The friction existing in the street de-
partmcnt did not diminish yesterday, al
though the outward evidences were not
SO conspicuous us on the two previous
days. Yesterday morning tho safe at

from tho room where 1t has been to
the Office of the city wcigher. where Mr..
Shceran has established headquarters.
Mr.. Clapp was there and no followed
the safe. lie was met by Mr.. shecran.
who ordered him out but Mr.. Clamp re.
fused to go and threats that he would
be thrown out werc made. However.
events did not get that far.
Mayor Burke was on hand yesterday
and issued orders to tho men employed
by the street department to obey the
commands Of Mfr. Sheeran and not to pay
any attention TO Mr.. Clapp. The mayor
said the men were all working under
Mr.. Shecrans direction and that work
was progressing satisfactorily. He said
that Mr.. Clapp had been ordered from
the Office and that he would be kept out.
He said he was not ordered out before
as it was thought he might reconsider
his determination to stay IL given time
and go of his own accord.

the possession of former Superintendent
Stevens and he does not propose to di-

have been audited by the city auditors
and Il clean settlement with the city

MIR. Clapp insisted that the mon in the
department were working under his or
dcrs and were paying no attention to the
orders given by Mayor Burke or Mr.
Sheeran He says he proposes TO hold the
job.
During the day Mayor Burke was seen
to start out from the superintende S
Office with a number Of men armed with
shovels and he stated that he was going
to repair q sidewalk that needed at
tention. 1t was suggested that perhaps
he intended to act as superintendent Of
streets himself until the question of who
is the real superintendent had been set
tied by law. A precedent for this action
was established by tho mayor himself
two years ago when he took charge of
the policemen at the time of the dispute

SETTLERS FOR ESTANCIA
Iowa Farmers Made Six Soldiers
Homestead Entries Monday
More Will Follow,

George w. Harbin, of Waterloo
Iowa, immigration agent and who is o.
work principally in the Estancia Val
ley, yesterday made a desert land en-
try upon 100 acres of land in town
ship north, range east, which has
been just opened for settlement in
Torrance County.
In addition to Mr.. Harbin, six sol
dier's homestead entries were made il
the same township by Iowa men who
come from the vicinities of Waterloo
and Algona and with whom Mr.
Hardin is we'll acquainted. Before
six months are over, it looks as il
there would be quite a colony of hardy
and experienced Iowa farmers in the
Estancia Valley.
In addition to the homestead en-
tries made above, there are several
citizens who live near Algona and
Waterloo, now on the road ia
New Mexico for the purpose of be.
coming permanent settlers in Torrance
County. Township 8 north, range ,
east, will also be opened for settle
ment and filing in the month of Jan
uary. 1t is believed that the town.
ship wherein the town of Estancia Is
located, will also be open for settle
ment about that time. This is toWn-

ORC QUAY GROUP SOLD
Mrs. Perry Gets $4,000 for the Prom.
erty From Company Recently
Organized.

Mrs. H. H. Perry, living at 44O Ger.

OF mines forty miles from Santa Fe
known as the Orc Quay Group, has
disposed of her holdings to M. M
berber, he acting as purchasing agent
lor an incorporated company known
as the Orc Quay Gold Mining Com.
pany, with Offices at 1876 Palace Ave.
nue., this city.
Mrs. Perry and her husband, now
deceased, have been owners of the ten
mines comprising the Orc Quay Group
since 1879, when they were first 10
Gated by her husband
1t is understood that the considera
tion named in the, deeds was $4,000
TO be paid at the rate of $1OO per
month, until the expiration of two
years when the entire sum, minus
that already paid was to be settled in
full, under contract of forfeiture.
The Orc Quay Gold Mining Com

Is the local agent, has been incorpor-
ated at $500,000, and it intends to de-

HUNTFOR DESPERADOES
Authorities of Torrance County Look
for Men Who Robbed Santa Fe
Central Agent.

Although there have been no new
developments in the holdup which took
place at Willard Station Sunday night
lat II o'clock, in which the Santa Fe
Central agent at that place was the
victim, S. B. Grimshaw, assistant TO
the president and general manager OF
the road, is on the scene, having gone
there by special train yesterday noon,
for the purpose of conducting the in
vestigation.
1t is thought that the robbers were
men who were perfectly familiar with
the habits Of the agent, and knew that
he would carry the funds received
during the day, home with him at
night. At present there is large
railroad camp at Willard, and while
no one is positively suspected it is
thought that in ali probability the rob
bers were either men who had been
working at the camp, or who had been
at the camp long enough to become
familiar with the habits of the agent
Mr.. Grimshaw is working in cooper
alton with the officers of Torrance
County and it is thought that the rob-
bers will eventually be run down, as
the agent secured fairly good de-
scription of the robbers, especially the
spokesman of the trio.

afterwards went to the Philippines
where he received the appointment to
and filed very creditably and very
satisfactorily an important position in
the revenue service. The Times says:
Further details Of one of the most
lfrghtful catastrophes which has oc'
cured to Philippine coast shipping
for years. are now on hand. TheSe
details were received this morning in
telegram from Collector Rafferty,
at Cebu to Commander Helm, chief
of the bureau Of coast defenses and
contained the report OF Captain Gus
Feis of the revenue cutter Mindoro,
who has been dispatched to the coast
of Samar to render all needed as
sistance to any vessels which might
have been shipwrecked during the re
cent typhoon.
"The details though meager, show
how appalling the loss OF life ms
| been. The names OF the passengers
| lost on the cutter Leyte have at last
become known and among them are
some of the best known and bravest
of the younger officers in the service
of the civil government. The te.e
