Mrs. May Wiegand Van Houten,
wife of John Van Houten, the general
manager of the Maxwell Land Grant
Company, and of the St. Louis, Rocky
Mountain & Pacific Railroad Company
is the first woman appointed to a
Territorial Office in the history of
New Mexico. She was commissioned
a member of the board of regents Of
The Miners Hospital, located at Ra-
ton, the county seat of ColfaX County,
ON the 21st day of June, 1906. Mrs
Van Houten is native of Kansas
and received her education in a girls
seminary in the city of Baltimore. At
In early date her parents moved to
Las Vegas, where her father engaged
n mining operations, these being for
many years in south Santa Fe County.
About eight years ago she was mar
ried to Mr.. Van Houten in Las Vegas.
Since that time her home has been
in the Gate City, where she is lead

and benevolent work. She is woman

will be what it ought to be in every

Two Wounds Instead OF One.
1t developed at the autopsy held
over the remains this morning that
there were two bullet wounds in the
body instead of one either one OF
which might have proved fatal. Both
bullets had entered the back and
were found lodged in the muscular
tissue on the opposite side. One en-
tered the back at two inches to the
right of the spine and on level with
the fifth rib. The rib was fractured
by the ball which was found imbedded
in the chest two and one-half inches
below the left nipple. The other bull
let hole was also on the right side
about four inches above the shoulder
blade near the neck. The bullet that
inflicted this wound was located In the
muscular tissue at the left side above
the heart.
The finding of the two bullet holes
was a complete surprise. At the cur
sorry examination of the body prior
to the inquest only one bullet wound
was discovered. The bullet hole
above the shoulder blade had been
concealed by the mans coat which
had been pulled up around the neck.
Three shots had evidently been fired
as there were three exploded cart
ridges in the revolver with which the
shooting was done The statement
yesterday that there was only one
empty cartridge was made on the au-
thority of Justice Garcia. The post
mortem examination was held at the
undertaking room of Dudrow and
Montenie. Doctors David Knapp and
j. M. Diaz, probed for the bullets,
which are of the same caliber as the
pistol.
The remains of the murdered man
will be buried tomorrow morning.
The self-confessed murderer has
previously borne a good reputation
and people who have known him for
many years are reluctant to believe
that he would have committed such
a horrible crime II Of sane mind. They
are charitably inclined and attribute
1t to the deed Of a mad man.
