the criminal court clerliship for Bun
combe county. having been advanced
on the Supreme Court docket wos ar
gued yesterday. The plaintiff. Wilson,
was represented by Lusk &c Carter, of
AshHillc. The case for the defend

filed by Moore & Moore and Carter e
Weaver, of Ashevlle;
The facts in the case rs brought out
tA tie RIts3.nent are about as follows:
Tie Legislature Of 1895 established
criminal court composed of Buncombe.
Madison, Haywood and Henderson, and
in accordance with the provisions of the
net the plaintiff. w. IL. Wilson. was at
the next gcnera' clcc;iun chosen as

II would seem from this that the SUI

MeXiCo'S Gold Loan.
Philadelphia Record


Mexico has given a new sign of finan-
cial prosperity in preparing to refund
the debt of the republic in per cent
gold loan. This will also be a step to
the complete establishment in that
country of the gold standard. Silver
is the only currency in Mexico: yet the
fact that one silver dollar.of the United
States can buy as much there as can
be bought for two Mexican silver dol
lars shows that the world recognized
standard of gold prevails there as else
where. This Is true of all other silver
countries. They may set up any arbi-
trary standard of currency they please,
but their monetary transactions must
conform in the long run to the univer-
sal stand ard of gold. Yet, in the face
of all experience, the organs and the
Altgelds still cling to the belief that
the American people are willing to
drag the standard of money down to
the low level of cheap silver, and thus
put their monetary system out of &C
cord with that of all other great COM
mercial nations. If the silver dema-
gogues could only be convinced that
the country was opposed to their poll
cy. how quickly they would change
their base! It seems that another cleo
tion Or two will be necessary to bring
them to reason.

Mike said:
"Faith, if you had kept that dog in

A WEEPING WOMAN
MOurned and Would Not be Comfort
ed Ever Since Big Foot Harry

Ever since the death of big Foot
Harry Barr at the bands of "Six
Shooter Smith occurred q week ago,
Jennie Worley, dance hall girl, has
been plunged in grief.
She wept aud mourned Historically
for q time and then undertook to drown
her sorrow with alcohol. She kept
this up until yesterday evening when
Officer Rogers concluded it was time
to put stop to the mourner's demon
strations of violent sorrow, so he
hauled her off to the huz and she
spent the night in q cage.
"Big Foot" Harry Barr came here
from Denver. His mother lived in
Iowa and was woman OF constdera BILE
social prominence, and his wife resides
in Arizona. He was married to a
Mexican woman and she came here q
few days ago to Investigate the killing.
Barr received occasional remittances
from both his mother and wife, and
whenever he received money he usual
ly went on a drunk. When drunk 1t
was his custom to hire q livery stable
buggy and drive continuously until his
money gave out and his Jag wore of.
Barr made his living any old way.
He took pride in being able to bunco
young country boys out of their money.
His methods were unique. Only a
short time before his arrest he was be-

CARL BAD ITEMS
Abundant Rains Throughout the
Valley.-Large Yield of Sugar
BeetS.-HorSe Thieves Again
About.-A Good Showing For
the pecos Valley Road.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
| CARLSBAD, N. M, July 22:-Abund-
ant rains have fallen throughout the
length of the valley during the past few
days and have extended east into the
Staked Plains country. Stock water
is now plentiful throughout the ranges
and an abundance of grass in most
sections is assured for the entire sea-
| son.
Four inches fell on the Goth at Ros-
we'll in about as many hours. With
the exception of the loss of small
bridge on the railroad, ten miles this
side of Pecos, and the softening of
about Quarter of mile of track the
road suffered no damage and the trains,
with the exception of delay of some
six hours, got through on time. This
appears to be a very creditable show
ing for the Pecos valley road, as from
reports of roads operating east of there
it is learned that the delays were OF
such character that several trains
had to be cancelled altogether and
mail and express matter delayed from
thirty to fOuty hours.
These abundant rains have been Of
the greatest benefit here, and the yield
of sugar beets will soon no doubt ex-
coed the estimates made few weeks
ago.
Horse thieves are again operating in
the valley. Deputy Sheriff Lee Clark
brought in Mexican this week from
Toyah creek, who had two horses in
