HIS TANGLED TRAIL
By Cora Laphsm Hazard

By Cora Lapham Hazard
So very human is queer human nature,
In midst of heart thrills " do watch for pangs,
And for the serpent search small Eden,
Expectant of the poison of his fangs
Though may find no trace of hidden serpent,
Der all our joy there lies his fancied trail.
Each moment in path we fear to see him,
His horrid length appearing his tail.
Why not each one enjoy his small Eden
Right gratefully, without fear care;
Imagination oft does serpents conjure
OF nothing more substantial than of air.

FALL OF BRIDGE
CARPENTERS FATAL
Richard Rogers and Lloyd
Phelps SuCCumb to In
iurleS at Hospital.
PHELPS PARENTS ARE WEALTHY

After lying unconscious for over
thirty-six hours, Richard Rogers and
Lloyd Phelps. the two bridge carpen-
ters employed on the Zuni Mountain
railway, who fell from a bridge near
Ketner, on Wednesday afternoon, into
a rocky canyon many feet below, are
dead. The men were brought to this
city yesterday morning and taken TO
st. Joseph's hospital. No hope was
held out for their recovery by DR.. NJ.
X. Wylder, as both men were terribly
injured, their skulls having been
crushed and their bodies one mass OF
cuts and bruises.
Both men We're unconscious from
the time they were picked up at the
bottom of the canyon until death re-
lieyed them of their suifeTings. Rogers
expired at IL o'clock last night and
Phelps died this morning at { o'clock.
That the men lived as long as they
did is nothing short of marvellous as
their injuries were enough to have
caused instant death.
The bodies have been taken in
charge by o. w. Strong's Sons, under
takers, who have embalmed the re-
mains and are holding them pending
instructions from relatives, Rogers
leaves a family at Sulphur Springs,
in the Jemez country and they have
been notified of his death.
Little was at first known of Phelps.
as he was a "ioater" n blew into
the construction camp several weeks
ago and went to work, but il is now
a~scertained that he was the son Of
wealthy people of Montague, Mich.
and had run away from home. His
parents have been notified by tele
graph of his death and 1t is very
probable that his body will be shipped
home for burial.

INDIAN MEDICINE MAN Is
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
RECEIVES MORTAL WOUND IN
ABDOMEN FROM GUN IN THE
HAND OF A YOUNG BUCK, AND
DEATH CREATES MUCH EN-
CITEMENT.

There is much weeping and Wdl.lng
in the Picuris Indian pueblo i'm Taos
county. On Monday, during the an
nual fiesta i'm the pueblo, and while
a great deal of iudiscriminate shoot
ing OF fire arms was being INDUCED in,
Antonio Maria Vargas, medicine man
and a leading member of the tribe,
was accidentally shot i'm the abdomen
by Antonio Martinez, a young buck,
and a graduate of the Calisle indian
school, of Carlisle, Pa. The wound
caused almost instant death.
Immediately the rejoicing was turn
ed into mourning, and the death OF
the medicine man caused great eN'
element. That the shooting was
purely accidental, there seems little
doubt, as the Picuris are a peaceable
people and there was no drunkenness
at the fiesta. A peculiar coincidence
Is that only three years ago during a
similar occasion, a brother OF the
dead medicine man was killed in al
most the same manner.
superintendent Clinton J.. Crauda.l
of the United States Indian school al
Santa Fe, who has supervision oyel
this pueblo. has ordered /, W. Dryer
farmer at the Taos pueblo, 10 proceed
10 PicurIs and investigate the shoot
ing. and until Mr.. Dryers return full
particulars will not be ~obtainable.
