GROUND UNDER CAR WHEELS.
The Horrible Death of Tramp Named
Mike Oberskey.

The name OF the tramp run over and
mangled into small pieces near Berna-
| lilo by Santa Fe train was Mike
| Oberskey, who made La Junta his rem
devious for the past few weeks. He
was coming south with Frank Lavard,
travelling companion, and both We're
stealing a ride. Oberskey was not so
young and agile as Lavard, and when
the train was nearing Bernalillo sta
tion he attempted to get off, his coat
was caught in the under brake, and he
was hurled beneath the wheels. His
body was cut in twain. and small pieces
of human flesh scattered along the rails
for several hundred yards. In search
ing pieces of his bloody clothes his name
was found written on an envelope, in
which letter was inclosed, but blood
had stained the writing to such an ex-
tent that the words We're unintelligible.
The remains were buried at Bernalillo,
and no tombstone will in the future
mark the grave wherein lie the horribly
mangled body of Mike Oberskey.
Lavard states that he and the victim
had been travelling companions for the
past few years, making regular migra-
tory trips according to the seasons
making the northern lake towns and
the eastern ocean resorts in the sum-
mer and when Jack Frost appears leis-
urely moving to the cities, towns and
resorts of the southern states and ter
ritories. II have lost good friend-a
fellow that feared no danger" said La
ward, 'and will now travel along south
ward in lonely state of mind"

Hacked in Several Places.

| New York, Nov. 1.-Charles f. Jones,
secretary and valet of the late William
Marsh Rice whose death occurred un-
der suspicious circumstances, attempt
ed suicide in the Toombs this morning.
Jones was found in a cell at 4 a. M, al
most unconscious from the loss of
blood. He had inflicted several cuts on
his neck, and severed the jugular vein
on his right side. He used a small but
keen penknife. The surgeons at the
Bellevue hospital said Jones would re-
cover. Jones was under examination
yesterday by Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne and the detectives. 1t was
reported that he had made statement
or confession.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
said today that Jones sent for him on
Tuesday and voluntarily made a state
ment to the effect that for some days
prior to Rice's death, Rice, who was
troubled with constipation, had been
taking tablets of grayish color given
him by Patrick; that Patrick and Rice
had been very intimate; that Sunday
before his death, Rice sent Jones to
Patrick to demand certain papers in
his possession; that Patrick then came
to see Rice and gave Rice more medi-
cine that the next morning Patrick
again called and sent Jones for the doc
tor for Rice who was very sick; that
when he returned with the doctor, Rice
was dead; that Patrick took all of
Rice's papers, had the body embalmed,
and that Patrick then gave Jones two
blank checks signed by Rice which he
had Jones fill out for $25, 900 and s65 900.

e. G. Howard, jr., of Silver Citv. who
is stopping at the Sheridan hotel at Ell
Paso, was followed from a gambling
house in that city by person who saw
him put $175 in his pocket before leav-
ing the place. On Overland street Mr..
Howard was passed by a tall, broad
shouldered stranger whom he asked TO
direct him to a certain house. The
stranger led Mr.. Howard up Overland
to stanton street and turned south on
Stanton. AS the two men were opposite
Provencio's the stranger suddenly
,Whirled around and dealt Mr. Howard
Il blow in the face that knocked him
down. In falling Mr. Howard called for
the police. John Sullivan of the fire de-
partment had come out of the depart

stranger deal Howard another blow
When he attempted to rise. Mr.. Sullivan
started on run to the rescue of How
ard. The stranger saw him coming and
dashed away. "If you don't stop I'll
shoot YOU shouted Sullivan to the flee
ing man. The threat to shoot caused
the stranger to stop and ask Mr.. Sulli- |
van if he was an officer, and being an
SWered in the affirmative the stranger
allowed himself to be marched to the |
police station, where he gave his name |
as Joe Markham. Markham did not |
have any money on his person, but sta
led to Officer Christly that he had been |

BLACK RANGE
RAILWAY
Construction on It Will Commence
Immediately After President
Mckinley Is Elected.
S75O,OOO ARE TO Be SPENT
If Bryan Should Be Elected the Road Will
Not Be Built-The Project Will
Be a Great Benefit to
Socorro.

Colonel r. E. Twitchel, president of
the Black Range Railway Company,
while in the city today, was interviewed
relative to the prospects of construction
OF the line proposed from Magdalena to
Chloride. Colonel Twtchell said:
"A contingent contract has been en-
tered into between the promoters of the
enterprise and New York capitalists
The only menace at present is the bare
possibility of Republican defeat in the
national election. If Colonel Bryan
should be elected, the road will not be
built. 1t will be impossible to secure
the money to construct the road and
we will have to postpone construction
until such time as confidence in busi-
ness conditions would be restored. The
most ardent supporters of Colonel Bry-
an admit that his election would precip-
itate panic and destroy the confidence
which now exists in commercial circles
We do not look for any such calamity
however, and expect to see the con-
struction begun right after the cleo
tion. There will be spent in construc-
ton in Socorro county not less than
$75O,OOO, and the present intention is to
secure control of the Magdalena branch,
so that the entire line to Chloride may
be operated with the City of Socorro as
the northern terminal. The promoters
have expended quite a large sum of |
money in getting this enterprise to its
present status, and had it not been that |
his was an election year, construction |
would have commenced long ago. The
great benefits to accrue to Socorro
through the construction of this line
'an not be over estimated The A.. r.
s. F. Railway Company is giving ev-
ry possible aid to the promoters of this
enterprise, and most advantageous
rattle agreement has been promised.
Ehe people of Socorro and Sierra coun-
les have not fully considered the i'm
nense advantages to them growing out
# the construction of this line. 1t is
-dmitted that the road will open up the
most promising mining districts in this
erritory, as the Black Range is as yet
practically an undiscovered country.
'he promoters do not expect to make
nuch out of the proposition themselves,
ut they will have the satisfaction of
moving that they have done something
ubstantial for New Mexico and her
eOple." e.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE West Virginia delegates, alternates
and accompanying politicians arrived here this evening and 1T once pro-
ceeded to the headquarters arranged for them by Senators Scott and FL
kins and COL Horkheimer, at the Clarendon Hotel. The delegation was a
large one, numbering nearly hundred, and many of the most noted of
the Republican leaders of the State, were in the party.
On the Vice Presidential question the delegation is a good deal at see.
A complimentary vote for Senator N. 3. Scott appears to be assured, but
this is merely al evidence of admiration for the junior Senator's person.
atty, and what will be done o n the second ballot is problematical. Hanna
is pulling one way, and Phtt and Quay, for Roosevelt another, and the
final outcome cannot yet be determined.
The scene at the West Virginia headquarters this evening was a
very lively one. There We're many callers, and earnest conferences and
a general good time marked both evening and the late hours of
night Tomorrow the situation may be clearer
