People came out of doors yesterday
morning, into about the coolest atrnos-
phere that they have encountered for
the winter. There was that haze in
the air that indicates extreme cold.
and the frost crystals on the side
walks gave one the impression that
there had been light snow fall. The
story told by the thermometer gave
the temperature from % to 80, that at
hi1sman's being about %. 1t was not
extremely cold up TO midnight Mon
day, but those people who were abroad
from that hour until morning report
that the depression in temperature was
quite noticeable.

Cleophas Betit, who was arrested,
Monday night, for an assault upon his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Marguerite Forth.
Was brought before the municipal court
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Betit was in q
very forgetful frame of mind, and be-
ycnd remembering the fact that he
i&1 sent to Boston for and reseived
a gallon of liquor, and also absorbed
some of it, all subsequent G2:elop-
ments We're to him witAoat form
and void. The court. however, could
see no eNtenuating circumstances con-
nected with the case, and imposed up
on the prisoner fine of IS and costs.
The warrant for the arrest OF Betit,
Monday night, was the first that has
been issued by the municipal court for
II days.

between the front end of the sled and
the horses heels. He landed on his

his presence of mind which prompted
him to speak to the horse as he fell, he

Outlaw Horses Wanted.

The special rate which the Santa Fe
railroad has made on horses intended
for exhibition at the Territorial fair
to be held In Albuquerque October
18th to 18th. Will make II an easy and
comparatively inexpensive matter for
any man who owns an outlaw horse to
enter II In the contest for the $500
purse which Is offered by the %associa-
tion for particularly bad animals to
be used In the roughriding carnival.
The Santa Fc has done what has prob
ably never been done before by any
other railroad. II has made a M fare
rate for all horses intended for exit
bition. This includes COW ponies, bron-
cos and outlaws. All the shipper has
70 do Is 10 pay the fare OF the animal
or animals 10 Albuquerque. They will
be returned free Of charge. A half
rate for horses Is something unique,
This unusual offer Is going 70 bring
the most develish horses In the south
west 10 the fair, and there will be
some mighty good sport at the cow
boy tournament. At present the fair
promises TO be a magnificent success
In every way.
