Court DoInss.

1
The case of the People vs. VIM.
McNelly, tried at the last term Of
court, for stealing a COW, valued
from SIS to $40. came up Wednes-
day for a re-trial, the jury at the
last trial having failed to agree.
The evidence on the part of the
state showed that the COW was
driven from Canero and put into II
pasture of Aug. Weiss near Del
Norte and was sold to one Fulling-
ton for Sl2 and WAS afterward re-
plevied by L. p. l.. Valdez, and
the prosecution rested its case
without showing that the theft, il
such there WAS, took place in this
county and Mr.. Veerksmp, attor-
ney for the defendant, moved to
have the case dismissed, where
upon the prosecuting attorney
asked leave to reopen the case aud
supply the fatal omission. Here
Gen. Bloomfield came to the res.
cue of the prose cution and said
such proceeding was within the
discretion of the court, whereupon
the judge allowed the prosecuting
attorney to introduce the required
evidence.
Defence testified his mother had
n small herd of cattle, and COW
OF the color and description of the
one in controversy which had been
lost some three years, that while
driving n bunch of cattle from Sa-
guache he espied this COW and
thinking it was his mothers took
it along with him and when near
town 1t got away aud got into Mr.
Weiss pasture; that on account of
is wild nature his mother desired
to sell the COW and the boy applied
to two cHttlemen to buy it and
finally sold for SD. The buyer
threw the COW and discovered a
different brand from the one in
his bill of sale aud it proved the
COW belonged to Valdez. The
buyer then demanded the return
of his money and quite an addi.
tional amount for his trouble. ms
the mother of the boy said $75.
This the woman refused to pay bu,
offered another COW and calf in.
stead. which he refused and had a
complaint filed.
Under the evidence the jury re.
turned verdict of not guilty.

ter Of Sl2 has put the county Il

ACETYLENE GAS
Far Safer Than Other Illuminating

"That's all rot about acetylene gas
being more dangerous than any other
kind" said . business man this morn

"All gas Is explosive and is deadly
in its effects unless properly handled.
Only few days ago q plumber and
another citizen of Ell Paso were badly
burned at house on North Kansas

"Any gas is highly explosive, but the
old gas companies which are charging
exhorbitant prices for very inferior
lights are constantly endesvoring to
prejudice the minds of the people
against any other lighting material
that will interfere with their mono
poly.
''There have been hundreds of people
killed by the explosion of lamps as we'll
as by gas,and hotel visitors everywhere
are constantly being suffocsted by
their bed rooms filling with escaping
coal gas. Where acetylene gas in .
given period has destroyed one victim,

HORRIBLY
MANGLED
Brakeman Fred Ruckman OF
the G. H. And S. A. Run
Over at Maria.
DEATH INSTANTANEOUS.

Had Been In the Employ of the G, II. For q
Number of Years.-Served During the
War In CaptAin'Hart's Company,-Wen
Known In This City.-WnI Be Buried
Tomorrow.
While switching cars in the G. II.
yards at Maria last night about half
past seven O'Clock, Brakeman Fred w.
Ruckman, who has been q resident OF
this city for many years, was instantly
killed. his body being horribly man
gled.
They were making up an extra
freight in the yards and young Ruck-
man was standing in the rear of q fiat
car. In some manner not known, the
car jumped the track and Ruckman
was hurled off and thrown beneath the
wheels, q pair of trucks passing over
his body.
The train, which was in charge of
Conductor Daley, brought the body to
the city this morning and it was i'm
mediately removed to 807 North Stan
ton street, the home of Ruckman's
mother.
Mr.. Buchanan was we'll and favorably
road circles. He had been in the en-
ploy of the G. II. & S. A. for number
of years il various capacities.
When the war with Spain broke out
Ruckman severed his connection
with the railroad and enlisted in
Harris company of immunes and ia
ined the rank of sergeant. On his re-
turn home he again entered the en-
ploy OF the railway company.
Mr.. Ruckman was a member of the
Brotherhood of r. r. Trainmen. and
carried large insurance on his life.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row from his late residence on North
Stanton street at 10 o'clock. The
Brotherhood will have charge of the
funeral.
Rev. A. M. Lumpkin will preach the
funeral service and the interment will
be in Concordia cemetery. The de-
ceased leaves mother, sister and
brother-in-law; Mr.. A. Chesney, who
was on the same train which run over
RuckmanSon.
The. G.. 81. flag was at half mast to-
day in the plaza, flying from the plaza
flag pole. The reason for this was
that the G, n. boys have no pole
standing at the present time, as it was
dug up few days ago for removal new
the water tank.

after our welfare, and read many OF

pectors.
''Our camp is exactly "a miles from
Moctezuma and nine miles from the
Yaqui river. We are at least 250
miles from the hostile country and do
not believe there is the least danger of
the Indian raiders invading the noun
tains for half that distance.
There are fully 500 American pros
pectors in the mountains not far from
not one OF them has heard of the Yaqui
disturbance. Should the Indians re-
treat TO the mountains in force, these
would be taken completely off their
guard and fall an easy prey to the raid
ers.
1.-THE people at Moctezuma are not
excited in the least and say that the
American prospectors have nothing to
fear from the Indians, on account of
the distance which separates them
from the country where the uprising
occurred, which Is far down on the
