GUARD PAPER AND PENKNIvEs.

Senate Employees Must Protect Law.
makers From Petty Thieves.
The senate chamber of the Minne-
sofa legislature is now under guard.
The working majority Of the upper
house is still united, and the guard will
not be used in enforcing legislation,
but despite the peace and harmony
the guard has been created by the
solons, and in now in charge of the
chamber.
The senate guard is commanded by
Gen. Tom Downs and was organized
yesterday morning. A resolution bring
ing about this new condition was in
troduced in the senate and unani-
mously adopted.
Senator Thorpe is the father Of the
resolution. The senator from KAN
diyohi returned to his desk yesterday
morning to take up the work Of the
new week, and anxious to note down
several ideas for new bills reached for
his writing pad. He missed the reach.
The pad was gone and several other
bits of stationery were with the pad.
Senator Thorpe discovered that other
senators had suffered and Immediately
drafted the call to arms.
In the whereas portions he pointed
out that sneak thieves were at work
IN the chamber, and another whereas
had the senate employees either unwill-
ing or unable to discover the thieves.
With this condition existing the re-
solve portion of the resolution author
lied and instructed the sergeant-at-
arms to hold the committee clerks,
Janitors, flremen and other employees
on guard duty each day until the doors
Of the chamber are closed. If possible,
it is said, the new guard will be made
a part of the national guard, which ac-
ton will prevent the senate employees
from even suggesting mutiny against
this additional work.

ARMoRY BILL IS PASSED.
House Does Its Share Toward Straight
enine ST. Paul Armory TangIe.

enln9 OF. FauI Afmofy ian9ie.
The house yesterday passed the
Hickey bill legalizing the ST. Paul arm
ory bond issue. The bond issue is $685.
600 and the original bid holds pending
a Strengthening of the bungled law,
passed two years ago.
The passage of the armory bill aside
from clearing up the st. Paul armory
situation and putting the national
guardsmen in good spirits demon
strates that Representative Hickey has
not lost any Of the speed he showed
two years ago as a new member. He
lost no time in pushing the armory bill
along and while not attempting to re-
sort to any short cut methods the bill
is passed by the house at the head Of
the list of important bills.
1t was urged against Mr.. Hickey as a
candidate two years ago that as
Democrat he could not hope to repre-
sent his district as efficiently as a Re-
publican might. At the close of the
session few members of the legislature
had records Of unbrolen successes like
Mr.. Hickey's and his committee assign
ments in this legislature are ample
proof of his recognized worth.

TRIED TO ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Wife OF Jallcr Bob Lewis Had SuS-
p!ciOns That Prove TO Be Well
Founded.

There was an incident at the
county Jail Monday. When the
dishes were returned after the
prisoners supper, Mrs. Lewis
noticed that a spoon was missing
and that fact aroused her sus-
picious. She Immediately re-
ported to her husband, who set
out on a tour of investigation
around the Jail just in time to
find the prisoners drawing in the
last brick between themselves and
liberty. Bob stood guard at the
hole in the wall while his wife
within pointed Winchester,
which she knows well how to
use, through a trausom of the
Jail and ordered the prisoners to
stand back. Her argument was
effective and Bob then went in
side and placed the prisoners in
the cells. The prisoners were
Pablo Garcia, Ed Raudell, and
Charles Dunn. The incident re-
suited from giving them the free
dom of the Jail because of the
hot weather, but, as this is their
second attempt to escape, Jailer
Lewis will not hereafter allow
his feelings of humanity to get
the better of his judgment.

SILVER CITY FLOODED.
Wall Of Water Seven Feet High Nearly
Wipes That Town From the Map.

A press despatch of Thursday
gives the following account of
the latest floods at Silver City:
Two of the most disastrous
floods in its history visited Silver
City Tuesday and Wednesday
afternoon. The rain fell in
sheets from o'clock to 4 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon and the town
was completely inundated. The
flood of Wednesday was even
worse. The loss is conservatively
estimated at 500, 600. A wall of
water seven feet high came down
the arroyo and rushed through
part of the residence section and
then through the business portion
of town, doing immense damage.
The flood carried away the
western portion of the new 30
foot dam which was built by the
city last spring at a cost of $15,-
00O. Many residences and
number of business houses are
ruined.
Today the town presents a
scene of desolation that is
indescribable. Dozens of families
lost all they possessed and will
suffer for necessities if outside
financial help is not forthcoming
at once. tits extremely fortunate
that the floods occurred in the
daytime, otherwise the loss of
life would have been heavy.

The Belen Cut.OR.

There has been much specula-
tion as TO the cause of the sus-
pension of work on the Belen
cutoff. Probably nobody but the
Santa Fe officials know just why
this was done, or whether the
work will ever be resumed. Chief
Engineer Jas. Dun says in an
interview published in the Albu-
querque Citizen that he was
ordered "to close work on the
Beleu cutoff" that the story of
the Rock-Islaud gaining control
of the Santa Fe is not true, and
that this work was suspended
probably TO avoid issuing bonds.
These statements may be taken
for what they are worth.

TEACHERS NORMAL INSTITUTE.
Work Will Begin Monday with Prospects
Of Good Attendance.

The Socorro county institute
will convene Monday morning at
the high-school building in this
city and continue two weeks.
There is prospect of large at
tendance and an interesting and
profitable time. Superintendent
Torres has corresponded with
several gentlemen prominent in
the educational circles of the
territory and hopes to have inter-
estiug lectures from them on
their special lines of work. The
general plan of work for the
institute will be the same as
that pursued year ago, for the
reason that Superintendent Ter
res believes that to be the most
profitable for large majority of
the teachers of the county.
Programmes of the work for each
day of the session will be distri-
buted the first day. The examin-
alton of applicants for teachers
certificates will begin Friday,
August %, as required by law.

The people of the district have
reasons to be sorry that Judge
Smith did not see fit to accept
the position rendered. One of
these reasons is that the gentle
man created a very favorable

other is that there is considerable

pistol in his hand while Gallegos, who was a one
legged man, started to go round the end of the
counter with a knife ready for use. McFadden shot
Lujan twice and he fell back upon the floor dead.

fries again vindicated his right
to the title of heavyweight
champion of the world. There
was large attendance, the gate
receipts amounting to not less

displayed his marvellous skill as a
boxer. For ten rounds be wal
loped the champion on temple,

two or three of the rounds Il
looked as though Corbett would
again be champion, but in the
tenth round Jeffries handed him
one on the stomach that ended
the fight.

Pope of Santa Fe are among
those said to be candidates for

abundance of good material
among these gentlemen and it is
much to be hoped that the vexed
question of the judgeship of this
district may be promptly settled
by the appointment of the best
one among them.
Certainly the home rule plank
of the Republican national plat
form should be observed in maxi
ing this appointment. Other
things being equal, the lawyer of
New Mexico has a knowledge of
prevailing conditions and of
court procedure that would
constitute an exceedingly vail
uable. qualification for the place.
