A. NJ. Nicholas, OF Rocky Ford.
a prominent attorney OF Otero
county. was arrested last Saturday
night IN that city charged with
making a criminal assault upon
the eleven-year old daughter OF ..
L. Adams, a istmer who resides
in Patterson Hollow. seven miles
west OF Rocky Ford. The offense
was committed in Nicholas Office.
the girl having been epticed there
by Nicholas. who was under the
influence OF liquor al the time.
The screams OF the g,rl aroused
the other occupants OF the build
ing, who rushed to her rescue.
Nicholas was brought down to
the. comfy seat on No. 3 last Sat
urday night by Marshal Baldwin
and turned over TO Sheriff Barr,
having d narrow escape from be
ing lynched by crowd ot men
headed Ivy the brother OF tue girl,
while taking the train. The fact
that very few had knowledge oi
the crime having been committed
was the only thing tha, saved him
at that time.
During Monday sft.rn Don Sher-
if Barr received notice from
Rocky Ford that lynching party
, was being organized in that city
and would be down some time
during the night for the purpose
of storming the Jail, securing
Nicholas and lynching him.
Sheriff Barr Immediately made
preparations to protect his pris-
oner, by swearing in twenty depn-
ties and placing them on guard at
the county Jail. All were armed
to the teeth and ready for any
emergency. The sheriff sent word
to the members of the mob to
bring the coroner along with them
as his services would probably be
needed II any attempt was made
to secure the prisoner
Late in the evening small! par
ties OF men began arriving on
horseback, and q carload OF about
fifty arrived on the 1910 train
from the west, the father and two
brothers of the girl being included
IN the number. All OF the saloons
were closed by order OF the mayor
al 9 O'Clock, and the streets were
nearly deserted at the time OF the
arrival OF the train. The crowd
from Rocky Ford was very quiet
and orderly and made no demon.
stration whatever. They evidently
expected assistance from citizens
OF la unta at the lynching, and
appeared to be greatly dissppoint-
ed when they found that no one
was anxious to go against the
arsenal at the county Jail.
About midnight Tom Subpona,
the leade. OF the Rocky Fordites,
and o. Z. Adams. the father OF
the girl. went up to the county
Jail and asked for an interview
with Sheriff BaGr They were sc
commodsted. They told Sheriff
Barr that they had decided to
make no attempt to raid the Jail,
and were informed by that official
that they had made very wise de-
cision as he was prepared to give
the mob 4 very warm reception.
No Demonstration whatever was
made during the night, and most
of the Rocky Ford people returned
home on No. S yesterday morning.
IL was a very fortunate termination
OF the mob incident for all con-
cerned. as it vas thought for al
tine that il would be impossible

THE END.
The above is a concise and in some
respects incomplete summary OF the
sessions work. 1t viii be seen that it
was Il negative session lacking in
aggressive action. The Legislature is
composed of men of more than aver
age ability, many of them young men,
with good ideas and impulses, but def
clent In experience and asscrtiveness.
Nothing radical has been done. The
members have seemed more concerned
about local measures than matters Of
general Importance. so that when they
meet their constituents at homo they
can assert that they have looked after
their cOunty's interest. Another SEES
sl0n'seXpcrience will doubtless develop
tho Assembly, especially the House,
INTO Il more aggressive and useful body.
Two commissions have t"en appoint
cd TO report next year. One Of these
IL to investigate the tax laws of the
State and recommend suitable rcvis-
IONS as to the assessment and taxation
OF property. The other commission ia
to investigate the character Of tho
work done on the State House and to
report whether or nOt tho contract has
been complied with.

NO BAIL FOR TILLMAN.

The action Of Chief Justice Pope in
refusing bail to j. II. Tillman, the
slayer Of N. G.. Gonzales, will meet
the approval Of all right thinking pco-
pie Of the State. 1t was the old Eng
lish common law, and is the law Of
the land to-day that if, upon the
application for bail in cases Of homi-
eide, the evidence offered raises q
strong presumption Of malice on the
part Of the prisoner, bail should be re-
fused. This refusal of bail is intend
ed to be without prejudice to the ac-
cuscd at the trial Of the cause to be
had later, and the decision of Chief
Justice Pope in refusing bail in this
case, plainly indicated by the careful
wording that he was guarding against
the escape of a word that would prove
prejudicial to Tillman, and the volun-
tary granting permission by the Chief
Justice to the prisoner to apply for
bail before any other Judge in the
State having jurisdiction, gave proof
Of q magnanimity and purity of intcn-
tion that should be appreciated by
Tillman's most ardent friends.
The effect Of the action Of Chief
Justice Pope in this matter upon the
people at large will be highly salu-
tary. However unpleasant it may
appear in print, it is none the less
true, that the people have been stead
lily losing confidence in the Courts in
the administration Of justice in cases
Of homicide. Confidence has not
alone been shaken by the failure of
jurics to return vcrdicts Of guilty, but
also by the ease and certainty with
which bail is obtained, new trials
granted and the failure Of Judges TO
to animadvcrt, when charging juries.
upon the Nervousness of taking the life
OF a human being. The failure of ;!ic
attorneys to obtain bail for Mr.. Till
man before Chief Justice Pope scnt n
wave of surprise all over tho State.
Why? The presumption Of malice in
this case vas not stronger perhaps
than in many other cases that have
happened throughout the State within
the last decade. The answer is that
so fixed in their minds had become
the saying, already t%ritc, that n man
with money and influential friends
need %notfcar tho law, that they expected
nothing else than to sec Tillman allow
ed bail, and when it was refused him
it surprised them.
We entertain no ill-feelings toward
Mr.. Tillman. We want to see him
have a fair trial before impartial
Jurors and judge, but We would fain
hope that With the firm stand for the
law taken by the Chief Justice in this
matter, we see the beginning of the
placing of a higher value upon human
life and upon law by our Judges,
whose example will be followed by our
Jurors and restore the confidence of
the people.

LABOR LEADERS APPROVE,
Say Union Was Practically Rec
ognized in Negotiations.

The award OF the Anthracite Strike Com
mission was looked on generally with favor By
prominent labor men in this city who were
seen Yesterday. Though the specific recognition
Of the union is not granted, they hold that the
union was practically recognized in all the ne
gotiations with the operators.
Henry White, general secretary of the United
Garment Workers, and member Of the Com
mittee of the National Civic Federation, which
brought about the conferences between both
sides before the coal strike. said yesterday:

J. P McInerney. general secretary Of the

clared:
I believe the award OF the commission IS not only
a victory for the miners. but also a victory for
organized labor. 1t shows that arbitration can
bring about settlement when a deadlock between
employers and employees over a labor dispute could
not be broken otherwise

of the miners.

the laborers of contract miners Is a safeguard
The section In which the commission takes
grounds against compulsory arbitration is also fa-
Vorable to the miners. The employment Of check
Uniphmen and the companies collections for their
nav and the distribution and regulation of cars
are also favorable to the miners.
The provision for the creation of conciiatton
hoard TO settle points of disagreement will gen
orally meet with the miners hearty approval
Though the commission does not require the
operators to recognize the miners orEa nzation in
the orga rizaton of this board of ConCiliation the
recognition Of the organization Is assured. The
commission also suggests the recognition Of the or
