An Opportunity for Young Men to Enlist
In the Regular Service.

Captain F. C. Marshall of the 18TH
cavalry, with Sergeant c. l.. Lyons,
general recruiting service of the U. 5.

make enlistments for the regular army.
Applicants for enlistment should be
SINGLE men of good character between
the ages of IS and 80 years, who are ci-
tizenIs of the United States and who can
read and write.
The captain is especially anxious to
enlist Spanish Americans of good STAN
ding i'm the community, for service in
the Philippines islands. Those persons
who desire service in the United States
can choose between stations at Jeffer-
son barracks, Mo-, or Fort Meade, s..
D., both cavalry stations, or for the
3Oth infantry at Fort Logan, near Dem
ver Those who wish for service i'm the
Philippines can be enlisted for either
,th cavalry or infantry there. This pre-
sents an excellent opportunity for the
young men of the community to see
the new island possessions. Transports
going to the Philippians stop at Honolu-
lu anh Guam, and, returning, stop at
Nagasaki, in Japan. The period of en-
liStment is for three years.

ON THE TRACK OF MURDERERS.
Two Men Accused Of Heinous Grimes Are
Thought to Be in New Mexico

U. S. Marshal Foraker has received
printed descriptions and photographs
of Jesse B. Roper and Walter Gordon,
who are wanted by the authorities for

Sheriff A. j. Byler of Baxter county,
Ark, on June Is, 1892, and the latter for
a murder committed in Whitewater,
Manitoba, Canada, in September, 1900.
Both murderers are supposed to be
somewhere among the mines of this

worked i'm the San Pedro camp in this
county, a few years ago. The Canadian
government offers $1,000 reward for his
capture, while a good reward is offered
fer Roper by the state of Arkansas and
