OFFICER KILLED?
Sergeant Lewis In Pursuit OF Jail
Breaker Has Been Missing Two
Months.

Sergeant r. w. Lewis, of the New
Mexico Mounted Police, has in all
probability been murdered by cattle
rustlers. Nearly two months ago Ser
geant Lewis started for the Republic
of Mexico in pursuit Of Howard Chen
oworth, an escaped prisoner from the
Silver City Jail. The sergeant had Sc.
cured information which led him to
believe that Chenoworth had gone in
that direction. While en- route he met
a party consisting Of four rangers
from Texas, who were in pursuit Of
cattle rustlers. Lewis joined their
party. Captain John F. Fullerton then
heard nothing from him for month.
The Texas officers returned some time
ago from Mexico but Sergeant Lewis
kept up the pursuit, 1t Is believed,
alone. A few weeks after he had
started on the journey, one of his chill.
dren was severely burned and later
died from the effects of the injuries.
Captain Fullerton sent out kilograms
broadcast in an effort to find Lewis
but without success. He has been alb.
sent for so long that 1t is feared that
he has been killed. Captain Fullerton
said that the sergeant would hardly
have remained absent for such a
length Of time without reporting by
letter or telegram.

HANGS ON, MONDAY.
End Of Coney Reprieve viii Termi.
nate on That Day-Law Gov
erning Case.

John Conley will be hanged on Mon
day the twenty-sixth of this month I'm.
less something unforeseen happens.
The reprieve of the condemned man
granted by Governor Hagerman on Fri
day the sixteenth day of February will
carry the execution date until that
time. Judge N. B. Laughlin called
attention today to the provisions of
the compiled laws of New Mexico, 1897,
in which on page 752 and section 2SOO,
division seventh, the following is
found:
"In computing time the first day
shall be excluded and the last includ.
ed. unless the last falls on Sunday, in
which case the time prescribed shall
be extended so as to include the whole
of the following Monday"
This clearly indicates that the ex-
piration of the ten days in Governor
Hagerman's reprieve would fall on
Monday, but in addition the statute al
so specifies that if the last day had
come on Sunday the time would have
been extended to Monday, ipso facto.
The construction Of the statute
above quoted. therefore. means that
the sheriff Of Taos County, under his
oath of Office. will perform the duty Of
executing the sentence of the court in
the COnley case and under the reprleve
granted by Governor Hagerman on
Monday the Goth instant, four days
hence. There Is no indication at this
time that Governor Hagerman will in
terfere In the case.

at nearly million dollars, besides
Gripping many commercial and manu-

All the evening papers are without

The origin of the fire which com
pletely gutted the building is not posi-
lively determined. Workmen who
were in the building at the time say
there was flash followed by a sheet
of flames and in few minutes the
flames broke through the roof. The
impression is that some dynamo be-
came overcharged and exploded.
The burned station was in the heart
of the city.
During the progress of the fire six
teen persons were hurt, only one, Will

Unique among the many organiza
tons Of settlers and hOmeseekers in
the southwest, is the Bohemian colony
founded by Max. Kirchman at Socorro
which in all human probability will be
"a success. The American Bohemian
Association, which is the proper title
is now in position to accomplish the
purposes for which it was organized
The first annual meeting OF the
stockholders was held at the home Of
flee in SocOrro, January s, and after
adopting by laws and transacting the
necessary business affairs, the mem
bers elected board of directors con.
sisting of the following:
Chairman Max Kirchman; board
members, John Greenwald, Joseph e.
Smith and William G. Hammel, well
known SocOrro business men; II, J.
Sistek, Robert L. Pitte and Alexander
Purer, of Chicago.
This board promptly met and select.
ed the following officers: President,
+. J. Sistek; vice president, John
Greenwald; second vice president, Jos.
eph e. Smith secretary, Max. Kirch-
man; treasurer, Robert l.. Pitte; tinan.
cial secretary, William G. Hammel;
general manager, Max. Kirchman,
with Office at Socorro; purchasing and
immigration agent, Alexander Purer,
with Office at Chicago.
These officers represent some of the
best business ability and integrity that
SocorrO and Chicago have to Offer
Future Bright.
AS a result the people of SocOrro
and Socorro County feel that the flu
ture of the new colony which is to
form an integral part of that commun.
ity, will prosper for all time. Mr..
Kirchman being the general manager
will reside in Socorro AS he expressed
it, he expects ''to get busy and keep
busy"
The idea of locating permanent i'm
migration and purchasing agent in Chi
cago, Is considered good and makes a
departure in this sort Of an organiza
ton. In this manner, those who wish
to come to the southwest will find that
by writing a letter stating what they
want, they can have all arrangements
made for them without the expense of
taking trip through the country be.
fore locating.
Robert l.. Pitte who is in charge of
the financial part of the colony, is a
Chicago banker and real estate dealer
who is said to stand high in business
circles in the Windy City. He is prom.
inent among observation-disclosures and
has the confidence of all. President F
J. Sistek is a member of the Pilsen
Brewing Company with headquarters
in Chicago and his enthusiasm re-.
garding the future of the Sunshine
Territory" marks him as a probable
resident of New Mexico. The Socorro
members of the organization are too
we'll known to need greater endorse
ments.
Fitted For Place.
Max. Kirchman, whose brain it was,
that first conceived the idea of the
unique organization, is man of good
business qualifications, we'll fitted
mentally, morally and physically for
the position he holds. He was born in
Bohemia and received his education in
the city of Vienna. He came to the
United States while yet young man
in 1871 where he settled with his par
ents at Philadelphia. Later he went
to Chicago and engaged in the manu-.
facture OF candy which was then a
very profitable undertaking. Seven
years after arriving in America he
married Miss Emma Hardtmayer.

Women OF Ancient Rome.

I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge, that there were
women in ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had Juvenal tells
of one woman who had married eight
husbands in five years. Divorce was
granted on the slightest preteXt. Many
separated merely from love of change,
disdaining to give any reason, like
Hlmilius Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives were not
much sought after by wise men. Their
complete emancipation made them diff
icult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives were objec-
tionable, the large majority of men
never married at all. In most cases a
Roman bridegroom knew practically
nothing of his wife's character until
after marriage. Marriage for the Ro-
man woman meant a transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as a matter of
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not She could go
where she liked either to the temples of
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
of slaves. over whom she ruled without
interference"

0Chnmofnv SkIna.

Charles c. Druedling has written an
article in the Journal of Pharmacy on
chamois skins. The commercial article
of that name, he says, Is really oil
tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The
supply of skins from the chamois ami
NAL is very limited. Enough could not
be obtained in year to supply the
United States for more than a single
day. He made special inquiry on a
visit to Switzerland about the annual
crop of the chamois skins and ascer-
tanned that from 5000 to 5000 skins
would be a fair average yearly crop.
This skin is heavier than the skin of
the sheep or lamb. also much coarser.
For strength and durability the cham
OILS skin is preferable. but for ordi-
nary use and appearance the oil tanned
sheepskin lining would in most in
stances be preferred.

1--WE KNEAD DOUGH. .

We have done our best to make the
Troy News such a paper as the people
OF Troy and vicinity would not be
ashamed Of, and have built up print

paper growing just as the town and
country around keeps developing. We
want to make the Troy News just as
large and good as we possibly can, and
we need the united support of the
people to make the growth possible.
We not only ask you to become regu-
lar subscriber, OF perhaps an advertiser,
but we need your moral support. We
want you to feel that you have per-
sonal interest in the paper. That it
belongs to Troy and the country around
and that it will pay you to support it.
Perhaps it may not always agree with
you in everything. You don't want a
paper that will. The News is with you
in the upbuilding Of the entire Potlatch
country and that is the only essential
thing. Not only ought you to feel
friendly to your paper, but you ought
to feel so friendly that you will keep
your subscription paid up year in ad-
vance and then order copy sent to

preciate a word from the county you

may happen to owe on your paper.

The way to build up a town is for
everyone in the place to work together
and boost for everything in the town.
When stranger visits the town tell
him you live in the best town you
ever saw. Tell him that the citizens
are the most progressive in forty-nine
states, and that you wouldn't leave the
town for a brick block on Wall street,
New York. II you don't feel that way
about your home town mlve to some
place where you can boost and then

An exchange says that the best as
set town can have is a good live
local paper. 1t helps TO keep peol lie
awake to the good things the town
offers and can encourage the citizens
in every laudable undertaking. If a
town has such paper it is indeed
fortunate and ought to give the paper
loyal support. 1t pays to make your
home paper just as thrifty and pros
porous as possible because a town is
usually judged by the kind OF a paper
it supports.
