THE ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT.
oklahoma City Has Probably Lost Out On
This Matter,

This Matter.
1t is now evident that Oklahoma
City will not get the annual encamp-
ment Of the militia this year as was
formerly promises her. The vicio, s
and malicious attack made upon Gov
Barnes by the press of that city are
the prime reasons. The fight won
them nothing and made the town
more enemies, outside of the holdup
game of the reunion, than any thing
else. Not one militia officer has yet
asked d the governor to let the encamp-
ment go there, while many have pc
titioned him to send it to some other
point. Adjutant General Orner is now
away looking up a suitable location
for the meeting. Perry and Enid are
mentioned among the places likely to
be selected Perry has made a specia
effort for it and stands good chance
TO win.

new BUNK HOUSES AT ALBEMARLE.
George ". Kephart Goes to Denver to Buy
Furnishings for Them,

George w. Kephart, manager of the
great general merchandising establish

golden Cochiti, left Santa Fe over the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad this fore
noon en- route to his former home in

Mr.. Kephart goes to Denver for the pur-
pose of buying iron bedsteads, springs,
mattresses, blankets and other articles
needed to furnish two new bunk houses
for the men employed by the company
in the great Albemarle mine and mill.
He says the company has decided here
after to provide all its men with the
very best kind Of clean and comfortable
beds, and to place the bunk houses in
charge of competent persons. who will
see that the beds are always made up
and ready for the men when they quit
work and want to rest, whether en-
ployed on the day or night shifts. The
company is at present employing about
$50 men, and the operations of both its
mill and mine are proceeding smoothly.

The JOHNSON MURDER CASE.
No Arrest Has Been Hads-Ths Killing
Was Justifable.


Sheriff H. C. Kinsell has returned
from Cerrillos, and reports that no ar
rest has been made or any further ac-
tion taken in the Edward johnson kill
ing case. Mrs. Johnson's own statement
is the only direct evidence, although
there Is considerable circumstantial ev-
idence to show that the killing was JUS
tifiable, and that the woman had lived
in daily fear of her life for some time.
The general opinion among the people
at Cerrillos seems to be that johnson,
had he lived, would have attempted to
carry out his previous threat to mur-
der Foreman and Mrs. Williams, as
well as his own wife. The fact that not
soul attended his funeral Is cited as
an evidence Of how little johnson was
thought of in the community. Mr.. Kin
sell Is of the opinion that his wife would
be easily acquitted.
The woman, whose name Is Etolia
johnson, was brought before the justice
Of the peace at Cerrillos for prelimi-
nary trial. Nine witnesses were heard,
who testified that the woman's act was
in self-defense. The magistrate there
upon discharged the woman,

A Former Democrat Who Is Convinced the
Republican Party Is Ali Right.

Santa Fe, N. M, Sept. cath, 1900.
Editor of the New Mexican.
1t Is well known to my fellow citizens
here and throughout Santa Fe county
that since my majority l have been a
Democrat and have worked and voted
for that party. However, seeing the
prosperity that has blessed New Mexico
during the past three years and finding
that all the evil prophecies made by Mr..
Bryan and the Democratic speakers and
papers during the 1896 campaign, have
not been fulfilled but quite the contrary
have been absolutely disproven by the
facts as they exist, have concluded that
the principles and platform advocated by
the Democrats are wrong and not tenable
and hereby and herewith declare for
the future my adherence and support of
the Republican party and the Repub-
lican administration which has done 80
much for the country at large and under
which New Mexico is doing well and Is
enjoying good, honest and peaceable
administration.
Very respectfully,

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER
The Wife Of an Alamogordo Barber Il
Pound Dead with a Bullet Hole
Through Her Body.
4 MAN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION

Last Friday afternoon between and
o'clock the town of Alamogordo was
surprised by the discovery of the mur-
der of Mrs. Catherine Harper, wife Of
a colored barber, John Harper. The
woman was found murdered In her own
bed room. She had been shot with 3S-
calber revolver, as an examination of
the wounds showed. The bullet had en-
tered inches to the right of the left
breast and passed clear through the
body. There were no signs of a strug-
gle. There was spot of blood on the
bed pillow, but none on the floor, al
though the body layasome feet away
from the bed. The imprint of the bar
rel was plainly marked on her breast,
which was badly burned by the powder,
showing that the murderer had pressed
the revolver close against her body. Her
left hand was blackened by powder,
showing that she had grasped the bar
rel in an effort to defend herself
Mrs. Harper was half breed Indian,
and was married last winter in Albu-
querque. From all accounts she was
woman of good character, and lived
happily with her husband, who was a
quiet, inoffensive working man. Mo-
tives for the crime can only be conjec-
tured, but the fact that her watch and
jewelry was lying undisturbed on a ta-
BILE near by when she was found showed
that robbery had nothing to do with it.
Some of the neighbors report having
heard a muff1ed shot shortly after
o'clock, and unconfirmed rumor says
that strange man was seen leaving
the house a little later.
Her husband was at his shop and
learned of his wifes death only when
called by the neighbors. A 3S-caliber
pistol was found in the room, but ex-
animation showed that it had not been
fired for long time.
James Stockton was arrested at Ala
mogordo Saturday night, charged with
the murder. A letter taken from the
postoffice by Mr.. Harper, directed to his
wife and requesting her to leave her
husband and go away with Stockton
furnished the clew which led to the ar
rest.
RESIDED FORMERLY IN SANTA FEE
John Harper, the husband of the de-
ceased, is very well known in Santa Fe,
where he resided for about twelve years
and was employed as a porter at the
al a ri tn
young woman from whom he was SUBJ
sequently divorced, and who is now re-
siding here. The news Of his second
wife's tragic death has attracted con-
siderable attention among the colored
people in this city. 1t is said that she
was an orphan girl whom he and his
former wife had adopted and raised in
this city. and subsequently sent to
school at Albuquerque.

A QUEER CUSTOM.
Ralph MoFie Tells How the Igorrotss Catch
Thieves in the Philippines.


Thieves in the Philippines.
In recent letter to his father, Judge
John R. McFie, Ralph McFie makes
some interesting references to customs
which prevail in some portions of the
Philippine Islands, as follows:
II will give you a few pointers on
catching thieves, taken from the latest
improved methods in vogue In certain
parts of this island. The Igorrotes are
a sem-wild tribe up in the northern
provinces of the island of Luzon, and
are to be found in the provinces of
Lepanto, Baquey and several others,
and the few items l give you below were
given me by mining man who has
mines up there and lives among them.
He is an American and man who may
be believed implicitly.
"Here is test for catching thief.
Upon person reporting to the head
man of pueblo that something has
been stolen, the following proceedings
are had to determine who is the thief,
and 1t is claimed they are most just and
less mistakes are made than by our own
rules of justice and equity. All of the
natives of the section are called to-
gether and seated in circle; then the
head man goes around and gives each
one spoonful of dry rice; at q signal
from the head man they all put the rice
in their mouths and masticate it until
upon another signal from the head man
they all spit it upon the ground in
front of them.
"The head man then goes around,
examines the substance, which has been
partly masticated, and then he pounc.s
upon some one as the guilty party, and
no matter how much he may deny 1t he
is held, and If he persists in denying his
guilt, he is whipped until he confesses.
Whereupon he is ordered to return the
stolen article and an equal amount In
damages, and also furnish hog for q
feast, as no public function is complete
without roast hog. Y he refuses TO pay
the penalty, he Is whipped until he COM
plies with the order. However, as a
matter of certainty, the judge usually
gives two tests of the rice trial, each one
being allowed so much time, and 1T is
said the judge rarely makes mistake.
1.-The explanation is this: the thief,
knowing he is guilty, is nervous, and
when given his rice he is unable to mas
ticate we'll, in fact can scarcely moisten
it., as under his excitement the flow OF
saliva stops, bat with the innocent par
ties the flow of saliva is not stopped and
they are able to completely masticate
the rice. So you see it is not so bad
after all. Try it at your next term of
court, thus dispensing with juries and
save expense"
