CERTAIN TO PROSPER.

nearly so miles of railway in the county,
the Dawson road miles and the Choc-

conservative estimate, there are 100000
sheep in the county and 125,000 head OF
cattle. The mercantile establishments
at Tucumcari haxe expanded wonder
fully and occupy extensive quarters.
The amount of business they do is as
tonishing. Tucumcarl has nine saloons
and each one does well, each running
three to five games which unfortunate

INSPECTION MAY
Be POSTPONED
Adiutant General Whitemau This
Morning Received Word That
Necessary Blanks Have Not
Been Received.
MINIMUM STRENGTH OF
COMPANIES NOT FIXED

Brigader General w. H. Whiteman,
adjutant general of New Mexico. this
morning stated that Captain Kirby
Walker of the 14th United States Cav
airy, stationed at Fort Wingate, has
| been detailed to inspect all of the or
| gan cations of the National Guard in
| the Territory of New Mexico. These in
spections should begin at Santa
Fe on April 20, but from a
letter received this morning from
headquarters of the Department
of the Colorado, General White
man thinks that the inspections will be
postponed for few days because Of
the non-arrival of inspection blanks
General Whiteman was asked how
many companies of the New Mexico
National Guard have the strength re-
to remain in the service and to receive
new arms and uniforms to the furnish
ed by the national government. He re-
piled that congress did not fix the min
llllulu lluHlUef W Ne dllOWeu COIIpstllitS
of the National Guard when this law
was passed, but left the naming of the
number with President Roosevelt:
president Roosevelt" ne said "has
not yet fixed the number and will not
be likely to do so until his return to
Washington from the present western
trip. The war college or board, Of
which General Young is the president,
has recommended to the president that
the minimum strength OF all companies
and troops be 65, but this recommended
ton has met with such a storm of dis
approval from the National Guard all
over the country that it is entirely pro-
bable the president will designate a
lesser number
New Mexico has six companies of In
fantry and one troop of cavalry of the
National Guard as follows: Co. A, John
H. May, captain, Las Cruces; Co. D, L.
J. Newell, captain, Silver City; Co. H,
T. J. Matthews, captain, Socorro; Co. G,
Michael O'Donnel captain, Albuquer-

tain, Las Vegas, First Regiment of In

Three Murderers Paid the

ONE MAN WAS 68 YEARS OLD

islaturs and a Probate
Judge.
ONE MAN WAS 68 YEARS OLD

yard here today About 1,5OO persons
played reina rkabe nerve and said he
had only one enemy he could not for
give, but would not mention his name.
In March, 1901, d. B. Donegan, a gold
miner from Gunnison County, Colo,
came here to provide himself with an
outfit to drive overland to Oklahoma,
where he intended to buy ranch. He
met DR.. James L. Gartrell and the lat
ters son, William. An arrangement
was made that the three should drive
to Oklahoma together When about 100
miles from Kansas City, the party
stopped to spend the night in deser-
ted cabin. When the younger Gartrell
awoke he saw his father had killed
Donegan by splitting his head with an
AK. The young man said to his father:
what did you kill him for, father?"
Because, son, we needed money" an
swered the old man. They carried
Donegan's body to nearby creek and
dropped it in. 1t was found about two
weeks later. Suspicion was directed to-
wards the Gartrells and when, upon
investigation, it was learned that DR..
Gartrell had sold a team of horses in
the neighborhood where the crime was
committed, the father and son were ar
rested. DR.. Gartrell later confessed
that he killed Donegan, entirely exon
Grating his son, but insisted that he did
it in self defense. DR.. Gartrell was the
Oldest man upon whom the death sen-
tence has ever been pronounced in Mis-
souri,, being 6S years old He was six
feet tall very erect despite his age and
wore a long flowing white beard. At one
time he was a member of the legisla-
ture of Texas, and it is said that he
once refused nomination for congress
in the 18th district of Texas. He was
once probate judge of Rufugio county,
Texas.
TRIED THREE TIMES.
ST. Joseph, Mo-, April 17.-Charles
May, who shot and killed Robert Mar
dance, was hanged in the Jail yard here
today. His neck was broken. May had Z
three trials. He embraced the Catholh ,
religion week ago and was accompan-
led to the scaffold by the priest who
had previously baptized him.
JOHN TAYLOR HANGED.
Kansas City, Mo-. April 17.-John, or
"Bud" Taylor, was hanged at the coun-
ty Jail here today for the murder, on
March 2, 1901, of Ruth Nollard, his for
mer sweetheart. Taylor was baptized
into the Catholic church last night. He
talked calmly of his approaching end,
slept we'll and walked to the scarold
bravely. Taylor expressed sorrow for
his crime, but added: II loved her and
I wasn't willing to live without her."
Taylor's crime was prompted by jeal-
ousy because Miss Nollard had Tilted
him.

1t is always pleasant to hear of the

unfortunate that should receive such

might be used to give q political as

DELAYED ~: BAD WEATHER.
Connecting the Honolulu End Of tn
Pacific Cable,


Honolulu. Jan. 3.-The laying of the
first section of the Pacific cable which
will connect the United States with it's
insular possessions was completed at
$40 Thursday night, when the two
ends were brought together in Molokai
channel near the point of landing at
the beautiful private park of Sans
Souci beach, five miles. east of the city
OF Honolulu.
With the shore end landed some
days ago there still remained a span
OF almost two score of miles to be
closed between the buoyed deep sea
end in Molokai channel and the heavy
beach line half mile out from shore.
The closing of this gap proved a task
that taxed the patience as we'll as the
ingenuity Of the Silvertown's staff.
Five days elapsed the most of which
was spent in awaiting the favor of the
wind and sea, before their labors were
completed and the first signal flashed
along the entire length of 1000 and
more miles.
