BIG WELL IN GUERNSEY.

While it is being worked as a myst-
cry and it is impossible to get the ex-
act facts about the oil we'll which was
drilled in on the Eli Burt farm last
weeks, it is believed by many oil men
to be the best well ever drilled in this
section of the country. 1t was drilled
on Thursday and shot Friday and is
reported to be 40 to 80 barrel we'll.
The Eli Burt farm is near the old
Cambridge Baptist church, south of
town, near Nicholson's mines, and on
the very edge of the Jackson town
ship field, which has been constantly
developing richness of gas and oil.
1t is a coincidence that it is near the
line along which DR.. Orton, the late
state geologist, put our people to hunt
ing for the hogs back years ago.

Bias Aguirre Sentenced 10
Death BY the Juarez
Judge Of etters.
AN AMERICAN BORN
But He Engaged In a Border
Raid and the United
States Does Not
Want Him.

native born Texan is to be exc
cuted in Mexico by being shot to DEATH
The condemned mans name is Bias
Aguirre and he was found guilty of
murder in the first degree Saturday af-
ternoon by the JuareZ tribunal of JUS
tice and sentenced to be shot. At what
date this novel sentence will be car.
ried out has not yet been announced
but the mere fact that an American
has been sentenced by Mexican
court to be shot has already attracted
widespread attention from the press of
the country and Bias Aguirre has
leaped into, prominence at one bound.
The severity of the penalty imposed
upon Bias is doubtless due to the pc
culiar nature of his crime and the fact
that each government is anxious to
break up the raids into one country or
the other that frequently occurs along
the border, and for this reason Mexi-
co is likely to make an example of
Aguirre as warning to others.
Aguirre was accused of leading
band of raiders from the San Elizario
district of this county, across the Rio
Grande to the little town of San Ig-
nacio, where the owner of a small cafe,
Juan ]. Escajeda,. was brutally shot
to death. There were six men in the
party that killed Escajeda, but they all
escaped except one man who was too
drunk to mount his horse.
Aguirre and his brother were subse-
quently captured in New Mexico by
Ben Williams and returned to Ell Paso,
where they were lodged in Jail: After
time extradition proceedings were
commenced in the federal court here.
They were conducted by Captain Beall,
of Consul Mallen. The United States
commissioner decided to surrender the
prisoner to Mexico for trial and the
state department sustained his decis-
ion. Las April Aguirre was sent by
his native land back to the country of
his ancestors to be tried by the courts
of Juarez for murder. He was found
guilty there by the judge of letters
| and the death penalty awarded. I'm
less the governor or president inter-
feres he will be shot behind the prison
walls at Juarez
Although born in America Aguirre
had used his freedom simply to fur
ther his individual ideas of right and
wrong. He is said to have been especi-
ally covetous of other peoples cattle
and the man who was murdered is re-
ported to have once accused Aguirre
of stealing calves.

Four mining men met at Casas Gran

Yaqui gold fields. None of them had
much cash money but all had oonsid-
erable gold in nuggets that they tad
fdug from the sands in the mountains
beyond. They had to spend day in
Casas Grandes and a poker game was
proposed. Shining gold nuggets were

THE TRAlNMEN MAY GO OUT
In Which Case tie System Would Probably
Be Completely Tied Up From Chicago
to San Francisco and Galveston.

ST. LOUIS. Dec. 10-From the head
quarters of the railway telegraphers
in this city II. B. Perham, general sec
retary and treasurer of the order, this
morning caused a telegraphic bulletin
to be sent to the forty heads of di-
visions of the striking Santa Fe oper-
ators. saying that the general situa-
ton today was more than reassuring.
No defections from the strikers are
reported the bulletin continued, and
''such pressure will be brought to bear
on the Santa Fe that it will have to
yield within twenty-four hours"
Secretary Perham declined to give
your correspondent a copy of the bulle
conduct of the strike. Perham said:
Our weakest point in the strike which
has taken the operators out from Chi
cago to San Francisco is right in Chi
cago. And even there we have 75 per
cent of our men out. In California
sas the percentage of men out is 80:
in Oklahoma and Indian Territory
about 95.
These figures are based on reports
received this morning. For various
reasons l cannot tell the exact nature
of the pressure to be brought to bear
on the Santa Fe, but let me say, that
last night 321 trainmen met in Calves
ton and unanimously endorsed the
strike and expressed their willingness
sired it.
THE popular impression that gen.
eral strike of trainmen cannot be con
sidered until the general committees of
trainmen meet is wrong Any mo-
ment a crew of trainmen may refuse
to accept their orders from scab oper-
ators. Then a general strike is on.
''Of 140O operators employed by the
Santa Fe 1900 are not working today.
Their places cannot be filled because
there are not that many idle opera
tors
Perham says: THE men are not
hankering for jobs in signal towers at
s45 per month, nor for positions at $50
where they are ticket agent. baggage
man, bill clerk. bookkeeper and tele-
graph operator.
Most of the uni lions are working for
eight hours work a day, our telegraph
operators are working for eight hours
rest in "a.
"The order of the Santa Fe that the
men will not be reemployed is pure
bluff. The general public understands
it just that way"
Perham compares the struggle to a
football game in which there is the
roughtest of treatment but the best of
feeling after the game.

An Et,ict That VIII Give Cigarette
Smokers Some Grief.
Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The American
Tobacco company, through it's Iowa
representative in this city, Charles
H. Rollins, has requested every re-
tail dealer in the state to discontinue
Immediately the sale of all cigar
cites of it's manufacture.
The order is result of decision
of the federal supreme court, rem
dered on the 18th in the case OF Will
liam b. Austin VS.. the state OF ZEN
nessee, involving the validity OF the
law in that state regulating the SAFE
of cigarettes. As the Iowa law IS
similar, the company says there must
be discontinuance of the sale or It's
cigarettes in this state until IL Is
learned whether the decision covers
the situation here. In way the
American Tobacco company IS sup
posed to have been protecting the
dealers in Des Moines. 1t is known
that few years ago, after the anu
cigarette law went into effect, TINS
corporation sent cigarettes to retail
dealers in bulk. mat is. instead OF
selling in lots of 500, as had previous,
" been the case, cigarettes were SOLD
in lots of ten, or by the box, TO the
retailer. If he ordered thousand
cigarettes, they would come in SACKS
or baskets, but ten being fastened
together It was said this was the
original package, and the fight to Duy
and sell cigarettes under the pro'ls-
ions of the inters tate commerce laws
was claimed. In the case decided
by the supreme court the tennessee
law was alta cked as an infringement
on the right of congress to regulate
interstate commerce. The case gre"
out of the importation OF cigarettes
into Tennessee from North Carolina.
Thew were taken INTO the state IN
the ordinary sized cigarette pack,
age. about two by four inches, ana
these packages. We're loosely thrown
into baskets, which were uncovered.
Justice Brown, in passing upon the
case, said that the packages were
undoubtedly made up with view OF
violating the law. On this point the
decision of the state court to the
effect the packages were not origin
al was fully confirmed. The Zen
nessee court held that cigarettes
we're not an article of commerce.
With this view Justice Brown took
issue. There was dissenting oP1n-
ion by Justice Shiras, in which the
chief Justice and Justices Peckham
and Brewer joined.
