BULLET IN HIS HEAD.
Attempted eIf-Destruction on Ac-
count Of Family Troubles.
VICTIM STILL ALIVE.

Perfecto Valdez, of Lyden, Rio Ar
riba county, who is about 81 years old,
made a desperate attempt to commit
suicide about Z o'clock Saturday norm
ing. He secured a 3S-caliber revolver
and shot himself in the center of the
forehead. Inc revolver was held so
close that the powder split the skin in
all directions and the hole in the head
is of such a size that the surgeon here
inserted his first finger the full length
in his attempt to find the bullet. Val
dez was brought to st. Vinceht's hos
pital in Santa Fe Saturday night by
DIR. Conover, and on his arrival walked
up the stairs. A small part of the bull
let has been found but the course of
the main part is not known. Valdez
has not been unconscious a minute,
his eyesight and hearing are not affect
ed and on Sunday he sat up in bed and
ate heartily of soup. Yesterday he
seemed to be better and the indica-
lions are that he will recover. Domes-
tic trouble was the cause of the at
tempt.

Joke on Hunters.

A couple of local hunters, whose
names are known to the few who know
the joke, went down to Los Lunas one
day last week in search of sport and
game. They got the sport but no
game. They hired a man at Los Lunas
who knew all about the country and
where game "a plenty. This man
had a horse and wagon, and drove the
hunters down to some imaginary lakes
near Tome. The man drove away and
left them to walk back to town, some
six miles. They failed to make connec
tons with the plentiful game and of
course anne home foot sore and dis
appointed.

with = Grain of Salt.

The earliest record of the saying,
with a grain of salt" dates back to
the year 63 B. c., when the great Pom
pey entered the palace Of Mithridates
and discovered among his private pa
pers the description Of an antidote
against poisons Of all sorts, which was
composed of pounded herbs. These, &C.
cording to the recipe. were to be taken
with a grain of sale Whether this was
meant seriously or as a warning sar-
casm Ia not known, but thenceforth 1t
became the custom to say that doubt
full preparations should be taken with
grain Of salt.
From this the meaning got trans
ferred to sayings Of doubtful truth.
Attic salt" was Greek synonym for
wit or penetration, and the Latin word
"sa" had somewhat of the same mean
Ing 1t is thus easy to see how the
saying, Cum grano Sails" could have
come to mean the necessity Of accept
Ing doubtful or suspicious statements
with grain of salt"

to the great fairs on the edge of the

heavy Liquidation Carries Down the
Price If Stocks.
WILD, RUMORs SET ON FOOT,
buying Orders Coming to Support
OF Market, Rally Follows, Sue
ceeded by Another Slump
and Later Rally.

New York, Nov. 11.-For a moment
at the opening Of the stock market it
looked as though the bottom had fallen
out. A mass of selling orders was
poured upon the market, and prices
fell with rush. Then came q rally,
In which prices recovered in full or in
part. This in turn was succeeded by
a slump in which prices dropped
throughout the list.
In this movement net losses of
II points in Air Brake, 10 points in
Rock Island, Gpoints in Republic Steel
preferred and points in 800" were
notable.
Net losses Of from to points were
general. Brooklyn Union Gas lost 3,
Colorado Fuel 4, st. Paul 2As, Louis
vile and Nashville 2A, Reading ~
and Metropolitan 2. Manhattan, South
ern Pacific, United States Steel pre-
ferred, Copper, Alton, Illinois Central
and Erie all lost nearly points.
The market later became compare
!. lively quiet, and buying orders at the
low figures aided in steadying 1t.
A Many Bear Rumors.
G. All sorts of rumors were circulated
during the afternoon, however, to aid
the efforts of the bears to break prices.
One of these rumors affected one of the
biggest operators of the street, who
was said to be hard pressed by the
bears. Another was that ]. p. Morgan
was ill. The latter was authoritatively
denied. The former lacked confirma-
ton.
The sales of stocks tn the first two
hours were at the rate of 100000
shares for the day. In the opening an
especial drive was made against United
States Steel preferred, which dropped
in few moments "a points, only to
rebound Il full point however.
Initial losses ranged from one-half
point to points or more Republic
Steel preferred fell 5. Delaware and
Hudson, about whose dividend there
have been evil rumors, lost 2. Balti-
more and Ohio lost a point. Erie lost
1h and Southern Pacific /.
The bears and frightened holders of
long stock seeking to liquidate soon
met strong buying sentiment and
their offerings were SO rapidly absorbed
that tine market rallied appreciably,
and in some instances the forced losses
were more than made up.
Reading and st. Paul exhibited
strength under attack, but after the
first rally these weakened. Southern
railway was sold heavily. The market
exhibited great feverishness upon a
later rally. Stocks moved up and down
frequently. st. Raul,covered the wild
est range. but the list generally held
well above the lowest.
