Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
CARLSBAD, N. NJ, Sept. 4.-The dis
trict court cOnvenes here on the 11th
and an interes ting term is looked for.
Judge Chas. A. Leland will preside.
The trial o. Cass for the killing of Car
penter on the Black river below here

all indications will be a bitterly con-
tested case. A large number Of land
cases are on the docket.
The movement of beef cattle t ON
the valley will begin Sept. 18th at
which time a large shipment will be
made from Portales. This place
promises to become one of the most
prominent shipping points in the val
ley as from it's location on the road it
commands a larger territory than eth
err Carlsbad or Roswell and the water
supply there is ample.
Sam M. Gaines, superintendent of
railway mail service for this, the 11th
division, has been passing few days in
the valley and was impressed with the
possibilities of the country. He was
rather hurriedly recalled to Fort Worth
his headquarters by the report of the

Dallas News, has also been spending
the last ten days at Carlsbad and its
vicinity and left for Dallas on a special

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
ROSWELL, N. M. Sept. 4.-On last
Friday night, about nine O'Clock, an
individual who claims to be named
Joe Woods stole q horse, saddle and
bride from the Chisum ranch, owned
by the P. J. and 1 Co., and pulled out.
missed, however, by employees of the
ranch, which is about five miles south
east of Roswell, and a man was i'm
mediately sent to notify Sheriff Hig-
gins and Justice Lea.
Woods is the man who, about two
years ago, stabbed and cut Tom White,
d prominent cattleman of this section,
causing him toslosethe use of his right
arm, and almost his life, for which
crime he was sentenced to the years in
the territorial penintentiou. but, on &C
last spring, and he returned to
with the Ell
Captain Land & Cattle Co., for whom
he worked until about q month ago, at
which time, it is claimed, he was dis
charged for various petty Offenses. He
then came to Roswell and went to work
for "the company" at the Chisum
ranch, but was discharged, after work.
While at the Chisum ranch Woods
boasted..hat he had it in for Tom White.
and that he was going to make sneak
out there and kill Tom and "dO up'
the whole White outfit. so Sheriff Hig-
gins was in no quandary as to which
direction to start his men after him: so
next morning Chas. Cox and J. M. Nc
Adams took his trail and found him at
Mescalero Springs, forty miles east of
Roswell, but did not try to arrest him
there.
Woods, seeing them off at distance,
mounted his horse and
rode rapidly toward Four Lakes, twen-
ty miles further to the east, where he
was overtaken by Cox and McAdams,
who demanded his surrender. Woods
said all right, and came up to them,
and when ordered to throw up his
hands, said there was no use, that he
didn't have anything to shoot with.
1t appears that McAdsms and Cox
put spurs to his horse and made bold
break for liberty and succeeded in es-
Gaping unhurt although McAdams fired
several shots at him.
Tom Bu-ge, Will Ballard and Char
ley Walker then took up his trial and
overlook him at the ranch of Mrs Med
lin, where he was concealed in the
mousse W1Gn DuHalO gun, Dut only hao
five cartridges for it.
The posse in pursuit got in a rock
corral near the house and sent their
man word to surrender. as resent
ment would most certainty result in au
abrupt termination Of his thieving and
murderOus career, and after realizing
his situation, consented to surrender
and was brought to Roswell that day
by Ballord and Walker, and lodged in
the county Jail.
Woods came to this country fugi-
tive from justice aud since then has
been continually committing crimes,
except during the time he was in the
penitentisry where he will most assured
ly be returned for several years after
ad journmept of the next term of court

MIDLAND, Texas, Sept. 4.-One of

falling she struck a windmill in motion
and was badly injured.
She'hung on until she was rescued by
her companions. 1t was then found
that her limbs and body were badly
bruised, but no bones were broken.
She will probably lose one eye, how

SHORTAGE OF THE HAY crops.
The Growth Only About One Third
As Large As in Previous Years.

J. NJ. Forbes, u wealthy ranchmsn
from Las Cruces, is in the city and
speaking of the hay crops in the Mesi-
liza valley said:
son account of the great drouth in
the Mesilla valley the hay crop has
only been about one-third of the usual
growth in past years. 1T is of q splendid
quality though, and on account of the
smallness of the growth better prices
are realized.
cit is quite difficult matter to dis
pose of what we have as the railroad
changes such exhorbitant freight rates.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-05

For instance, from Las Cruces to Ell
Paso, the Santa Fe ask rate of So per
ton, and 1t does not pay US to ship the
hay as the prices in Ell Paso here, are
no better than those in Cruces.
81 Understandings quantities of hay
are being shipped in here from Cole
redo points, and brings S10.50 per ton.
''The Santa Fe makes almost as low
ratio from Colorado as it does from
points in New Mexico.
"Grama grass will be scarce this
winter and.I would advise all dealers to
lay in a large supply now.''

FOR HIS MONEY
An Old Man Was Brutality Murder

An OlO Moh nus Dr uIohy HuiuSi
ed
VIROUQUA, Wis, Sept. What
seems to be the murder of q helpless
old man for his money has just come to
light.
Seven miles south OF this city two
young men found the remains OF
Patrick Mulchrone. The flesh on
every exposed portion of the body had
been eaten of by dogs, rats and
chickens. One leg had been eaten off
at the knee joint and carried away.
Mulchrone was 70 years old and liv-
ed alone in a small hut. The place
showed evidences of a struggle.
Mulchrone is supposed to have had
quite large sum of money hidden
about his premises.

JOHN CLEMMONS
Made An Effort To Get a Marriage
ViConCo

John Clemmons, accompanied by his
lawyer, called at the county clerks Of
fee today and endeavored to have a
license issued for his son Louis and
the girl Rosa to wed.
He said he was willing to make af-
fidavit that the girl is II years of age.
In view of the fact that both the par
ents of the girl are dead and no guar
dian has ever been appointed for her
the clerk refused to Issue the license.
1t is probable that Clemmons will
qualify as guard ian for Rosa before the
county court and then give his permits
sion for his ward to marry his SON.

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things, whether be-
louging to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within Themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are often generated
within the human system through lmper-
feet digestion of food, producing various
poisons which scientists have denomlnatcd

gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak

food heavy, sodden mass is accu1nu-
lated in the stomach to fernlent as the hrst
step in its decay, giving off foul gasses 10
distend the stomach, and poison the blood,
until it becomes thin, weak and lacking III
the red cOrpuscles SO necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
This palpitation aud irregular action Of the
heart with its attendant shortness of BREATH

itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested fermenting and decay
ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain i'll the
eyes.
Being absorbed into the blood these poi
sons reach every part and organ of the sys-
tenn. The kidneys are thereby. poisoned,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes Fill
tering through the Skin, troublesome skin
diseases often show themselves.
Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishment and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone i'll loss of appetite
and flesh, but also in nervousness, debility,
bad complexion and many other derangc-
mcnts.

other will render 1t impossible to as
certain at any given time the liabili-
ties Of the penitentiary No one will
be able to ascertain what the unre-
turned favors received at the hands Of
the friends of the superintendent are
worth, nor when the institution will
be called upon to board man or horse
in return. It amounts to reciprocity
treaty between the superintendent and
his friends, which may involve the
institution in endless liability and
expense. 1t should be stopped.
Another unbusinesslike feature Of
the management is the contract Of the
institution with the knitting mill
company in the Penitentiary. They
give the mill 25horse power moter
and pay the electrical company for 25-
horse power, and to charge the mill
only what power it uses. They have
not settled in Eve years and haven t
even put in meter to be able to tell
how much power has been used. Now,
the mill company wants to settle at
10-horse power. The directors don't
know what was used and have paid for
25-horse power This is unbusiness-
like and negligent, in our opinion.
Now as to Mr.. Neal S financial trans
actions aud his moral obliquity in the
matter: In the first place, in the
face Of the plain spirit Of the law, he
arranged as soon as he became super
intendent to have his kinsman and
creditor, j. Belton Watson, take
charge of his plantation in Anderson
County, and procured for him convicts
to work it, and agreed that the net
proceeds, after paying for the convict
labor and the farm expenses, should
be applied to his debt to Watson, and
he was thus to get the advantage of
