DIED FROM EFFECTS
Of Removing an Arm Crushed Between
Two Cars.

Two UdfS,
VIM. Hayward, fireman on the
White Oaks, had his arm crushed be-
tween two cars at this place last Friday.
The member was so badly mangled that
amputation became necessary, and it
was taken off about the middle Of the
upper arm. He died from the shock of
the operation Sunday at 1890 o'clock,
never rallying from the time the opera
tion was made Saturday.
Haywards home was in Snow Hill,
Maryland, where father, mother and
sister morn his loss. He was duti-
full son and brother and was paying
for the education of his sister in Mary
land, who was to graduate in June, this
year.
The hospital corps arranged TOR his
burial and great number of railway
men attended the funeral. He was
thirty years of age.

used In curing hides by the great pack

value for other purposes; at least with

transportation charges and the cost of

iaI train left the Ell Paso & Northeastern
depot with 200 excursionists aboard for
CloudcrOft. 1t was the annual eXcur-
sion of the Hook and Ladder company,
though there were not half dozen
members of the company on the excur-
sion, fact which caused friends and
guests to wonder why it voted to have
such an outing if the members did not
intend to be on hand to entertain their
guests. However, Mr.. Adolph Schultz,
a member of the committee in charge
was on hand and did everything in his
power to make the trip pleasant for the
guests of his company, and his efforts
in that line met with excellent results.

Indians Who May Vote.

At the approaching Presidential cleo
tion a considerable body of new voters,
made up of Indians whose tribal rela-
tions have been broken up and who
have become full citizens OF the United
States will help somewhat to increase
the uncertainty of tho result. 1t will
be found when the present census is
completed that the number of taxable
Indians has increased by reason OF the
breaking up of more reservations and
the enforced Independence OF certain
tribes that have been the wards of the
government for years. And If the pol
ley that is being pushed now is carried
forward consistently every Indian In
the country will be enfranchised before
another Presidential election.
In the western part of this state, a
large number of Indians have been en-
franchised in the last two years. One
hundred and sixty acres of land Were
ceded to each by the u. S. Government
and though the land is practically
worthless, the grant carries with it the
full rights of citizenship.

over that section of country, and that
the old district is again showing signs
of life and activity. The properties
which are now being prospected lie
about fifty miles northeast of Eureka
on the east side OF Newark valley, and
at the present time there are about 20

Washington, August 31.-The Russian
note relative to the withdrawal of Rus
STA from China and the United States
response thereto were made public today
by the state department after the cabi-
net had fully considered the eXpediency
of so doing The correspondence Is unique
I'm the history OF diplomatic exchanges
1t may be said to Illustrate clever
move by which the United States gov
eminent again has assumed the lead in
prescribing the policy of the powers re-
speeding the Chinese trouble. This was
accomplished by the state department
availing itself of the Russian note to adj
dress to the powers an inquiry as to
their policies an answer TO which can
scarcely be avoided.
Various meanings may be placed upon
the statements of the two principals to
this correspondence. Thus on the one
hand il may be noted that while Russia
announces a purpose TO withdraw her
troops from China, still, as to the occu-
pving force at Niu Chwang, n condition
is attached that almost negatives the
proposition as TO that point. Respecting
our o.n attitude. IT appears that, while
believing the best course TO pursue is 10
remain in Pellln. our government Is stii
willing TO withdraw. Perhaps this means
that If there Is to be separate action
by the powers I'm China. the l nited
states proposes TO deal with the situa-
ton with free hand.
II may be noted I'm connection with
cur withdrawal statement that whereas
Russia proposed TO withdraw from
china. our offer is TO withdraw only
from Pel<in. A significant fact In this
connection Is that. General Chafee, who
IS well advised of the situation, having
several days ago been directed to pre-
mare for Just such an emergency as that
nrecipitated by. the Russian action, con-
tinuos his preparations for wintering
ths American troops I'm China. Indeed
unless the men are afloat and out of the
Pei 10 within the next six weeks, they
are likely TO remain in China perforce'

rnents IN the situation, a compendious
