A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF CARRIZOSA

III bet my head for football that
within thirty days Carrizosa will be
town right" said Harry Alexander.
the general agent of the White Oaks
road to a group or men at the Sheldon.
Well like the senator who asked,
Where is DULUTH want to know
where Carrizosa isl" calculated one of
the group.
well. my boy, you have much to
learn" retorted Alexander. "and it al
ways gives me gigantic jag of joy to
enlighten dense ignorance. Know
then that Carrizosa is a point on the
Ell Paso and Northeastern about IA
miles from Ell PaSo. 1t has just been
plated and the plat / expect to receive
in a few minutes. 1t is the point
where the line which is to connect with
the Rock Island will be commenced.
1t is where all the material for con-
struction will be located and distribut-
ed In other words it will be the dis
tributing point for both roads. The
lots are going to be put no the market
right away and you can scratch me out
of the prophetic business if there isn't
a town there within thirty days.

Mrs. Annie Freeman and J. c. Yates
were arrested this afternoon upon a
warrant sworn out by B. s. Nilsson,
charged with bringing stolen prop
erty into the state.
Mrs. Freeman, during the recent
strike among the railway telegraph
operators, was employed by the Santa
Fe as operators at LATINA, N. M.
In December last Nilsson, whose
home is in Winston, N. c., was on his
way here and his trunk was left at the
depot at LATINA for short time. When
he arrived here and went to examine
the trunk he found that it had been
rif1ed of some of his clothes and jewel
ry to the amount of some $500.
Detective Ben Williams of the Santa
Fe was detailed on the case and with
the assistance of Constable Benton, it
is alleged located the missing proper
ty in the room of Mrs. Freeman.
The man Yates was in her room at
the time, it is said, and he was also
arrested as some of the property is
said to have been found in his posses
sion. He was also an operator on the
Santa Fe at Earlham.
Mrs. Freeman is the woman who
filed suit against the Santa Fe few
weeks ago claiming $4,000 damages as
result of injuries caused by the des-
truction of the depot while she was
working there as operator.

Sheriff Chandler and Max Kahler

NEWS OF
THE COURTS
The School House Burglar Thought
To Be In Custody.

The School House Burglar Thought
To Be In Custody.
The mystery surrounding the several
cleared up and the person believed to
have broken into the buildings is now
under arrest.
He is Leopold Lange, German who
has not been many years in America.
He was arrested by George Harold and
a quantity of the plumber was recov-
cred.
Lange's record is not a good one.
Only last month because of ill health
he was pardoned out of the peniten-
tiary where he had been sent to serve
a term of five years for burglary. Soon
after reaching the city he begun his
operations again and within month
three school houses were broken into
and clocks. books, ink wells. etc, were
taken.
A portion of the books were recov-
cred by Detective Harold at a second
hand dealers, where they had been sold
for song. and several of the clocks
were found in Lange's possession.
Others he sold or endeavored to sell.
1t was thought for a time that the
school house depredations had been
committed by tramps, but it is now be-
lieved that the prisoner is the guilty
party.
Jury Failed to Agree.
The jury in the suit of Minnie Haz-
card VS.. r. A. Allen failed to agree and
was discharged this morning. The suit
was instituted by the lady to recover
900 damages from the defendant on
the grounds that his saddle horse while
running away frightened her so badly
while she was riding her bicycle that
she fell off her wheel, injuring her head
and body.
The jury after being out since yester-
day was discharged this morning by
Judge Goggin and the case will be call
ed for trial again next term.
Sheriff After Alden Suspects.
The sheriff of Dona Ana county
reached the city today to convey the
suspects arrested here by the police,
back to his county seat.
The sheriff said he knew none of the
details of the murder near Alden and
did not know whether or not the guilty
men were those arrested, but he had
warrants for Garcia and Huertes and
they will be taken to Las Cruces for
trial.

AN ISLAND OF WIDOWS.

Every Husband Reading Upon 1t
Was Drowned by the Sinking of .
Boat.
island called -Aarlud which boasts the
unique distinction of being peopled ex-
clusively by widows. The circum-
stances under which this state of af-
fairs was brought about are no less
curious than distressing.
A short time since a man arrived
on the island from Haugesund. on the
participate in the spring egg gathering
While testing his ropes on a cliff pre-
paratory to commencing his search he
happened to make a false step forward
over the cliff. He was instantly killed.
AS there had. not been a death on the
island since IL years before, when a
boy was killed by a bowlder from the
same cliff falling on him, the occur
renee naturally cast a gloom over the
small community established there.
This consisted of some 80 fishermen
with their families. AS mark of
sympathy and respect all the men de-
termined to attend the funeral of the
unfortunate, which was to take place
at the cemetery at Haugesund, on the
mainland. But during the proceedings
at the burial ground a tremendous gale
arose. When the men returned to
their smack the storm was 1T it's
height.
After carefully considering the situa-
ton the 80 fishermen determined to
sail for Aarlud, and having taken ad-
vantage Of the opportunity to replenish
their household supplies the boat was
rather heavily laden. Their progress
through the angry sea was most anx-
fously watched by the people on the
mainland, who, when the boat had
gone the distance of about a mile and
q half from the coast. saw that the YES
sci was in great distress. Efforts were
at once made to go to it's assistance
but the heavy sea beat back every boat
that was launched. A few moments
afterward the unfortunate smack
forward into the trough OF the
roaming waves and forever disappear
ed from mortal view. Every one Of its
80 occupants was drowned, and on the
following morning their bodies were
found along the beach.
News of the disaster was as speedily
as possible conveyed to the island. Ev-
cry wife in the place had, by the dread
ful event. been made a widow, and out
of 30 as many as % were left without
any means of support These women
are now receiving assistance from the
Norwegian government, which is cred
Tied with the intention Of settling a
number of single men on the island as
soon as arrangements can be made.
Until that is done, however, all its wo-
men must of necessity remain widows.

Delegates Will Visit Washington to

Mckinley and Then Re-
port Back.

HAVANA, April 13-At the opening Of
today's secret session Of the constitu-
tional convention Senor Nunez asked
that the convention either reject or ac
cept the Platt amendment, as the resolu
tion adopted yesterday was net formal
declaration and was misleading. The
Conservatives considered the resolution
practically rejected the amendment, while
the Radicals and Radical press main
tanned chat 1t did not, and Senor Nunez
therefore asked that yea and nay vote
be taken. This was opposed by the Rad
icals, who have always avoided taking q
decided stand. The Conservatives were
pleased at the point, and, as a split was
threatened among the Radicals, COM
promise was offered and agreed to, by the
