The .Whoie tory .! EraternaL City
and the Manner Of It's Achievement

The sparkling, mountain water that
supplies this city was analyzed and
found as pure and wholesome as any
III the world. The city, and more es-
pecially the sanitalium location pro-
jected. We're found to be sheltered by
western mountains from the heaviest
winds and comparatively immune from
dust storms, such as are menace to
health in many western localities.
From every viewpoint, Las Vegas
answered the health tests satisfacto-
rily. But the committee was from old
Missouri and literally had to be shown.
And other favored locations In New
Mexico might have answered all or
nearly all the tests, almost as well as
Las Vegas. Where climatic conditions
were fairly equal other considerations
were bound to count, and somebody
had to take vigorous steps TO max,
these considerations as weighty as pos.
sible
The somebody was everybody. 1t
was one instance in which all Las
Vegas got together as never before. He
who had two talents expended them as
freely as he who had ten and he is
deserving of just as much credit.
There is much credit for every one and

The case of the United States OF

on the United States side Of the dock.
ct this morning. The defendants are
charged with the holding up and at.
tempted robbery of train on the
Rock Island road near the station OF
Logan, about forty miles north of the
town of Tucumcari on the night of
June End, 1904. U. S. Attorney W..
H. II Llewellyn is prosecuting the
case. and Judge Z. " Long and
George H. Hunker represent the de-
fendant.
The defendants were indicted at the
last term of court, and have been in
the county Jail for San Miguel county
for the past six months. They are all
young men, under thirty years of age,
and from their appearance in the court
room this morning did not impress one
as being the desperate men they are
charged to be. The entire morning
session was consumed in securing a
jury. Twenty-Five out OF the regular
venire Of twenty-four jurors, were ex.
amined, before twelve men were Sc
cured who were satisfactory to both
plaintiff and defendants. The follow

Now that Fraternal City has become
an actuality the people Of Las Vegas
are not slow TO give the credit for Sc
curing the great institution where they
believe it to be due True. it was nec-
essary for Las Vegas to fulfill every
health condition demanded by the ex-
acting board Of managers. The eli
mate had to be shown beyond doubt to
be the best possible for the cure OF tu-
bercular troubles, and to this end vital
statistics were shown, the record of a
large number of invalids who had been
cured in Las Vegas was gone into;
the testimony of all the physicians in
the city was secured; the sanitariums
already in operation in the city were
visited; the evidence of a number of
the best physicians in the United
States, who had studied this locality
and the evidence, too, of United States
medical experts, who came here
searching for location for military
post was taken, and letters Of ,evi-
dence were secured from whatever
source possible, and the records of
the government weather bureau for
years past were gone over. AS all
Las Vegans knew in advance, this city
fulfilled the rigid climatic test.

the rates on carloads OF various kinds

said relative to the reasonableness Of
cattle rates In that territory. This
showed that cattle rates are thirteen

In his opening statement 10 the
jury, u. S. Attorney Llewellyn out
lined what the prosecution expected
to prove against the defendants, stat
ing that the express messenger on the
train would positively identify MUIR
ply and Jim Black as being present
at the time of the robbery, but that
the engineer and fireman would not
identify the men except TO state that
they resembled the men who partici-
pated in the hold-up.
The United States expects to show
that two of the defendants on Trial,
Jim Black and John Murphy, were
near the scene of the hold-up and af-
ter it's occurrence, and in company with
John Black they went to Delhart and
Amarillo, Texas, and thence to the
