Test of Strength Oc-

Overseer Voliva Resents Ef-

Former Followers

Chicago, April 2S.-The final test
Of strength between Apostle John AL
exander Dowie and Oyerseer Voliva Is
scheduled to occur tomorrow After
staying in this city for almost two
weeks, regaining his health and ac-
curing complete knowledge of the
situation, Dowie left today for Zion
City on the shores of Lake Michigan.
and tomorrow he will attempt to hold
a meeting in the Tabernacle. The
building will be open to him, but Over
seer Voliva, who has taken charge
of affairs since Dowie's departure and
who is desrous of assuming the place
of power once held by the prophet.
has warned the people to stay away
from the meeting Even Voliva Is al
most ready to concede that should
Dowie be given an opportunity to ad-
dress his former followers, he will, by
sheer force of his strong personality
be able to gain their attention, and 1t
Is generally conceded that he will re-
gain his former strength as dictator
Voliva Confident of Former Leaders
Downfall.
Voliva,, however, is equally conf.
dent that if he can induce the resi-
dents of Zion to remain away from
tomorrows meeting, the moral effect
of the former powerful leader, talking
to empty benches will be sufficient to
forever end the control he has held
over the people The arrival Of Dowie
in his former home Is awaited with
the most intense interest by vhe'Tesi
dents Of that thriving city. Mrs.
Dowie who appeared to have complete.
ly turned against her husband Is quite
i'll, and will make no statement con-
cerning the likelihood of his regaining
power. Dowie is confident of his
strength and is keen to secure the
power. He has uttered the most vim.
dictive threats against what he terms
"the usurpers" and threatens them
with the most dire punishment for at
tempting to betray him,

WHOLESALE INDICT-
MENTS FOR GAMBLING
Nine Of Every Ten Citizens of Wyo.
ming Town Likely to Be Fined
for Gaming.

Cody, Wyo., April 2S.-A wave of re-
form that has just struck this city
has resulted in indictments for gamb-
ling being brought against 1,085 per-
sons, by far the greater part OF the
entire population. The crusade was
started by the county to raise funds
to replace public bridges washed out
by the floods. An investigation that
was brought resulted in nine out of
every ten male citizens over the age
of q being indicted. The minimum
fine for gambling is $500 for each per-
son, and if each man receives a fine,
Cody's contribution to the county
funds will be $325,000 The number OF
indictments returned is the largest on
record in any city in the country in
proportion to It's size.

man: "A very young man to occupy
the important office of governor Of

the chief executive Of New Mexico,
who is guest of the New Willard
Governor Hagerman Is but 81 years
old, but he had considerable experience
in public affairs prior to his appoint

man who has done much for the de-
velopment of New Mexico in the way
of railroad construction and the build
ing of irrigation canals. we are get
ting along excellently in our section
said the young governor. This year
we have been blessed with fine rains,
and whenever the rainfall is good, the
cattle and sheep men are certain of
coming out on top. Not only will the
reclamation projects now under way
bring into cultivation many thousands
of acres of fertile lands in the Pecos
and Rio Grande Valleys, but our farm
ers have learned new way of raising
crops in districts where little rain
falls. This is by what Is known as the
Campbell system, SO called after its In.
ventor, a man of that name who first
applied 1t in Kansas. BY this plan
the moisture is prevented from evap.

full wherever tried, and may yet solve

His Assailant Is Still at
Liberty.

Juvencio Quintana, aged about 81
years, is in serious condition at the
homes of his father Tomas Quintana, on

received about the face and neck in a
fight which occurred between himself,
Guillermo Gallegos and Ramon Tru-

The fight took place on College Street,
near the Academy of the Sisters of Lo,

and Trujillo attacked Quintana with
knives and inflicted several serious

thought to have left the city immedi
ately after the affair occurred, as the
officers have been unable to learn OF
their whereabouts.
