WOUND NOT DANGEROUS.
Lawrence Ficlden Will Recover From
Ills Accidental Shot.

Lawrence Fielden, the boy who was
accidentally shot yesterday afternoon
with a % rife, and thought to have
been seriously wounded, is reported
much better today and the attending
physicians say that unless blood poison
sets in, he will recover. 1t was at first
thought by the physicians that the ball
which entered his side and ranged up
ward, had lodged in his lungs, but on
closer examination they four' that it
had cut through the lung and had
lodged somewhere in the breast.
Bert Skinner, sun of j. A. Skinner,
tic boy VINO did the shooting, says that
his gun did not explode accidentally,
but that he and Fielden and some
other boys were shooting at a tin can.
He was standing up and Fielden was
sitting on the ground in front of him.
Fielden had shot at the can and hit it,
and in his excitement and boyish glee
he jumped up just as Skinner fired at
the tin can. Skinner did not know at
first that he had shot Fielden, but on
after thought decided as he was the
only one besides Fielden shooting at
that time, it was a ball from his rifle
tha. did the mischief. There were three
22 rifles, Christmas presents, and a
shot gun in the crowd.
1t will be remembered that only a
couple of weeks ago woman was shot
near the ice works. by stray bullet
from 22 rife. On that occasion a
crowd of boys living on the Highlands
were shooting in the same vicinity.

THE CoCH|TI INDIANS.
The Government Has Appropriated
Funds for Their Relief.
THEY ARE IN NEED OF HELP.

J. b. Harper, of the United States
irrigation department who is superin-
tending the work being done by the
government for the Indians of the Co
chiti reservation, has been spending
several days in the city buying sup
plies, and left this morning on his re-
turn to the reservation. .no
Although very little has been said
about the work being done by the gov
ernment for the Indians of the pueblo
Of Cochiti. it is a great good work and
the benefit received therefrom will be
far reaching.
For a number of years the Rio
Grande has not furnished sufficient
water to nourish the crops planted by
the Indians, and as a consequence they
have for several winters been on the
verge of starvation. The river would
furnish water in the spring and the
crops would start nicely. Toward mid
summer the water in the river would
fail and only half crop would be har-
vested The attention of the govern
ment was called to the existing state
of affairs and last June Mr.. Harper Wis
tied the drouth stricken district with
view TO furnish it relief If possible.
He noted the lay of the country and
being a civil engineer saw that by lit
tie expense water could be brought
from farther lp the country to- good
advantage. lie returned to Washing
ton and recommended that an appro-
priation be made with which TO do the
work.
With the help of Delegate B. s. Ro-
dey and other friends of the territory
an appropriation of SS,400 was set
aside by congress for the purpose.
Mr.. Harper was seen by a Citizen
reporter this morning before leaving
and stated that the work was already
In progress, and that he had some fifty
Indians at work making a rock cut,
which is necessary to the success of
the project. He says that not only will
the Indians and cettlers of the Cochiti
district be benefited by the increase
in the water supply, but will do all
the work and get nice sum of the
money appropriated in wages.
The Cochiti district is along the Rio
Grande in the northern part of Berna-
lilo county.

Rome. Dec. Ambassador Meyer
today presented to the foreign once
President Roosevelt's note on the sub
ject of Venezuelan arbitration. The
president says although he is very
gratified at the confidence the powers
have shown in him by choosing him as
arbitrator. which position he would
have accepted If there were no other
means of solving the question, he
thinks it better to submit the case to
The Hague tribunal. especially as all
powers concerned are willing. The
president adds that as there is no ques-
ton of national honor or cession of
territory involved, after thorough con-
sideration and in accord with all the
powers concerned who have shown an
honorable spirit of mutual eonsidera-
tion and moderation. he is glad to be
informed that they all have agreed to
submit the question to The Hague
tribunal. ~

in true Maine style IN the outdoors un-
der a cheerful sun. is rather an unus-
ual occurrance. and probably doesn't
occur anywhere but in New Mexico.
Such was the manner of little party
given by Mrs. Olin at her University
hill residence on Christmas day.
The guests sat down to dinner about
o'clock in the afternoon and wore
no extra wraps. The sun was bright
and the air pure and crisp. but not
cold, with just enough frost In 1t to
show the steam circling from the plum
pudding and to sharpen the appetite.
A camera was called into usefulness
and pictures taken as souvenirs and
tokens of remembrance of the happy
event.
The guests were: Mesdames Olin,
Moore. Soltwedel, Misses Cavanaugh.

Fault of Operator.

Montreal, Dec. 27.-Superintendent
McGuigan, of the Grand Trunk rail-
way, says that his information is there
are about twenty-five killed and thirty
injured, but a reliable list has not
reached him. He cannot understand,
he says, how the operator who is
charged with the mistake, made such
a blunder. He is one of the oldest and
most reliable of operators, the superin-
tendent added. He went in service
with the Great Western railway in
1877. He appears to have failed to
give the order to the passenger train
to meet the freight at the station.

FREE RIDE TO THIS CITY,
They Took Possession of a Dead Head
Chair Car at Las VEGAS.

Four good natured but unfortunate
financially railroad boys were
brought before Judge Crawford this
morning charged with vagrancy. But
they all plead not guilty and then their
stories were told.
The sensational part of their adven-
lures began at Las Vegas, where they
were stranded. Passenger train No. l
carried a dead head chair car. Not
wishing to see any of the comforts of
the Santa Fe go TO waste they took
possession of the car. The conductor,
in making his rounds. tried to unlock
the door, but his key was no good for
the keyholes ,sere fixed and every
thing was in favor of the special party
inside, who would not respond TO the
infuriated conductor.
When Albuquerque was reached the
party within attempted to alight from
the windows, forgetting that there
were doors. But Officer Barton's large
arms caught them like a fire net as
they dropped from the windows.
AS. no charge had or could be filed
against them by the railroad, and the
charge of vagrancy would not hold
good, they were released. They had no
bearing to the hobo, but were all work
ing men and Of good appearance.

FrightfuI Collision on Canadian
Railway.
MANY WERE KILLED AND INJURED
Wonderful Activity Of the Msthodists
Of the United States.
MEETING OE AMERICAN HISTORIANS

London, Ontario, Dec. PA fright
ful collision occurred last night be-
tween a passenger and freight train on
the Grand Trunk railroad at Wanstead
station, on the Sarnia branch of that
road and according to latest reports
from the scene of the accident thirty
persons were killed and thirty-six were
injured. The passenger train was the
Pacific express, No. 5, west bound. 1t
was running at a high rate of speed,
and the freight, which was proceeding
east under a slow headway, was to
have taken the switch at Wanstead to
allow the passenger train to pass. APP
parently neither engineer saw the dan
ger in time to avert the accident. for
the two engines came together near
the west switch with frightful crash,
overturning into ditch. The baggage
and express cars telescoped into the
smoker with appalling results. The
wreck was complete and it is thought
hardly a single passenger in the
smoker escaped injury. Other cars of
the passenger train remained on the
track
Word was quickly sent to this. city
and doctors were soon on the scene.
The work of removing the dead and in
jured was then proceeded with.
The wreck, shortly after the col
lision, caught fire and but for the
heroic efforts of brigade of passen-
gers, organized and led by an old man,
who was himself passenger on the i'll
fated train, the disaster might have
been more disastrous to those pinned
down in the wreck. By heroic efforts
this brigade put out the fire by throw
ing snow on the flames with their hats
and hands. They then turned their
efforts toward getting out the wounded
who had their sufferings increased by
binding snow storm and thermom-
eter near zero. The dead and injured
are arriving in London by special train
ing the dead and caring for sufferers
is being hurried as fast as possible.
The accident is said to be due to the
failure of the operator to give orders
to the express train to meet the freight
at the station.
Following is partial and official list
of the identified dead:
Alex. Stewart, Petrolia, Ont. Mrs
Alex Stewart. Petrolia, Ont; A. Rick
etts, Carnia Tunnel, fireman; j. Gillies,
Sarnia Tunnel, engineer; Mrs Trotter

POLICE COURT.
Peace Disturbers and Hoboes Up Be-
fore Justice Crawford.

There was plenty doing in police
court this morning. Perhaps it was
because many wanted to get rid Of
their evil nature before the day Of
good resolutions and reformations.
Monte Jack" whose name was reg
istered on the police records for dis
tur6ing the peace on the row" was
there. The girls could not stand for
Jacks wanting to make trouble and
had him placed In .-e cooler. This
morning he was fined SIS, which he
paid with resolutions to stop dat"
troubleness.
Cebastia Dencia was on the bench
for getting drunk and causing trouble.
He was charged with trying to get in
to the house of Mrs. Shoemaker. She
could not "sabe" the Italian, and be-
coming frightened called for help. 1t
developed that Dencia had no inten-
tion of harming --.e woman, but want
ed her to deliver a note for him. Be-
cause she refused to talk to him he
began to swear and pound on the door.
The only time he used English was
when he swore, and then 1t was fast
and furious. The judge gave him the
full extent of the law for his offense.
The third act opened with eight un-
attractive specimens of humanity, who
were all good comedians when It
came to answering the judges ques-
LIONS. Their names were either Will
lam. John or Jim, with Smith. Jones
or some other names attached. Most
of them were arrested last night and
the Judge had some difficulty in finding
any resemblance between the names
last night and those given lnis morn
ing. A name can be easily changed In
the jail, without making any noise.
Tney were sent to the chain gang.
Two colorei men who recently stray
ed from the deacons's flock were given

Jim Jones. a typical mining man,
was sent over for sixty days for carry
ing concealed weapons around the
streets. Jones had been in town about
three hours when he was arrested.

Cleveland, Dec. 27.-The heavy snow
storm which began here Wednesday
last still continues today with no signs
of abating. Nearly fourteen inches of
snow has fallen on the level, while the
drifts in exposed places measure three

roads are running behind schedule
time.
