SHEEPMEN LOSE HEAVILY.
Reports From Otero County Tell Of
Loss of Ewes and Lambs and
Small Wool Crop.

A number of sheepmen from Tula-
rosa, La Luz and Three Rivers, who
were in Alamogordo the past week, re-
port stock conditions in their localities
as grave. Pablo Chaves, a merchant
and sheepman of TularOsa, says that
out of 1000 head of ewes he has not
saved lamb, and about 800 of his
ewes have died up to the present time.
His losses have been about $4,000. Am
brocio Will a neighbor of Mr. Chaves,
sheared 5S5 head of sheep and has
since lost 800 head of them and all the
lambs. Andelicio Padilla of Three
Rivers has lost all his lambs and 800
ewes out of herd of 1000. His wool
crop is also a total loss as so many
Of the sheep had shed that it did not
pay him to clip His loss he says is
about $4,000 Others in that section
have also lost heavily. Mr. Padilla
thinks that the prolonged drouth dis
eased the sheep and that the shedding
of the wool resulted.
Munroe Harper of Three Rivers. a
cattleman says his stock is doing fair
ly well and that he sustains very lit
tie loss, but the ranches further out
on the plains are losing cattle.

TWO REPORTS WILL
Be PRESENTED
Majority Of the Committee on ResoIu.
tions in California Convention
Favor Unnstructed Delegation.

Santa cruz. California. May 1.-THE
chief feature of interest at the State
Democratic convention today will be
the report of the committee on resOlu.
fions. 1t is probable that two reports
will be presented, one by the majority
of the committee which. it is under
stood, is in favor of an uninstructed
delegation. and another by the minori-
ty favoring endorsement of w. R.
Hearst for President. There is the
possibility that the debate on the res
olutions will be prolonged and vote
not be reached until tomorrow. Should
this be the case today's session will be
devoted chiefly to oratory. The vote
taken late yesterday on the election of
a temporary chairman, showed the Op-
posing factions nearly evenly divided
and neither side seemed prepared to
force the vote on the main issue be.
fore the convention.
The committee on the platform met
al 10 this morning to hear the reports
of the subcommittee. Indications,
before the convention was called to
order. were that the fight for instruc
tions is still anybody's. The Hearst
leaders seem confident of winning the
instructions and their opponents are
ouite as we'll satisfied that the San
Francisco delegation will stand pat
against instructions.

Illinois Convention.

Springfield, Ills, May 17-Conferen
ces to break the deadlock in the Re
publican state convention seeming
fruitless, the delegates today faced the
prospect of further stubborn balloting

committee said no agreement between
Yates and any other candidates had
been reached but that if the balloting
failed to produce results before 4
O'Clock this afternoon, further reports
would be made to get the candidates
together. The outlook was that un-
less Yates should be beaten by the
combination to which both Lowden
and Deneen were parties. the dead
lock would continue indefinitely.
The first ballot today showed gains
for Lowden when 26 Yates men voted
for the former. Vote: Lowden 452,

Iosis Treated in the Institution
Only Four Have Died.

Pittsburg. Pa, May 1.-THE Jewish
National Association for Consump
tives with hospital at Denver, Colo
RADIO, met during the past week at the
Hotel Henry in this city and the ses-
sion was largely attended by members
from different parts of the east. The
treasurer reported that up to date the
association had received $250.000;
$4,000 was in the treasury, and that
$4,000 more was needed to carry on
the work. A. Lippman of Pittsburg,
donated $1,000 as a memorial to his
parents, and Jacob and Morris Kauf-
man gave $1,000 to establish a bed in
the hospital in memory of their Sis
ter. According to the report of the
secretary, of 1863 patients admitted to
the hospital 151 had been discharged
as cured and but four had died. The
question was discussed and then re-
ferred to the National Association of
Jewish Charities, of finding positions
for the discharged patients in the
Rocky Mountain region.

Parker made gains.
George B. Cortelyou will be the next
chairman Of the national Republican
committee and will manage the cam

He was trained by Mckinley, who is

BOIlERMAkERS
CAUSE TROUBLE
Object to the Reinstating of Murphy
and Gordon and Declare Another
Strike in Consequence.


The boilermakers' union in Alamo
gordo is making trouble for the Ell
PasO & Northeastern Railway Com
pany. The recent trouble with the
machinists had been patched up. and
it was thought that matters would run
along smoothly. However, the boiler
makers union learned that Murphy and
Gordon, two of the five men on whose
account the recent boilermakers' strike
on that line was declared, were likely
to be put back to work and the union
notified the company that it would de-
clare another strike in consequence.
1t is stated that the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers of which Cor
don is member and the order of Rail
road Telegraphers of which Murphy is
a member, have been working ever
since the last strike to get these men
reinstated and all the unions but the
boilermakers have agreed to raise no
objections to their being put back.
The possibilities are that the other
shopmen may join the boilermakers
in their strike.
