he had been as a delegate to the grand

sion was granted to separate them
selves from Colorado. AS a consequence

The subordinate lodges in New Mex

question of establishing this new grand

will sanction the segregation of the
New Mexico and Arizona lodges from
the jurisdiction as at present estab-
lished, and which includes Colorado. A
convention will then be held in the fall

proper effort, secure the convention to
meet here.

designations, AL Lynch, of Leadville,
was elected grand foreman, F. M. Rob-
erts grand overseer, and DR.. w. H. Da-

HAD NO JURISDICTION.
Suit Gould Not Be Maintained in Santa Fe
County.

In the proceedings against Henry G.
coors, Petrolino Lucero and Catarino
Romero, commissioners of San Miguel
county and their bondsmen, Judge Nc
Fie has decided in favor of the defense.
Although the opinion has not been for
mally filed yet, it will be as soon as
Judge McFie returns from Las Cruces.
This suit was brought in the name of
the territory by Solicitor General Bart
lett to recover for breaches of the bonds
of the officials, chiefly the unlawful re-
batting of taxes, by which claim was
made the territory was injured to the
extent of $50, 900. On behalf of the de-
PENDANTS Messrs. Veeder & Veeder APP
on the ground of lack of jurisdiction in
the court of Santa Fe county. and that,
as defendants did not reside in Santa
Fe county, they should have been sued
only in San Miguel county, where they
reside. The plaintiffs insisted that this
was not a local but a transitory action,
and that the legal residence of the ter
ritory, the plaintiff, was the capital, the
statute providing that transitory ac-
tions may be brought in the county
where either plaintiff or defendant re-
sides.
The court held that suits against
county officials and their bondsmen, al
though in the nam of the territory,
should have been brought in the county
where the officers resided, and the So
licitor general should assist a district
attorney only if called upon to do so by
the governor. it being the duty of the
district attorney to attend to such mat
tiers. There was but one officer who
could be sued at the territorial capital
when this action was brought. BY stat
utory provision delinquent "a collect
ors should be sued at the capital by the
solicitor general, or at the place of res
idence of such officer. The case was
dismissed.

A Murder in Eddy County.

Near Malaga, seven miles below Eddy,
j. H. Carpenter was fatally shot by w.
G. Cass. Carpenter went to Cass to tell
him of pulling his yearling out of the
mud in the canal. Cass in return for
the kindness commenced to abuse Car
penter about a land claim which had
been in dispute, Mrs. Carpenters mother
having filed upon it. Carpenter main
tanned that he was not responsible for
this, and started to drive off. Cass
pulled a s%ix-shooter and shot Carpenter
In the side. The latter was thrown out
of his cart by the horse whirling round
and Cass fired two more shots at him,
but missed. Several M%exicans carried
Carpenter to a school house nearby,
where he wrote a statement detailing
the circumstances, and after going home
made a complete statement in the pres
ence of witnesses. Carpenter lived only
five hours after being shot.

Postmaster Said to Have Gone.

Young Trinidad Romero, late post
master at Wagon Mound, hired a team
from Clay & Owens a few days ago and
skipped the country under very ugly
circumstances. What became of the liv-
cry rig is as yet unknown, but Romero,
al last reports, was in the state Of Chi
huahua, Mex. Warrants are out for his
arrest on various charges, but as the
new %extradition treaty has not yet been
ratified by the Mexican government, it
is doubtful If he can be brought back
unless he chooses to come voluntarily

Accidentally Shot.

A curious accident occurred on q Pc
cos Valley & Northeastern train the
other day. A printer named Scott, was
examining a Winchester gun belonging
to route agent Carson when 1t was accid-
entally discharged. The load of No. 4
shot passed through the back Of o car
seat, through the partition in the a
and through the back of another car
seat and struck Charles Frollinger the
new agent, who was lying down. The
shot struck the back portion of his
thigh and ranged twelve inches down
the back Of his leg. DIR. Pierson, the
company surgeon, cut a lot Of gun wad-
ding, splinters and rags from Trolling
er's clothing and dressed the injuries
which will not result in gripping Frol-
linger.

Bond Brothers Insurance.

Charles r. West. Judge c. w. Potter,
w. L. Miller, M. V. b. Benson, all of
Denver, and Edward Henry, Of Las We
gas, who had been at Espanola adjusting
the fire loss and insurance of Bond
Brothers, were guests at the Palace
yesterday. They were accompanied to
Santa Fe by Frank Bond, of Espanola.
The loss was not as high as at first esti.
mated. The loss on the stock was $40,-
900, insurance, $32, 700; loss on store
buildings, m of the four not being in
sured, So, 225; insurance, $4,000. As this
is distributed between II companies the
loss of each is light. The insurance adj
~justers expressed themselves very highly
to treatment accorded them by the
Bond Brothers, who were very fair In
their demands. Edward Henry. of Las
Vegas, and Charles Il. West, of Denver,
returned home last evening.
The adjustment of the insurance took
only a day, as the books of Bond Bros.
were in splendid shape, and kept very
accurately, and the insurance policies
were written in so accurate a manner.

JOHN SMITHS HEIRS In LUCK.
They Will Receive $4,000 from the Fed
eral Treasury for Alleged Injustice Done,

When Major General Brooke, United
States army, was lieutenant colonel of
the Sd infantry in 1867, h. was in com
mand at Fort Union, Mora county,
which the government abandoned IA
years ago. There was considerable law
lessness prevailing in the territory at
the time, and the commanding officer at
the fort took a hand in Furnishing evil
doors. In carrying out this policy he
arrested one John Smith and Andrew
Cameron, and locked them up in the
guard Gus on a charge of selling
liquor and conducting themselves in an
unseemly fashion. Smith filed a bill Of
exceptions to the summary way in
which he was treated, and sued Lieu
tenant Colonel Brooke for $3256.75, cov-
ering property alleged to have been lost
in consequence Of his incarceration, and
for $40, 900 exemplary damages.
Brooke notified the government of the
suit, n an attorney was appointed
from Washington to protect Lieutenant
Colonel Brooke and the governments
interests. But the attorney died with
out the knowledge of the commanding
officer of Fort Union, and the case went
against Brooke by default. Brooke had
no visible assets on which to levy, and
the case was referred to congress. In
1894 an allowance of $500 0 was granted
to the Smiths by congress, conditional
upon a claim for the money being made
within 80 days after the passage of the
act. Smith had died in 1882, and for the
time existence of the judgment was for
gotten by the family. However, later,
heard his father remark that there was
something good for them in New Mex
leo, and the matter, being traced UP, the
judgment was found. Congress was PEE
titioned again, explanations were made,
and Congressman Shaffroth, of Colora-
do, placed in charge of the case. The PEI
tition was successful, and Christopher
Smith, one of the heirs, was made adj
ministrator, such action being neces-
| sary before the government would pay
| the claim. The heirs are Christopher
| Smith, John Smith and William Smith,
| engaged in business at Denver.
The attorneys who secured the judg-
ment against Brooke in the first place
were Kirby Benedict and Stephen B.
Elkins, later United States senator
| from West Virginia.

BIG BANK TRUST.

Preparing 60 Meet the Demand for
Money In New Possessions.
Washington, March lO.-A dis.
patch from NV York says:
An enormous banking trust is
being organized here by two
great banks, one carrying de
posits amounting to 100000, OOU
and tb. other deposits of 5 O.OOO,-
ono Each of these banks is
making money, but the under
standing 10 that the tendency
towards industrial combination
aud the expectation that there
will be enormous fiDancing by
American capital in the develop
ment of trade relations with Cuba
and Porto RicD and the Philip.
pines make a great opportunity
aud greater profit for the financial
institution which has the greatest
amount of money on deposit. To
create by consolidation a banking
institution carrying Sl50.OOO,OO0
and expecting to carry more than
$4,000 900 in a little while
would be to establish a bank
whose resources and power would
be greater than those of the old
United States Bank, greater than
any banking institution of Europe
and matching, perhaps, the com
bined resources of the Rothschilds
themselves.
