According to the statements of Sill.
verthorne and Of every prisoner con-
fined in the cells, 1t was the intention
OF the three desperate men to kill the
officer. This conclusion is reached
from their talk and actions during
the assault. Fortunately, Silverthorne
was unarmed. Had he been, the men
would doubtless have taken his gun,
and in that event probably would
have used it.
After putting Silverthorne in the
cell, the trio unlocked the door lead.
ing from the corridor into the Jail Of
flee, using the officers key, and then
locked it on the outside. The office
door was unlocked, and they walked
out in the most leisurely fashion. To
all appearances, they were men who
had gone to the jail on some business
and having finished it, were not par
ticular as to where they went next
1t was this stage of the escape thai
was really most dangerous, and the
movements of the men showed clever
ness. Only one person, so far Al
known, saw them at this time. I. M
Hobensack noticed them come out, bu
their deliberation and conduct wa.
such as not to arouse the slightes
suspicion. It is likely that severa
others saw the men,. but gave then
only passing glance. Mr.. Hobensacl
saw them walk of towards the rail

From Albuquerque Citizen.
The Democratic central committee
did a wise, a good and patriotic act
yesterday when by a vote of "a to
it adopted a resolution in favor ot
Joint statehood, and Albuquerque is
glad that the resolution was offered
by a citizen of mis- town, o. N. Mar
ron.
The resolution which was adopted
recites the attitude of hat party in
New Mexico on the question of joint
ure, as expressed in h conventions
of 1904 at Silver City in April and at
Las Vegas in August, and then re
solves that the Democratic Terrific
rial Central Committee of New Mex
leo, representing the Democratic par
ty, hereby pledges our most earnest
support towards ratifying the said
enabling act passed by the Fifty
ninth congress"
Those VINO voted against the reso-
luton were: Jose Segura, Judge N.
B. Laughlin, both of Santa Fee; Sum
mers Burkhart, of Albuquerque; Jose
E. Montoya, of Chamita; Samuel Ell

son of Roswell, by proxy held by
Judge Laughlin.
This action removes the question
of statehood from the field of parti-
san strife, where some of the anti
papers of the Territory nave been
trying SO S~trenuOuSly TO pIace it. 1t

Arizona papers say h a the recent
meeting of the Republican and Dem
ocratic committees at Pnoeni has
given joint statehood a big boost. The
Republican committee stood 90 to Is
against jointure, and 25 per cent of
the Democratic committeeman were
for jointure. The question now is:
If the committees of both parties
showed so strong a proportion OF
statehood supporters, how will it be
with the people?
