DR.. Holmes said the lamp of mans
life has three wicks-brain, blood and
breath-and to turn down any one of
them makes the other two go out. The
wounds n man will survive and even
disregard so long as his head, heart
and lungs are unhurt have long been
one of the wonders of war history.

The Hondo Water Users Associa

ior who arrived at Roswell this week
He will arrange the details in regard

will furnish irrigation water for 10000
acres of land between Roswell and
the reservoir site.
Each individual or family will be al
lowed water rights for only 100 acres
and that means the doubling of the
farming population near Roswell. The
Roswell Daily Record says;
'"The establishing of the reservoir is
more important at the present time
than dozen new railroads 1t will
mean there will be something here
for new railroads to come in for, and
in events of this kind railroads do not
need any coaxing."

RIOT IN
CHICAGO
Chicago City Railway Car Wreck.
ed by a Mob Of Union
Sympathizers.
OUTCOME OF STRIKE
Non.U Conductor and Motorman
Were FuriousIy Attacked and
Badly Injured.

Chicago, Dec. 10-In a riot today
growing out of the recent strike on
the Chicago City Railway, a car was
wrecked by mob of union sympa-
thizers who furiously attacked the
non-union conductor and motorman,
badly injuring both.
The crew of the car escaped into a
near by building, where they were
guarded by the police. The riot oc.
Cured on the Halsted Street line.
The riot was participated in by hun
dreds of men and boys. Forced to flee
from the car, the non-union men were
knocked off their feet and severely
pummeled. Struggling up again the
victims fled in different directions pur-
sued by the mob. Failing to recapture
the fugitives the mob returned to the
car and partially wrecked it. A pa
troll wagon load of policemen rescued
the two non-uniOnists.
The traffic of the line was suspend
ed for nearly an hour and hundreds OF
were delayed. The trouble
started when several passengers,
among them some women, refused to
pay their fares to the conductor who
wore no union button. The conduc-
tor announced that the car would stop
unless the fares were paid. He was
seized by the passengers who also or
dered the motorman to start the car
At the sight Of a revolver in the
hands of one of the men the motor
man obeyed, but when the opportuni-
ty offered he leaped from the platform
pursued by the passengers. The con-
ductor was then attacked. Both men
employed are strike breakers.

LAS VEGAS NOTES.
Fighting Contagious Diseases-Peeu-
liar verdict in an Adultery
Case.

The board of trustees of the town
of Las Vegas has passed an ordinance
compelling physicians under penalty
to report to the board all cases of con-
tagious disease and forbidding people
to go to houses where contagious dis
ease exists
In the case of the United States vs..
Ponciano Barela, ct al, for transgres-
sion of the Edmunds law, the jury dis
agreed although it found the woman
in the case Valentino Martinez, gull
ty. The fact that the testimony of the
wife could not be used against Barela
under the United States statutes &C
counts for this particular verdict A
motion for a new trial was filed.
Yesterday morning at the Church of
Our Lady of Sorrows, Miss Margarita
Padilla and Albert Serrano were mar
ried by Rev. Paul Gilberton. On Mon
day morning, in the same church, Miss
Liria Sifre and Tomas Montana were
married by Father Gilberton.

OF
MARTIAL LAW
To Be Tested BY the Attorneys
for the Western Federation
of Miners.
HABEAS CORPUS CASE|
That Of Victor Poole, a Union Miner to
Come Up tomorrow. ..Conditions ~

Cripple Creek, Dec. 10-A writ OF
habeas corpus issued by Judge Seeds
of the District Court, in the case OF
Victor Poole, union miner held in
the guard house of Camp Goldfield
will come up for hearing tomorrow.
The information that Governor Pea.
body had issued a proclamation sus
pending the writ in this case and abro-
eating the jurisdiction of the District
Court has created much speculation
as to the outcome tomorrow.
The attorneys for Poole and the
Western Federation of Miners say the
case will be taken to a higher court
and probably the federal court. 1t
will be test of the status of martial
law here.

for water, and while digging struck
no bed rock, nothing but quicksand
This is an indication that it is not a
placer find, but simply conglomerate
cement, red and white, full of pebbles,
while the gold found lies almost to the
top of the ground, at depth of from
four to twelve inches.
There are about 900 people at the
camp, which was named Camp Pitts
burg. but the majority of them are liv-
ing and sleeping out of doors, as
there are only 10 or IL tents there.
There are also couple of liquor ven
doris, who have their liquor in barrels,
and dip it out in tin dippers to pur-
chasers.
"The Silva, Trujillo and Stapleton
families who own the best claims are
very courteous to new comers, and
the reports of trouble at the camp to
which the Denver papers have devot-
ed space are utterly devoid of truth.
II am of the opinion that in another
month all Of those who rushed to the
scene Of the alleged finds, will quietly
return to their homes, and leave the
district in the control of the three
families named, who own sufficient
number of claims to remain on the
ground and work them for what they
are worth. A friend of mine was will
ing to invest several thousand dollars
in developing claim if the reported
finds were authenticated, but num-
Der of the old placer miners have ad-
vised him to keep his money and give
the place wide berth"

The gold finds reported from the
Caballo Mountains in Sierra County
are no bonanza, and the mining camp
in the Apache Canon will prove to be
most expensive one.
This is the consensus of opinion of
number of mining experts and placer
miners, who have visited the much
heralded alleged Klondyke Of New
Mexico. Today the prospectors and
those who hastened to the mountains
expecting to pick up gold nuggets, are
leaving as fast as they came, and
few are going in.
Professor Fayette A. Jones of the
United States Geological Survey. at
Albuquerque, has been on the ground
for some days past, and although the
gold found is of a high standard, there
are no indications that it is there in
any great quantities. No washing has
been done, the nuggets already found
at depth of from four to twelve
inches being simply busted off.
"The find was made 35 miles north
of Rincon, in Sierra County," saio an
expert placer miner today. Those
who flocked to the alleged Klondyke
of New Mexico have done some pros
pecting, but no development work.
The majority have simply located and
watched claims The camp at best
would be an expensive one, as there
is not stick of timber in the dis
trict, and no water closer than the
Rio Grande, which is three miles dis
tant.
Those at the find have dug 20 feet

rules Former Decision in Certain
Land Entries.

An important decision was announc
ed by the secretary of the interior this
week the effects of which will be tC
nullify the attempts of cattle com
panies and others to obtain public
lands in violation of the law. He ov-
erruled the former decisions of the
department, that widows or minor or
phans of soldiers or sailors do not
have to reside on the land on which
they make homestead entry. The de-
cision, which affects large number
of cases and which has an important
bearing on the public land frauds, is
made in the case of Mrs. Anna Bowes,
who made an entry on land in the
Broken Bow district in Nebraska
Mrs. Bowes claimed the right of en-
try as the widow of sailor in the
civil war, under section of the re-
vised statutes, which allows such de-
pendents to make homestead entries
with credit for the time of the soldiers
or sailors military or naval service.
1t was admitted this case was made
under an agreement with the Stand
ard Cattle Company, whereby Mrs.
Bowes at the time of the entry leased
the land to the company with a fur
ther agreement that the company
should have the option of purchase of
the land. The department decides
that Mrs. Bowes is required to main.
tain residence on the land and that
her agreement with the company in
the entry and requires its
cancellation.

CAN SMO0T
TAKE OATH
Senate Committee on Elections
to Act on Protests and
Petitions.
HE MAY BE UNSEATED
At Least the Belief is Pretty General
Among Senators..-News at
National Capital.

Washington, Dec. 10-Chairman
Burrows of the Senate committee on
privileges and elections, has called a
meeting for Saturday to consider
whether any action shall be taken on
the protests and petitions for the ex-
pulsion of Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah.
There is an immense mass OF petit
tions coming from 40 different states,
and Congressional callers at the
White House are manifesting an in
creased interest in the case. That a
thorough investigation will be made
by the committee now appears to be
beyond doubt. An effort will be made
to ascertain accurately the attitude of
the Mormon Church toward the gov
eminent of the United States and to
learn whether or not members of that
organization are bound by any pledge
or oath, the taking of which is incom-
patible with his oath as Senator of
the United States.
If this should be established, the be-
lief among the Senators is pretty gen.
eral that Smoot will be unseated
Many of those opposing Smoot believe
that any effort made to prove that he
is polygamist would result in fail
ure.
