ion that when western New Mexico is

CROWD OF BLACK ROUGHS
ALMOST KILL WHITE MAN
Thomas Ryan is BrutaIIy Beaten by
Negroes who, After MauIing and
kicking Him, Leave Him to Dfe-In
PrecariOus Condition.

Thomas Ryan, white man, was
brutally assaulted by a crowd of
drunken negroes this morning and
beaten into insensibility.
Ryan is a laborer in the employ of
Contractor O'Brien, who has the con-
tract for some work for the Chicago,
Cincinnati & Louisville railroad, just
south of town. He was attending to
his work, it is said, when the negroes
approached him ard without provoca
ton, attacked him.
Ryan, being ah Irishman and by that
token good fighter, stood his ground
and, instead of fleeing, attempted to
subdue his assailants single-handed.
In spite of his gameness. however, he
was soon knocked down by one of the
largest of the negroes, and after he
was down, the entire crowd attacked
him, one of them kicking him in the
face and the rest raining kicks and
blows all over his body. The latter
bears witness by many bruises and
abrasions, to the brutal treatment he
received.
After each of the negroes had vented
his spleen on the PROSTATE form of
Ryan they fed leaving their victim
to die.
His groans attracted one of his fell
low workmen who summoned Emmer-
ling's ambulance. Ryan was taken to
St. Margaret's hospital, where he now
lies in a preearious condition. For
some time he remained unconscious
but he was finally restored, and told
his story.
When the details OF his maltreat-
ment reached the ears of Ryan's COM
panions. there was talk Of lynching
the negroes, but the latter had fed.
There is great deal of complaint
about the negroes by the people in the
neighborhood, who feel that extra po-
lice protection should be awarded
them. or that the blacks should be
made to keep within the confines Of
their own camp.

TO BE A COLD WINTER.

There are many signs that next
winter, unlike last winter, will be un-
usually severe. In the first place
there are bushels OF nuts on the trees
and bushes in the surrounding country.
This is said to be natures way of
providing for the birds. and a big crop
of nuts means a long, severe winter
This prediction is supported by the
statement that the corn husks are
much thicker this year than they have
been for a long time.
Still another sign Of long and
cruel winter is found in the activity
of the barn mice. These little animals
have already begun the work of build
ing their nests and observers agree
that they are making them this year
unusually warm and cozy. Last year
they seemed to give little attention
to the building of their winter homes,
but this year they are not only begin
ming to build them unusually early.
but are giving remarkable attention
and care to their construction. All of
which signs point to a severe winter.
and there are many people who place
as much confidence in these homely
predictions as they do in the reports
of the weather bureau

NEW ELECTION LAW WILL
GO INTO EFFECT THIS YEAR.
Work ON Election Returns Must Begin
at Once-CIcrk's Office Must Remain
Open During Night.

The new election law, approved
March, 1905, makes it the duty of the
county election commissioners to or
ganize at six o'clock p. m. on the day
of election as board of canvassers in
the county clerks Office to count the
votes cast at such general election.
The county clerk must keep his Office
open all night, and the inspectors of
elections in every precinct must, as
soon as the votes are counted for state
and county officers, take the returns
to the county clerks office immediate
~. The election commissioners, one of
whom is the county clerk, are author
lied to employ such clerical assistance
as may be necessary to canvass the
vote without delay; but one-half of the
clerks shall be democrats and the other
half republicans The duties of this
board are the same as when the board
consisted of the county clerk and in
spectors under the old law. In this
way it is expected that all returns will
be received and the entire vote of the
county will be canvassed and certified
during the night following the cleo
ton
1t is important that all election in
spectors and other election officers, as
we'll as the election commissioners, get
copy Of the law and read it care
/ fully. as it is a new one, and imposes
duties that have to be performed i'm
mediately after the votes are counted
! in each precinct.

''Calls off" While K. of P.

PROVES HIMSELF ARTIST
Puts Dancers Through Mazes Of
Quadrille in Mastery
Fashion.

It remained until last night for Ham
mond to learn that it had an alderman
at-large who can do the society act in
as able a manner as he can sit in the
council and pass his vote on city or
dinances.
Harry Eastwood, the man in question,
can call a reel in such manner as to
set one back to days when plans were
made for a week ahead to attend an
d-fashioned barn dance that was
given at Hiram's or Ephs on the fol-
lowing Sunday night.
For time last night at the Knights
of Pythias Halloween party in the K.
p. hall he was the whole thing-the
main noise-so to speak. He has an
excellent voice, this Harry, and to see
him stand on the platform, swinging
his frame to the tune of the music and
shouting, Salute your partners, right
and left" was as good as to hear him
cast his vote in favor of some much
needed city legislation.
| He was only the caller for the
rustic dance, and it was left for a mere
menial to announce. Get your part
ners for a quadrille." While the mere
menial was assembling the couples
Harry stood on the platform waiting
for all eyes to be cast upon him,
which should be the signal to begin.
In the meantime the first fiddler was
again tuning his instrument and az
plying the rosin to the bow in order
to more ably make the swift runs
when Harry should call, Swing"
Those who have occasionally indulg-
ed in the pleasing art, which at times
is accredited to st. Vitus, know that

mercy of the caller. 1t rests entirely

i Standing, as he was, it was hard to
associate the dignified alderman at
large with his present position. One
can only guess where he learned it
and how he managed to remember it
all. 1t may have come back to him on
the spur of the moment, when he re

LAST MOMENT
FLASHES
DRAe-Nnr Eon pnue FansDs.


Chicago. Oct. 3o.-The police depart
ment has ordered a drag-net thrown
out for all drug fends." Chief Col
Inns has instructed his detectives to
raid cocaine and opium joints and to
watch all drug stores where narcotics
are sold. This is done as it is believ-
ed that Leonard Leopold has returned
to the city and is in hiding. If this
theory proves true, his fondness for
drugs will doubtless lead to his cap
ture, as it is believed he has returned
here to get drugs which could not be
obtained in the suburban towns away
from Chicago.
The belief that Leopold has returned
was strengthened by the arrest of Will
liam Reed, who fed from a drug store
at State and Harrison streets, after
offering SIS for cocaine. The police
sweated him and looked for a woman
who, Reed declared, gave him the
money to purchase the drug for a
friend out of town.
In the meantime Coroner Hoffman
declared today that a high police of
fetal had stopped an investigation of
the Leslie murder by the states attor-
ney declaring it a suicide. At the
same time Coroner Hoffman gave out
the details of the charges against De
putty Coroner John Cummings. under
whose directions a verdict of suicide
was returned.
William Reed was recognized by Cap
tain Evans of the bureau of identif-
cation as an ex-convict who had served
ten years in the penitentiary for kill
ing a man at indianapolis fourteen
years ago.

Roosevelt's new phonetic spelling-at

board of education has given the mat
ter careful thought, having decided
to let the matter rest until the merits
of the new system have received
thorough trial elsewhere. Many peo-
pie are dissatisfied with the manner in
which the matter was allowed to drop,
declaring that so momentous a subject
should have received more discussion.

WANTS GRANITE COMPANY.
Abilene Capitalist May Move Plan
to Wichita.


The Abilene Granite Company
whose plant at Granite. Okla, hal
been in operation for two years may
get handsome bonus for moving to
Wichita. At a meeting Of the Wichita
commercial club last night Secretary
Resing reported that he had made a
trip to Granite for tie purpose OF So
curing granite polishing works.
He said that the Abilene Granite
company, which owns q twenty-acre
granite quarry at Granite, Okla, also
has q polishing plant there worth
$4,000. On account Of its not be-
ing centrally located and also be-
cause it is hard to secure the labor
desired in a small town, the company
wants to move the polishing plant to
a larger city.
Propositions have been made by
Topeka, Kansas City and FL Reno.
The company, however, prefers COM
ing to Wichita, as it is in an excellent
territory besides being nearer the
quarry than the other towns with the
exception Of Ell Reno.
