NEW MEXICO LAWYER
IN THE LIME LIGHT
ATTORNEY II. L. ORTIZ, OF SANTA
FEE, WORKING TO FREE A MAN
SERVING NINETY-NINE YEARS
IN COLORADO STATE URISON.

Attorney H. l.. Ortiz, of Santa Fe,
one of the best known native lawyers
of New Mexico. lis gaining considera-
BILE notoriety just at present. MI.
Ortiz is at Denver, where ne is arguing
before the Colorado state board OF
-pardons for the release of Noises
Freystas, sent up from Trinidad sew
eral years ago, to serve a term OF
ninety-nine years in the Canon City
p~enitentiary for the mnrder of two
prospectors named Kelly and Green.
In arguing before the board of par
dons, Mr.. Ortiz says he can establish
the fact that the death of Kelly and
Green has never been proven. Mr.. Or
tiz says that Freystas was forced to
confess to a crime he never commit
ted, by intimidation and duress, and
while a mob was co~ngregated around
the Jail at Trinidad threatening TO
lynch him, the district attorney told
him that the mob would kill him If he
did not confess, and that while thus
frightened he admitted committing a
! crime of which he was neve guilty,
| and did not even know about.
The Denver Post of last Sunday,
! printed a long story about the case
| and Mr.. Ortiz, in which it speaks OF
the attorney as being the scion OF the
| old house of Ortiz, a leader in demo
cratic politics of the territory n a
leading lawyer of New Mexico. Ac'
companying the story is a cut of the
attorney.

CUNNINGHAM AFTER
SANTA FE CENTRAL
Receiver of Enterprise Bank
Says That Road Officials
Must Produce
OR ACCEPT RECElvERSHlP

A dispatch dated from Pittsburg,
saws that unless the Santa Fe Central
railroad company is able within a
short time to raise the money to pay
off the loans made from he wrecked
Enterprise National bank, Receiver
John b. Cunningham will go into the
courts of New Mexico and ask for a re-
eeiver for the railroad. This course
has been decided upon by the govern
ment officials in charge of the nves-
tigation. The railroad company will
not be given longer than this week to
pay the obligations.
lust how much the bank holds has
not been made public, but it is a large
amount. 1t is understood every effort
was made last week to raise the
money. w. H. Andrews, Senator Ar
thur Kennedy, Francis Torrance and
the late T. Lee Clarke were back OF
the Santa Fe Central. and the failure
of the Santa Fe system to take over
the Santa Fe Central precipitated the
suicide of Clarke and the closing of the
bank. Kennedy is now in New YORK,
it is said. trying to sell the road.
Judge F. F. Oldham, the legal rep
resentative of Comptroller Ridgeley,
says the bank shortage will be much
in excess of 81 ,500, 900 and will reach
possibly 81, 200, 900.

STREET COMMISSIONER TlERNEY
HAS STRENUOUS DAY OF 1T
RAIN HAS PUT STREETS IN DE-
PLoRABLE CONDITION ALL
OVER THE CITY AND MEANS
MUCH WORK.

The rain of last night and today has
turned the streets of Albuquerque INTO
a veritable sea of mud and the dam
age done will require many days to
repair. Early this morning Street
Commissioner Tierney donned his
"slicker'' and mastering together a
large force of laborers commenced TO
try and cope with the difficult work
before him..
A number of teams and men were
first put to work hauling gravel and
constructing cross walks throughout
the business and residence districts Of
the city. 1t was necessary to use
gravel for building the crossings as
the supply of cinders was exhausted
after the rain of last week. These
cross walks served as a boon to the
unfortunate pedestrian who was fore
ed to do much walking today.
Temporary cutters and drain ditches
were constructed to carry off the wa
ter accommodating in the streets, and
although these did not furnish relief
to a great extent they materially i'm
proved the situation.
Such rains as the one today dem
onstrates in a startling manner the
need for immediate action on the part
OF the city council in providing for
the establishment of a system of OF
fetal grades and the paving of the
streets, material for which abounds In
abundance within the limits of the
city.

que in order that she may prosecute
him for wife desertion.
The couple after coming to Aibu-
querque took rooms at The Elite
rooming house on Silver Ev-
erything went along smoothly until
yesterday. In the morning Mr.. La
Pratt left the house, but nothing more
was thought of it until he failed to
show up for dinner or for supper. His
wife then suspected the real truth
that her husband had left her and
departed for parts unknown.
The matter was placed in the hands
of Chief McMillin. He investigated
and according to the woman's story,
is of the opinion that the fleeing hus-
band is in Kansas City by this time,
as it has been ascertained that he
bought a ticket for that point at the
local ticket office yesterday morning.
This case is about the sixteenth one
in which the services of Chief McMil-
lin have been sought.

MAY MEAN P%OSTOfflCE
FOR AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

An effort is being made to have a
p~ostofice established at the New Mex
leo Agricultural and Mechanic Arts
college, and Prof j. o. Miller, one of
the faculty of the institution, has
been recommended for postmaster.
The strong argument in favor of an
office at the college is that it is a gov
eminent experimental station, and
that there is a large amount OF
frank" matter, in the way of pamph-
lets sent out from it; that the mail
ing of this matter would be greatly
facilitated by an Office at the college;
that it would also be of great accom-
mediation to the large number of stu
dents attending the college, which is a
distance Of over a mile from the post
Office at Mesilla Park.

Every day almost, people go Into the Hampson-Sellew store and are sur prised at the metropolitan appearance Of that establishment. Last night, visitors from Naugatuck were in the store and were astonished at the large selection that was offered to them. Out of town shipments are constantly being made to people who have either bought goods before from the Hamp- son-Scllew Go or whose friends have made satisfactory purchases and found that they can do little better in Wa. terhury than in other places. If you wish to send any furniture out of town. or have friends visiting from out of town, be sure and take them into Conn"cticut's largest and best furniture store. and remember that the Hampson-Sellew people pack their goods free of charge and nay the freight to all points east of Chicago.

FIRE AND SMOKE.
Drove Twenty Families Out In Cold Clothed in
 Night Garments.

New York, Feb 3-Twenty families were driven from their homes ill their night clothes. two tiremen were o>er- come by smoke and rescued with great difficulty and one girl is thought to have perlshed in fire which ue- stroyed a five story apartment house ill the Blonx. early today.
 Nearly all the occupants of the house lost their furniture and person. al effects.
 Four alarms were sent in, and the entire available fire department of the Bronx and upper Manhattan was called into action before the fire was got under control. For time it seem ed that the whole block of flat houses and stores would be burned.
 When a policeman discovered the flames and sent an alarm through the house the flames were spreading rapid ly and many of the remnants scarcely had time to escape in their night clothing. By the time the engines ar rived the entire building was in flames and all the efforts of the firemen were concentrated upon the task of saving the adjoining houses. which in the meantime, had emptied into the streets their shivering and half clad population.
 The half frozen crowd of men, wo- men and children found shelter in neighboring houses and stores but many suffered severely from exposure. The loss is about $35,000 on the build ing.

New York, Feb 3-Although the zero weather promised in yesterday $ forecast from the weather bureau did not come to-day, this morning was one of the cOldeSt of the winter. If the cold snap continues for a few days traffic in the harbor may be tied up by the drifting masses of ice which are coming down the Hudson river in huge foes. The movements of harbor craft were badly hampered today and only powerful steam craft could force tleir way through the fields of floating ice composed of foes broken from the ice sheet over the Hudson river and of thick new ice formed in the harbor last night Ferry lines were much de layed or altogether tied up. Long Island sound for several miles east of Hell Gate is packed with ice. Nothing was able to navigate but steam vessels and they made slow progress. Sailing vessels are practically frozen in. A change of wind would blow the ice out into the sound and clear the chan nel was hoped for. Many persons suffered from intense cold. Louis Brown, a Griver was found frozen fast to the seat of his four horse truck, un- conscious and apparently dying with four big draft horses shivering in the biting wind. It is believed that he was overcome by tie cold some hours before he was found.
