DISMISSED ON POINTS.
Consideration Of the Evidence Did
Not Enter Into Tailmadqe Case.

Consideration of the Evidence Did
Not Enter Into Tailmadge Case.
Speaking of the dismissal of the
Tallmadge cases yesterday at Porta-
les, Assistant U. S. Attorney e. L.
Medler said today: ''The two charges
of perjury were dismissed because of
a leak in the law. The claim of the
prosecution was that defendant swore
falsely when he, as a witness in a
land registration, swore that he was
not interested in the claim The at
torneys for the defense found that
this statement, whether true or false,
had no punishment under the present
law.
THE other three cases ere alleged
cases of subornation of perjury. The
attorneys for the defense claimed that
this was the same as in common law,
IN which the man charged with per-
Jury must either be convicted or
have prosecution against him, be-
fore anyone can be charged with SUI
formation of perjury in his case 1t
vas claimed that a person guilty of
subornation was an accessory, and
hat the principal had first to be le-
sally accused before the accessory
could be prosecuted. The commission
er ruled in their favor"
The attorney for the government,
rather than have the defendant dis.
charged after hearing, dismissed the
complaints without prejudice to his
rights to file new charges
After the cases had been dismissed
he citizens of Portales held a meet
ing and celebrated the result by
adopting set of resolutions That
Portales was practically solid in it's
sympathy with the accused was evi-
fenced by the fact that nearly all the
business houses were closed and the
| business men attended the trial and
he mass meeting that followed. The
Record will say something more of
| the resolutions adopted by the mass
| meeting.

For the first time in several weeks,
a good sized crowd of prospective
land buyers came in last night on
me regular excursion train from the
North For two months the, crowds
had been gradually gIowing smaller
and smaller, until two weeks ago. the
time OF the last excursion, the crowd
was hardly large enough to use the
name. II certainly looked good this
morning to see the different aggre-
cations OF prospective land-buyers
and the real estate agents showing
them about the streets, after the big
slump Of me past several weeks. The
hotel registers also presented a more
prosperous appearance.
The train from the North came in
shortly after eight o'clock Thursday
evening, about four hours late. The
TaIlmadge company had 81 people
in its crowd. a majority of whom
were prospective land buyers. This
number, however. included the ag-
ents They occupied two coaches.
There were about eighteen OF twenty
buyers in the DeFreest-Draper Com
panys excursion. Then there we're
smaller parties under individual man
agement. and a few who had come
under the direction of no company.
C. l. and E. r. Tallmadge, who
had been at Portales, accompanied
the excursion here. w. II. Wishart
was in charge of the train. B. H.
Tallmadge went from Portales to his
home in Denver, having received
word of the sickness of his wife.
There are several causes of the
slump in the excursions for the past
few weeks. One of them was that
the farmers had all their spring and
summer work to do. Another was
the North and Central states. Then

two or three years. The excursion O

due chiefly to the belief that the lad
from the national capital is no match
for Britt and that the fight will conse-
quently be a one-sided affair. The
fight followers were desiriOus of see
ing Britt and Battling" Nelson in
the ring again and are disappointed
that Britt should side-step a match
with the Dane and take on Sullivan,
who is regarded as an easy mark.
Sullivan is an unknown quantity
here, but some of the critics who have
watched him at work think well of
some quarters that he will give the
San Francisco idol a tussel when they
come together tonight. Sullivan is a
slam-bang fighter of the rough-and-
ready type. His chief defect is his
lack of experience His brief record.

Sullivan followed with a ten-round
draw with Young Corbett." In this
battle Sullivan's manager insisted on
draw if the men were on their feet
at the finish, and he was much cha

van did. But the best performance in
Sullivan's record was his six-round
encounter with Battling" Nelson, in
which the Washington lad exchanged
blow for blow and held his own to
the finish.
Since the match between Britt and
Sullivan was made several weeks ago

San Diego, Cal, July 21.-One of
the most frightful disasters during
peace in the history of the American
navy, excepting the sinking of the
Maine, at Havana, occurred in San
Diego Bay shortly after 10:3O this
morning on board the U. S. gunboat
Bennington. At a moment when the
warship was lying quietly at anchor
and was an object of interest to hun
dreds of observers, a cloud of steam
suddenly burst out from a point just
forward of the smokestack, out of
which the spectators were Mortified
to see bodies and human fragments
hurled high in the air. The next mo

The sight will never be forgotten
Wagons with dozens of wounded men
were not rare. One wagon had eight
men sitting or reclining against the
sides, holding in their laps the heads
of comrades near to death, all with
faces black with CRIME and smoke.
Every effort was made to assist the
stricken men.

Galena, Kans.. July 21.-The flood
conditions along Spring river north
