APPROPRIATION TO
SECURE WATER
Santa Fe Road Will Spend Fortune
for Artesian Well at
Willard.

An Appropriation of $4,000 has been
made by the Santa Fe Railway Com
pany for the purpose OF procuring a
plentiful supply of water on the Belen
cutoff. The water question is one
that has been causing a great deal OF
worry among the officials of the road
for some time, and they have now de.
cided to secure artesian water if it is
possible. A we'll will be dug at Willard
and Chief Engineer Key has an
nounced that the machinery will be Sc
cured at once and the drill will i'm
mediately start in search of water. 1t
Is planned to have an elaborate system
fol carrying water to the places where
wells do not seem practicable. Gravity
will carry the water by pipe line from
Willard to Encino, where it will be
pumped into big reservoir by steam
From that point graviiy will carry il
to Epris or Vaughn. The progress OF
the well will be watched with great
interest by the ranchmen of that sec
ton, and if a flowing vein of water is
struck, 1t will mean a great deal to the
future Of that part of the Territory.

were attacked by the strikers. At this
juncture some one fired a shot and
the sheriff's posse fired
volley into the crowd, killing an Ital-

wounding two other strikers. Two of
the deputies were badly beaten while
trying to disarm the mob. At the

DEATHS BY ACCI.
DENT AND SUICIDE
Carlos Armijo Crushed BY Boiler
Nephew Shoots Himself on
Spot.

While Carlos Armijo, of San Anto
nio, Socorro County, was hauling a
boiler to the coal mines at Carthage
his wagon broke down and Armijo
somehow, was thrown under it. The
heavy boiler crushed the life out OF
him. His nephew Reymundo Armijo
was with him at the time. Evidently
the young man did the best he could
but was unsuccessful. At some time
and within few hours after his un-
cle's death, he must have committed
suicide as his body was found along
side that of his uncle with a bullet
hole through his head and discharged
revolver lying near his hand. 1t is
believed that the young man became
temporarily deranged from watching
by his uncle's body or committed sui
eide on account of remorse or fear
The theory of suicide is the one that
is believed by the people. The re-
mains of the two men were inferred
in the Catholic Cemetery at San An.

POLICE BELIEVE
SUICIDE THEORY
Standard Oil Official Thought to Have
Ended Life to Secure insurance
for Family.

New York, May S.--Police officials
who have investigated the mysterious
death of Charles l.. Spier, confidential
agent of H. H. Rogers who was reported
killed in a duel with a burglar yester
day, have reported that the evidence
tends to show that Spier committed
suicide. They found no evidence OF
any burglar and the savage bull dog
which accompanied Spier on his al.
legged search for house breaker,
took no part in the fight if there was
one. Spier recently took out a life
insurance for $4,000 and had to bor-
row money to pay the premium. 1t
was also discovered that Judgment
in bankruptcy against Spier for $780,
$40 and others had been granted since
February. These judgments were en-
tered against the Yettman Transmit
ting Typewriter Company of which
Spier was the president, when the
company went into bankruptcy.
Coroner Refutes Theory.
Coroner Matthew Cahill said today
that he is positive the wound which
caused Spier's death could not have
been inflicted by himself and that
Spier was undoubtedly murdered.
