THERE MAY BE
MURDER IN THIS

Mont Clair, New Jersey, Feb. 23.--
One person was burned to death, an
other is missing and, five houses were
destroyed by fire in High Street today.
The police believe the fire was incen-
diary and are Investigating it. The
person burned to death was Mrs. Han
nan B. Ross, wealthy octogenarian
who resided alone. With the possible
exception of coachman who was en-
gagged there two days ago there were
no other servants in the house. The
coachman is missing and no trace of
his body was found in the ruins. The
police are satisfied the fire started in
the bed room of Mrs. Ross, but are un-
able to determine whether the woman
was overcome by smoke and killed by
the flames or whether she was MUIR
dered and the fire started to cover up
evidence Of the crime.

bribery by ex-senator O. A. Baker,
James Hamilton, doorkeeper, today
testified before the investigation COM
mittee of the legislature that he had
been handed a number of envelopes
by 0. A. Baker to be handed to the

he gave the envelopes to a page for
distribution. He gives the names of
a number of the members to whom
these envelopes were sent. These
names are being withheld by the COM

AGED COUPLE
LOST IN STORM

A. Lockhart, aged 81 years, and his
wife, aged 79 years, while on their
way with load OF wood from the
Guadalupe Mountains to Carlsbad, a
distance of forty-five miles, were ov-
ercome by snowstorm and lost their
way. They unhitched the horses and
attempted to make their way on horse
back to the city. After riding for sew
eral hours they found that they had
been going in circle for they came
upon their load of wood again. By
this time it was growing dark and the
thermometer had dropped to zero. I'm
daunted, they started out again and
fortunately drew up at the home of
Miles Stone at Otis, none too soon, for
they were completely exhausted.

Were in Jail Here,


1t is morally certain that the two
crooks who turned the trick at Es-
pamela Tuesday night were in Jail in
this city Friday night. They were
wandering aimlessly about the city
and were arrested on charge of vag-
rancy. Upon a promise to leave the
city they were released from Jail and
they started forthwith in the direct
tion of Espanola. One of them was
lame. They were young men, probab.
| ly anywhere between twenty-four and
| thirty years of age. They were Ameri-
cans, giving their names as Fred and
Jack Harris.
Charles Closson received Mr.. Pol
lard's telegram too late yesterday to
make the IL o'clock train for Espa-
nola, but he took the Denver & Rio
Grande at that hour this morning,
taking with him the penitentiary blood
hounds, which Superintendent H. o.
Bursum loaned him. A later telegram
received from Mr.. Pollard by Mr.. Clos
son stated that the men had gone in
a southerly direction intending to
make their way to the main line of the
Santa Fe Railway. AS they are said to
speak good Spanish they can get along
in the thinly settled country. Mr.
Closson will find it difficult to get on
the trail Of the burglars on account of
the rain yesterday afternoon.
On gaining entrance to the store the
first thing the men did was to COM
pletely furnish themselves with cloth
ing. Each took good suit of clothes,
a heavy overcoat and pair Of No. Z
shoes. 1t is also thought that each
took sweater. Having thus provid-
ed themselves with satisfactory ap-
parel they discarded all of their old
clothing, leaving it in the store. 1t is
evident that they prepared their toll
cts in the store. They took dozen
cheap watches, several dozen pocket
knives and one 5000 Savage rifle with
cartridges for it..
Bloodhounds Strike Trail.

Espanola, p. M, Feb. 23.-Charles

Is believed to be hot and which leads
to Hose Canon, northwest of Espanola.
1t is expected that the burglars will be
bagged tonight or tomorrow.

BARELA RUMOR

nero Barela, state Senator, who will

with the Republican leaders of New

gubernatorial situation in New Mexi.
CO." said Senator Barela, "but l can
say that Governor Otero is on my
side and that the anti-Otero faction in
New Mexico is also standing for me.
1t is believed that Congress will final
ly join Arizona to New Mexico. The
people will reject such scheme, and
the result will be that the statehood
scheme will be held up.
Governor Otero hopes to be reap
pointed Governor of the Territory, but
the impression prevails that Mr..
Roosevelt will not make the appoint
ment for the sake of harmony. I ex-
pect that Mr.. Roosevelt will appoint
me Governor of the Territory about
July 1, next. am compromise can
didate and l have no personal inter-
ests to serve in the Territory"
When BareIa Was Here.
When Senator Barela was in this
city few days ago, he was here in
the interest of Jose E. Vigil who had
been sentenced to be hanged in Ration
on the 18th instant and for whom he
obtained respite from Governor
Otero. There was nothing political in
his mission as far as known and his
alleged candidacy for the governorship
of New Mexico was denied by his
friends. Governor Otero's commission
does not expire until January, 1905.
While here the New Mexican is in
formed that Senator Barela informed
several we'll known Republicans that
he was not candidate for Governor
of New Mexico

HIS CHARACTER
SADLY DETAINED

w. G. d. Miller, ex-passenger' brake
man on the Santa Fe, having a run be-
tween Albuquerque and Ell Paso, has
filed a suit in the District Court at Ell
Paso for $4,000, for defamation of
character resulting in his inability to
secure employment.
Miller was employed by the Santa
Fe from July last to November, with
a run between Albuquerque and Ell
Paso, as passenger brakeman. Last
October while transferring baggage
and express at Rincon, he ran a nail
through his hand. Blood poison re-
suited from the wound and he was
compelled to lay off for several
weeks. At the time of the injury the
plaintiff was induced by the claim
agent of the road to sign papers so it
is alleged, releasing the company
from all liability for the injury, the
company in turn agreeing to give him
his regular run when he had recoy-
cred
He resumed his duties December
7th and upon reaching Albuquerque,
December 9Th he was discharged and
upon demanding his service card
found it contained a charge that he
had violated rule G, which forbids
drinking while on duty, habitual drunk
enness or frequenting places where
liquors are sold With such card
employment is impossible.
For thirteen years and up to the
time of his employment by the Santa
Fe Miller was an employe of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Yexas Railway.

Rumors of Battle.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 23.-Although
the city continues full of rumors that
a big battle is proceeding below Muk-

these reports. Special dispatches,
however, as well as can be judged by
the mutilated manner in which they
pass censor, portend the imminence of
extensive operations. The Japanese
are showing activity on both flanks
and the railroad has again been dam
