GALLUP COAL MINER
FATALLY MURDERED

A special to the Albuquerque Citi.
zen of the 27th says:
Andrew Casna, an old resident OF
Mckinley county and living three
miles west of Gallup. little off from
the wagon road to Clarkville, was
murdered sometime last night and his
wife reported. shot She may die.
VARIOUS reports as to the cause OF
the 1nurder is being discussed. but
robbery seems to have been the mo.
tive, as Casna was known to keep
around tie premises considerable
r,cney.
The murdered mans son drove into
Gallup this morning and reported the
crime TO Sheriff Harry Coddington,
who with several deputies. left imme-
diately for the scene Of crime.
At O'Clock this afternoon the sher-
iff end deputies had not returned to
town.
The murdered man is a well known
Italian ccal mine operator. and sells
his coal by the wagon loads to the con-
sumelE IN and around Gallup. Half a
dozen coal miners, all Of whom are
Italians. reside in close proximity to
Casna's house, and these men are ac-
quainted with the fact that Casna al
ways kept considerable money at his
house to pay them off and to meet
other obligations.
1t Is thought here that Sheriff Cod
dingtOr has several men under sus.
p'cion and several arrests will be
made before night.

900 and $72,795 profits in the various
syndicate deals, which had been re-
corded In the books of the Equitable
society. but expert accountants were
still searching for a record Of these
checks. Winthrop has not yet found

Must be Preserved.

J. B. Lippincott, supervising engineer of the reclamation bu- reau, has called attention again to the danger of the government losing two valuable reservoir sites on the upper waters of the Colorado river tributaries, known as the Kremling site on the Grand river and the Browns Park site on the Green river. Reservoirs on these two sites would impound 4, 1000, ,ooo-acre feet a year, adding 6oo,o ,ooo acres to the irrigation capacity of the waters of the Col orado. The danger lies in the fact that a railroad is persisting in its efforts to get right of way through these sites, thereby mak- ing it impossible to use them for impounding water.
 California and Arizona have the greatest possible interest in resist ing this railroad project, for the

Accidentally Killed.

]. ]. Rath, one of the most prominent and best known citi- zens of Cochise county, was ac- cidentally killed while out driving with several companions Sunday.
 From the statements of the witnesses, Rath had a shotgun resting with its muzzle upon his lap. The jar of the buggy caused the hammar to strike, discharging the contents of one barrel into his neck, killing him instantly.
 Mir. Rath was for more than two years identified with the Southern Pacific and Wells Far go companies in that section, re- signing three years ago to look out for private interests. He has been engaged in the hotel and mining business since.
 He was prominently connected with politics in Cochise county and was justice of the peace at the time of his death. MT. Rath was

TO VISIT ARIZONA
Statehood Question Will be Made a Special Study by An
 other Party of Statesmen.

A Chicago telegram says: Ar engagements have just been com pleted for a congressional party, occupying two private cars, to leave on the 5th, 9th, or 7th of October-the exact date is un- settled, so far-for a trip through New Mexico and Arizona. The object of the trip will be a close investigation of conditions in the two territories, with special refer ence to their proposed admission as one state.
 Arizona should derive immense benefits from the visit, for tn C whole arrangement is the out come of efforts which prominent Arizonians have been making for some time to induce a large party of congressman to visit that ter ritory and learn the many reasons for Arizona's opposition to joint statehood.
 The personnel will include many of the most influential members of the national house of representatives. The itinerary will be completed within a few days and will include the principal points in both territories. They will be accompanied from Chicago by President Murphy of the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phoenix railway, and will be met at some point in New Mexico by President Ran dolph of the Southern Paci fc lines in Arizona, and these gentle men, with other citizens of Ari- zona, will see that the visitors have every opportunity to see Arizona and its people in thoroughly satisfactory manner.

FOrtleth Weddlna Anniversary

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Sylvester
~ Palmer, out in the Small neighbOr-
hood, was the scene of a very pleasant
event Monday afternoon of this week,
the occasion being the fortieth ami
versary of their marriage. About
sixty-tve neighbors and members OF
Lamoille Grange were present to help
celebrate the event and all Joined in
making the day as enjoyable as the
one on which the worthy couple
started on the matrimonial voyage
forty years ago. At two O'Clock the
company gathered in the dining
room, where an old-fashioned oyster
supper was served-I. n. LeBaron
acting as chef Following the repast
the young people occupied the time
with games and jollity, while the old
er members passed pleasant after
noon in visiting. Mr.. and Mrs.
Palmer received many nice gifts, in
Guiding a purse of money. The pre-
>sentation speech was made by u.
Frank Small, a cousin of Mr.. Palmer,
in very felicitious manner and was
pleasantly responded to by both Mr..
and Mrs. Palmer. The former re-
sponded in a characteristically serl-
GUS manner, referring to the many
changes which have taken place in
the past forty years and saying that
only four families remained of those
who owned farms on Randolph road
forty years ago. lie also spoke OF
the advance in educational work in
those years and referred to the con-
dition and prospects of the farmer OF
to-day as being especially bright,
Mrs. Palmer spoke in her usually
happy way. Referring to the forty
years of married happiness, she was
inclined to give the credit for the
harmony reigning all those years to
the good qualities of the head of the
house, rather than to any particular
virtue in this line on her part. Al
together her remarks were very ap-
propriate and pleasing.
Mr.. Palmer was born in the south
part of the town and moved to the
Small neighborhood, when but six
weeks old, and was adopted by his
uncle, Luther Small, who lived in
the house now occupied by the former,
and has resided there continually
since. Mrs. Palmer was Rocepha
Cleveland of Stowe, the youngest
grand child of Oliver Luce, who was
the first settler OF that town. The
worthy couple have resided on the
home farm continually since their
marriage, their longest absence being
OF only a few weeks duration, occa-
sionaly a western visiting trip
Theirs has been the kind of lite which
helps to make up thrifty, and pros
porous community and their man>
friends Join in wishing them many
more years of happiness and pros
perIty.
