There are 1900 acres planted to
beets in this county. At the begin
ming of the season the price set by
the growers association was $3.50
per acre for thinning. This would
make an outlay of so, 800 for thin
ming. But many growers became
impatient and were in such hurry
to have their beets thinned that
prices were advanced until some
paid as much as $40 an acre. A fair
estimate of the average price for
the entire acreage is $50 or S22,-
500, difference of $1,000 in favor
of the gentlemen from Mexico who
did most of the thinning. Bent

Sehidiofski Eiectroeutsd.

John Schidlofski, the Lithunian
wife murderer of Brockton, Mass,
who was captured in La Junta by
Sheriff Barr. Sunday morning, July
l6, 1905, was electrocuted at the
states prison at Charleston, Mass,
last Sunday morning.
The execution was unattended by
sensational features. Schidlofski
was in weak condition before he
left the death house and had to be
assisted to the electric chair. He
was assisted on one side by prison
guard and on the other by the
prison chaplain. He was in a state
bordering on complete collapse. and
his knees shook under him, but he
uttered no sound other than a pro-
tracted moan.
When he was placed in the chair
and during the adjustment of the
straps he moaned continually. When
the current was applied the body of
the murderer sprang forward against
the straps. The current was kept
turned on to its greatest intensity
of 800 volts and then gradually
decreased, and at the end of five
minutes Schidlofski was officially
declared dead.
In the opinion of medical attend
ants and prison officials the execu-
ton was the most successful that
has ever taken place at Charleston.
Whereas, in previous EXECUTIONS,
two or three different applications
of the current have been necessary,
only one application was made in
Schidlofski's case.
The crime for which Schidlofski
was electrocuted was the murder Of
his wife at South Braintree, Mass. a
suburb Of Boston. July II, 1905. 1t
was their wedding day, and they
were about to start for California
to locate. They had purchased two
tickets for California, but before
leaving had a quarrel. Schidlofski
claiming that his wife had lied to
him about her age and the amount
Of money she had. He hit her over
the head with a rock and cut her
throat with a penknife. Schidlof-
ski then sold his wife's ticket and
left for California. Three days
later he was captured in La Junta
by Sheriff Barr. being . passenger

and readily confessed to the mur.

March, Sheriff Barr being one of
the star witnesses.

j. B. Pearce, clerk of the district
court at La Junta, who is in this

has been filling up with people so
rapidly during the past few years
that it seems like new country. In

ally noticeable, and he states that at
the next election Otero county will
poll 10000 votes, nearly 5000 more
than We're polled at any previous
election.
La Junta. since the construction
of the new Santa Fe shops, has
greatly increased its population,
while in the sugar beet sections of
the county the growth has been
still greater. Pueblo Post.
