years our
period of awakening in regard to the
usages of civilized countries, with the
result that the public point of view
has been astonishingly readjusted,
says Scribner's. The people are, so to
speak, tumbling over each other in
their haste to adopt old-world social
customs, and the paragrapher who
tells us that the wife of the chief mag
istrate wears blue novelty silk waists
to the theater, made by one of her IA
miliar friends, makes point of assur-
ing us that the dressmaker in question
is herself ga leading society woman
Our public press is rife with society
cant and society gossip and justifies the
practice on the plea that the plain
people are absorbed in the contempla-
ton of the doings and the dresses Of
those whom they know only by hear.
say, even as an Englishwoman will run
the risk of apoplexy in order to catch
passing glimpse of her sovereign. OF
this appetite for social tittle-tattle the
wealthy class seems disposed to take
every advantage, pluming itself on its
new importance to the point where ii
is constantly trying to devise some
new extravaganza or inanity. But this
is not the spirit of the United States
nor are these the best Americans. Our
nation is strange is this respect. We
wear our faults upon our sleeves, or
rather, We suffer surface population
to belle us in various walks of life
That is the reason why the foreigners
who come over here and try to amass
the materials for book in few
months fail to understand us as we
really are. They are led by superficial
ly prominent indications to believe
many things which are true only Of a
limited portion of the population, and
they fail to perceive the sturdiness of
character, the independence of view
and the social charm which distinguish
a large and constantly increasing por-
ton of the American people, who are
neither extravagant plutocrats nor vul-
gar braggarts and despisers of civilized
practices.
