Mr. f, Gabriel, the Well Known Liq-
uOr Dealer, Dies Very Suddenly.
Was Found This Morning at His Room
Adjoining the st. Nicholas
Hotel.
WAS A NATIVE OF GERMANY

Mr.. Felix Gabrlel. proprietor OF the
Market Saloon on South Second street,
was found dead in his chair in his
room adjoining the st. Nicholas hotel,
on South Third street, this morning
about $3.50 O'Clock. The body was
still warm, indicating that he died an
hour or two before, probably while
preparing to dress.
Mr.. Gabriel had been i'll but short
time. He had room at Mr.. VIM.
Bogeno's, and when i'll always COM
planned to Mr.. Bogeno. For the past
two weeks he had complained Of not
feeling we'll, but was not seriously Ill
until yesterday, when about noon he
was Frustrated by an attack of conges-
ton. DR.. Robertson was called and
left him medicine, admonishing him
to take it, but it appears he did not
take but two capsules out of the sup
ply.
One of the ladies there advised him
to have some one remain with him
during the night to attend him in case
he became worse, but he did not seem
to think his condition was serious, and
declined.
Mr.. Bogeno went in this morning
to see how he was, and found him
dead in the chair. He called DR..
Robertson, and the indications were
that Mr.. Gabriel died from q second
attack of congestion.
The deceased was IS years old, and
a native of Germany. He was born
in Prussia, and came to this country
when 10 years old. He was a highly
educated man, and spoke both German
and French, being quite q German
scholar. His mother now resides in
Prussia, and is very wealthy woman,
and Mr.. Gabriel would have inherited
considerable money from her. He
was an unmarried man, and the only
relative he has in America is an uncle
in New Orleans. Mr.. Julius Freyhan,
the millionaire cotton broker.
Mr.. Gabriel resided in Bayou Sara,
Louisiana. before he came here, and
when the Globe Liquor company was
established at Third and Court streets
seven or eight years ago, he was
brought here by Dreyfus and We'll to
manage it. This he did until it went
out of business, when he entered bust
ness for himself at Second and Broad
way, subsequently at First and Broad
way, where he remained until he NOV
ed into his present location, on Second
street, between Broadway and Court.
Mr.. Gabriel was man of few
words, but those VINO knew him liked
him. He was gentleman who was
unassuming in all things, but was o
scholar and man liked by all his &C.
auaintances. He had been moderately
successful in his business ventures
since he came to Paducah.
Coroner William Peal this morning
held an inquest, and the verdict of the
jury read that the deceased died from
congestion.
No funeral arrangements have yet
been made, and telegram asking for
instructions as to the disposition Of
the remains has been sent his uncle at
New Orleans.

Police Puzzled Over a Woman who
Seems to be Shrewd or Crazy.
She Was Arrested For Shop Lifting
and Held to Answer BY
Judge Sanders.
NOTES OF POLICE COURT

Chief Collins caught tartar yester-
day afternoon late when he had
rather good looking brunette arrested
at the Union depot ON a charge Of
shop lifting. Today the police know
no more about her than they did yes
terday. She is the most mystifying
character Chief Collins ever came
across in the criminal line, and he
does not know whether to class her
with professional thieves. klepto--
maniacs or lunstics.
1t is not known how long she has
been in the city, but she has dark
hair, grey eyes, rather long nose,
approaching the Roman, and face
that would be called thin. She is
apparently about 20 years old, slender,
with fall bust.
The woman has been at various
boarding houses, at each of which she
seems to have stolen everything she
could lay her hands on. At nearly
every one, however, the evidence
against her was so plain that she was
accused of theft and made to disgorge.
Yesterday afternoon she went into
FOLKS clothing and dry goods store on
Broadway and asked to look at some
goods. She went to the dressing room
to try some waists on, and while there
got away with a shirt and waist worth
So, which she concealed under her
own clothing. She bought some other
things and after making q pretense Of
looking for her purse, said she had left
it at her boarding house, and asked
that a clerk be sent with her.
The clerk went, but she failed to
produce, and he made her wrap up the
goods so he could take them back.
One of the articles was hat, and
when the clerk took it sne calmly
went to the rack and took another
from it, it afterwards proving to be
that of the woman who kept the
boarding house.
In the meantime other goods had
been missed from the Folz store and
Chief Collins was notified. The
woman was caught at the depot by
Officer Tom Orr, and the stolen goods
were found on her. When she got to
police headquarters she had to take off
the stolen clothes and wear one of
Lieutenant Moore's uniform coats.
Later she was provided with proper
clothing.
Chief Collins, Captain Bailey and
Lieutenant Moore attempted to pump
her by the sweating process" but
not thing could they get out of her.
They don't know her name nor where
she came from, but she was tried be-
fore Judge Sanders this morning un-
der the name of Leon Smith, and held
to answer for petty larceny. She will
BE- tried before Acting County Judge
Young day after tomorrow.
She had little to say this morning
in court until one of the witnesses was
placed on the stand, but she then be-
came quite communicative, so mssh so.
in fact, that the court had to threaten
her with Jail for contempt. She made
no defense.
The police are inclined to believe
that the girl is demented, as her ac-
tons are not those Of she skilled thief,
but rather Of the kleptomaniac.
A bundle Of letters was taken from
her by the police this morning, but
she had torn the addresses of them.
and the officers could not ascertain
what name she had been going by.

tain Changes for the Protection Of the
CITY Are Made.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, October 15 1902
To the Editor of the New Mexican:--
There being much discussion in the
matter of the franchise asked of the
city by the Capital City Power and
Light Company and in order that the
citizens of the Capital City may fully
understand my position in the matter,
l desire to say: l am in favor of the
granting of the franchise asked for,
provided proper protection of the city
and of the people Is given therein. I
consider it an absolute necessity that
the portion of the franchise for the
street railway should contain proviso
limiting fares, within the city limits, to
five cents maximum, and that the COM
pany be required to run at least two
passenger cars per hour or one every
thirty minutes.
AS to the franchise for lighting: A
maximum rate should be fixed no
higher than the one proposed by the
company's own representative, L. A.

ing satisfactory service as Il legislator
and promoting the interests of his con-

educational institutions; he has always
championed the early admission of New
Mexico as a state; he believes that all

The facts regarding the murder are
meager, but bitter feeling is known to
have existed between the two men for
some time over misunderstanding
growing out Of lease from Gooch to
Ross of Il part of the ranch. One report
is to the effect that the men became in
volved in controversy and Ross started
towards Gooch with pitchfork. Gooch
is then said to have fired five times, and
two of the shots took effect. Still an

CITIZENS MEET
AT COURT HOUSE
Discuss the Franchise Asked for By the
Capital Light & Power Company From
the Oity-Unanimous That the
Same be Granted.
MANY PROPERTY OWNERS PRESENT
MAJOR PALEN PRESIDED

Notwithstanding previous engage
ments of many of the citizens TO at
tend the entertainment of the Sisters of
Loretto and though but few hours
notice could be given of the citizens
meeting at the court house last evening
to discuss With Professor Halapleus,
engineer of the Capital City Light and
Power Company, the application of his
company for "a frdneaise from he city,
for the transaction Of an electTIc light
and power business and the building of
an electric railroad in Santa Fe, the at
tendance at the meeting was large and
enthusiastic, though many were late in
arriving, having first taken their fam
| lilies to the entertainment of the Sisters
The meeting organized by the election
of Major r. j. Palen, president of the
First National Bank as chairman, and
Hon. S. G. Cartwright as secretary. Mr..
Fiske explained briefly the numerous
benefits to accrue to Santa Fe from
such plant as the company proposed
to erect, called attention to the offer Of
the company to furnish electric light at
one-half the price now charged for it,
| and reviewed the steps taken to pro-
cure a franchise from the city and the
persistent efforts of a few members of
the council to delay and obstruct the
granting of same, though, the franchise
now asked for was not the franchise it
| had originally asked for, but a fran
chise which at the suggestion of MEM
bers of the city council, had been pre-
pared and approved and recommended
| for passage by joint committee COM
posed of three members Of the council,
| a committee of three of the Santa F'e
Board of Trade and three representa-
tives of the company The facts as re-
| lated by Mr.. Fiske some of which We're
known to other citizens present, created
considerable indignation, and a deter
mination on. the part of all present to
assist the new enterprise in every pos
sible way. From what was stated it
appeared that the few opponents in the
council of the new enterprise had not
only done all they could in this city to
harrass and annoy the new company,
but that one of them had expended SIS
in having inserted at advertising rates
in the home paper of its principal pro-
moters in Toledo, Ohio, where the mon
ey for it has been raised, a publication
for the purpose Of Encouraging parties
there from investing money in the erec-
ton Of the light and power plant here
After a full and encouraging statement
by Professor Halapleus of the purposes
of his company and it's determination
and ability to commence and push op-
erations on the new plant as soon as a
franchise for that purpose had been
granted and some forcibe and perth
nent remarks on the subject by Major
Palen and others the resolution pub
lished in another part Of this issue was
unanimously adopted.
