A NEGRO SHOT BY A WOMAN.
Result of a Quarrel in South Wash
inSfon.

George Webb colored, aged about thirty
years, was shot and severely wounded
shortly after IL o'clock last night at his
home, 10 Leonard Court southwest. Fran
ces Monroe, also colored, is locked up at
the Fourth Precinct station, charged with
the shooting. Webb was removed to the
Emergency Hospital by the police OF the
Fourth precinct station.
The shooting resulted from a quarrel be-
tween Webb and woman with whom, the
police say. he has lived for some time.
Last night the woman was at home when
Webb reached the house. The latter was
under the influence of liquor. and accord
ing to the woman proceeded to beat her
with club. This the woman refused to
stand and she hurried ups airs, procured
a revolver, and shot Webb through the
left thigh and left leg. Neighbors heard
the shots and called the police. A sum-
mons was sent in for the ambulance and
Webb was hurried to the hospital and
placed in ward. His condition is serious,
but his recovery is expected.
After the shooting the Monroe woman
was seen leaving the court and she was
followed and placed under arrest. She
was locked up. She is said to admit shoot
ing Webb but pleads self-defence for the
act. She will be taken into the Police
Court tomorrow morning.

protested against his surrender to the
Alabama officers.
They also asked the Governor 20 issue
an order to the sheriff of New Orleans not
to surrender his prisoner, as they feared
that Jacob might be kidnapped. The Ala

HIS MIND A BLANK.
Arrest of n Mnn Who Cannot Tell His
Name Nor Where He Lives.

Memory is lacking with q strange man
under arrest at the First precinct station
charge of insanity is placed against him,
and John Doe is the name by which the
police will take him into court tomorrow.
Doe as he is styled. does not remember
anything not even his name. Surgeons of
the Police Department. viii examine his
mental condition today.
Late in the night policeman met Doe
walking aimlessly along Pennsylvania Ave
nue., near Tenth Street northwest. His
actions were suspicious and when ques-
toned his replies were unintelligi'le. Doe
went to the station without making OBJ
lection. He was unable to give his name.
He could remember nothing he said.
Where he had been. where he was going
and where he lived, all were blank to Doe.
He asked for nothing and appeared satisfied
to remain in custody.
The man is plainly dressed. Apparently
he is refined. No one has been found
who knows him.

AGRICULTURE WITHOUT IRRIGATION
An Interesting Experiment That Is Being
Made in Otero County.

j. c.. Dunn, formerly of California,
and now of Otero county, is convinced
that farming can be carried on on the
arid plains without irrigation, and en-
tirely by hard work. He is now en-
deavoring to prove the truth of his
theory, and is engaged in the cultiva-
ton of an extensive tract near Alamo
gordo hat hitherto has been considered
utterly worthless for farming purposes.
His theory, based upon his former ex-
perience in California, is that there Is
plenty of moisture in the ground, pro-
vided it Is well broken and kept so all
the time, and he says he has demon
strated this to his entire satisfaction,
and that at no time during the past
year has there been any lack of moist
ure, and he has raised a good crop of
cereals and vegetables. Barley planted
in July now shows up %splendidly, and
he has potato vines about 3 feet long.
Mr.. Dunn has such faith in the future
Otero county that he has induced
three families from California. his for
mer neighbors, to locate there.

A Hearty Welcome.

A hearty welcome is extended to the
delegates to the Democratic territorial
convention which meets in this city to-
day. While the New Mexican does not
agree with the political views held by
the leaders of tho party, yet it knows
that within its ranks are found good
men and true, the same as in the ranks
of any great party. The right of free
speech and liberty of thought is one of
the most precious heritages of the re-
public, and as long as men differ in
thought, so long will there be parties in
politics as there are parties in church
or in social life. New Mexico does not
hold people like those of Victor, Colo,
who would deny one party to utter its
sentiments, for the territory is large
enough and liberal enough to tolerate
all shades of opinion, although some of
them If carried into practice would be
to it and its people. There
fore, again, welcome to the delegates Of
the two great parties which meet in this
city today to choose opposing standard
bearers.

Political Apathy.

The chief task of the political leaders
is not so much to persuade Democrats to
vote the Republican ticket or vice versa,
but to bring out the full vote of their
own party. The apathy of many voters
towards matters political is astounding.
Even after the most exciting campaigns
a comparatively large number of citizens
refrain from voting. In New Mexico
the stay-at-home vote could at every
election decide the result one way or the
other. There is a sign of decadence in
this apathy which it is the duty of those
interested in the welfare of the republic
to overcome. Every man who takes an
interest In the coming election should
see to it that every voter in his commu
nifty makes up his mind to come to the
polls on the 9Th of November and ex.
presses his choice of party and candi'
dates.

New Mexico history long after the actors

advanced in behalf of Mr.. Luna for de-
clining the unanimous tenderof an Office
to which he would be certainly elected

heighten the esteem in which he is held

Being Built.
INTERVIEW WITH E. C. ABBOTT, ESQ.

E. c.. Abbott, Esq, of Red River, a
member of the Republican territorial
central committee of Taos county, was
in the city to attend the meeting of the
committee Tuesday and to take in the
territorial convention, as well as to
transact some legal business. In speak
ing of the mining operations in Red
River camp, Mr.. Abbott says that good
progress has been made during the year.
A Joplin (Mo.) and Pittsburg (Pa.) syn
dictate has bought the old Waterbury
group of five copper claims. Mr.. Abbott
negotiated the sale. There were five
claimants to the property: Henry
Young, George D. Jordan, Mrs. Amy C.
Kelly and John Connely, whose con-
flicting claims were adjusted by the
sale. The syndicate has commenced ac-
tive development work, and at the
depth of 20 feet found such rich copper
ore that it ordered double the amount
of heavy machinery at first purchased
in order to sink a 500-foot shaft. 1t is
the syndicate's intention to make a
mine of the property.
The June Bug mill is nearing compile
ton, and will be ready for operation by
November l.. 1t is a fifty-ton custom
mill.

Sixto Lopez, a Filipino, who has writ
ten several seditious pamphlets, arrived
in the United States this week to help
the anti lmperialists in their campaign
against President Mckinley. In no
other country in the world would Lopez
be allowed to remain out of custody un-
der the circumstances, but the Republi
can administration is so liberal in its
policy against its opponents that it al
lows them to go UNPUBLISHED for acts of
bare treason. If it had any imperialistic
tendencies at all it would arrest Lopez,
court-martial and execute him in very
short meter, and would give his access
cries in this country, life sentences in
the penitentiary.
