row.

Governor Herbert j. Hagerman TO-
day received telegram from United
States Marshal Frederick Fornoif. at
Prescott, Arizona, saying that ne
would return to Santa Fe tomorrow.
Deputy Fornoff has been making an
investigation of the confession made
by Frank Bell, in Jail at Prescott, Ia
which he asserts that he killed Colonel
!. Francisco Chaves, at Pinos Wells.
in November, 1904. The telegram gave
no report as to the results OF the In
vestigation. Governor Hagerman said
that he was in doubt as to what Form
off really thought Of the case and
would be unable to say anything re-
garding it until he had talked with
the deputy. He said that he would
not take immediate action to have
Bell brought to New Mexico If such
action were warranted by Fornoif's re-
port. Various reports received from
Prescott say that Bell is mentally un'
u,
use of liquors, and made the confession
while intoxicated.
mo wonder I'm puzzled said Gov
ernor Hagerman
Fornoff Talks.
A dispatch from albuquerque today
says that Deputy Fornoff has reached
that city and declares that Bell is in
sane and was undoubtedly in that con
dition at the time he made the con
fession. Whether or not the man ac
tually committed the crime and then
became crazy from brooding over the
affair is not known. That is why Bell
is still held a prisoner at Prescott un
til further Investigations can be made.

The rear part of the adobe building
occupied by J. Fl. Blain, proprietor OF
a second hand store on lower San
Francisco Street, collapsed this morn
ing and fell to the street. Fortunately
there was no one passing along the
sidewalk at the time, and the adobes
piled up in heap without injuring
anyone. Mr.. Blain had removed all
valuable merchandise from this part
of the building some time ago, conse-
Quently his loss was but slight The
building owned by William M. Ber-
ger on Don Gaspar Avenue, is also
in a crippled condition, portion of
the rear wall on the second floor hav-
ing fallen in some time ago. There
are a number of ancient adobe build
ings In the city that are menace to

SHEEP VALUES HIGH.
Walter M. Tabor Found None to Pur
chase in Estancia Valley--Good
Prices Refused.

Walter M. Taber manager OF the
Glorieta Mercantile and Live Stock
Company, spent Tuesday and Wednes
day in the Estancia Valley on the
lookout to purchase several thousand
sheep for his company. He found
prices very high.
William Fraser has about ten thou
sand ewes and lambs for sale and was
offered 81 per head all around a few
DAYS ago but declined the offer. Mr.
Taber says that he was familiar with
the Estanca Valley ten years ago and
he is sure that in the section between
Moriarty and Willard and on the
plains, there were not fifty inhabitants
On his present trip, 1t looked to him
like Kansas. There were windmllls
in every direction, houses going up
and quarter sections for miles We're
occupied by homesteaders.
The stockmen had good winter,
although there were losses of weak
and underfed sheep, as we'll as of ami.
mails of inferior grade The well bred
animals that were well cared for,
passed through the cold winter very
satisfactorily and the deaths from cold
or weakness among these were very
few.
The homesteaders seem to be espe'
cially plentiful In the stretch Of country
between Estancia and Mcintosh, a dis
lance of 20 miles. They seem to
stretch for three or four miles east
and west of the line of the Santa Fe
Central Railway. The sheep N the
Estancia Valley, he says, were In good
condition. There are also many cattle
and these looked to be in prime shape
Mr.. Taber is anxious to purchase al
few thousand head of sheep and people
having such TO sell will do well to call
upon him at his residence in this city.

paper men, at least once, and to set

"She would not do it tonight, but
she may give out statement tomor-

Miner said the reason Mrs. Yerkes
denied the marriage was because she

The New Mexican is of the opinion
that it is not yet too late to secure
the location of the school for this city.
The letter reads:
January 18th. 1906.
My Dear Miss Dissette.
You not only did not influence US
in the least in changing our plans for
the location Of the Mary James
School," but the fact of your own
choice of Santa Fe for a permanent
home, would be in favor Of Santa Fe
I can tell you very simply and clearly
the reasons for the change.
We had been led to believe that the
site for the school would cost us moth.
ing.
When we came to find that for such
land as we must have to teach the
boys farming. we must pay $4,000. we
naturally turned to our school at AL
buquerque, two and half miles from
the city, where we have land and
plenty of water for Irrigation.
We should deserve the censure OF
our constituents If we did not econo
mi2e our. funds
As to the contributions from Santa
Fe. which we are accused Of obtaining
under false pretenses, they amount ia
all to just $25 and the donors can have
their gifts by applying for the same.
Let those who malign US present
US with a suitable site and see how
quickly we shall decide to build there.
Very cordially your friend.

with lead pencil, and said:
You kin jest take yer grip right up

hotel man exclaimed:

COL. w. F. SwITZLER DEAD.
ism," Historian and States
man, Aged 81 Years.

Columbia, Mo.-COl. William F.
Switzler, aged 81 years, known as the
''Nestor of Missouri Journalism" his
torian and statesman, died here Thurs
day morning at $3.50 o'clock. His
three children were at his bedside.
Col. Switzler, despite his advanced
age, was vitality interested in all pub
lie questions until he was stricken about
a week ago with the illness to which
he succumbed. He was actively en-
gagged in writing on many historical
subjects.
The last three years he was not en-
gagged in newspaper work beyond oc-
casionally assisting in the publication
of the Columbia Statesman, which he
sold to his son, the paper later passed
into the hands of William Hirth
Col. SwitZler was an author of
comprehensive history of Missouri and
a history of Boone county, besides nu-
merous other shorter works on matters
Of Missouri history. His latest work
was history of the University of
Missouri. 1t was the greatest ambi-
ton of Col. Switzler's latest years to
see his work in published form He
died just before the probable consum-
nation of his desire. He leaves the
history complete with the exception of
one date which his family say they are
unable to supply. 1t is thought that
his determination to finish the his
tory alone kept him alive.
