to make it a success, is far above the

President Roosevelps treatment
OF Gen. Miles on his retirement is
being severely criticized by the
press, irrespective of party. The
action does not measure up to the
size OF former Presidents OF the
United States. The Indianola,
Miss, affair is another evidence of
a small, spiteful makeup. In con.
versation with citizen from there
recently we learned that Indianola
is a prosperous town OF 1900. in
which the property is owned, the
business transacted, and the taxes
pad by white people. Those peo.
are still deprived OF their rights to
the United States postal service
because they object to negro post
master. Roosevelt says they must
take a negro or have no postoffice.
The Negroes salary is being paid
regularly, although the Office has
been abolished. Mckinley would
never have been SO narrow as to
use his power in any such man
ner, but Teddy is afraid he will
lose his title Of Trough RIDER If
he doesn't keep up something of
this kind.

GOAL MILK CURE.

AS there are a large number OF
goats in Eddy county, and as quite a
number Of consumptives come to Carls
bad every year, especially during the
winter months, seeking relief, the
claim of DIR. Robert Williams that
goats milk will cure consumption,
may be worthy of consideration by
the afflicted. The doctor is estab'
fishing an immense goat camp in the
Mogallon mountains in Arizona and
proposes to cure consumptives by the
wholesale. He claims that he himself
was cured of consumption by a diet
of goats milk, and he has experiment.
ed on hundreds Of Others with sim
liar results. The idea of the cure
came to him by reading Of the won
dsrful cures by goat lymph. He ar
guea that if the lymph would cure
locomotor ataxia, paralysis, chronic
articular rheumatism and similar dis
eases. there must be virtue in goat
milk for pulmonary affections.
If the doctor succeeds with his I'M
ique ana original remedy he viii be
numbered among the blessed.-Carls'

NEW MEXICO CLOSE TO
INTERNAL REGIONS.

Alex White. a well known miner, Is
home from the Steeple Rock district
Of New Mexico. where he worked in
the mines for a short time, says the
Clifton Copper Era. He reports a very
peculiar phenomenon in some of the
mines of that section. In the mine in
which he worked at a depth of $50
feet the heat is so intense as to pro
hibit development work. He drilled an
1S-inch hole, and a sort of gas and
steam came up which was scalding
hot, and work there had to be aband-
oned. In other mines in the camp at
a depth of 300 and 400 feet the heat
is not so great, but he says all OF the
mines have been getting hot lately.
He does not pretend to account for
this strange state 0 faffairs, but thinks
it probable that ~artesian water is be-
ing forced up through the earth In
that section. The old mines, with
deep workings, are full of water,
which is quite warm. whereas former
ly the water was cold. He says that
the mill of the old Steeple Rock COM
pany is being torn down and moved
IS Malone in the sou.n end Of ne
Burro mountains where it will soon
be set up and running on gold ore.

DORIAN CASE
Why the postofice Inspector
Shot M~endenhail oil
Ration.
LATER DENIES CHARGES. In TOTO

The Denver Republican gives the
following of the trouble al
Trinidad, which led to the shooting OF
q. r. Mundenhall by c. l.. Doran, the
postofice inspector Of this district:
Because e. E. Mendenhall is said
to have made improper advances to
his wife. C.. l.. Doran, postofice in
spector for the district comprising
southern Colorado and New Mexico,
shot and wounded him in the right
arm. The shooting occurred on the
first floor Of the Hotel Colorado, Trim
idad. Three shots were fired and that
they did not result fatally to Menden-
hall is only due to the bad aim OF Mr..
Doran or to the failure of one cart
ridge to explode. Mr.. Doran refuses
TO make any statement concerning
the affair.
Mendenhall is a cement sidewalk
contractor of Ration, n. NJ, and IS also
a representative of an eastern piano
manufacturing house, and comes TO
Trinidad frequently. He occupied
suite No. 116 at the hotel, which is
on the same floor and near the one
4 occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Doran.
re- Reports of M~endenhall's alleged adj
yances to his wife having come to
Mr.. Doran's ears upon his return TO
the city yesterday morning he imme
sdiately boarded the train for Ration.
returning with M~endenhall late last
night. ;
This morning at about $50 o'clock
MIR. Doran took Mendenhall to the Do
ran apartments and in the presence
of his wife made the charge. A
stormy scene ensued. lasting fully
half an hour, when Mendenhall made
for the door and ran down the hall.
Doran whipped out his revolver and
began firing. The first shot pene-
trated the right arm of the fleeing
man. Two more shots were fired. but
both went wide of their mark.
Mendenhall ran down the stairs into
the street and boarded the first train
for the south. He denies the charges.
He is married, having a wife and lit
tie daughter living in Ration. He is
about "a Years cid.
Mr.. Doran has been a government
postofice inspector for several years
Trinidad has been his headquarters
since last August, at which time his
wife came to this city. and they have
lived at the Hotel Colorado.
The shooting caused intense excite
ment and a large crowd soon packed
the corridors of the hotel. Mr.. Doran
surrendered to the authorities, but
was not taken into custody.
