Buys More Ewes.

NJ. B. Atkinson, one of our genial
Shespman here has recently closed a deal
whereby he obtains from Joe Simpson,
abont two thousand WelI-bred ewes, which
he will add to his large herds. Mr.. Atkin-
son has been quite successful in the sheep
business recently, largely on account of
his carefuIness in looking after the de-
tails and not leaving same to others. He
received top.n1tch price for last years S
wool clip, that of twenty-five cents per
pound. This is as high as we have heard
of any having been sold for in this part
of the valley. Mr.. Atkinson runs his
sheep near Corona.

Killed at Willard.

Charles W. Darnell, we'll known
sheepman of Fort Collins, COL, was run
over and instantly killed by an Atchis-
on, Topeka&Santa Fe train at Willard
Wednesday afternoon about 2 o'clock.
In company with Eduardo Chaves and
e. E. Emerson, other sheepmen, Darnell
was walking west on the main line of
the road when train No, l, backing up,
ran him down. The passenger train from
Belen had just come in, ana was moving
eastward on the second track, and it is
supposed the movement of this train
deadened the noise of the approaching
train, or confused him. His compan.
ions saw the train bearing down upon
them, and stepped off in time to escape
injury. Darnell was thrown down and
rol ed under the cars for distsnce of
100 feet before the train was stopped.
He was frightfuly mangled The left
leg was cut off at the knee and the
bones stripped of the flesh. His right
foot and right arm were cut Off and his
left arm was crushed from the wrist to
the shoulder. Several ugly gashes sew
erai inches in length were cut in his
head, and he was literally scalped.
Nearly every bone in his body was crush
ed Pieces of flesh and mangled bones
were strewn the entire distance on the
track.
An inquest was held, and the body
was taken to Albuquerque, via. Belen
to be collined, when it will be sent TO his
home. The wife o. the unfortunate
man was uotifed by wire Of the acci,
dent. She is in the hospital in Denver,
receiving JfeaJmenb. ne deceased was
about 40 years of age. He had been in
Willard since October IS, in company
with large number of other Colorado
sheepmen, purchasing sheep from the
extensive ranges south and east of this
city.

The canvass of the election returns by
the board of county commissioners on
last Monday created more excitement in
Estanca than anything for some time
past. 1t had been reported that an at
tempt would be made to have the board
throw out the vote Of several precincts,
where were known to Lave occurred irreg-
uIartieS in the election The report,
wherever it started was false to the core,
as no such intention was meditated. 1t is
not within the jurisdiction of the board to
do such thing, even if it had been con.
templated. The irregularities as shown
by the poll books were carefully noted,
to be used in connection with other evil
dence as gathered.
Delegate Andrews sent as his repre-
sentativeS to watch the canvass attorneys
Dodson of Albuquerque and Abbott of
Santa Fe, General Chas. F. Eas ley of
Santa Fe, was here representing the Dem
ocratic Territorial Central Committee.
Editor Loomis of the Eagle, was also
here taking notes. Before noon Hon.
Carl A. Dales and Col. VIM. Berger ar
rived on the scene District Attorney
Clancy was represented by his deputy,
E. B, Brumback
The official count, as certified to by the
various boards of election showed very
little change from the result as published
in last weeks News, except to add the
returns from the two precincts which
were missing last week. We give the Of
fcial returns this week.
In the books from the fatigue precinct
there were seventy-tWo names registered
as having voted. Not a single vote, how
ever, had been tailed to show which can
didates had received the votes. In the
certificates of theboard of election, sixty
six votes were shown to have been cast
for each candidate on the Republican tick.

urer and probate Judge, who received 65
votes each. How the judges arrived at
this conclusion without talIyng the vote
is an uneXplaina able conundrum. Perhaps
they called in the territorial public printer,
who did such clever work in figuring dur
ing the recent session of the legislature.
AS stated last week, the board in this
precinct also overlooked the little matter
of recording the Democratic ticket in the
poll books.
In Torreon precinct No. 2 the only mat
ter worth noticing is the fact that the can
didateS for surveyor received ninety six
votes, whereas the poll books show only
nnety-tive names of voters having voted,
In Manzano precinct No. 3, the board
must have had expert help also in max
ing up their certificates, as not vote was
tailed in the poll books, The certificates
showed I26 votes as having been cast but
the books did not show whether they had
been cast for the candidates on the Repub-
lican or Democratic, or whether they
were cast for some other tickets,
In Cienega, the same thing occurred,
there being sixty four names registered
as having voted, but not a single vote
Tailed, as required by law,
In Punta precinct, No, 5, the little mat.
ter of swearing the clerks as required by
law was overlooked. And in Willard
precinct the same overs ght occurred.
Moriarty precinct, No. s, showed a
change, the complete vote having been
tailed, but not a single name having been
registered as having voted.
Estancia, Palma and Duran appear to
have had better informed boards as to the
requirements of the law, and the books
showed up in good condition.
With a single exception. the poll books
were returned to the clerk sealed within
the ballot boxes, necesstating the open
ing of the boxes before the canvass could
be made.

O'Brien Anxious to FIGHT Jeffries.

RENO, New, Jan. 24-Philadelpnia
Jack OBrien wants to fight in Nevada,
and he is DESTROYS that his opponent
be either Jeffries or Marvin Hart. the
former preferred. Al Pope mas ar
rived here equipped with all the writ
ten documents necessary to sign arti-
cles of agreement for a finish fight for
the championship of the world for a
purse of $4,000
So interested are the sports of Neva-
da on having the worlds championship
question settled that they are backing
Pope, and he already has enough of
money in sight to insure more than
the amount of the purse.
If the fight is arranged, it probably
will take place here in the open-air
arena some time in May, but more
likely early in June, when the weather
will be more favorable. The belief is
that Jeffries would be a drawing card
If O'Brien was a heavier man, but as it
is, they believe the chap from Pnila-
delphia would be better able to make a
good showing with Hart.

Football Is Tabooed.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 24-The ac-
ton of the board of regents of the
state university in approving the res
olutlon of the faculty in suggesting
a suspension of the game of football
for two years is causing considerable
adverse comment. The action of the
regents was of course In accordance
with the recommendation of Presi-
dent c. R. Van Hise, who apparently
is wavering between the retention
and the abolition of the game.
DR.. Van Hise said last night that he
stood for the action of the faculty or
BOARD OF regents regarding football.
1t is known, however, that DR.. Van
Hise is not in favor of abolishing foot
ball.
Dr. Fred j. Turner, Wisconsin rep
resentative at the intercollegiate con-
ference to be held at Chicago tonor-
row, said that the action of the mil
vers1ty regents in upholding the action
OF the faculty was gratifying. The
evils of football were, he believed
common in all of the big western COL
leges. There was much room fo, inn
provement he thought.

HORSE TURNING WHITE.
Bay Steed Undergoing a Curious Ex-
perfence From Fright.


perfence From Fright.
Dan, a bright bay horse and c::e Of
the pets of Ware, Mass, Is gradually
turning white from the effects of a
shock which he suffered last summer,
says a special dispatch from Ware to
the New York Tribune. Veterinary
surgeons say the effect on the animals
nerves are precisely like that on the
nerves Of a human being whose hair
turns white overnight through some Sc
we're fright or tremendous strain. The
white hairs have appeared gradually in
patches all over the body, giving the
horse a queer notified appearance, and
he is becoming whittier every day.
Last July Dan was hitched In front
of livery stable while heavy thun
derstOrm was in progress. Suddenly
one of the bolts Of lightning struck the
edge Of the stable and there were 8
tremendous crash and a dazzling flash
Of lightning. The horse dropped down
to the ground as If shot and remained
there in a shivering, trembling mass
until he was literally dragged to his
feet He was not hurt q particle, and
it was doubtful if he was even stunned
by the bolt Of lightning, but he was
nearly frightened out Of his senses
He was taken to a stable and cared
for, but continued to SILVER and trem
BILE until the next day.
About week later Dams driver, A
T. Thayer, noticed a small spot OF
white hair on the horses legs. The
next day there were several white
spots on the animals back. Mr.. Thay
er made thorough examination to de
tect the presence Of an eruption or any
skin disease, but the horse was found
to be in the best of health. Daily new
spots of white have appeared unit
Dan is now nearly one-half white and
is one of the sights Of the town.
He is a big, handsome animal, weigh
ing 1,4OO pounds, and does duty on Q
heavy wood wagon. No load is toe
big for him to handle, and his ready
disposition to tackle any burden has
made him a favorite with the team.
sters, as his kindly, friendly nature
has made him pet with the children
Since his transformation began he is
receiving more apples and sugar thar
ever, and Mr.. Thayer says there is
danger that Dan will be spoiled.

THE WOMAO PIONEER OF PANTALOONs

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2i.-Miss Su-
san B. Fowler, Vineland, N. Y, who,
at the age of %, cast off skirts and
donned trousers and at the age OF 81
still wears 'em, is about to publish
for the uplifting of the carnal world
her psychic low. letters, written her
during a psychic courtship of five
years by a psychic lover, George Ed
ward Fowler, a young Englishman,
formerly of La Crescent, Mimi, whose
subsequent fate after paying one of
his visits to the pantalooned lady is
shrouded in mystery.
Like Tolstoi whom she also loves
with a lesser psychic love, Miss Fow-
Ter lives a simple life. She sells ap-
pies, driving a donkey cart, and tills
the soil for vegetables for much of
Vineland's soup. Marriage, as it exists
today, she thinks is the crime of the
age, and it is to show the world what

cast the joint Fowler-Fowler psychic
product upon the fields of erring souls.
Incidentally, she hopes, too, that the
applicant will be no longer necessary

Pioneer of Pants.
Miss Fowler is one of Vineland's
greatest monuments. Before DR..
Mary Walker, she was; yes, even be-

all others are but imitatOrS.
When Miss Fowler, at the age of rs,
announced that she had. discovered a

chicago Surgeons Recommend Them
to Avoid Cancers Of the Tongue.
Don't smoke more than three cigars
q day"
Don't so beyond two pipefuls Of to-
bacco a day if you smoke pipe"
"Don't hold your cigar or pipe con-
stantly in the same part Of the mouth"
Beware of damp tobacco; it often
contains glycerin."
These "don'ts" addressed to the man
Of average strength and normal nerves
were voiced the other day by Chicago
surgeons In discussion Of cancer Of the
mouth or throat, caused frequently by
excessive and careless smoking. The
occasion of their talk Is the case Of
Frederick L. Power, an actor, who re-
Gently submitted to an operation re-
moving a large part Of his tongue to
check cancerous growth, says a Chi
cago dispatch. While it Is not asserted
that tobacco Is the cause Of his illness.
cases similar to his in which nicotine
was at least a contributory cause were
recalled.
The case Of all cases cited by sur
geons as illustrating cancer caused by
tobacco is that Of President Ulysses s..
Grant. He was known as one Of the
most constant smokers in public life.
When the cancer developed it was at
once ascribed to this habit
DR.. William A. Sem, a recognized au-
thority on tumor and cancer, said:
Cancer In the mouth Is not neces-
sarily caused by the use Of tobacco.
Cancer, as far as science has revealed
1t, Is due to a constant irritation In a
certain spot. For instance, a man who
smokes a dozen cigars a day or as
many cigarettes is apt to hold such
cigar either on the right or left side Of
the mouth. This naturally causes ir-
ritation in just particular place and,
in some cases, should there be any sug-
gestion or sign Of cancer in the system,
it is likely that the growth would be
attracted to the spot where such irrita-
ton was caused"
Another Chicago physician, connect
ed with the relief department Of a
large railroad company, said:
Every smoker should be aware that
with his tobacco he obtains no small
proportion Of water. Dampening to
bacco in order to keep it from becom-
ing dry is a custom as old as the hills,
but the up to date method Is to use
glycerin. This gives out an intensely
irritating vapOr. In the case of can
Ger l hold the cheap tobaccos Of today
play an important part. Taken in
some forms glycerin is a stimulant,
but its effects are extremely injurious,
and it has been known to produce tenn
porary insanity and partial paralysis
of the brain. Smokers cannot be too
careful in their choice of tobacco"

final report Of the commission of the
five civilized Indian tribes in Indian
Territory, covering the fiscal year of
1905, when the existence of the COM
mission officially ended, has been sub
mitted to the secretary of the interior
has accomplished the purpose for
which it was created, though such
things as final allotment of lands to
Mississippi Choctaws and allotment
contest cases must go on for a con-
siderable time.
The commission has negotiated the
agreements necessary to the dissolu-
ton of the tribal governments and the
transfer of land titles from the tribes
as committees to the individual In
dams. The commission experienced
great difficulty in making the rolls
absolutely correct, owing to the pecu-
liarities of Indian nomenclature, mar
riages with whites, etc. The Choctaw
and Chicksaw nations had 66,217 ap-
plicants for enrolment; Cherokee,
