day acting Governor Reynolds sus-
pended the sentence of Judge Pope
in the cases of Lilies and Torres. 1t
will be remembered that last Mon
day Judge Pope ordered Il commit
ment issued against W. l. Lille. a sa
Don keeper for keeping open SUn-
day, whose Jail sentence was pre-
viously suspended but who upon per-
sonal investigation Judge Pope
found to be violating his promise
It appears that Lilies has the con-
sumption and is subject to hemOrrh-
ages and it was feared confinement
might endanger his life. SO Thurs
day the sentence was reduced to
three days, and at the same time a
commitment was issued against
Jose E. Torres. a member of the
Board OF immigration. and Lilies
partner and Torres were confined in
Jail Yesterday came a reprieve from
acting Governor Reynolds suspend
ing The sentence of the court during
good behaviour.
This has caused intense excite
mment among the best citizens here
who heartily approve the action of
the court and just as heartily con-
denim the action of the acting Gov
ernOr.
1t is understood that the court was
not consulted in any way about the
reprieve.

left Fort Worth yesterday afternoon
for Kansas City. was wrecked at
Godfrey, fifteen miles south of Fort

is one of the finest and fastest in
the service. 1t was made up of two
baggage, one mail. two chair cars,
smoker and sleeper When the train
reached Godfrey it was behind time
and running full speed to make up
time. The crew on a freight train
that preceded the Meteor had left
the switch open and the passenger
train jumped the track and rolled
down a slight embankment. All the
cars save the sleeper turned over,
and so fast was the train running
that the engine and forward bag
gage car landed nearly sixty feet off
the roadbed before they stopped.
The sleeper remained upright and
none of the passengers in this car
were injured. The baggage car was
completely wrecked and the smok-
er badly damaged. Five of the dead
were found in the forward end of
the smoker. Four of them were in
stantIy killed The news agent who
was badly injured. died on the re.

The Hondo meetings that were
in the court house Saturday after
noon at o'clock and Saturday eve
ming at 7:30 were largely attended.
Intense interest was shown in both
meetings by our citizens in the
ui.ding of the Hondo reservoir,
Hon. Jerry Simpson presided over
the meeting as president, and W. P.
Turner was secretary. A. P. Davis,
supervising engineer of Washington
addressed the meeting and explain
ed to the people as to what the gov
ernment expected them to do before
the reservoir would be built. First,
that all obstacles in the way Of prior
water rights must be removed. Sec
ond that the government instead of
dealing with individuals would deal
only With an organized association
of the water users. The next eXpla-
nation was that all would be limited
to water for only 100 acres of land.
Then the secretary w. P. Turner
read the articles of incorporation
and bylaws formulated by a COM
mittee appointed for the purpose.
These articles were copied from sim
liar articles adopted by the Salt
River, Arizona. Water Users Asso-
citation, where the government will
erect a large reservoir. These arti-
erment, and the Hondo articles be-
ing a copy of them as near as pos
sible, it follows that the government
will accept the articles of incorpora-
ton. Following the reading of these
articles the meeting was addressed
sents the. government. He explain
ed and answered questions. which
were asked by interested people in
the audience After Mr.. Savage fin
ished his address all those who were
interested were asked TO sign the
articles of incorporation, and it is
gratifying to know that all present
who were interested readily signed
these articles, clearing the way for
the government to- commence the
construction of the reservoir at
once.
The night meeting was simply a
continuation of the meeting in the
afternoon. The following board of di-
rectors were appointed:
Jerry Simpson, w. M. Atkinson,
John w. Poe. W. P. Turner. j. l..
Leonard, L. K McGaffey. H. J. Ha-
german, Samuel Atkinson. G. A.
Richardson.
John w. Poe was elected presi-
dent and Samuel Atkinson. secreta-
ry and treasurer.
The government has certainly act
ed wisely in sending to us two such
men as Mr. Davis and Mr.. Savage,
men whose long experience in the
west in the arid regions peculiarly
fit them for the task. These men
made it plain to all concerned that
the government is now ready to
confer this great blessing on the
people of this vicinity, if they will
only clear the way from any litiga-
ton.
The people of Roswell are under
obligation to these men for the hap
py termination of this matter which
now only awaits the sanction of the
Secretary of the Interior.

most enjoyable yet given by this organic
alton.
Five new members were given final
degrees and three admitted on DENTS,
making a total of eight received. Music
for the occasion was prepared by the
chorister, l., M. Norris, and was of high
order. Mr.. Norris is "a musician of much

pains in selecting and training of the
voices which compose quartette Of sing
ers tor the Grange meetings. Their rem
dering of the Grange music lends addition
al charm to the beautiful rites of the or
der and affords great satisfaction to the
members.
The dinner to which all were invited, and
did ample justice to the tempting viandS
spread before them, was served at 12.30
p. NJ. So large was the attendance that 1t
required laying of the tables three times
before the last of the people were served.

At T. M. the worthy lecturer. Mrs.

talent. 1t was done in burnt work, using
drawings emblematic of the P. of III. craft,
entwined with leaves and flowers all done
in a very neat and artistic manner. The

was done without the knowledge of the
members, and coming as it did made it a
pleasant surprise, also a valued birthday

Wayne Grange is in a very prosperous
condition, and its members are united by
the strong ties of fraternity in every sense
that the word implies. which bespeaks
much for its present condition and future
prosperity.

cupied. This is the first time in its
history that this has occurred, with
the exception of during the war rush of
1898. The season is now at the top
notch. and all are enjoying themselves
hugely. Messrs. Harvey and Wood
leave no stone unturned for the
amusement and comfort of their
guests. and this in great measure &C
counts for the immense season the
Tampa Bay has enjoyed.
