COL. j. FRANCISCO CHAVES OF
NEW MEXICO KILLED.
POLITICAL MURDER
Victim Was President of the Senate in
the Territory and Formerly in
Congress One of the IMost In
fIuentia Men in the EnEire Com.
nnonWealth.

Albuquerque, N. M, Nov. 28.-Col-
onel J. Francisco Chaves, former dele
gate in congress from New Mexico,
president of the New Mexico senate
and one Of the foremost politicians
of the territory, was assassinated while
he sat at supper in Pinos Wells, a
sheep ranch supply station 100 miles
northeast of Albuquerque, in the cen
ter Of the Estancia plains.
Colonel Chaves had gone to the
range with Louis rauer to buy sheep,
and being unable to finish his business
and return to the railroad, went to the
home Of Juan F. Salas for the night.
At o'clock a shot was fired through
the window, the bullet striking Colonel
Chaves at the base of the brain and
killing him instantly.
The accepted theory is that Colonel
Chaves was killed by political enemies,
as a result of bitter factional fight for
the election of county officers in Tor
rance county, which was created re-
Gently by the legislature. Colonel
Chaves was reelected to the senate,
and his entire ticket carried the county
against an independent republican
ticket. Much bitterness resulted from
the contest. Another theory is that he
was killed by cattle rustlers, whom he
had been active in running down.
Colonel Chaves is a grandson Of
Francisco Xavier Chaves, first gov
ernor Of New Mexico under the repub-
licans. He was born in 1888 and
crossed the plains to st. Louis, where
he received his education. Returning
to New Mexico in 1851, he led the cam
paign against the Navajo Indians, in
which he was repeatedly wounded.
During this period he was elected a
member of the legislature, where he
stayed until his election to congress.
In 1861 Lincoln appointed him major
in the regiment of which Kit Carson
was colonel, and which served in the
defense of Fort Union and at the bat
tie of Valverde.
After serving a term in congress
Colonel Chaves was returned to the
i New Mexico senate and elected presi
dent, a position he had held continu
lously. Although II years old, he still
was one Of the most powerful forces in
New Mexico politics.
At the time of his death he was en-
gagged in writing a history of New
Mexico from the Spanish occupation
under the patronage Of the New
Mexico legislature. The body will be
taken to Santa Fe, where the funeral
will be held.

HAVE A CIGAR.

Judge Sulzer of Cleveland holds
when a "nagging' wife drives a man
to destruction it is his privilege to go
out and get drunk if he thinks that
thereby he can gain solace and peace.
Declaring thus for the rights of the
husband, Judge Sulzer says:
"In a good many of these cases
find that it is the wife who is to
blame. The husband comes home
peaceably inclined and then the wife
begins to nag The result is that he
goes and gets drunk and | don't blame
him"
There now If when you go home to-
night your wife should happen to nag

not so much to condemn you for get
