tion. This statement was made to the

Deeds of thrilling heroism marked
the fire. Sailing Master George. w
Wilson fell down a hatchway and lay
crippled and UNCONSCIOUS, when Chief
Officer Lassak and others bore him
out OF the pit OF death. Subsequently
I.assak khimself was rescued from
death by Fireman Joseph Cook, and
an unknown man. The fear OF explo
sion d d not deter the fremen. though
they knew there was a large quantity
OF explosives on board Captain Da'
kin lost his life because Of his un
fiinching resolution and dauntless
courage In fighting the fire. Acting
Chief Sullivan saved many lives by
opening hatch and letting q long
ladder down into the hold. When the
fire was iirst discovered. shortly be-
fore midnight, the first hold was
ch0ked with smoke. The cargo appa
rently had been slowly burning for
hours. 1t required the united efforts
OF many engine companies. aided by
fire tugs, to subine the FIRE.

which there Is good local market,
While the patient Is regaining his

II Is q dreary prospect for pa.

ers and fold his arms awaiting the
return Of health. II he has something
to do to employ his body as well as

We have prosperous town Of
about $500 people. Good schools and
and good society. The altitude Ia
6.40O feet. which gives us y cool eli.
mate In summer and there are but
few days in winter when invalids
cannot 1e out In the open air. A
short distance from the town are sit.
uated the famous Hot Springs. Here

west Of Chicago.
To patients who wish to 60 to 9th
er portions OF the territory g0bd
lands can be found at reasonable
prices, In the southeastern portion
OF the territory Ia situated the Ia
nous Mesilla valley. This valley fol
fruit raising is the equal to any
spot on earth and IL rapidly gaining
a world wide reputation. The profita
derived from ten acres In this valley
are as great as from one hundred
and sixty acres IN most Of the
western states. This valley In pro
ductiveness Is at least the equal ol
any spot In California with the ad'
vantage Of an altitude that will give
life and health to the consumptive.
! speak thus particularly Of the
lands In these localities from the fact
that so many patients and their fam
lilies are deSArred from coming tc
this country for the reason that they
believe that there is no way by which
they can make living. The frui'
and farming lands In New Meyics
are unsurpassed as means Of max
Ing living for those who are willin(
to work.
In conclusion I will say--d0n't send
your hopeless cases here or anywhere
else. but to those who have rea'
sonable chance you can say that New
Mexico oners them all there Is In eli
mate.
Yours truly,

Bell Denies Mur-
der Of Chaves

I. PRESCOTT, Arix.. Feb. l. - United
States Deputy Marshall Fred FornOfi
returned home today, but without
Frank Bell. The latter made . state
ment to the officers today that he ID
not the murderer Of Colonel Chaves
and that he does not know who are
the assassins. Bell does not deny
that he made the confession, but
says he was drunk when he did 80.
Apparently In q rational manner,
he gave the names Of places where he
was employed before, at the time and
after the murder, and going into de-
tails told the names or the foreman
and superintendent Of the quarry
where he worked. These men are
all we'll known in New Mexico and
Bell will be held here until they are
consulted and the facts Of his where
abouts established.
Bell is a native OF Germany. sixty.
seven years old. and has lived in
America forty years. He confesses to
have been married three times to
Mexican wives, Is Of low grade Of
intelligence, and much addicted TO
liquor.
He was examined by a physician
here who gave the opinion that his
mind was unbalanced and that he
was suffering from acute alcoholism.
Since his incarceration, Bell has
eaten little, stands the greater part
Of the day watching the door Of the
Jail. Is OF unkempt appearance and
q glance at his eye would convince
anybody that he Is q III subject for
an asylum rather than the hangman's
moose.
