Giving Rebates to Shippers.

rebates to Bremond, Martin and 9TH
ers, and unlawfully discriminate in
respect to the transportation of their
property, over other shippers of the
of the same class of property and
wool
The indictment is signed by E. L.
Medler, assistant United States At
torney for the Territory of New
Mexico, and endorsed true bill, by
Robert NJ. Love- Foreman of the
Grand Jury
The officials of. the Court refuse
to state from whence came the
charge and who brought it before
the Grand Jury, but it is known that
the following were witnesses before
the Grand Jury: Andrew J. Hill, Al
D. Garrett, c. L.. Stone, William A.
Bryant, Clark A. Baker, Harold Hurd
and Charles Bremond
This indictment is the first brought
in New Mexico under the 'Elkins
Act" but during the last few months
many such indictments have been
brought in other sections of the coun-
try. The penalty provided by the
act imposes a fire of not less than
$1,000 nor more tnan $4,000, at the
discretion of the Court.
Both Charles Bremond and c. G..
Martin range and shear their sheep
from forty to seventy-five miles west
and northwest of Roswell, and not a
i
Line, and it is understood that they
had made some shipments over that
line, and it would probably require
some persuasion to induce them to
transport their wool to Roswell and
ship over the Santa Fe. Both Mr..
Bremond and Mr.. Martin are promi-
nent wool growers and Sneepmen,
and have made successes of their
business
