ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
One of the Vilest Plots Ever Con-
COG ed In the Brain of d Human
Ejond

1t is to be hoped that O;ero county
Is not going to earn the reputation for
conspirscies and disappearances SO
long held by Dona A ma.
The editor of the Alamogordo News
complains as follows:
A statement was made in our pre-
sence one day this week, that should it
prove true is one Of the vilest plots
ever concocted IN the brain of human
fend. The relator stated that he had
been urged to assassinate a prominent
attorney of this city.
The motive seems to have been slm-
ply a case of venomous malignity. The
party who it is alleged sought to have
THE black deed com mitted holds q fe-
deral Office.
The case Is being worked up and
arrests will soon follow.
In connection with this alleged plot,
we desire 20 state that should this
statement be verified the guilty par
ties will be made an example of in the
courts;,it would appear that the same
corrupt influences that predominant in
Santa Fee and Las Cruces are gaining
favor in this place.

The Dam Decision.

Referring to the recent dam case
the Dona Ana Repu blican says: The
allegation upon which the application
for Injunction was based-in the case
of the Elephsn. Butte Dam Co.-was
that the Rio Grande is navigable not
only along its lower course but also
from Ell Paso to La Joya, about 100
miles above Elephant Butte.
The decision occupies twelve pages,
the contents of which appear ridicul-
ous ~ Inhabitants along the river,
who are in the habit of wearing smok-
ed goggles TO keep the glare of the dry
sandy bed of the channel from running
their eyesight-
And still the effect of the decision
may have prepared these people for q
surprise, for almost any morning man
Of war might navigate through the
sand from Ell Paso, or raft of wood
be Inysteriously hoated down the dry
cHarnel
T. was alleged IN the decision that
the dam would so deplete and prevent
the flow of water as to seriously OBJ
struct the navigable capacity of the
said river throughout its entire
course.

City, Iowa, makes q comparison be-
tween the number of trainmen on the
railroads Of the United States who
were killed and injured during the
last year and the number OF soldiers
who were killed, wounded or died Of
disease during the war. During the
year ended June 30, 1898, 162, SIS train
men were employed. OF these 1,07s
were killed while In the performance
Of their duty and 1885 were injured,
which gives a percentage Of .OOe5
.o97 injured. The whole number OF
soldiers In the army did not at any
time exceed $4,000. OF these 2,6a4
we're killed or died of disease, which
number was .ooes per cent of the
wholei and 1850 were wounded,
which was .0O5s per cent Of the
whole. In other words, one out Of
every 152 trainmen was killed and one
out Of every ten was injured, while In
the army one soldier out Of every I01
was either killed or died Of disease,
while one out Of every 16o soldiers
was injured.
