AFTER THE SCALP OF VANCE.
Washington Indications Are That He Will
Not Be Reappointed.


Says a Washington dispatch The
New Mexico people in Washington are
now fighting over another office. The
party organization of the territory is
after Quinby Vance. surveyor general
of New Mexico. David ]. Leahy who
was a Rough Rider, or David NJ
White are mentioned for the place.
Delegate Rodey and other New
Mexico callers, talked with the presi-
dent today about the case. They are
all against Vance, and local indica-
tions are that he will land losing.
w. w. Haight, chief of the draught-
ing division, patent office, is very
busy man these days, all because he
happened at one time to live amid the
alkali deserts of New Mexico, says the
Times. That progressive territory is
now knocking loudly and persistently
at the doors Of congress for admission
into the sisterhood of states, which
right it claims has been unreasonably
denied for long time. Instilled by
pride to see another star added to the
flag and that star New Mexico, Mr..
Haight has been devoting his time and
incidentally all of his hard-earned
leave in pushing the claims of his
birthplace. His fellow employees at the
patent office have enjoyed much fun at
their chiefs first experience in lobby
ing, and are anxiously awaiting to
learn the result of his labors in the
new field.

MACLAY is SILENT.
he Will Not Send in His Resignation
as Requested.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Nothing has
been heard at the navy department
from Historian Maclay in response to
the departments request for his resig-
nation. Under the rules, an employe is
allowed three days grace to show
cause why he should not be dismissed,
and although this rule, having been
made by executive authority, may be
disregarded at it's pleasure, it is be-
lieved Maclay will be given reasonable
time to quit the naval service, for it is
certain he must 60. In line with the
determination already reached to stop
further discussion of the Schley case,
so far as the executive branch Of the
government is concerned, the navy
decided it will ignore the
reported utterances of Rear Admirals
Browne and Belknap, somewhat on
the lines of General Miles interview.
BY CIVIL SERVICE
LAW.
New York, Dec. 23.-Edgar S. Mac
lay declined to comply with President
request for his resigna-
tion. He formally notified Rear Ad-
miral Walker at the navy yard of this
decision. Maclay said he is protected
by the civil service law and knew no
reason why he should resign.

The END OF SLIPPERY STEVENS.
A Bullet Wound Put'an End to His Earthly
Career.

Slippery Stevens, horse thief, jail
breaker, hold-up and all around bad
man, who recently escaped from the
San Juan county jail at Aztec, wound
up his earthly career at Pagosa Junction,
Colorado, and suddenly departed for a
land where New Mexico deputy sheriffs
and newspaper men never 60.
Stevens arrived at Pagosa early last
Sunday morning on an east bound
freight train. About noon time he
called at Cadwell's hotel, volunteering
to chop wood in lieu of cash for his
dinner, and while seated at the table
three wandering musicians who had
stopped at Aztec in their travels and
had seen Stevens in jail, at once recog-
nized and bid him by name. Stevens
lost no time in leaving the dining room,
but instead OF striking out across coun.
try went to nearby saw mill, climbed
up over the boilers and removed his
shoes for the purpose of resting and
warming his feet.
1t soon, however, became noised
around who he was, and Constable E. G.
Games, being advised Of Stevens many
crimes and escapes, secured a forty-four
gun and set out to make an arrest. 1t
did not take him long to locate his man,
and walking up in front of him suddenly
drew his gun saying: "Stevens, am
an officer, hands up" Stevens smiled
sarcastically and in raising up his
hands attempted to bring into play the
revolver he had forcibly borrowed from
Jailer Carter of Aztec, with the result
that Games let drive and Stevens fell
over dead with bullet wound in his
head. 3a
