by some tragic secret. he kept to him

Pete.
There were many traditions of him
the ride through the night to save the
neck of Miguel. when it became ques-
ton of his own life before the dawn;
the strike at Jose's, where he had
made the stand and driven the drink
maddened crew into the corral and
there held them until the fumes of bad
whisky and pulque had passed. Here
in came a part of the mystery. When
Jose had endeavOred to thank him,
Pete had floOred the whole crowd by
giving Jose talk on the folly of keep
ing barrels of whisky in easy reach of
such devils as the compound of Indian
and greaser that made up the per-
sonnel of Jose's ranch. And the most
startling feature was that in his eX-
element the vernacular of the border
slipped aside and he spoke in the cul-
tured tones that betrayed the college
bred son of the east He had never for
gotten his mask since.
Pete rose and turned toward the
south, his lean body at attention"

the masc of rnon cxta r11fno from tho

STILL one bOny hand pointing toward
the horizon. where a misty blue haze
was seething up. John, reused from
MS siesta, came sleepily lOunging
across the patio. One look, and he
yelled to the men: "Get to the plOws!
Every man to his pony. and God help
US to fight it,"
inside the corral the ponies were
@thered. AS one man the eyes of the
whole outfit turned toward them, the
purpose of flight written on their faces.

they cannot pay the same price for
eight hours work and pay expensee.
The owners are willing to pay these
wages for ten hours work, hundreds
of miners are willing to work for
it and how in the name ofcommon
sense is the laboring man benefited
any by the Legislature passing alaw
which forces these mines to close
down and throws them out employ
ment? We are a friend of the
laboring man but we do not stand
in with scheming politicians and
try to make q fool of him. And
once more we say, the miner, the
carpenter, the merchant or any
other laboring or business man
who only works to keep from starv-
ing to death and for the sole pur-
pose of drawing their wages with
as little work as possible, never did
and never will amount to much,
We like to see q man who is am
bituous to succeed and who is not
afraid to work todo it, and yet at
the same time we think a man is a
fool to work for nothing and who
will not take advantage of his op-
portunities to get along in the
world. AS to the underground
miner working eight hours, it is
certainly enough and double the
number of hours we would want tc

We are friends OF the laboring

days with us, we will not only con-
vince them that we arc working
men but that they are not.

FORGED A TELEGRAPHIC PASS
Another RaiIroader Gets Himself Into
Deep Trouble.

| j. N. Hickey alais c. b. Brown. the
telegraph operator arrested at Ration
last Saturday by Special officer Ben
Williams, of the Santa Fe, was given
hearing before Judge Crawford this
morning.
Hickey Is charged with having forg.
ed a telegraphic pass. signing he
| name of Superintendent Mentally. The
pass was used by Phil Cassidy. who
was bound over to the grand jury for
uttering the same.
When arrested Hickey was working
at Ration under the name of Brown. He
said that the reason he was working
under under an assumed name was be.
cause he had been black balled at Nee
die. and IL was necessary II assume
another name TO obtain work.
The evidence brought out by the
Santa Fe railroed, through their spec.
ial officer, Ben Williams, showed that
Hickey was In Albuquerque at the
time the FOL god pass was issued. He
he'd also been with Cassidy. who swore
that Hickey gave him the pass. Furth.
ermore Cassidy stated that he was I'M.
der the impression that the pass was
O. X.
The right operator of the Santa Fe
Offices testified that Hickey had called
at the Office and inquired the names
OF the different superintendent.
The defendant was represented by
Judge Heacc X. He argued from the
point that a man is not guilty OF for
gely untii the instrument Is valid. He
tried TO prove that the pass which
Hickey Is charged with having forged
is not a regular telegraphlc pass. and
that there were several flaws in II
which should have been readily detect
ed.
After this technical point had been
argued II some extent, the Judge post.
poned his decision until the attorney
for the defendant could produce evi.
dence sustaining his arguments. The
Judge held that sufficient evidence had
been brought forward to prove the de.
PENDANT guilty OF having issued the
pass. but that he would wait on the at.
torney for the defendant to prove the
pass not legal.

acquainted with the Hon. Emiliano l.
Gutierrez, whose memory we are com
memorating today. He was younp
man in the prime OF his life and for q
good many years he had devoted him
self to the task of educating the native
youth of this county, foreseeing that
the time was at hand when the native
Spanish-American youth would have
to take its place alongside of the other
citizens OF this great nation. This task
he performed with a willing heart in
the native villages of his county, and
when he was honored by being elected
a member during the two terms of the
legislature. the journals of each SEES.
sior show that the same idea was up
permost in his mind as a legislator. In
the death OF the Hon. Emlliano /.
Gutierrez, Bernalillo county lost one of
Its foremost men, and the territory of
New Mexico one of its most able. pro-
gressiye and honored citizens He was
one of the pillars which sustained the
good character Of the people of New
Mexico and his life and efforts should

OF that race which he loved most and
whom he wished to make worthy citi.

at on distant day would make this
great territory one of the leading
states of the union.
