present him with from one to three or
four diamonds. And it must be remem-
bered that the Kaffirs who worked IN
the mines became expert judges of dia-
nonds and chose the best for them
selves whenever they got "a chance.
Now, If Magato had chosen to board all
the diamonds that were given him by
his subjects through a long course of
years they might well amount TO
bucketful and be worth millions.
secure Diamonds by Stealth.
That Kaffir chieftains do get hold of
large quantities of diamonds is shown
by the historic fact that when Seka-
kuni. whose subjects labored on the
diamond fields was about to go to war
on one occasion he offered a white man
a cupful of diamonds for gun.
Swartz, who had been a Boer police
constable and had a. large acquaint-
ance among the natives, is said to
have got on the track of a portion of
the hidden treasure through one of
Magato's men. He told those whom
he persuaded to join him that what
he was after was worth millions"
At the trial of Swartz the question
of the hidden treasure, of course, was
secondary in Importance. There was
no witness to the murder of Van Mex
ERIK. Swartz was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence and did not himself
testify. He and Van Niekerk left the
main party, ostensibly to do some
hunting to replenish the larder. Sub
sequently, a shot was heard and Van
Niekerk was never again seen alive
nor did Swartz again rejoin the search
party.
Just what led to the murder remains
one of the many tragic secrets of the
lonely veldt. That the lust for dia-
monds-diamonds worth millions-was
at the bottom of it is certain. That
the two men quarreled about the divi-
sion to be made of the treasure is more
than probable.
Swartz and Van Niekerk were great
friends. while Van Niekerk was unpop-
ular with the other members of the
expedition, because, they said, he
shirked his share Of the hard work.
And they accused Swartz Of seeking
to throw them down."
BY the terms Of the agreement be-
tween them they were to share and
share alike. What more natural than
that Swartz-whose record for hon
esty was a bad one, for he was first
arrested for theft-should conclude,
when he found himself in the vicinity

its truth is vouched for. A certain we'll

more than four hours sleep in the
twenty-four. 1t would be interesting
to follow the health and life histor-
les of those who keep this pledge.
For we do not suppose that there is
anything dangerous in early rising in
itself but only in the combination
Herewith of going to bed late.
On the whole, 1t Is better to obey the
old proverb and Ego TO bed with the
lamb and get up with the lark" But
it is a different thing when one COM
bines the attempt to fulfill the latter
part of the advice with a habit Of go
ing to bed with the nightingale. Yet
the increasing strain of business COM
pels early rising in those who would
succeed, while if they want to com
bine pleasure with business they will
find 1t impossible to get to bed before
midnight or even then, for our amuse-
ments seem to begin and END later
every year. The energetic people who
go in for this fashion of life are apt 10
assure others, and themselves also,
that they do not require much sleep,
and undoubtedly it is possible with
practice to do with much less than the
normal amount of rest. II is impor-
tant. however, to remember that such
a habit cannot be INDUCED in without
a corresponding sacrifice of health.

is crowded with tourists from all parts

END OF USEFUL LIFE
cumbs to Injuries Received Re-
Gently in a Runaway.

DR.. J. A. Halteman of Espanola, died
at his home in that place last evening
of congestion of the brain caused by
an injury received some three weeks
ago when on professional trip to the
Pollard saw mill on the Monies Vigil
land grant. He had driven to that
place and on his way home his team
became frightened and ran away,
throwing him from the buggy and in
1icting severe injuries to his head
which resulted in congestion of the
brain. During the three weeks that
elapsed he prescribed for himself, and
last evening physician of this city
was called, but the patient died later
in the evening
The deceased was a highly respected
citizen of the community in which he
resided and was universally liked. For
a number of years he was professor in
a medical college in Japan. He came
to New Mexico some years ago for the
benefit of his health. He has been
twice married and leaves wife and
three children. He was 60 years old
at the time of his death. The funeral
will occur tomorrow.

NOT RECEIVED
WITH ENTHUSIASM
Charles Hartzel Would Have Pleased
the Porto Ricans Better Than
Judge Beckman.

Washington, May THE appoint
ment of Judge Winthrop BecSman to
be Governor Of Porto Rico has not been
received with much enthusiasm by the
people of Porto Rico. 1t was thought
that Acting Governor Charles Hartzell
of Colorado, would be appointed to the
position and this would have been most
pleasing to the people of all classes
with whom he is very popular.
Mr.. Hartzell, during the past two
years has served twelve months as
Governor of the island during the alb.
sence of Governor Hunt In the United
States. He was strongly supported by
General William r. Elliott for the posi-
tion who was content with reappont-
ment to his present Office. There are
strong indications that Judge William
H. Holt of Kentucky will not be re-
newed as federal Judge but will retire
in June. Judge Louis Sulzbacher will
leave the insular supreme bench in
June and return to the states.

Narrow Escapes.

Denver. May "A fire early this
morning completely Quilted the Curtis
Theater and caused small panic in
the neighboring hotel and rooming
house. Fortunately no lives were lost
though there were many narrow es-
capes. The May Howard Extravagan-
"a Company, playing at the theater,
lost all it's costumes and scenery. The
total loss is placed at about $60,000 A
defective electric wire is supposed to
have been the cause.
The fire was undoubtedly incendiary
according to later Investigations. The
police, firemen, insurance agents,
agents for the building and the mana
ger of the theater are all of this opin-
ion. The police are investigating.

The young man has much push, en-
ergy, and gives close and careful atten.
tion to all business intrusted to his
