New Year Christening.

At the cosy home of MT. and Mrs. H. Pyle, on Williams avenue, New Years Day, there gathered a large number of invited guests, the occasion being the day of chris tening of their young sons, Thomas Wickersham and Robert Lloyd.
 The house was tastefully decor ated, and, the curtains being low cred, innumerable candles cast a soft light which gave a pleasing effect.
 In the presence of the assembled guests, Rev. John Oliver performed the baptismal ceremony of the M. k. church in a manner that greatly impressed all.
 A delicate lunch-baby food was served, each guest being sup piled with a paper bib, tin plate, cup and spoon, which was signifi- cant as well as original.
 Mrs. Pyle was ably assisted by Mesdames Wharton, Barney, Bai- ley, Young, Mcdonald, Tyroler and Misses Lindsay, Adams and Bay les.
 The little fellows were the center of an admiring crowd and by their manly bearing showed their inher- ited talent as hosts.
 Numerous lovely presents were made them, and, on leaving, Mrs. Wharton, in their behalf, presented each guest with badge on which was inscribed "1903-The Boys Wish You a Happy New Year"

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Constable Andrews Arrests Nan Wanted
 for Murder in New Mexico.

An important arrest was made on Thursday of last week by Con- stable Thos Andrews, of a man wanted at Magdalena, New Mexico, for a murder committed on the 20th of last October.
 It seems that on that date the accused, George English, and the murdered man, Bob McMains, were employed at camp, the first in the capacity of cowboy and the lat ter as cook Some days previous the men had had trouble, English having been badly worsted in a fight and this ranked in his breast It is stated that he in some manner got hold of McMains' gun and took out the main spring. Later on, English took occasion to stir up more trouble and in the gun play that followed had McMains at his mercy, killing him on the spot. After the murder English fled the anu was AaSN nCCh AO- cated.
 A cousin of the murdered man, named Phillips, came here recently and gave Constable Andrews all the information in his possession, which finally resulted in his plac- ing English under arrest.
 Word of his capture was wired to Sheriff Blackington, of Socorro county, who arrived here Monday and, identifying his man, returned with him to New Mexico the same evening
 Constable Andrews deserves con sidera ble praise for his part in the affair. as it shows that he is alive to the interests of the law abiding citizens.

MUSICALE A SUCCESS.
Rendition by Local Talent That Vied
 With Professionalism.

lnaI MUSIC natn power was never more fully demonstrated than at the opera house Thursday evening. The audience was large and appreciative and catching the enthusiasm of the different artists, showed theirs in befitting manner by numerous encores and showers of beautiful floral tributes.
 To those who had never thought Williams possessed SO much artistic ability it was a most agreeable sur prise; to others it was a source of qualification that once again they were given the privilege of enjoy ing these rare treats.
 The stage was a veritable bower of beauty, showing plainly the great amount of labor expended in its decoration. In keeping with its beauty was that of the different members of the company. The ladies were all becomingly attired in elegant costumes while the gen. tlemen presented like appearance.
 The opening number on the pro- gram, a piano duet, "Poet and Peasant" by Miss Lindsay and Mrs. Simms was artistically per formed, showing the touch of thorough musicians. This was fol- lowed by boat song, by Mesdames Wharton, Mcdonald and Simms. Their voices blended harmoniously, plainly denoting the strength and range of the professional.
 Miss Mable Adams pleased her many friends by her rendition of a piano solo that brought out her best efforts and gave opportunity for a perfect display of her thorough mu- sical training.
 A ladies' quartette, composed of Mesdames Wharton and Simms and Misses Lindsay and Adams was followed by Miss Irene Johns ton in a piano solo, "Tam O'Shan- ter" and later in a similar effort 'Tarantella" by Miss Maud liar rell. These two young ladies showed remarkable ability and re- fiected great credit upon themselves as well as their instructor in their interpretations
 Miss Marie Polson's effort at the piano, Pixies Frolic," for a new beginner in the mysteries of the pianist's art, was artisticaly rem dered.
 Space prohibits lengthy mention of each number on the program in it's respective order, but the entire list was well executed and received. Mrs. Tyroler's display of musical talent in her rendition of the piano solo, "Moon Moths," and Henry F. reading upon the life of

WILLIAMS BOYS KILLED.
Engineer Charles Hayward and Fireman
 AL ArkilIs Meet Death


 Neglect by an engine crew to re- place a switch after taking a siding caused a serious wreck on the Santa Fe at Siam, a small station between Denby and Needles, early Monday morning. Overland train No. 7 crashed into engine No. 464, which had taken a sidetrack to allow the overland to pass. Engineer Chas- Hayward who was in charge of No. 464, was killed His fireman, A. L. Arkills, was probably fatally in jured, and Fireman NJ. L. Shackle- ford of the overland had an arm badly mangled besides numerous bruises about the body. Both en- zines were badly wrecked and the express and baggage cars of the overland were more or less dam aged
 According to the information re- ceived, No. 464 got orders at Needles to take the sidetrack near Siam so as to let No. pass. The overland was due at the switch at 3:45 o'clock. It was between one and two when Engineer Hayward got his orders, and allowing him a reasonable length of time to reach the switch after leaving Needles, he must have been sidetracked fully an hour and a half before the over land came up. The overland was westbOund and the light engine entered the siding at the west end. It then proceeded about two-thirds . of the way over the siding where it stopped to wait for the overland.
 Why Engineer Hayward and Fireman Arkills failed to close the Fwitch the railroad officials are at loss to understand The overland passes Siam at the rate of about thirty five miles an hour. The light of the open switch was proba ply such a shock to Engineer Gray hat for a moment he did not know what to do. Recovering himself he applied the brakes and jumped. Fireman Shackleford followed suit. The overland's big engine crashed nto the light engine with terrific orce.
 Engineer Hayward and Fireman krkills, unconscious of the danger were in the cab when the collision occurred Hayward's body was erribly mangled and death was probably instant. Fireman Arkills lad his arm and leg crushed and Fill probably die. Fireman Shack
 lford was cut about the body and bne arm was bruised. Some of the passengers aboard the overland Eere badly shaken, but none was niured.-Los Angeles Herald.

attorneys. In ar interview he said:

morning. I have not as yet secured.
an attorney to fight my case, but will
probably maze some arrangements
soon. I do not believe the reports to
the effect that the county commission
ers have engaged Frank M. Nye, of
Minneapolis, to assist in the prosecu-
tion of the case against me at the sec
ond trial.
ST believe that I will have a better
show this time, and expect a verdict
of acquittal. The strain of my last
trial vas terrific and I will be glad
when I am through with the second
trial. I do not know yet where my
second trial will be held, nor who the
