MEXICAN BOY DROWNED.
The, Hondo River Dragged But the
Body Was Not Found.

The, Hondo River Dragged But the
Body Was Not Found.
Playing with four other little Mex
lean children about the Barnett f1ume
which crosses the river between Ros-
well and Chihuahua, Jose Estrada, a
Mexican boy of eight years, was
drowned in the Rio Hondo at $3.50
yesterday afternoon. A careful search
failed to locate the body, and there
is much doubt as to the finding of
the remains. since the stream is con-
siderably swollen with rains in the
head waters. of the river.
Little Jose had lived with his par
ents. Tomas Estrada and wife. in
Chihuahua With the other children
of the Mexican suburb, he had plav-
ed on the banks of the Hondo much
of his life. Yesterday afternoon he
had been sent out to gather wood
and chips from the banks of the swol-
len stream, and the children were di-
viding their time between the work
and the pleasure of gathering flow
ers- Jose started to cross the fiume
at the Barnett place and tumbled in
to the turbulent waters He was en-
tirely helpless and was soon swal-
lowed in the rushing current.
The children were only ones who
saw the accident. They say, howev.
er. that there was q Mexican man

STOCK MARKET CONFUSED.
Break in Prices Accompanied by All

Break in Prices Accompanied by All
Sorts of Rumors and Reports
New York, April 29.-The break in
prices on the stock exchange was ac-
companied today by all sorts of ru-
mors and reports, some of them re-
fiecting on the solvency of institu-
tions and individuals There were ire
medously heavy selling orders from
such out of town points at Philadel-
phia. Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston.
The first two cities unloaded enor-
nous quantities of steel stocks. In
quiry among the brokers in the fnan-
cial district ELECTED no reason for to-
days sharp decline, although it has
been the opinion of the banking ele-
ment for some time that prices were
beyond reason.

on the railroad trestle, which crosses
the river a hundred feet or more
down stream from the fiume, and that
they called frantically to him for as
sistance. but that he said he was
afraid of the water himself, and re-
fused to help the drowning boy. The
children give the name of the man
cord reporter. the man in question
stoutly denied having witnessed the
drowning.
AS soon as the children could get
to Chihuahua, a couple of hundred
yards from the fiume, they spread the
alarm and the whole populace ran
to the river bank to hunt for the bo-
dy. The report soon reached Ros-
well and parties of citizens went to
the scene of the drowning and form
ed themselves into hunting parties
For more than a mile down stream
the river was dragged, slowly and
carefully. but no trace of the body
was found The river came up still
higher during the night, and it is
doubtful if the body is ever found.
By this morning it was probably car
ried down to the Pecos river.
The mother of the boy took his sud-
den death and disappearance very
hard. AT first she became greatly ex-
cited and almost went into spasms,
but she afterward became quiet and
could think only of what the children
had told her about the man on the
bridge refusing to save her child
from death. She described the affair
in a vivid manner to Record re-
porter.
There is a superstition among the
older MeXicans that when the Hon.
do roars at night it is demanding tri-
butte. and that some one will be swal-
lowed up in its waters. For several
nights the Hondo has been roaring,
ing, however, has a peculiar phase.
1t is only under certain conditions
that the water makes a noise. When
the stream is bank full. it sometimes
moves along quietly. 1t is probable
that this noise is made only when the
water is coming up and has reached
a certain height, and roars as it tum-
bles over the rocks. The old Mexi-
cans declare that the news of this
drowning was no surprise to them
Tomas Estrada, father of the
drowned boy, is a sheep shearer

of all the praise for the manner in
which it was carried out. 1t was a
farce comedy, and several of the
towns young ''Thespians'' took the
different parts in way to reflect ere
dit upon themselves. The pleasant
rooms of the Club were crowded be-
yond their seating capacity and the
stylish and appreciative audience
greatly enjoyed the performance.
The Ugliest of the Seven" was
the title of the farce The story ran
in a light vein and was easily fol
lowed. The parts were well taken and
on many occasions the audience was
moved to laughter by the highly dra-
matte situations and mock-heroic
statements of the actors and actress
es. Mr.. Nelson took the part of the
hero, who was young heir to a Ger
man estate, who, upon returning
from a long trip to lands unknown
found that in order to win the title
to his lawful estate, he must marry
the ugliest of the seven daughters of
whose estate was the one thing great
ly desired. Upon his return, the heir
fell in love with the prettiest of the
seven, whose part was acted by Miss
Ogle. The will also provided that
three maiden friends of the deceased
meet and decide which of the seven
daughters was the ugliest. Upon the
first meeting the maiden friends de-
cided that the daughter represented
by Miss Ogle was the prettiest and
her to make the three judges change
their minds. This was satisfactorily
done by a ruse and the farce came
to the desired end.
AS the prettiest and ugliest daugh-
ter, Miss Ogle took the leading part,
the honor. Mr.. Nelson as the leading
man. was also good and the garden
scenes between these two were pret-
ty and nicely carried out
AS the steward, Mr.. Hedgcoxe was
fine, acting with the manner and the
lcCHAiquS VI dH eApSTl0uc0u ACTOR.
The parts of the six daughters, 9th
er than the ugliest and prettiest, |
were taken by Misses Margaret Pat |
terson, Littlefield, CarIyn Shaver, |
Cortez Bell and Farris All of them |
acted perfectly and the judges had q |
task worthy the name in telling which |
was the prettiest. In first winning the |
title of the ugliest, the daughter rep |
by Miss Patterson brought |
in a counter-action in the plot that |
put life into the play. All of the girls |
did well.
Miss Campbell. Miss Keller and |
Miss Richmond were the three mai |
len friends of the late countess. and !
heir appearance brought forth the |
applause and laughter of the aud |
ence. They, TOO, acted in a praise |
worthy manner.
In giving the credit of the success
Of the entertainment to the patron
esses, it must be remembered that !
hey were Mrs. Veal Mrs Helmig

and faithfully on the play and their |
effort was crowned with complete |
