ATTORNEY GENERAL
pRlcAARp 10 RESIGN
An Able Servant Of the People Of
New Mexico.

From Santa Fe New Mexican:
The New Mexican is reliably
informed that Attorney General
George w. Prichard has offered
to tender Governor Hagerman
the resignation of the Office he
now holds, to take effect June
lst next. Colonel Prichard has
held this position for fifteen
months and has made a very
credita able and satisfactory re-
cord to all concerned, to the
commonwealth, to the legal in
terests of the Territory and to
himself. Colonel Prichard, in
making this tender, has done so
in order to accommodate and en-
able the Governor of the Terri
tory to place in this very import
ant Office a lawyer who would be
personally agreeable to the ex-
ecutive, although tits generally
conceded that the attorney gen
eral is the servant of the people
as whole, and the obligations
of that Office to be faithfully car
ried out are perhaps of as much
interest to the Territory Of New
Mexico as they are to the execu-
tive.
The attitude of General Prich-
ard in this matter is, however,
commendable and shows an APP
probation Of good will, which is
of the proper spirit and should
be conductive to harmony and
good feeling, and The New Mex
lean hopes his offer will be 81
received, otherwise controversies
may ensue which might not re-
dOund to the benefit or pleasure
of all concerned. The New Mex
lean is in favor of harmony and
good will within the Republican
party and hopes that this will be
the case.

VIEW OF A MEXICAN"
On Action Of Eddy County Dem
Ocrats Concerning PartiCipa-
tiOn in Primary Elections.

From Santa Fe New Mexican:
"Rincon, N. NJ, March II,
1906.
Editor New Mexican.
Your editorial comment on
the action of the Democratic
Central Committee Of Eddy
County, declining to permit
'Mexicans' to vote at the Dem
ocratic primaries is in the right
direction.
THE action of that committee
need not alarm any one and does
not hurt the 'Mexicans' or their
feelings. The truth is that all
sensible 'Mexicans' have quit
voting the Democratic ticket
in this territory, not, however,
on account of the action of a few
ultra and hide bound Democrats
such as are.found in Eddy county,
but for tie better reason that
they, the 'Mexicans,' do not
care to link their destinies with
the party of reaction and of re-
PROGRESSION.
THE natives of New Mexico
of Spanish American descent are
at liberty loving people, they
stand for the protection of hum
an rights, the protection OF
American industries, law, order
and progress.
"A Mexican legislative as
sembly passed the act that Great
ed the county from which comes
lat this time this un-Americau
edict.
/ A Mexican legislature Great

other splendid educational insti.
tutes in this Territory, of which
We are all so proud. Well lei
these fosilized moss backs pass
any rule and regulation that
they may wish to pass, it don't
hurt the 'Mexicans' and in the
meantime the native citizens ol
this Territory will go ahead ant

Effected.

1t is proposed to organize a
cemetery association for Alamo

spOt-graves and weeds. The
AlamOgordO Improvement Com

mean business.
In another place we publish

W. G. HigginbOtham Lost His
Life While Attempting to
Rescue Others.
CHARRED BODY N HALL way
The Grewsome Find Caused Men,
Women and Children to be
Horror StriCkened.

Tuesday morning at 4:80 fire
completely destroyed the Frank
Wertane boarding and rooming
house on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The place was in charge of Will
liam Gatlin who had the place
rented including furnishings,
and was conducting boarding
house.
The house and furnishings
were valued at about 1880 to
$1,000 with 500 insurance OH
house and $3.50 ON contents.
The origin of the fire is a
mystery. The whole place was
in flames before the occupants
could get their clothes on, some
barely escaping through the
windows to their rooms. Mr..
Gatlin himself being severely
burned about head and face in
his attempt to enter room where
his children were asleep, the
children, however, having es-
capped.
After the fire was under con-
troll the grewsOme find was made
of the charred remains of a man
lying face down in the hall way.
The body was Immediately re-
cognized as that of w. G. Hig-
ginbOtham, a boarder and life
long acquaintance of the Gatlin
family. At this horrible dis
covery men, women and children
stood as paralyzed at the thought
of a man being burned to death.
Firemen didn't know of the man
in the burned house and some
had stood within a few feet of
the body while fighting fire. A
cOroner's jury was called to in
vestigate the matter. The theory
was first advanced that the man
had been murdered because of a
pool of blood at the head of the
body. DIR. Miller examined the
body and after the jury had
finished its work the verdict
was that the deceased met death
by coming in contact with live
electric wire, throwing him face
downward in the hall where the
body was burned to a crisp.
Mr.. Gatlin says that the de-
ceased had dressed and left his
room and hearing that the chill
dren were not out made an at
tempt to go to their room when
he came in contact with live
wire. Others say short circuit
was made where he met the wire,
Others say they saw deceased
out side once and that at the
alarm of the Gatlin children be,
ing in the fire he rushed in and
met his horrible death. The
deceased was about 81 years oi
age. He was a blacksmith by
trade. He had been here about
one month, and worked in Tow
ers' shop for a few days. HI
came here from north Texas
His home was in Fannin county
Texas, where his people live
He had some money OH deposit
in First National Bank here
and was known to be q straigh
forward and upright man.
The body was buried here.
