Loses Snug Income.

There is one in Nevada who has ex-
cellent reason to regret the cOmplet-
ion Of the Tonopah railroad. He is
J. D. Lothrop who holds the Office Of
postmaster at Sodaville During the
days of the stage a large share of the
letters mailed were sent out at night
after the postoffice mail was made up
and sacked. The stage office would
frequently have as man.. as 400 or
500 letters at a time, ana they would
be mailed at Sodaville. The salary
of the Sodaville postmaster comes
through the cancellation of stamps
and it would not be over estimating
to say that he must have made from
S. to $6 "a day on an average out C
Tonopah letters.
OF course all the freighters and
the stage men have to seek other
fields of activity, but that is matter
of public knowledge, while nobody
not directly concerned ever gave a
thought to the nice income enjoyed ia

The Concert.

Last evening the band boys gave
what will be the last of their open
air concerts under the old plan. 1t IS
the talk among the boys that a neY
organization viii be perfected and that
the band VIII go on with its good
work
1t is such evenings as last night that
make the band popular in this city.
The boys give the best of music and
it is appreciated. A town without a
band is like a city without ist adOrl-
ments of beauty.
Everyone hopes that the band boys
will continue with their good work
and that when they have a rest more
evenings of pleasure will be given.

IMPORTANT
WATER SUIT
Valuable Rights on the South
Spring River in Chaves County
Involved.

| The hearing of the arguments in the
case of the Woodlawn Ditch Company
vs. the South Spring Ranch and Cattle
Company was commenced yesterday
before Associate Justice w. H. Pope.
| The testimony in this case was taken
before a referee at Roswell last sum-
mer and consists of about 700 pages
of typewriter matter The case in
wolves the question of water rights and
the title to the water in what is known
as South Spring River near the city
of Roswell In June. 1903, the plain
tiff brought an injunction against the
defendant to restrain it from interfer.
ing with certain waters above it's dam

kin Row Ditch and the Woodlawn
Ditch, the two former being owned by
the defendant, and these three bitches
supply the water for the most beaut-
full of all the Pecos Valley, the proper
ty under them being valued at about
$1,O00,000. J. J. Hagerman is the own
er of most of the stock in the defend
ant corporation, and upon his land is
situated the celebrated Hagerman

CRIMINAL
NEGLECT
Evidence Given Under Oath To.
day in Iroquois Horror
Investigation in Chicago.
CURTAIN 0BSTRUCTED
Joseph Daugherty, in Charge Of it Said
This Condition Existed Previous
to Fire.

Chicago, Jan. 5-Evidence showing
grosser criminal neglect than anything
previously developed was given under
oath today in the fire department in.
vestigation of the Iroquois horror.
Joseph Daugherty, who had charge
of the curtain, swore that two weeks
ago during matinee performance,
there was fire on the stage and when
he attempted to lower the asbestos
curtain it was stopped by some OBJ
struction that prevented it's operation
on last Wednesdays fatal afternoon.
The curtain manager declares that he
protested at that time but no atten-
ton was paid to his warning.
In his opinion if the curtain had
been run down during the fatal matt
nee, the lives of many. if not all, the
victims of the disaster might have
been saved. It was only by the mere
est chance that panic was averted as
a result of the first fire. The skylight
at that time he said, was securely
closed.
Two important witnesses were dis
covered today in the persons of
Charles F. Rooster and Henry lander
real estate dealers. They were pass
ing the theater when the fire broke out
and attempted to get inside. While
the smoke was issuing from the cracks
in the front door, they were denied ad-
mission. They declare that the doors
we're kept closed by the ushers and at
tendants in the lobby for nearly five
minutes after the fire was discovered
on the stage. Coroner Trager has sum.
moned 40 witnesses to the inquest
which begins on Thursday.
Attorney Faulkerson, representing
the fire department, said in an inter-
view that somebody would have to ex.
plain the reason for disregarding the
warning Of Daugherty concerning the
flre curtain.
