WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE
Judge Harper So Charged the Jury
In the Case Of Barker VS.. the
Mexican Central And Santa Fe.

In the county court Saturday after
noon Judge Harper instructed the jury
in the case of w. M. Barker VS.. the
Santa Fee and Mexican Central rail-
roads to find verdict for the defen-
dants.
The evidence showed that the plain
tiff was passenger on the Mexican
Central train from chihuahua to Ell
Paso. He checked part of his bag
gage and carried q Valise with him In
the car. When the train reached Ell
Paso he went 20 the baggage room of
the Santa Fe and set down his valise
while he went to look after the other
part of his baggage. When he return
ed the vslise was gone and be sued
the two companies for damages TO the
Rmou INT of SCI.
On behalf of the Mexican Central it
was contended that he had ceased to be
q passenger On their line, while the
Santa F'e commended that he never was
and had no inten ton of ever becoming
a passenger on their line. Moreover
the baggage lost was not checked or
placed in charge of either of the de-
PENDANTS hence neither was responsible
for its loss.
The court took the same view Of the
case and instructed the jury accord
inely.

AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
officer Bryant Again Arrests An
Alleged Mexican Offender With
Whom He Had Had Previous
Experience In the Mountains.

Mauriclo Apodacs is tx feet tall and
| just as mean as he Is tall II his official
record is to be taken as an indicator.
| de was arrested Sunday by Deputy
Sheriff Bryant and now is out on bond
with q charge of illegally branding
on the register.
| ApOdaca was arrested near Payne's
ranch by the deputy and brought back
to this city, after spending the last few
months in retirement in Mexico.
, This is the second time he has been
arrested by Bryant, and the first time,
| four years ago, was far more exciting
than this one. Apodsca bad lived
down the river short distance, and
time, to the minute, thai a compadre of
his was found with his head chopped
| off with an sX.
| He WAS tracked up into Lincoln coun-
| ty by Bryant and another officer, and
! finally located in the White Oaks
country. The officers had onlyS. a
capias issued and return ablein Ell Paso
county, Texas, but when they found
| their man there was no time for extra
| dition fOrmalities, and he was advised
to coma along without giving trouble.
| He didn't give them much rouble, but
it wasn't his fault that ne didn't, be-
! cause they had the handouts on him by
day. and tied him up to a tree with a
| log chain at night.
| His brother happened along with a
| bunch of horses. He fell on Apodaca's
/! neck and wept at his predicament, and
his lamen tations were long and vehe-
ment.
"Show the reality of your sym
psthy," said Ed Bryant, "by loaniug
your brother horse, so he can ride.
1t you don't, we'll have to walk all the
way"
With many protestations, the broth
er declared he could not give up the
horse, but he presented his brother
with nice pair of Indian moccasins,
in which to walk the hundred and
more miles back to Ell Paso. "That, I"
said Mr.. Bryant this morning, that
wss brotherly love for you
Apodaca was finally brought back
anyway. and On horseback, too, and
put in the Ell Paso county jail. He
stood trial and was acquitted.
Apodaca was arrested for altering
the brand ON some cattle belonging to
j. M. Lujan.
ARRESTED FOR A STABBING ARRAY.
Another man brought in yesterday
by Officer Bryant, with ApOdaca, was
Jose Chavez, wanted for assault with
intent to murder. He Is the third to
be arrested of q quartet who are sup
posed TO have banded together and as
saulted, last September, the man who
bad the contract for loading GOAL at
Findley, en- the G. 81. The man was
cut into shreds of several sizes, but re-
covered. Two of his alleged asssilants
were arrested last fall, and are out on
bond. while the fourth has escaped.
Chavez was released on $500 bond.
Roman Maese is the name of the man
assaulted.

Proper Bathing.

Every person. OLD or young. sick OF
well. ought 20 have :: daily bath I'm
mediately after arising in the morning
is the best time. A quart of water and
a bowl-there ought 10 be twO-is all
that is necessary. The water need not
be cold or hot; from 30 to 80 degrees is
preferable. The young and the very
vigorous can safely indulge in much
colder water.
Let the bath be taken rapidly, occu-
plying from two to five minutes. Sim
ply wet the entire person with water,
dry this off with one towel, then rub
the surface briskly with dry, coarse
towel. Then dress rapidly; then exer-
else until there Is a full, free action in
the circulation and warmth.
If there Is need for the use Of soap,
except locally, and where there is q
daily bath there is little need for II,
let that be used before retiring at
night.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
Most Noted Authority In The Coun'
try Discusses That Aspect Oh
Railroads.

Railroads.
leading American authority on
railroads, speaking recently on pub
lie control of industrial activity, said !:
"The growth of large corporations
and the inci easing consolidation OF
capital in every form of industrial en-
terprise has brought to the front now
as never before that part OF the wes-
tern socialism which relates to the re-
lations between government and indus
adopted, the management will be In
the hands OF the few. It is necessary
for the successful conduct OF modern
industry that it should be managed In
this way. These few men In whom
power is centralized are likely to be
the same, whether the industry be
held in the name of private corpora
ton or in the name Of the community.
The same qualities which operae IN
business tend to operate In politics,
also. Much complaint with regard TO
the effect of the money power in poll
tics is but confession of inevitable
ness of this fact.
SIT is sometimes said that state rail-
roads will not have to pay the profits
that are now distributed by private
railroads. But what does this mean!
Inc state gets the rallrOaos lor uoGu-
ing? No. 1t must borrow money to
pay for them. The attempt to confis-
cate them without pay would not only
be unconstitutional, but would be des-
tructive of all social order. On the
money thus borrowed it must pay in
terest. The railroads of the country at
present, taking good years and bad
years together, are probably not earn
ing more than per cent. Should the
government, therefore. borrow money
at 3 per cent, it would simply mean
that the same amount of money would
be distributed oy government agents
to holders Of government stocks and
bonds.
ga large part of the difficulty about
trusts at the present day lies in the
fact that we are trying to carry into
an age of combination the morals and
the law developed in a time of free
competition. We leave the producer
free to make what prices he likes, be-
cause we assume that q failure to do so
will evoke a competitor. In some cases
this process is so slow that some or all
OF the consumers are ruined before 1t
has time to work itself out"
