Money.
VICTIMS WALKED TO THIS CITY.

David Zufelt, d goodlookfng old
gentleman of sixty-fve summers,
came into Albuquerque yesterday af-
ternoon from Belen, foot sore, tired
and hungry.
Zufelt, who lives in Santa Fe with
his wife, has been at work on the San
ia Fe cutoff near Belen at track work
for the Blanchard Brothers. He drew
on Sunday $35, all the money he had
in the world, and bought a ticket for
this city. A companion laborer also
drew $45 and bought ticket for this
city. Just after sundown between the
store and the depot, four natives held
them up and relieved them of every
cent and their tickets. Two of the ma.
tives covered them with revolvers and
the other two went through them
They were threatened with instant
death If they made a move, and. being
taken completely unawares, they were
unable to offer any resistance what
ever.
Zufelt, who is a poor hard-working
man, feels his loss keenly, and takes
it very hard. He had written to his
wife that he was coming home. II he
does not find some kind friend today
to loan him the necessary money to
take him to Santa Fe he will leave for
that place on foot.

NEW USE FOR THE AUTO
Rockford Officers Employ Machine in
Chasing Horse Thieves.

The increased use of the automO-
bile carries one advantage that has
not been extensively commented upon.
That is, it will in time do. away to Il
greater or less degree with the horse
stealing industry that has always
fiourished in this country. 1t is evil
dent that when the horse is entirely
supplanted that there will be none left
to steal.
But before that period has arrived
the auto may accomplish something
along this line if the example set by
a couple of officers this week is gen
orally followed. The pair in question
pursued a horsethief from Rockford
west through various towns to Gin
ton. Iowa. While at last accounts the
thief was still at large, it will be clear
to every enthusiastic chauffeur that
the pursuers had a great advantage.
and under ordinary circumstances
ought to have corralled their man.
Those who have an abiding faith in
the motor vehicles will also doubtless
agree that the Rockford officers have
pointed Il way that if industriously
followed, will largely do away with
the horse stealing nuisance.

why Cleveland Didn't Go.

President Cleveland was subjected
to much criticism because he did not
attend the funeral of Vice President
Hendricks. 1t was asserted by his
critics that the president was Jealous
of his colleague, and that he had been
Indifferent to Vice President Hen
bricks to the point almost of dis
courtesy. The facts as given by Les
lies Weekly. however, are these: Nei-
ther the United States senate nor the
house of representatives had yet or
ganized; there was no president pro
tenn Of the senate and no speaker of
the house: therefore, upon the death
of the vice president. only the life of
President Cleveland stood between
the country and a dangerous inter
regnum without any executive au-
thOrity in sight. 1t was feared that
some crank might seek notoriety by
assassinating the president at the
vice presidents funeral. President
Cleveland was advised to stay away
by some of the most eminent public
men of the time, and no doubt he act
ed wisely. disinterestedly and for the
public welfare. 1t may be added that
the situation thus presented so acute
" was the immediate cause of the
passage of the so-called act of presi-
Dental succession, which provides in
the death of the president and vice
president that the presidency shall
fall to the members of the cabinet,
thereby rIccluding any future posi-
bility of an interregnum. The pas

been seriously discussed at the time
