An Old Timer.

The Record Office received a call
this morning from J.. w. Thompson,
of Otero County, New Mexico. Mr..
Thompson is on his way home from
an extended eastern trip and will go
overland from Roswell to his home
in the mountains. Mr.. Thompson is
an old Confederate soldier, serving
throughout the late war in the army
of Northern Virginia, and having a
record as a brave anu fearless sol
dier. He enlisted in a company from
Sumpter, South Carolina and served
through some hard battles. After the
war was over, Mr.. Thompson came
west and for a number of years con
bined buffalo hunting in Texas with
serving as a scout in the government
service.
About nineteen years ago Mr..
Thompson came to New Mexico. He
was in the Pecos Valley when the
magnificent cottonwoods that now
line our streets were small saplings.
While in the City of Washington,
Mr.. Thompson appeared before the
Committee on Territories and made
a plea for statehood for New Mex
leo. t is said that his remarks excit-
ed favorable comment. MI. Thomp-
son is enthusiastic in his opinions
on New Mexico and believes we will
be admitted as astate at this session
of congress. He told the committee
of the large shipments of cattle,
sheep and apples thai go out from
Roswell every year Our artesian
wells were not passed without COM
ment and the magnificent opportun-
tiles for h-omeseekers were fully *
planned to the people he met in the
east.
Returning by way of South Caro-
lima and Oklahoma Territory, Mr..
Thompson says he was struck by
the signs of progress M prosperity
shown in these two sections. Cotton
in South Carolina and wheat in Ok
He believes that both these staple
products can be raised to great adj
vanatge in the Pecos Valley. Mr..
Thompson will leave Roswell for
his home tomorrow morning.

SEATTLE, Jan. 2l.--No testimony was
taken in the Clallam case today, No sur
vivors appeared. The hearing was contin-
ued until next week Thursday.
Engineer De Launay makes a sensation
al statement in the Star. He charges the
inspectors with trying to cinch him and
prevent him from telling the real story
of the wreck. He says the disaster was
caused by the Clallam being absolutely un-
manageable in gale The ruddef stock
was not half thick enough, the rigging and
tackle insufficient for even a moderate sea,
making it impossible to bring the helm
hard down.
He says that Captain Carter, the former
commander, said he would not take the
Clallam out in a gale for any considera-
ton. He further says he notified Captain
Roberts that the vessel was leaking in
plenty of time to reach shelter, had the
boat been manageable. She could not
be brought around
De Launay says the inspectors have
studiously avoided bringing out these
facts. He charges an attempt to white
wash the owners.
Two important witnesses in the Clallam
inquiry Yesterday were Captain g. Manter
of the tug Sea Lion and Frank G. Freer,
purser of the lost vessel Captain Manter
told of efforts of himself and crew to
rescue the people on the Clallam. Much
of his testimony in that connection was
the same as the accounts given in the
newspapers at the time Of the accident
Freer described in detail all that hap
pened from the time he began giving out
the hfe-preservers until the vessel sank.
Freer was one of the last to leave the
Clallam and when taken from the water
was almost unconscious.
An effort was made to show by testi-
mony of VIM Cox, first assistant engineer,
who was on vacation when the vessel
was lost, that there was carelessness IN
the engine room; Cox said that the brok;
en- headlight could easily have been shored
up from the inside if a proper effort had
been made to do So Cox also disagreed
with Chief Engineer De Launay as to
! the number Of suction openings in the

After a brief search the safe was found,
but there was no trace of the robbers.
That the men who committed the crime
were familiar with the custom of the ex-
press messenger and helper in leaving their
car and going into the baggage car during
the early morning hours cannot be doubt
ed, and suspicion naturally points to a
frequenter of one of the depots along the
line OF to an ex-employe as the leader.
The mystery surrounding the robbery
was made deeper by the failure of the ban
dts to blow the big safe, which is be
lieved to have contained between S20Ot0
and $4,000.
The superintendent of the Wells, Fargo
Express company declares that the safe
taken could not have contained any great
amount of valuables, and that it was used
principally by the messenger as a deposit
tory for way papers and small packages:
He refused to estimate the amount OF
the plunder.
The robbers were evidently pressed for
time after getting off the train and To-
eating the safe, as they failed to make
complete job of the looting When the
blown treasure box was picked ur it was
found that diamond worth probably 500
had been overlooked.
Pieces of torn express envelopes were
found strewn Unfortunately about the
spot, showing further evidence of extreme
haste in getting away with the booty.
The latest unofficial estimate places the
amount of the plunder at $4,000, but the
express and railroad officials unite in as
serting that the loss was comparatively
AS the express officials are the only
persons who know the full extent of the
robbery, its magnitude may never become
public.

me in April, 1903, going to Alaska,
thereby abandoning her.
Carlson in his answer, denies that he
ever abused his family and declares that
he has provided well for them all the
time. He does affirm that he went to
Alaska, but alleges that it was because
his wife, by her actions, forced him to do
so. He accuses his wife of infdelity and
in his affidavit alleges that she has been
holding very intimate relations with man
by the name of Hakanson
Carlson further alleges that he has con
doned his wife's action at all times mere
tofore, but has been led to believe that she
has brought about divorce proceedings in
order to get free from him so that she
might marry Hakanson. Witnesses in the
case attribute to the woman anything but
heavenly reputation.
Carlson agrees to giving her the legal
separation which she so much desires, but
contests the right of the wife to claim
the home for another man. He wants it.

robbers boarded it and battered down the
large doors to the first express car, in

door was locked at San Luis Oblspo,, after

The train then proceeded northward

work of breaking in the door, using long
iron rods and hatchets.
The noise was not heard by any OF the
