MENTAL SCIENCE LECTURE

Prof. Knox delivered his first lee
ture on Mental Science" in this city
last night at the Elks' opera house.
A fair sized audience was present, as
the lecture was free.
According to the professor, whose
lecture last night was entitled
Health, and How to Overcome Pow
erty and Accumulate Wealth." every
man, woman and child can have all
the riches they want, but the writer
was not able TO adequately grasp the
idea sufficiently TO wake up a million

However. the professor brought out
some very strong points in last nights
lecture. ITO gain wealth." ne said,
"One must quit the useless signing
fro riches and study himself, develop
his mind, and use his God.given tai

who goes after It by thinking. Man
must evolve his ideas from himself.
not some one else. Edison would
never have been a great inventor if
he had not evolved ideas from his own
mind. If you want to grow wealthy,

SPANISH CONCERT
WAS DELIGHTFUL

The Alexandra Rodriguez Spanish
Opera company. which opened a two
weeks engagement at Colombo hall
last night. rendered a very good class
of Spanish opera. The company has
been having all kinds of hard luck
here of late. After playing to poor
business for a couple of weeks, they
fell into El Paso just in time to have
all their scenery and the larger part
of their wardrobes burned up in a
fire which destroyed the house they

later, the treasurer in a moment of

that the scepery and costumes OF

hard luck, the company is very fair
An amusing feature OF last nights
performance in which the audience
figured was the fact that at the end
of the first half of the performance
several of the MEXICAN people who
were present arose and departed. The
American contingent of the audience,
thinking of course that the perform
ance was over, arose and departed
also and soon the hall was almost
empty, the Americans not learning un-
til today that there was more to the
show than the part they witnessed.
lnterspersed in the play of last
night, which bears the name OF "Chin-

Suicide Carefully Planned.
The old man had evidently made
all arrangements for the suiclue, as
he called upon j. c. Baldridge yester-
day morning and deposited with him
the keys to his home together with
S35 in money. This caused Mr.. Bald
ridge to become uneasy concerning
the old man, and when he failed to
call upon Mr.. Baldridge this morning,
the latter went to Somer's home about
II o'clock, making the gruesome dis
covery as related above.
Yesterday afternoon w. w Sleight,

at his home and chatted with him for
some time. During the conversation
Mr. Sleight states that the old man

Practices With Revolver.
Shortly after Mr.. Sleight left the
old man, he was seen by Mrs w, z.
Richter of AS South Fourth street,
and a lady roomer who live in the
house adjoining that occupied by
SOmers, out in the yard practicing
with his revolver These ladies state
that he seemed TO be hunting mice
as he would crouch down, peering
around an old pile Of lumber in one
part OF the yard and occasionally fire
the pistol.
This morning Charles Bonsall, who'

Confessed His Guilt.
Werner was placed under arrest
and locked up. He said that he had
purchased the camera from a Mexi.
can for SO, but later confessed TO the
burglary, Officer Hghbargin went
back TO the viaduct and found the
other two cameras. Later, Chief Nc
Millin and the policeman went to Yer
ner's ROOM opened his trunk, and re-
covered the remainder of the spoils,
which were brought to police head
quarters and identified by Mr.. Hous-
ton. Excepting two revolvers, every
thing was intact Werner was unable
to account for the two missing weap-
ons, but thinks he must have dropped
them in his flight from the police
man.
Chief McMillin found numerous car
penter tools in Verner's room. He
has formed the opinion that they
might be the ones which were stolen
few evenings ago at the new Ro-
nero block on First street. Werner
claims he bought them, however, his
occupation being that of a carpenter.
been in Albuquerque since the first of
last October. He is a native of Ger
many and talks English brokenly.
Before moving to the South Second
street boarding house, Werner said he
stopped at the Lindell and Majestic
rooming establishments. He worked
for several contractors. among them,
A. w. Hayden, G. Gustafson and the
Santa Fe railroad company. He was
discharged yesterday by Mr.. Gustaf-
son for ineff1ciency and claims that
being out of work prompted him to
turn burglar.
Probably other Stolen Goods.
Chief McMillin found half dozen
pawn tickets in Verner's effects,
which Werner explained were receipts
for articles he was purchasing on
time. He has one fine Winchester
rife in his room and pawnbroker's
tickets indi icate that he was buying a
Mauser pistol. 81 was planning 60

prisoner said:

longings; now, Mister, you will let
me off, won't you?"
"Oh, yes, you were so thoughtful
in bring all the stolen articles back"
jestingly interposed the chief, that it
would be an injustice to hold you

Had Bank Account.
Somers was in his seventy-second
year and was possessed of some prop
erty. Besides bank account of over
S2,5O0, he owned the several lots at
the corner of Fourth street and Coal
avenue, in addition to the house in
which he lived. He lived entirely by
himself and was of a very taciturn
disposition, making confidants of no
one and having very little to say. Mr..
Baldridge was probably the only man
who enjoyed his confidence.
When his effect in the house were
examined, but very little clothing was
found, and purse, lying on the table,
contained cheap ring, a chain and

His will, which he left with Mr..
Baldridge Tuesday, was examined
this afternoon by that gentleman. and
while its contents cannot be divulged
until after the will has been filed in
the probate court, enough was gatn-

that he was formerly of Barnett VIII

The above list of articles repre-
sents the booty secured by II. Werner,
a bold burglar. who broke into the
store of f. J. Houston on Gold ave-
nue., between 8 and o'clock last
evening, and who at $3.50 O'Clock the
same evening, but one-half hour after
the crime was committed, languished
in a cell in the Albuquerque city
prison.
Watched His Chance.
About o'clock last evening Werner
stood on the corner of Gold avenue
and Second street He was engaged
in watching the Houston store, ac-
cording to his confession to Chief Nc
Millin. AT about $50 o'clock the
store was closed for the night by w.
c. Ewing. Werner watched Mr.. Ew-
ing start for home, and he immedi-
ately circled into the alley. With a
chisel the burglar pried upon the rear
window in the store and climbed in
side. He selected six costly kodaks
and carrying them to the open win
dow, laid them outside in the alley,
while he placed a half dozen razors in
his pockets, together with six revol-
vers, two in each pocket of his coat.
Werner left the store undetected.
Picking up the kodaks he carried
them down the alley to the viaduct,
where he laid three Of them down un-
iii he could get to his room with the
other three. Werner hurried on
through the night and reached his
lodging place on South Second street
Highbargin a Sprinter.
Depositing the stolen articles in a
trunk, the culprt retraced his steps
to the viaduct. He picked up the
largest of the cameras, the one valued
at $40, by the way, and was walking
away with it, when Patrolman G. w.
Highbargin CHANGED to pass by. He
noticed Werner, and becoming suspi-
cious that the man was not all right,
starter after him. As soon as Yer
ner discovered he was being pursued
he started to run. So did officer
Highbargin. The policeman is a
heavyweight, but Werner soon discov.
cred that he was capable of going
some. The policeman commanded
the man to stop, but he ran all the
faster. II was tempted te shoot him, -
said Officer Highbargin, but refrain
ed from so doing. | finally chased
him into an alley near the Albuquer
que laundry on West Silver avenue
