FOLDED MS BLANKET AND
SILENTLY STOLE away


President F. H. Pierce Of the Board
of Pennentiary Commissioners, is an
excellent official and also very sue
cessful superintendent Of the Meadow
CITY Water Works. At the same time
he is finding it rather hard to watch
the 20 convicts under his direction at
work on the construction Of the ''Scen-
ic Route" road at the Las Vegas end.
A dispatch received by the pentten-
tiary authorities this morning states
that early this morning between the
break Of day and sunrise, Charles
Robinson, one Of the convicts detailed
for work in the camp located about
two miles above the Hot Springs In the
Gallinas Canon, silently folded his
blanket and still more silently stole
away, leaving but his memory and his
description upon the territorial peni-
tentiary books to remember him by.
He did not even say 'adios" to the
guards nor did he communicate with
President Pierce. Like the silent
Apache. he disappeared and no one
knows whittier he has gone. The IN
vIgorating and free mountain air was
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1903-06-18

too much for him and he concluded to
go higher up in the mountains to In
hale more of it and that without la
boring for. the people of the territory.
Robinson was convicted six months
ago in the territorial district court for
Bernalillo county Of uttering for
eery. He was sentenced to IS months
imprisonment, Of which he had served
six months. During his confinement,
he behaved himself in very orderly
and quiet manner, and 1t was consid-
cred by the penitentiary authorities
that it would be safe to send him to
work in the mountains. But In this
case as we'll as in many other instance
es In life, appearances were deceptive,
and Robinson hied himself to parts, so
far, unknown. A full description of
the escaped convict has been sent to
the peace officers throughout this ter
ritory, as we'll as Colorado and other
points. 1t is believed that unless he
will take up his future quarters at the
Waldorf astoria In New York City. he
will be caught before many days have
gone by. The usual reward will be
paid to his captors whenever he is de-
livered to the penitentiary authorities.
Peace officers are keeping q sharp
lookout for him throughout the terri
tory.

CANDELARiO MARTINEZ SAID no."
Attempted to Stop Work on the "Scenic Route
Road-Penitentiary Authorities Knew Him
Not-construction Proceeding Regardless
Of Montezdma or Any Other Dead King.

Assistant Superintendent w. e.
Martin of the Territorial Penitentiary,
established the camp for the convicts
working on the construction of the
Scenic Route road in the Santa Fe
canon, on yesterday. Four guards
under command of Frank Romero are
in charge of the "a convicts placed
i there and active work has commenced
under the supervision of Civil Engi-
neer ]. A. Gwin. This will be prose-
cuted according to the specifications
and survey made under the direction
of the county commissioners of this
county by Colonel Coleman and ap-
proved by Superintendent H. o. Bur-
sum of the territorial penitentiary.
Candelario Martinez, a resident of pre-
cinct No. 3, appeared upon the scene
yesterday afternoon accompanied by
ten men and attempted to put a stop
to the work then progressing. He
claimed that an ancient and venerable
ditch right granted by King Monte
yuma or some other potentate in the
dim ages of the past and somewhere
in the year 1900, was in force and that
therefore the construction of the ROAD
had to cease. However it was not
claimed that the ditch had been used
of late years, but nevertheless. he
insisted that work should Immediate
ly stop. AS the penitentiary guards
are not in the habit of taking orders
except from their superior officials,
they very quietly but nevertheless
earnestly, disregarded the commands
of Candelario Martinez, and the work
is so far progressing satisfactorily re-
gardless of the edicts, laws and de-
crees, as well as the rights granted by
the King of the Aztecs, viceroy OF
Spain or any other dead sovereign.
representative of the New Mexican In
terviewed Assistant Superintendent W.
E. Martin upon the question. Mr.
Martin said he was not learned in the
laws of ancient Mexico and that ne
knew very little about the laws as to
irrigation rights in force among the
Toltecs and Aztecs, but that any pro-
cess of law issued by the proper trip-
unal in the case would be at once
completely respected and obeyed by
him. Until such occurred, however,
he deemed it his duty under his In
structions and thelaw establishing the
"scenic Route" road, to proceed with
the work and the detachment OF con-
victs would continue thereat until
such process of law was duly served
upon him.

DENVER AND RIO GRAADE OFFICIALS.
On Visit to the capltaI-Say, "No Signlfi.
canoe In This, But -"-ln Consultation
With General Manager Hopewell and Chief
Engineer Kennedy Of the Santa .Fe Central.

The belated Santa Fe train that ar
rived at noon today from the east
brought special car aboard of which
were ]. A. Edison, manager; w.
Coughlin, general superintendent; and
E. J. Yard, chief engineer Of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railroad system.
Mr.. Edison was seen at the car by
representative Of the New Mexican
this afternoon. He stated that the
visit to Santa Fe had no special signi-
ficance and that he had nothing to
say that would be of interest to the
public. When questioned regarding the
rumor that was recently circulated to
the effect that the Denver & Rio
Grande track between this city and
Antonito, Colo, was to be made broad
gauge in the near future, he stated
that no such action had been decided
upon. OF the report that an unmixed
passenger train was to run between
this city and Antonito and make
trip on Sunday, Mr.. Edison said moth
ing of the kind was to be done at
near date. While in the course of
events the narrow gauge division be-
tween Santa Fe and Antonito will un-
doubtedly be made broad gauge and
better passenger service will be put on
between Santa Fe and the Queen City
of the Plains when the business calls
for it it will not be done in the near
future.
General Manager w. s. Hopewell OF
the Santa Fe Central, and A. G. Ken
nedy, chief engineer of the same road,
called on the Denver & Rio Grande
officials at the car shortly after their
arrival in this city and spent the at
ternoon with them. Messrs, Edison,
and Yard leave in their spe-
cial on the next Santa Fe train for,
the north on their return to Denver.
H. F. Park, superintendent of car ser
vice of the Denver &. Rio Grande, star
ted to- make the trip to Santa Fe, but
urgent business caused him to turn
back before reaching this city.
It ia rumored In semi. official circles
that the visit of the party to Santa re
and the conference this afternoon be-
tween the Santa Fe Central officials and
the Denver and Rio Grande officials Is
for the purpose Of discussing plans for
the proposed union depot to be erected
In this city. f'N ;f'
