Men Went To

Special Correspondence OF the HERALD.
LAS CRUCES, April 2O.-After the
two principals plead guilty In the bank
robbery the case against Print Rhodes
and VIM. Cravens ss accessories was
called aud they plead not guilty. A
jury was then summoned aud after q
lot OF challenging by both the prose-
cution and defense was completed about
$3.50 p. m.
The plan of the prosecution was then
outlined by Major w. 81. II. Lie weliyn,
and then the fret witness for the prose-
cution, who was J. G. Freeman, the
assistant cashier of the bank robbed
and the party held up. testified to
the robbing OF the bank pom the 18th
of February, as told in the HERALD.
The next witness called was Oscar J.
WILDER, one of the principals in the
robbery and the one who turned states
evidence. He testified that the rob-
berry was planned at Fierro, Grant
county, N. M, by q man by the name Of
Brooks, Wilson and himself about the
first of February. They procured
horses and started for Lss Cruces. On
the way Brooks and Wilson got into
quarrel about which should lead the
expedition and Brooks left them. Will
son and Wilber then came Oh to
Oregon and from there went to Print
Rhodes where they stayed all night.
Next morning they went over into the
Oregon mountains where they formed
a camp and were joined by Rhodes.
The contemplated robbery was
talked over and Rhodes agreed to
furnish the horses. VIM. Cravins
came to their camp with Rhodes and
brought horses. Cravips sgreed to
co ne on with them and stay outside of
the town and throw any one off the
trail if they were pursued. When
near Las Cruces they met man who
claime1 the horses robbed by Wilson
which he took away from them. They
then returned to their camp aud Crav-
ins went home.
On the 11th Rhodes and Cravens
came again with two more horses.
The came night Wilson and WILDER
left alone for Las Cruces. They came
On to Organ where they staid until
the next day and then came on and
robbed the bank. In making their es-
cape one of their horses gave out about
four miles from the mountains. They
then both rode thu one left until be
also gave out, when they came into
camp on foot. The second day after the
robbery Rhodes came to their camp
early in the morning and later in the
day Craven also joined them, when they
divided the money, giving Rhodes and
Craven 500 each. He said the whole
amount was SIl56, much less than they
to gel. They then took their
irst mount and went to Ell Paso: from
there into Mexico, and through Eagle
Pass soSan A ntOnto, Texas, where they
we're captured by Ben Williams, OF

As To Representatives.

We publish IN another column a
communication from An Old Demo.
crat to which we call our readers
attention. We do SO not for the
purpose Of indorsing or cOndemning
anything said or advanced by our
correspondent, but to direct the at.
tention of Dem ocra,s to the great
importance of the matter discussed
that of making a wise selection of
representatives at the coming pri.
mary.
The making of this
selection is a matter which rests
entirely with the rank and file of the
Democracy in the primary election.
Any Democrat has right to aspire
to the high and responsible office it
Is left with the people to say whom
they want. They are the masters
they must choose, aud upon them
must rest the responsibility of the
choice.
Let Democrats. therefore, take the
matter seriously in hand and decide
l. for themselves.
Some candidates are out before
them; others will no doubt announce
themselves; besides, there is goO'
material to choose from among the
Democracy of the parish, and it is
most likely that no Democrat nomi-
mated at the primary election will
refuse TO accept the mandate of the
people, however reluctant to make
the sacrifice.

AoAOuiNuV, Odu. III, 1CUU.
Editor Sentinel
Presuming on your oft repeated
invitation to your readers to CORES
pond on topics Of public interest,
venture q few words on q subject
which is now creating considerable
discussion among Democrats. Ire.
fer to the selection, at the coming
Democratic primary, of two represen.
tatives in the c,ming legislature.
l see by the announcements in
your esteemed paper that two citizens,
one from the upper part Of the parish
and one from the lower, are willing
to become the nominees of the Demo-
cratic party for that responsible
position, and offer themselves to
voters at the coming primary. 1
have heard their merits discussed,
and there seems to he considerable
, aversion to them. Not that there Is
anything personally der gatory to
them in the objection l have heard
urged against their nomination, but
that many seem to feel that we ought
to have stronger men to represent us.
With view Of meeting this de-
mand, or, at least, rOusing still furth
er the public interest in this all
important matter, l shall propose
two men, for the consideration of
the Democratic voters at the coming
primary, who, in my opinion, would
make Us good representatives. These
gentlemen are Messrs. Emile U. Nor
want and Lee j. EOret, both we'll
known throughout the parish, and
coming from opposite portions
, t.,ereof.
Mr. Morvant is a successful plan.
:er. a good business man and a
valuable member of the present
police Jury. He is man Of great
common sense and Of fine judgment
Mr.. Foret is much younger man,
q succ> ssful planter, with good
DGstiitsS CouCIltOu dou StotutbS' auu
also of good, sound judgment.
These gentlemen may not be pos
scssed of the gift of eloquence and
may not be able to make long fine
speeches, but when it comes to work,
to taking care Of the interests of the
people aud conserving their rights,
they are the equal of the best. They
may be depended on to do what is
right every time.
These gentlemen are not candi-
dates, It is true, and may be averse
to serving, but if nominated at the
coming primary, they can scarcely
refuse to obey the call of their fellow
Democrats.
These are the views of
AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
