by hundreds from the water and lain
in rows on the grass at North Broth
er island, each was tagged with num-
Der. That number was carefully re-
corded, and the papers, yaluables and
trinkets which would have served to
positively identify the bodies were re-
moved and placed in separate pack
ages, each package bearing a numper
corresponding to the number on the
body from which the articles were
taken. These packages were then
placed in the custody Of the coroner.
Scores of the bodies at the morgue
were burned or bruised beyond recog-
milton, but it was hoped that all might
be claimed by friends by means Of tha
papers and jewelry. When the bodies
were taken to the morgue, they were
placed in numbered boxes, but in
many cases these numbers did not cor
respond with the figures the bodies
previously had borne. AS a result, the
plans were completely upset, and the
numbered packages of valuables be.
came practically worthless as means
Of identifying the unfortunate owners.

A FINAL WORD.

According to q statement signed by
margarine Romero and circulated
about the streets yesterday afternoon,
that gentleman declares himself as
nneqniyoeally In favor of the govern
ment reservoir on the Las Vegas
grant. The Optic is glad TO know that
he has set himself straight before the
community on this point, and hopes
thar In his future curse he will bear
out his statement by avoiding any
thing which could possibly interfere
with favorable action on the part Of
the government.
The Optic has been aware that Mr..
Romero was supported In his conten-
ton by zone of the leading attorneys
of the territory" II Is aware Of the
fact that there are many who believe
his recent statements have been writ
ten by this same attorney. But it
knows that the legal talent of Las
Vegas IL practically unanimous
against Mr.. Romero and his counsel.
Considerable attention is given by
Mr.. Romero to the opinion OF Mr..
Jones. An Optic man questioned that
gentleman last night and he stated
that he had not seen Mr.. Romero's
statement, but added:
II have never at any time said or
Done anything which was intended to
convey the idea by inference or other.
wise. that the municipality. the Town
OF Las Vegas. has any control or au-
rhoritg owe tho Las Vegas grant"
Az for the numerous and varied sub
iects referred to In Mr.. Romerofs
latest statement, the gentleman has
declined Our courteous invitation to
express himself through these col
INN and The Optic must decline to
devote further space TO a discussion
with a handful.
