from the Philippines presented to
Cenicu Tribe No. 2. Improved Order
of Red Men, three trophies which were
captured in engagements on the 18th
of July, the Goth of August and on the
I'd of September of last year on the
island of LuZOn-
The trophies are short swords or
machetes. and are called ''bolos." He
also presented a Japanese curio of the
same character. The trophies will be
treasured by the tribe, and will be the
cause of the name of H. b.. Owen being
ever remembered as a Chief-who in
keeping with the basic principle. which
is stalwart patriotism. of the only and
original American fraternal and bene-
fetal order-worthy of perpetuation
and emulation.
Mr.. Owen is a charter member of
Cenicu Tribe. Shortly after becoming
a member he enlisted in this city; he
was assigned to the 18th cavalry under
Captain George Curry and has been in
active service ever since in the field in
the Philippines. After his departure

MRS. FREEMAN IS
SAID TO BE DYING.
1t is Possible hat the EX-Santa Fe
Agent May Not Liv eto Stand Trial
on the Charges Against Her.

Mrs. w. J.. Freeman may never be
arraigned in the courts of this county
to answer the numerous charges of
bringing stolen property into the state
preferred against her by h Santa Fe
railway.
She may within a few hours be sum-
moned before a higher tribunal than
any court ever established on earth.
The woman is lying at the point
of death at 300 Main street and those
who have taken an interest in her well
fare assert today that h canno last

The collapse came yesterday. when
she was stricken at 5 o'clock last e

and since hen she has been on the
verge of dissolution. One side is en-

to perform its functions.
Yesterday, although she "a still

woman was compelled to remove from

exercise proved too great for her and
last night she grew rapidly worse.

q After reading the account of the fire

The fire boys were in no way to

or city before that could boast of hav-
ing a fire engine, hat the engine did

motors which were in use twenty years

Had the engine rolled out of the fire

smoke stack she o u nave been ready

GREW FROM So TO s2O2.
Deposit of So Nearly so Years Ago
Finds Its Owner in Hudson.

That truth is stranger than fiction
has been illustrated anew in Hudson
by a most remarkable event. A few
days ago an advertisement appeared in
a New York paper asking for the adj
dress of any heirs of the Hansam fam
lily. who lived in Hudson in 1921. Ezra
A. Traver spoke of it to Rossman
Huested. who remembered at once that
Hansam was the name of Mrs. Mary
G.. Little. who lives with her family
at No. 35S Union street.
Mr.. Huested took the notice. which
was inserted by the Bank of Savings.
New York. to Mrs. Little. who recalled
that nearly so years & a friend of
hers had placed SO IN deposit for her
in that bank. and a little later in the
same year another friend had deposit
ed 81 more. The event Mrs. Little
clearly remembered and even the
names Of the two friends, Messrs. Car
penter and White. At that time she
was but q small child, her name being
Mary Gardner Hansam.
Steps were at onc taken to procure
the necessary Identification papers. and
the bank was communicated with by
Edmund Holley. president of h Hud-
son City Savings institution. He was
notified that the S. now amounted to
5000 and would be forwarded upon
the proper proofs. These have been
mailed to New York and Mrs. Little
will shortly receive this sum. which
will come almost in the shape of a
birthday present. as she will celebrate
her S4th birthday the last day of

talked about her to the family owning
the house at which she was stopping.
The physician said her removal might
result fatally. but she had to go and
she vent.
Judge Uvalde Burns has been taking
an active interest in Mrs. Freeman's
case yer since she employed him as
counsel. He secured bondsmen for
her and signed the bond himself. She
is in destitute circumstances and i'll,
but he has seen hat she was provided
for. At present she is being attended
by two physicians and a trained nurse.

!: Mining Notes

Clark f. Friend has just returned
from a trip to Leon where he and other
FL PaSo parties own the Paul Hammett
mine. located near con The owners
have bonde dthe property to some Miss
|issippi peOpel and it is now Ueing work
ed by them. Mr.. Friend states that in
the bottom of the shaft which is about
80 feet deep, lead ore in large Quanti-
ties have been struck. Also, while
working on the surface cutting a new
trail they found quantities of solid ga
lena.
Word has been received here that
GLEN brothers of Shafter. Texas. are
about to put a large force of men to
work to develop their copper property.
1t rs located just across the frontier in
Mexico and opposite Sharfte. At pres
ent o 100 feet of work has been
done IN it. 1t is a high grade copper
proposition and development work will
b epushed vigorously from now on.
The owners of the Superior mine, sit
uated at Lordsburg, N. NJ, are prepar-
ing to work that property for all that
there is in it. All the owners are Ell
Paso people and the story of the man
ner in which they have worked the
property is an exemplification of what
grit and nerve is required in wooing
the precious metals from the embrace

old mine patented as far back as 1879,
long before the railroads penetrated to
hat section of the country. The
amount of development done indicates
that the mine wa sa valuable one then
and that a great deal of ore had been
taken out of it. AS a matter of act it
is the biggest mine in the district to-
day. There are over half a mile of
underground workings alone. The
shaft is down 40 feet and one of the
tunnels is over 200 feet long. The ores
contain gold. silver n copper and>so
far yield on an average of $50 a ton.
There are several veins but the main
vein is a true fissure vein.
The Ell PaSo people h now own
the property took hold of it about two
years ago. In sinking the shaft they
went through over 200 feet of country
rock without striking the slightest in
dication of ore. They kept plugging
away, however. and finally struck what
they were looking for. In one year
they have shipped $40, 900 worth of ore
after %deducting freight and smelter
charges. This money they have put
right back into further development.
Now they have a vein thirty-three
inches wide n expect to make heavy
shipments of ore right along common
cling within the mex two or three days.
A pumping plant has already been in
stalled and the company is just 10Y
putting in a new blower. AS soon as
enough money is on hand they will
put in a concentrating plant and treat
the ore at the mine.

TO KEEP THE HOUSE COOL.
what Can BE Done to Make 1t a Com-
Portable, Restful Place I'm
Hot Weather.

Many things can be done to make
even the small house comfortable,
restful place in hot weather, writes
Maria Parloa, in Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Of course the windows must be
properly shaded with blinds or avn
ings, and also well screened. All the
heavy hangings should be removed,
and when possible the carpets should
be taken up or covered with linen.
Cool colors, such as white, gray, light
greens and blues, should take the place
of the warmer colors. Thin white
muslin curtains soften the light. The
house should be well aired and summed
at least once day. The early morning
is best for this. Open all the windows
and blinds and let the sun and air pour
through the house. About nine o'clock
close the blinds and all the windows
except one or two downstairs and two
or three upstairs. In the open win
dowE place wet grass screens, or cover
the regular screens with wet flannel.
When the sun goes down open all the
windows and blinds. A skylight or
window should be kept-ope night and
day in the attic, except, of course,
when it rains. The cellar Windows
should be open only at night. If they
are not closed during the heat of the
day the warm, moisture-ladeD air en-
ters the cellar and condenses on walls,
pipes, metals, etc, and in few days
will make it SO damp as to be an un-
suitable place for keeping food.

THE HAWKS rEEprNo LESSON
Dimcuit Task set the Youns BIrds by
the Mother Cfeverly Per-
formed.

In the "Reminiscences Of an Old
Falconer" an interesting account Is
given OF the way in which falcon
instructs her young in the art II
catching its prey. While fishing In
q wild loch OF Argyllshire Maj. Fisher
heard the cry Of young hawk to its
parent, aud soon discovered three
young peregrine falcons sitting side
by side on a shelf of rock overhanging
the water. Presently the old bird
came into view. and the major watched
an entertaining performance.
The mother came like dot out OF
the sky and made straight for her
vociferous young. She poised high
above the shelf on which they were
sitting, and, TO n.y surprise. dropped
the bird she was carrying. She had
so chosen her position that the bird
cleared the rock as it fell toward the
lake.
Instantly young bird number one
dashed of the elf. Evidently this was
not it's first lesson, for she hurled her
self in a beautiful stoop. and actually
caught the bird before IL reached the
water.
She was not allowed to enjoy II. how
ever, for down came the old falcon
and with the utmost grace snatched
II from the young ones grasp, and
ascended in rapid rings to the height
Of several hundred feet. Thadiscom-
fited youngster. with greater difficult
ty, returned TO the rocky shelf.
The old hawk repeated the maneu-
YER, dropping the prey this time in
front Of number of two.
The young al knew their lesson. for
neither number one nor number three
ventured to stir. 1t was number two
who started in pursuit. and. like her
sister, succeeded in intercepting the
falling prey before it reached the wa
ter.
The old hawk did as before, snatch
ing the prey from her offspring. Ris-
ing high in air, she this time dropped
1t before number three, who in turn
! caught 1t. But he was not allowed
to possess the prize. The old hawk
now ascended to the shelf beside the
young ones, tore the prey in pieces,
and seemed to divide It pretty equally
among her hungry and expectant
progeny.

Apart from the great use that the

panions in the solitude of the far

tion l had presented to each of the
members dog, and a great affec.
tion arose between the masters and
their dumb companions. Members
often retired to some quiet corner,
petting their favorite dog; the lives,
the struggles and the suffering of the
dogs helped to take the members out
OF themselves, and thus assisted ma
terially the common welfare of our
small community. Suddenly the whole
pack of 70 seemed to agree upon kill
ing one of their number, Fsr days
they watched for an opportunity, and
the unfortunate and doomed dog
seemed at once to realize that the
sentence of death had been passed.
He sought refuge with us and would

rush upon him and tear him into
