lent opportunity for entering the Fed

Saturday Deputy Ed House Of Da-

leaving town in an intoxicated condi-

the marshal where they secured them.
Mr.. House took them back and
found the goods at T. 8. Rogers drug
store and was labeled "Quinine Ton.
ic" and "Dandelion Bitters," and forty
pints of the decoction were found in

The men testified that that was the
stuff that made them drunk and Mr..

PACKER SWIFT DEAD.
Began Business on Small Scale, Died
Leaving Millions.

GNaNNl9 WllllOnos
Chicago, March 29.-Gustavus
Franklin Swift, president of the Swift
Packing company, died at his home.
4S4s Ellis avenue, early today of in
ternal hemorrhages, resulting from a
surgical operation performed March
%, for an infraction of the gall blad-
der.
Mr.. Swift was SO years old. His
death was entirely unexpected He
had given every indication Of recov-
cry and all danger was considered
passed. Mr.. Swift had been suffering
some time with bladder trouble, and
a week ago an operation was determ-
ined upon to give him relief. It was
not expected that the operation would
prove specially dangerous, and moth
ing happened to cause a change in this
hopefulness until this morning. His
Improvement was stopped suddenly
by hemorrhage, which the doctors
were unable to check, and which
caused his death in short time. No
arrangements for the funeral have
been made.

Velt on Dewey's Remarks.
Berlin, March 29-The Vossische
Zeitung, in commenting editorially to-
day on the reported remarks of Ad-
miral Dewey in which he compared
the American and German navies to
the disparagement of the latter. says
that it is evident that the American
navy is still suffering from the dis
eases peculiar to infancy and this re-
cent instance of the immodesty of the
commander of the American navy
merely demonstrates to the world the
excessive immaturity which pre-
walls in its ranks. The paper also re-
calls the Coghlan occurrence. and the
poem perpetrated by the then captain,
now Rear Admiral Coghlan, entitled
'Hoch der Kaiser" Admiral Dewey
is the worthy successor of Coghlan.
the newspaper says, but as President
Mckinley felt it his duty to express
his regret of the Coghlan incident. II
will become necessary for President
Roosevelt to give expressions to his
disapproval of the remarks made by
Admiral Dewey.

AN AFFECTING SCENE.
Grandmother Takes Children From
tepmother--Father in Jail.

GRANDMOTHER Takes Children From
Stepmother--Fathe in Jail.
Some time ago Arthur Kirkwood Of
Eastman lost his wife, leaving him two
little girls, Lille and Mamie, aged Z
and years, respectively.
After lapse of time Mr.. Kirkwood
married again. After the marriage
Mrs. Lydia Harrington, the grand
mother of the children, went to Judge
Townsend and made statement
which caused the Judge to issue an
order for the children TO be turned
over to the grandmother.
From the fact that the children's
father was put in Jail here yesterday
for contempt Of court, It seems that
he failed and refused to turn the
children over.
They were brought to Ardmore by
the stepmother and Mrs. Harrington,
the grandmother, was here to receive
them. The children kicked and
bucked when the old lady went to
lay hands on them, and said they
would not live with her, and clung to
the skirts Of their stepmother
The crying Of those children was
pitiful indeed, and we believe that II
Judge Towns-r1 could have been
present he woul. -S-- '',anged his
mind and told the marshal 10 turn Ar.
thur Kirkwood out Of jail and let him
carry his children home

nectea with any fire other than that
of O. w Strongs Sons furniture
store at which ne was caught red

conclusive evidence. But the fact that
no fires have occurred in the city since
Montoya's Incarceration is quite
strong circumstanual evidence and
there Is little doubt but that an in

found against him.
Very little has been learned OF him
previous TO his coming to this city
other than what he has told himself.

Has Commenced on Denver & Rio
Grande Between Antonito and Du-
range.
The Denver a. Rio Grande manage
ment has evidently taken up the work
OF broad gauging its lines through
southern Colorado and northern New
Mexico from Antonito TO Durango in
earnest. Advices from Denver state
that a contract has been let to the
Utah Construction company for about
$500 900 worth of worK between An
tonito and Cumbres, and the work has
begun. The construction company
has established camp at Big Horn
and put thirty teams, fifty men, two
construction engines and complete
outfit to work. The line between
these two points Is to be remodeled
and about fourteen small bridges will
be entirely done away with through
big fills. A steel bridge 100 feet high
ecross Cascade canyon will be tie on
ly bridge between Antonito and Cum
bres. where formerly there were fif-
teen. The places over which the
small bridges are now In nse viii be
filled up and large tubing will be used
TO conduct the water under the road
bed.
Antonito Is the junction point with
the Rio Grande line into Santa Fe, at
which point II connects with the San
tn Fe Central, the new road that has
opened 4 route for the Rio Grande to
HI Paso. Texas. and will connect the
Rio Grande with the Texas & Pacific
when completed at Big Springs. Tex
as. Without any official Information
to confirm II. the move looks like
preliminary step toward broad gaug-
ing the Santa Fe line and opeling the
new route for a through line from
Denver via Santa Fe and Roswell to q
connection with the Texas 4 Pacific
railroad al Big Springs in the Lone
star state.
