Just before the Chieftain goes

for the arrest of Messrs. Melton
and Anastacio Torres on the
charge of libel against Hon.
Frank w. Parker, Associate
Justice for this judicial district.
The action is brought by Dis
trict Attorney Elfego Bacq and
is based on a clause of an article in
Yesterdays issue of El Defensor
del Pueblo, which clause says in
effect that if the Chieftain is
scandalized by the sentences of
the court, it ought to seek
information from the lawyers, the
Judge, etc, and il will he

IN HONOR OF HON.
FRANK W.PARKER
Grand Ball Given in Garcia Opera House BY Mem
bers of the Bar and Court Officials Was Attended
by no Less than Two Hundred and Fifty People.

As sincere and fitting tribute
10 Hon. Frank W. Parker. who
has Just closed one of the most
successful and in all respects
satisfactory terms of district
court held in Socorro county for
many years, a ball was given in
that gentleman's honor in the
Garcia opera house Thursday
evening by the members of the
bar and the court officials. The
ball was under the general direc-
ton of District Attorney Elfego
Baca, and that Mr.. Baca acquit-
ted himself we'll is atteSted by the
fact that the ball is conceded by
everybody TO have been the crown
ing event of the social season.
No feature of such an entertain
ment that could contribute TO the
comfort or the enjoyment of the
ESQ guests present was omitted
and no matter of detail was
neglected. The decorations of
the hall attested the we'll known
skill of Mrs. w. f. Martin, and
never did an exercise of Mrs.
Martins artistic taste show to
better advantage. The music was
excellent and the refreshments
were all that could be desired. In
short, everything possible was
done to make the ball a grand

criminals, not by the verdicts of
juries but by other means with
which the partisan Chieftain is
well acquainted. The words of
the Defensor are as follows: Isl

The article referred to did not
meet the editors attention until
just before the Chieftain goes to
press. 1t will be commented up

BRONCO SSTRANGE MISHAp
A Finger Bitten Off by an Enraged
Horse rs il with a Surgeons
Knife.

San Marcial had celebration
of the Fourth of July that was
well worth witnessing. There
was music and dancing, baseball.
fireworks, races, bronco busting.
etc, etc, all of which our home
people and also a good many Wis.,
itors enjoyed very much.
John Greenwald and sister
Estelle were here the Fourth and
left for home the morning of the
fifth.
Miss Edna Hammel of Socorro
spent the Fourth and fifth here
at the home OF Mrs. Guy Lewis,
formerly of Socorro.
Several Socorro people spent
the merry two days in San Mar
cial.
Connie Hilton of San Marcial
spent three merry days in San
Marcial enjoying all the sports
that were on the programme
during the day and had the great
opportunity of playing in the
orchestra for the dances both
nights, the Fourth and fifth,
which was very much enjoyed
by all who danced to his music.
Miles Darr met with quite a
serious accident yesterday in hav-
ing a hand badly cut up and
losing a finger. In the bronco
busting contest Darr had a pref
ty tough horse to ride. In try
ing to mount he had what he
thought was good hold on one
OF the horses ears, but when the
animal reared and raised its
head Miles lost his hold. His
hand slipped down the horses
face into its mouth, and a finger
was bitten off by the angry ami
NAL so suddenly that the owner
did not notice the loss. Some
body suggested that there was
finger lying on the ground, and
medical attention was Immediate
ly given by DR.. Hackney.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
The Day was Celebrated in socorro
with the Usual Sports but With
out Serious Accident.

The Glorious Fourth was
celebrated in Socorro with the
usual amuSements and sports but
fortunately without single
accident. The San Antonio
Military Band gave free concerts
during the day in the plaza and
furnished the music in the even
ing at very successful ball in
the opera house. There was a
game of ball and various other
sports in the afternoon down
near the second ward school
building. The day was very
nationally and very pleasantly
spent. The credit for the celebra-
tion was due to the enterprise of
Ramon Olguin, who did not
undertake to raise funds for the
purpose until day or two before
the Fourth.

more work done in the Mogollon

Canuto Carrillo Will Wear Stripes
for Crime of Murder.
Judge Parker this week SEN
fenced three men for the crime
of murder.
Escolastico Tais was Senten-
ced to be hanged July % for COM
plicity i'll the murder of Mrs.
Petra Sanchez de Torres in San
Marcial last December. Accord
ing to the evidence, Tais stood
over David Cuellar with a pistol
and threatened him with instant
death if he failed to stab the
victim 10 death. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court, and
TaiS will be confined in the PEN
itentiary pending the action of
that tribunal.
David Cuellar was sentenced
to 90 years in the penitentiary for
his part in the above crime. He
pleaded guilty to murder in the
second degree, telling on the
witness stand how he stabbed
and slashed his aged victim until
life was extinct.
Canuto Carrillo was sentenced
to 25 years in the penitentiary
for the murder of Epimenio Car
cia in Magdalena in March of
1904. Carrillo shot his unarmed
victim to death at the door of
Hilton's saloon, the act being the
sequel of some former quarrel
Thus, il is hoped, ends three
criminal careers. The conviction
and punishment of these criminals
will without doubt have a whole
some effect upon the criminally
disposed of Socorro county.

Gloves

But one glove is considered
stylish this Spring, which is
the outseam glove with cape
$ t o c k, sometimes wrongly
called dogskins. Every size is in
our line from Z to l04.
Cape gloves are made from
a small Patagonian goat which
has strong tough hide that is
capable of being finished beau
tifully smooth. 1t wears ex-
tremely well, better in fact
than the SKIN of any other ami
NAL.
The G EN- UIN Z CAPE
GLOVE is here at $3.50.
We have limitations also
which cannot be told from the
genuine except in wearing at
$1.00.
These limitations are sold in
many stores as the genuine
cape for $3.50.
Let us show you the two
kinds and advise you how to
tell the difference.

ate of Rev DR. c. w. Rowley who has
had such successful year among us.
The people feared that he would be
appointed presiding elder of Burling-
ton district. At one of the most har-
monious caucuses ever held by the
preachers of the district, DR. Rowley
received at least two-thirds of the votes
OF The preachers on the first ballot and
then it was made unanimous and
committee carried the result TO the
bishop. But in the final closing up of
things in order to place certain men
and because Of other influences which
It is not necessary to explain, the act
of the district was over ridden and p.
l.. Dow of Troy was appointed.
Mr. Dow will make an admirable pre-
siding elder and DR. Rowley states that
he is more than happy that he can
stay in Bennington. He also states
that he never for q moment expected
at the result would be different from
what it is and so told his people.
He strongly declares that all the re
ports of any irregularities or conten-
tions connected with the meeting at
which the vote was taken are absolute
ly false. II was one Of The most har-
monious of meetings. The church
here ana their pastor are in perfect
harmony and successful year is an
