A. c. GARCIA DROWNED.
The Eldest Son of Sheriff ]. A.
Garcia Meets Death in
the Chama River.

The career of one Of Conejos
county's most promising young
men was brought to tragic end
last Saturday evening when Alex
ander G. Garcia. eldest son of Sher-
if j. A. Garcia. was drowned while
attempting to cross the Chama
river on horseback. Just how the
accident occurred will never be
known as there were no witnesses.
but it is presumed that his horse
was unable to cope with the waters
of the raging torrent and that he
was washed down stream. to escape
only after being freed from the
weight of his rider. The horse re-
turned to camp the next morning
and gave the first alarm of what
proved to be so sad and distressing
an accident. 1t was past noon
when the body was found lodged
against bunch of willows in the
Chama river, near the mouth of
Wolf creek. and 2:30 Monday
morning before Sheriff Garcia sue
ceeded in getting it home.
Alexander, assisted by half
dozen herders, had taken several
thousand of his fathers ewes to
the summer range along the Chama
river and wishing to cross them to
Che other side he started out that
evening to locate the most desir-
able place to bridge the stream.
He made the first ford in safety
and the hertlers attached no i'm
portance to his failure to return
that evening, thinking he had de-
cided to spend the night at a camp
on the other side, but when his
horse, saddled and bridled. came in
the next morning they feared he
had met with terrible accident.
W ltttlS Ntlt llltNt W Htll
the searching party found his life
less body in the river that after
noon.
Reared under the watchful eye of
a fond and indulgent father. high
ly educated and possessing every
accomplishment that money and
earnest application would procure,
Alexander Garcia was young
nan of exceptional ability for
whom the future promised much.
He was big. handsome, kind
hearted fellow. who was honored
and admired by every one with
whom he came in contact and his
friends We're numbered by the

She was on the point of yielding. The
words trembled on her lips which would
set Karl free; but the denouement came
in a fashion which neither expected.

Generally speaking. its eastern coast-line

This is so greatly true that it is not un-

torn apart: that when some great cata-
clysm occurred where the bed of the
Pacific now IS the newly formed crust of
the earth was so torn apart and shifted
that the rent formed the bed of the
