MANSFIELD.

Burglars broke into the post office
and store of Alfred Oden at Mansfield
at 1.3O Thursday morning. In gain.
ing entrance the men had to break the
bolt of the front door and this aroused
Mr.. &Oden, who lives above the store.
Mr" Oden, who has been visited be-
fore by burglars, woke up the other
members of the household and then
secured a shotgun and went to the
balcony above the veranda and waited
for the men. During this time the
burglars we're working on the safe,
which is an old one. After applying
the explosives they left the store and
one man hid behind an elm tree di-
lrectly in front of the store. After
the charge had gone off, the man be
hind the tree looked around to see if
the noise had disturbed any one, and
as he did so Mr.. Oden blazed away.
The man was seen to reel and fall to
the ground. Mr.. Oden heard some
say, "Oome on, Joe." and he then
went down stairs ON to the veranda of
the store, expecting to find the man
he had fred at. Instead he found q
derby hat riddled with shot and pool
of blood. The shot had struck the
man on the top of the head, and it is
believed that he was carried away by

TRIED TO SELL
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
To United States--President Garcia
of Ecuador Denounced as
Traitor, Now.

Guayquil, Ecuador, July 31.-The
government newspapers have caused a
sensation here by the publication OF
documents found among former Presi-
dent Garcia's private papers. A docu-
ment found treats of the sale of the
Galapagos islands to the United
States. It appears that the islands
were first offered to France. Senator
Garcia's memorandum says:
while at Washington | visited
President Roosevelt and inquired into
the question whether the United
States was disposed to take over the
Galapagos Islands, paying Ecuador
$5,000,000 in gold for them, thus rec
ognizing Ecuador's sovereignty over
the islands. Mr.. Roosevelt replied
that he would recommend the proposal
to Congress and was sure 1t would be
accepted, offering to appoint the Amer
lean minister to continue the negotia-
tions in Quito. A few days later JOS
eph w. J. Lee, the American minister
to Ecuador, arrived in Ecuador"
1t appears that the Alvao revolution,
which resulted in the overthrow of
Senior Garcia, ended the negotiations.
The official papers call Senor Garcia
and his ministers traitors for trying
TO sell part of the national territory.
The negotiations with France are
said to have been interrupted owing
to the belief that the United States
would not consent a European pow.
er acquiring the islands. A meeting
was held at Quito, the capital, to pro-
test against this action taken by Senior
Garcia and his ministers.
The Galapagos islands are a group
in the Pacific, belonging to Ecuador,
on and near the equator, 730 miles
west of the coast of Ecuador. They
consist of thirteen islands, the largest,
Albemarle island, being sixty miles in
length. On Charles island a small
colony of Ecuadorians was established
forming a penal settlement, and this
island contains most of the population
which hardly exceeds 400.

CLOUDY AND COOL.
Climate Record Of August at Santa Fe
For the Past Thirty.TWo
Years.

Some idea of what August weather
will be like may be gained from the
following data covering a period of 80
years, compiled by the United States
Weather Bureau in this city, although
the Bureau disavows any intention
of making a forecast for that length
of time for no two Augusts have ever
had weather exactly alike. The nor
NAL temperature in these 80 years at
Santa Fe has been 6S degrees. The
warmest August was that of 1879 with
an average temperature of 70 de-
grees; the coolest August was that Of
1894 with an average temperature of
Ga degrees. The warmest August day
on record, and by the way, the hottest
day ever experienced IN Santa Fe, was
August 8, 1878, when the thermometer
indicated a maximum of 81 degrees in
the shade The coolest August tenn
perature, 40 degrees, was recorded on
August 81, 1882. The earliest date for
killing frost in fall was Sept. rs, 1889,
while the average date for killing frost
has been October 10, so that real au.
tumn weather is at the most only three
months away. The average precipita-
ton for August has been 2.3S inches;
average number of days with .01 of an
inch or more 9; the greatest monthly
precipitation was 6.2S inches in 1881 !;
the least was SO of an inch in 1899.
The greatest amount of precipitation
for any "a consecutive hours was 2.02
inches on August 10, 1898. The aver
age humidity for the month has been
35 per cent. The average number of
clear days has been eleven per month,
partly cloudy days sixteen, cloudy four,
August sharing with July the distinc.
tion of being the cloudiest month of
the year. The prevailing winds have
been from the southeast; the average
hourly velocity Of the wind was SO

MUST CARRY THE
BABY FOR A TIME
Clever Capture Of Escaped Convict BY
Policeman Huber in San Miguel
County.


How would you like TO be awakened
suddenly in the small hours of the
morning, to look into the muzzle of
big six shooter with cool pair of
gray eyes behind 1t and finger work.
ing nervously on the trigger?
This was the situation faced by Fe-
lipe Perea, who escaped from the
territorial prison here about a year
ago and who since that time has been
living ON his ranch in San Miguel
County. His reputation as man,
quick with a gun, has prevented
those who might have done so, from
revealing his whereabouts. Recently
Mounted Police Richard Huber learn
ed where Perea was staying and act
ing upon the orders of Captain Fred
Fomoff, decided to try and arrest the
man. He left Las Vegas on horse
back, carrying blankets and a small
supply of grub, together with a Win
chester six shooter and a generous
supply of ammunition. The trip was
a severe one. In crossing a small
stream swollen by recent rains, the
officers horse was caught in the quick
sands and could not extricate itself
Some passing cowboys assisted Officer
Huber to get safely out of the swollen
stream.
The officer continued his journey
and found Perea's ranch He spent
three days and two nights hiding in
the vicinity of the house, awaiting a
favorable opportunity to arrest his
man. Perea, however, appeared al
ways to be on his guard. Finally after
nights vigil in the cold atmosphere
Of the hills, the officer decided to
enter the house boldly, He showed
open rickety door and entered
Perea's sleeping quarters. The es-
capped convict was snoring Justify. Of
ficer Huber tiptoed to the bed and
placed the muzzle of his revolver in
position to cover" the slumberer.
He then kicked the bed to awaken his
man and shouted "hands up!" Perea
sat up in bed, took one look at the
six shooter then elevated his Units"
as high as possible.
The officer quickly ordered the man
to clothe himself, then handcuffed him
and placed him upon horse. BY the
time Perea's friends found out that
he had been recaptured, he was
well on his way to the penitentiary
and too far for them to render him as
sistance. Perea was lodged i'm the
territorial penitentiary yesterday eve
ming and today carried the baby" to
work
While on this trip, Officer Huber
also followed some men with $50
horses, across the line into Texas, The
men had bills of sale for the animals
and no arrests were made.
