Novel Life Insurance,

A curious form of life insurance was
introduced some years ago in French
manufacturing towns under the name
of La Fourmi (the anti. The pecu.
liarity is that the longer a man lives
the less he becomes entitled to. The
payment of about a dollar a month
assures the payment of $1,000 to the
heirs of man dying before the age
of SO, the payment diminishing pro-
portionately to $50 at 81. The idea
seems to be that if man dies young
his children are likely to be in want,
but when he is so they will be able
to earn their own living.

5o.25 People on Each Train.

The average number of passengers
in each railroad train In the United
States in 1904 was 5025. This rep
resents a growth from about thirty
nine a train, in 1898, but is still far
below the development attained
abroad. In 1898 Germany carried an
average of seventy-one persons in
each train and India had the large
figure of iS9. The development of
the electric railway in this country
and the frequent train service help
to keep down the average.

INTERESTING VISIT TO
CLIFF DWELLINGS
Party From Santa Fe Secured Many
Unique Photographs Of Pajarito
Park.

After an interesting visit to the
dwellings of the ancient people who
once inhabitated the district known as
Pajarito Park, J. b. Sloan, assistant
director of the local weather Office,
NJ. c. White of Pittsburg, Pennsylva-
MIA, and J. F. McKelvey of Youngs-
town, Ohio, reached Santa Fe last
night at 10 o'clock. They were travel
stained and tired but reported a good
time. The party made the trip from
this city to the park, distance Of
some thirty-five miles on horseback
They would have reached the Capital
last evening in time for good sup
per, had 1t not been for the fact that
owing to the wind storm that came
up about dark, they lost The trail and
wandered for several hours. Finally
Mr.. Sloan solved the problem by let.
ting his pony pick the route. The
sensible animal soon found its bear
ings and made bee line for home
and feed.
In speaking of his trip to New
Mexican reporter, Mr.. Sloan said:
1--WE started for the cliff dwellings
last Thursday morning early and had
a very pleasant ride. We made our
headquarters with B. s. Phillips of
the Ramon Land and Lumber Com
pany in Pajarito Canon, whose guests
we were.
From Mr.. Phillips's home, it was
but short ride to the spots we most
desired to see. Our main object in
making this trip was to secure photo
graphs of the cliff dwellings and the
surrounding country. We have some
fine views which we will have fin
ished and mounted.
81 think the most interesting spot
to tourists in all of New Mexico, Is
the 400 roomed communal dwelling
of Pajarito Park We spent day in
the place, getting into every nook
and Granny we could find and seeing
all that was to be seen. For historic
interest and general fine scenery, I
| think the cliff dwellings are the cen
ter of attraction.
Upon our return we again stopped
day with Mr.. Phillips. He is max
ing many improvements in the vicini-
| ty of the canon. Twenty men are now
| al work setting I'm a saw mill and con
structing roads into the neighboring
forest on the Ramon Will Land Grant,
The timber of which is soon to be
converted into merchantable lumber
Mr.. Phillips expects soon to employ
over 100 men and begin numbering
on an extensive plan. The timber will
be hauled from the forest to the mill
and the lumber will be taken overland
seven or eight miles to the nearest
railroad point"

HOW GARCIA
KILLED BARELA
Gambler Refused to Allow Rancher to
Play in Game and Latter
Then Shot Him.

John H. Young. an old settler and
farmer near Questa, Taos County, and
Ricardo Martinez of Questa, arrived
in Santa Fe Saturday to consult at.
torneys for the defense of Melton
Garcia, sheep owner and rancher Of
Taos County who, on the night Of No
vember Z, shot and killed Pedro
Barela and severely wounded Polito
Archuleta, who interfered to prevent
trouble.
According to the story of witnesses,
the affair took place in the gambling
room of saloon owned by Francisco
Rael in Questa.
1t seems that Melton Garcia, who
had been on his ranch for a number
Of weeks. ran short of supplies and
drove into Questa to make purchases.
While there he met friend, Abelino
Quintana. The men went to Rael's
saloon and entered the gambling
room, where Barela was dealing
monte. Melton Garcia with others
was playing, or at least made an at
tempt to play It is asserted that for
some reason unknown to the wit
nesses. Barela did not want Garcia to
play Hot words were exchanged and
it is asserted threats were made.
Fearing that there would be trouble.
Archuleto grasped Barela around the
waist At the same time, Alfredo
Herrera seized Garcia. Both Garcia
and Barela struggled to free them.
selves. Garcia succeeded in dfawine
six-shooter from his pocket and.
changing it from one hand to the
other, fired quickly.
The bullet struck Archuleta in the
arm, passing through the muscular
tissues and hit Barela in the abdO-
men inflicting wound from which
he died in short time after terrible
suffering.
When the shot was fred there was
general exodus from the gambling
room. Barela fell to the floor where
he lay groaning. Garcia walked
quietly from the place and went to
the home of his father, Jose Perfecto
Garcia, rancher, where later he
surrendered voluntarily to a constable
from that precinct
Barela was carried to his home in
an unconscious condition and given
medical attention He was shot at
about II o'clock and died exactly FIVE
hours later.
The whole affair, is rather mixed as
the stories of witnesses to the shoot
ing are said to disagree. Whether
Garcia intended to kill Barela or
whether the pistol was accidentally
discharged in his tussle with Her
rera, is not known. Garcia claims to
have fired in self defense and that
Barela who was a monte dealer, tried
10 pull a pistol in order to shoot him,
Garcia.
The latter is now in the county Jail
in Taos without bail, he having waiv-
ed examination before the justice Of
the peace, at Questa, and was sent to
Jail accordingly to await the action
of the next grand jury in Taos Coun-
ty.
Mr.. Young and Mr.. Martinez left
for home via the Denver & Rio Gran
de at L O'Clock this morning.
