BOHEMIAN COLONY TO SOCORRO.
Max Kirchman of Chicago Visits the Gem City in
the Interest of His Countrymen and Issues Stir
ing Invitation to them to Come Here to Locate.

MIR. Max kirchman, a promi-
nent Bohemian citizen of Chica-
go, came to New Mexico some
time ago looking for a suitable
location for a colony of his fell
low countrymen. During Mr..
kirchman's stay of two or three
weeks in Socorro he has written
many columns of matter deScrip-
tive OF the city and vicinity to
papers published in the Bohem-
ian language in Chicago and
elsewhere, and the writer closes
his series of articles with an elo-
quent and stirring invitation to
his Bohemian brethren to come
to Socorro and vicinity and locate.
MIR. kirchman'S articles have
been read by not less than two
hundred thousand of his coun-
trymen in various parts of the
United States and will doubtless
be the means of inducing many
of those thrifty and energetic
people to become citizens of So
corro county. In behalf of So
corro county, the Chieftain bids
them a hearty welcome.
The final article of Mr.. Kirch-
mans series is as follows:
Fellow Countrymen:
When you left your homes in
our dear country, no matter for
what reasons, and while nearing
the shores of this free land of
liberty, every one of you had a
wish, no matter how deeply con-
cealed, to better your and your
dear ones conditions. Some of
you have succeeded, others, per-
haps, have failed. 1t would be
out of place to here remember
the causes of failure. Let us for
get them. To every disappoint-
ed being there always remains a
guide, the brightest star of this
universe Hope. Hope means
new life. Energy. coupled with
perseverance, begets success,
though the road be ever so thor
ny.
Never rest by merely wishing.
Wishes not backed up by action
are of no avail. Contentment is
the mother of happiness, while
dissatisfaction is often the father
of invention, bearing the fruit of
pleasure.
TO you who are discontented
| do here appeal (others may fol-
low and | do wish my voice
were so powerful that you might
all hear il. No matter where
YOU are, you can all better your
conditions by moving to New
Mexico, the promised land for us

A. ii. Hilton, one of San An
tonio's stirring business men, ac-
cording to the report of j. IL.
Stahl, who visited San Antonio
yesterday, is installing a 50, 700
irrigation plant. The principal
feature of the plant is an S-inch
centrifugal pump with which
water will be taken from a we'll
thirteen feet in diameter in the
river bottom. Mr.. Hilton ex-
poets to irrigate 100 acres by this
means. The Chieftain has long
advocated irrigation on this plan
and will therefore await the re-
suit of Mr.. Hilton'S enterprise
with great interest and will be
careful to report that result for
the benefit of its readers.

Communicated.

Magdalena, n. NJ, Sept. 80.
Editor Chieftain:
1t is puzzling to note the in
terest some people take in other
peoples business, or, at least,
how prominently they figure in
circulating false reports.
A few weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. w. Medley were called to
Roswell To the bedside of their
little niece, who was very danger
ously i'll. II very unexpectedly
happened that while they were
away a little grand daughter ar
rived. The following are some
of the remarks that greeted them
on their return to Magdalena:
why, you have been to the fair,
ehY and Your daughter at
home sick and we were surprised
at your being absent on such an
OCCASION" | have heard numer-
Gus other remarks to the same
effect.
Now, people are going entire
ly out of their line of business in
doing this. and most certainly
are they meddling when the re-
ports are grossly false and I'm
sure their friends will think fully
as much of them if they look
about their own affairs and let
other peoples business alone.
Yours very truly,
"VoRDRNBAUM. "

CONVICTS MAKE DARING
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
James Scott, United States Convict,
and Accomplices Saw Through
Bars of Kitchen Window at
Territorial Penitentiary.

Territorial Penitentiary.
The vigilance of one of the
outer guards at the territorial
penitentiary at Santa Fe is all
that prevented a wholesale de-
livery there early Wednesday
morning.
Several prisoners, who were
employed in the kitchen at the
penitentiary, had formed plot
tn escape. They were under the
leadership OF James Scott, a fed
eral prisoner sent up for a sem
tence of six years for forgery
and who has yet five years of his
sentence to serve. In some man
ner they had made a saw out of
case knife and with this they
sawed out several bars to a large
window in the kitchen.
Early Yesterday morning when
the prisoners started for break
fast, Scott stepped out of the
line unknown to the guards and
climbed through the window and
dropped into the Jail yard below.
No sooner had he reached the
ground than he was called upon
by a guard to throw up his hands
aud surrender, which he did.
Scott's accomplices seeing the
grief that had come to their fell
low prisoner made no attempt to
escape, and thus did not give
themselves away.
This is the third attempt to
escape that has been made at the
penitentiary within the past
year, but none have been success
full.
