DOUBLE MURDER.
Two Men Murdered at Harshaw In Cold Blood. Indignation at the Lenience
 of the Committing Magistrate

week word was received from Harshaw that two men had been killed at that place Thursday or Friday evening. but nc further particulars were obtained. Monday morning THE OASIS received the folio wing letter from a prominent resident of that region. which is given space as presenting the case clearly and with full knowledge of the facts
 "HARsHAw, April l4, 1901. EDITOR OF THE OASIS;
 ''I want to tell you something about the killing at Harshaw: The two men killed were miners working in the Hardshel mine-frst class, good workers; but on pay days they would get drunk. The man who did the killing was also miner who had worked at the uardshell, but had quit several days before the killing He is brother of the man who owns the saloon at Hardshell and his name is Francisco Valdez. The two killed were the Leal brothers. Valdez is tough. People about Calabasas sly that without doubt he is the man who killed Peterson near that place some time ago, and for money; but he weut free because the testimony was not. sufficient to convict him. He brags Of being tue partner of some desperado in Mexicn who has killed eighteen men The Leal brothers were drunk, while the man Valdez was sober--so say the Mexicans. There had been some quarreling earlier i0 the evening an the saloon had been somewhat wrecked: but this was later quarrel when Valdez shot thsm both down in cold blood Valdez shot the first one and he fell, then the murderer groped around in the dark, saying: Where is your head? want to fiaish you" He then placed his gun against the back of the prostrate mao and fired, burning the clothing and nfiicting another mortal wound Va dez then shot the other Leal thrnugh the neck or lung. and then when the man was down put another bal into his head. This victim s skull was broken, aud it is supposed that the murderer inflicted that in jury with the butt of his gun a re. vJlyer.
 After having done this Valdez went away to another house and said:
 "'I have started butcher shop up at the saloon, and have fresh beef there now
 file also said there were others he wanted and would get.
 Valdez was arrested, examined and his D1nd fixed at ONE THOUSAND DOL LARS by the committing magistrate. What do you think of that for two nun iers?
 Two sisters of the murdered men walked from Nogales to attend the buIi Il of their brothers.
 Murder is too frequent over here ana the authorities pay too little at tention to such crimes
 some time ago old man Soto was murdered near liars haw, and 1 dou't think any officer gave the crime a sec nd thought

Romance ii Old Housas.

There are standing at the prcse.it day
lslixabethan houses known to contain
hidden chambers; the very positions OF
these chambers can be shown, say the
London Chronicle, yet their secrets have
remained inviolate for centuries, the
spring that should serve as the open Sc
same being undiscoverable. Some day
the accidental touch of girls finger
may set a column Of stone rotating. or
a panel sliding, or a door in picture
frame retreating on invisible hinges, and
the sccret-if any rcmain-will be re-
vealed. The place of mystery in thssa
ancient oranges that served as a shelter
to a friend in distress might equally
prove the deathtrap Of an enemy OF the
house. The priests hole behind fire
place was easily converted into an oven!
There were staircases which the foot OF
a friend might press in perfect security
another, not instructed how to tread
sets his foot apparently on the same
place-the stair yawns open, and at the
end of the pit is the water, Here is
much romance.

Good and Bad Ronds.

The recent automobile race from
Paris to Berlin attracted International
attention because Of the keen interest
which is just now taken in the me"
chanical vehicle. While Europeans
were chiefly concerned in the perform
ance of the distinctive types of ma
chimes, Americans could not avoid the
thought that such race is virtually
impossible in this country under con-
ditions promising any fair test Of quail
ity. There are no such roads here as
those which in Europe permit inter-
city automobiling and wheeling. Our
highways, save for short distances
outside of the larger cities, are dis
gracefully rough and unkept. Much
has been done in the past few years
to awaken the people to sense of this
condition, and the movement has been
greatly accelerated by the wide popu'
larity which the bicycle and the auto
mobile have gained. 1t is to be hoped
that the race of last week will so stim-
ulate the pride Of the American steam
and electric machine owners that
dozen years hence it will be possible
to organize q thousand-mile race out
of any one of score Of scattered cities
under ideal road conditions.
It is q noteworthy fact that until
very recently nothing has been done
in this country to collect and study
road statistics. The good roads divi-
sion of the Department of Agriculture,
which has been doing excellent work
for several seasons. has lately under
taken to remedy this defect and Is
now engaged in gathering data as to
the character and number of vehicles
which use certain roads. 1t Is hoped
that in this manner 1t may be possible
to demonstrate by figures the extent
to which the highways are used by
various classes. This will permit the
study of an accurate basis OF the wear
ing qualities OF different road ma
terials under varying conditions. The
institution of this inquiry leads to the
hope that by thus systematically APP
preaching the subject the Govern
ment's bureau may eventually arouse
the interest of State legislatures to the
point of the enactment of uniform
highway laws, 1t is only by concerted
action in this manner and by the adop-
ton of even standards of excellence
in all the States that roads will be pro-
duced which will compare favorably
with those Of Europe. - Washington

Ta,,,,Du and making Good Roads.

wy He Kentucky Good Roads
Convention recently held IN
louisville resulted in the for
nation of permanent State
Good Roads Association, which VIII
hold annual conventions hereafter.
Most conventions are devoted chiefly
to speechmaking, and the Kentucky
Good Roads Convention was no ex-
ception to this rule. How could 400
Kentuckians in convention assembled
restrain themselves from indulging
literally in oratory?
The Kentucky roadmakers did not
confine themselves to speechmaking,
however. A "Good Roads" train load
ed with samples OF roadmaking ma
ch.nery was sent to the meeting place
CT the convention by the National
Good Roads Association. Those Ill
charge of this train graded mile OF
dirt road with the most effective ma
chinery now in use for that purpose,
and invited the convention to be pres
ent and see it done. The delegates to
the convention have since scattered
themselves to the four corners of Ken
lucky to teach their neighbors how to
make the best possible dirt roads with
the smallest outlay Of the taxpayers
money. The "Good Roads" train, with
it's machinery, is travelling from con-
vention to convention, furnishing prac-
teal object lessons in good road build
ing.
This practical feature OF the ken-
lucky Good Roads Convention marks
a distinct and notable advance in the
evolution of country highways. For
more than half century the Amerl-
can people have concerned themselves
chiefly with the construction and ex-
tension of railways. While doing so
they have neglected the local high
ways, evidently satisfied that any old
road would do to drive over to the
nearest railway station. They are
getting rid of this idea, however, and
are recognizing the necessity for bet
ter country highways. Good roads
conventions serve an excellent educa-
tional purpose in this direction, and
when those who participate in the pub
lie agitation of the subject are per-
mitted to secure practical instruction
in modern road building a double pur-
pose is served. The Kentucky Good
Roads Convention, with it's mile of
practical roadmaking, should become
an example for all future Good Roads
conventions to follow. When the adj
vocates and makers OF good roads
shall travel hand in hand marked
Improvement of the road system Of
the country will be speedily visible
