pee of Birds,

Frequently arguments arise as to the
speed with which wild birds fly. and
many men of science have sought to
determine something about 1t. Natu-
rally it is impossible to fix the record
made by such birds as grouse. quail and
snipe when they first arise. but it is
safe to say that they are not going one
half as fast as the luckless gunner
who misses them imagines. With the
migratory fowls of known fast fight.
such as ducks and geese. something
more nearly accurate is known. The
green winged tea is about the speediest
of them all. 1t does something like
ninety miles an hour as readily as a
sparrow dives into an inviting rain
spout. The canvasback is only a trifle
slower. probably eighty five miles being
its limit. while the black duck, mallard
and redhead fall below this. being
timed at about eighty miles. Still this
is plenty fast enough to insure lots of
misses unless the fellow with the gun
looks down the rib straight and pulls
the trigger at the right time.

THE ASSASSINATION.

HE A(CACSllNA lIOlNs
The Denver News under an
Albuquerque date line gives the
following account of the aSSas-
sination Of Col. Chaves.
J. Francisco Chaves, former delegate
in congress from New Mexico, presi-
dent of the New Mexico senate and
one of the foremost politicians of the
Territory. was assassinated last
night while he sat at supper in Pinos
Wells, a sheep ranch supply station
100 miles southeast of albuquerque,
in the center of the vast Estancia
plains.
The accepted theory is that Colo
mel Chaves vas killed by political en-
emies, as the result of a bitter fac
Iional fight for the election Of county
officers in Torrance county, which
has recently been created by the leg
islature.
Colonel Chaves had gone to the
range with Louis Trauer of this city
to buy sheep, and being unable to fin
ish his business and return TO the
railroad, went to the home Of Juan
F. Salas, in Pinos Wells for the night
At Z o'clock. as the party sat at
supper, a shot was fired through the
open window. and the bullet struck
Col. Chaves al the base of the brain,
killing him instantly. The shot was
fired from a point so close to the win
dow that the powder was ground in
the glass.
The assassin, who was alone, made
his escape on horseback. Three posses
under the heriffs of three counties,
are securing the plains and country
IN search Of the criminal. No arrests
have yet been made, but u number
OF men in Torrance county arc said
to be under suspicion as the instiga-
tors of the assassination.
Colonel Cnaves was reelected to
the senate. and his entire ticket car
ried the county against an independ-
ent Republican ticket. Much bitter
ness resulted from the contest.
The assassination has created deep
feeling all over New Mexico, where
the veteran politician was held in
great respect. II the assassin is
caught a lynching is expected.
Colonel Chaves was the grandson
of Francisco Xavier Chaves, the first
governor of New Mexico under the
republic. He was born in 1888 and
crossed the plains to st. Louis, where
he received his education. completing
same under Edward Delafield in New
York. Returning to New Mexico in
1S4l, he led the noted campaign ag-
ainst the Navajo Indians, in which
he was repeatedly wounded. During
this period he was elected \ member
or the legislature. which position he
held until his election TO congress. In
1861 Lincoln appointed him major in
the regiment of which Kit Carson
was colonel, which served in the
defense OF Fort Union and at he bat
tie OF valverde.
After serving a term IN congress,
Colonel Chaves was returned to the
New Mexico senate and elected presi-
dent. a position he has held continu-
ously. Although II years old, he was
still one of the most powerful forces
in New Mexico politics. At the time
of his death he was engaged in writ
ing q history OF New Mexico from the
Spanish occupation. under the patron
age OF the New Mexico legislature.

they slept. a few japanese escaped and
sought shelter in stacks of TIE Chinese

by the frenzy OF revenge, rushed upon
the survivors and literally tore up their
bodies with bayOnets. The Russians
then rolled themselves in the japanese

The next morning tie japanese again

Russian losses in men and guns, COM
