morning said: 1T is in very credita-

the point as is characteristic of an
army officer, but showing that the To-

work and keeping its equipment in
approved style.
There were 81 men and two off1c-
ers out last night. The minimum linn
it is 80 men and officers together
Company B is one of the smaller
ones of the Territory, but Adjutant
General A P. Tarkington's comment
on this company is that they go
through their drill and inspection
with a snap and vim that is pleasing
to an officer.
General Trakington is accompany

spection throughout the Territory,
and while here will make his annual
inspection of the Military Institute.
Speaking of the Territorial militia,
General Harrington said: HThe boys

for a weeks encampment in July. At
this encampment a Territorial con-
test will be held, and fifteen men will
be selected from all over the Terri
tory, according to their merits, for a
team that will represent New Mexico
at the National Small Arms Conven-
ton at Seagirt, n. J., in August. The
government provides a fund for this
meeting which enables every state
and territory to send a team of fif-
teen, paying travelling expenses and
keeping the men while at the con-
vention. There many honors will be
distributed. The men are also allow
ed the regular pay they would re-
ceive if on army duty while there.

INDIANA REPUBLICANS.
Assemble in State Convention at Ind
annapolis.

indianapolis. Ind, Apr. 1.-THE
Republican state convention assem-
bled today at Tomlinson Hall to
nominate state officers, with the ex-
ception of candidates for governor,
lieutenant governor and justice of
the supreme court. Representative A.
L. Brick was elected temporary chair
man. Senators Beveridge and Hemen-
way made short addresses.
The platform as agreed upon by
the leaders dwells at length upon
state issues, endorses President
Roosevelt, Fairbanks, the Indiana
senators and representatives in the
conduct of their offices, and has a
plank favoring the national regula-
ton of railroad rates. Reciprocity
and the protective tariff are favored
and protection of the people against
the encroachments of combined capi-
tai. The platform approves the eff
forts of the Republican party in the
construction of the Panama canal.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY
Witnesses Tell How Price Killed Cur
tis.- Defense Unable to Weaken
Prosecutions Testimony Case for
Defense Begun This Afternoon.
Special to The Record.

Special to The Record
Portales, N. NJ, Apr. 1.-THE first
witness for the Territory in the case
of E. l.. Price, charged with the muir
der of Frank Curtis was Mr. Cordell
a cattle shipper of Amarillo, Texas
who on the night of the homicide was
enroute to Pecos. Cordel1 gave con-
else and clear report of the killing
His testimony was as follows. He
was in the compartment occupied by
the news stand, and sat opposite the
same. Conductor Curtis coming thro'
the train saw the negro porter sell
ing stuff and ordered him to desist
saying that if the butcher (Price)
could not run the stand he could
close it up. The negro appeared to
be drunk.
Shortly after this said the wit
ness, 1.-The conductor came through
the train, coming from towards the
rear AS he reached the news butch
er's stand short conversation which
l did not hear took place, at the con-
clusion of which the conductor start
ed out of the car, when the news
butcher put his hand on the conduct
or's shoulder as though to detain him,
at the same time reaching one hand
to his hip pocket and taking hold of
;Jluctor again started to leave the car,
when the defendant reached over
and caught the lapel of his coat and
jerked the conductor around facing
him. The conductor as he turned
threw his arms around the news
butchers body, the butcher doing the
same to the conductor. They appear
ed to partly fall over in the seat
when the man Price drew his gun
and fired the first shot, the first bull
let entering near the left nipple and
coming out a little below the right
ed back and attempted again to
leave the coach, and Price fired a
second shot, which entered between
the sixth and seventh ribs and pass
ed through the liver. A third shot
was fired, which entered back to the
ward and penetrating the left vent
ricle of the heart. The witness testi-
fed only as to the number of shots
fired and the positions of the parties,
the locations of the wounds being
supplied by the testimony of DR. Rash
baum. of Roswell. the physician who
examined the corpse.
The defense failed to draw any ad-
ditional- or contradictory facts from
the witness. and the cross examina-
tion did not weaken Cordell's testi-
mony. Several other witnesses cor
roborated the main and minor points,
and the testimony of witnesses as
to the conversation and actions of
the defendant was excluded The Ter
ritory rested its case at eleven today,
and the defense began at o'clock
this afternoon

The Bugle's Blast.

Langford Bugle: Alex. R. Wright of
Oakes, N. D., is the most uneasy cuss
we ever saw in the newspaper business.
He no sooner makes an improvement
in his equipment and gets it paid for
than he finds something else that is not
just to his liking and wades right in as
though he were worth a million. Last
year he enlarged his paper, added a
new cylinder press to the plant and
bought enough new type and other
material to run two ordinary print
shops. The latest move Of his was the
changing of the name Of his paper from
the Oakes Republican to The Oakes
Times. We rather liked the name
Republican, but Alex. thought it was a
little top heavy and substituted the
word Times. We are glad to see you
progressing, Bro. Wright.

Road to the Gulf.

Aberdeen News: Articles of incor-
poration were filed last night at Pierre
for the Canadian Southern Railway
with a capital of $50, 900. The line
will run from Winnipeg, Can, to
Galveston, Tex, and will cross the
Missouri River at Pierre. The incor-
porators are E. A. Hill of Galveston,
Tex, P. M. Gilligan, Highmore, and
A. P. Sawyer and Elias jacobson and
other Pierre parties. The articles of
incorporation provide for branch lines
in South Dakota.
If this proposed road is ever built,
there is little doubt but that it will
touch Aberdeen. The fact that num-
ber Of the incorporators are Pierre
men will certainly take it to that city
and while going there will stop at
Aberdeen on the way. The road would
probably afford Pierre an opportunity
to dispose of it's grade to this city if no
other road secures it in the meantime.

NOT A STREAK OF
CREASED lGHTNING
Only the New Passenger Train
Put on by 500.
Day Service Between Oake. and Minneapolis,
New Train Should Be Popular.

The 500 has put on passenger train.
The first announcement came from
Minneapolis Friday morning when the
train men and agents here were sup
piled with copies of the new time card.
Superintendent Derrick had given it
out while here two weeks ago that no
passenger would be put on this line,
and the people rather. took him at his
word.
The first passenger came in from
the west Monday morning on schedule
time, and the evening train from the
east was right on the dot. The train
is due to arrive from the east at
O'Clock in the evening, and after change
of engines leaves at 8:15 for Bismarck.
The train from the west arrives in
Oakes at 4:55 a. m. and leaves for the
east at sos, arriving in Minneapolis at
Abs p. m. Returning the train leaves
Minneapolis at 8:45 a. m. Sleeper ac-
commodations will be run from Han
kinson to Bismarck.
Oakes is the only place on the run
where the conductors will change.
Messrs. Loomis and Nicholson will
have the east run from here and
Messrs. Quimby and Phelps will punch
tickets between Oakes and Bismarck. !
: The freight is due to arrive from
Hankinson at IL, and will go west at
1915. The freight from the west will
arrive at 1915 and will go east at 1:30.
The new passenger schedule does not
improve our mail service any, as we
now have to wait till after dinner fo,
the twin city evening papers. But,
anyhow, we are thankful for a passen-
ger.
