To the Honorable William H. Pope,
Judge of the Fifth Judicial Dis
trict, of the Territory of New Mex
leo, sitting within and for this Jul
dicial District, April, 1906, term:
We the Federal Grand Jurors, Sc
lected to serve at this term of court,
respectfully submit the following re-
port:
We have examined eighteen cases;
have found eleven true bills, and six
no bills, one of which we return in
court, and refer one case to the
next Federal grand jury
The jury begs leave to report that
during the course of its sittings it
has examined into the charges
brought against the Pecos Valley
and Northeastern Railroad relating
to the discrimination in freight rates
on certain commodities shipped into
this community in comparison with
the rates charged on the same COM
modities shipped into neighboring
towns While no particular Act of
Congress has been brought to our
attention covering this matter and
making it an unlawful act, we be-
lieve that the discrimination is un-
just. We think that if the rates
charged to shippers i'm neighboring
communities are remunerative, then
the rates charged to shippers in this
community are excessive, thereby
putting an unjust burden on the peo-
pie living in this community
We deem it our duty, therefore. to
call this matter to the attention of
the Court, and request that this part
of this report be laid before the In
terstate Commerce Commission with
a view to the correction of this in
justice and recommending that some
relief be afforded.
This Grand Jury further begs
leave to report, that i1 mas examined

Grosvenor Clarkson Special Agent
of the Interior Department who has
been here for some time making in
vestigations as to alleged land frauds
was attacked Saturday night at 10
O'Clock on Main Street by William
Overstreet who knocked him down
and truck him in the face several
times. Clarkson was stunned and
did not have a chance to offer any
resistance. Charley Albert pulled

Investigations made by Clarkson as
to alleged crookedness in filing on
land. The Indictment against Over
street was abated at a jury trial at
the last term of the United States
court, at which time fourteen other
indictments against the Taflmadge's
and others were abated. Overstreet
was seen by a Record reporter and
told his side of the story. He said
that Clarkson before and after the
indictment had been abated, talked
about him in an uncomplimentary
manner and poked fun at him for be-
ing arrested and indicted. He claim
led that Clarkson's manner to him
was not well relished and that he
started to talk the matter over
with Clarkson and asked him why he
had been talking about him. He
claimed that Clarkson walked back
and looked at him in an insulting
manner and said, "Who are your"
What are you going to do about p
or words to that effect and that he
then struck Clarkson in the face.

that it is a penitentiary offense to

the glasses before he struck him.

morning it was decftied to drop fur

Collecting All Refugees into Smaller
Number of Camps.

San Francisco, Cal, May 7.-After
a quiet Sunday, the people today re-
sumed the work of relieving the dis
ton of the city. 1t was decided to col
lect the refugees into the smallest
possible number of large camps. The
relief situation from-the army's view
point was today summarized by the
following statement from Gen Gree
ley: "On Friday last rations were is
sued to 273.631 persons, and on Sat
urday to 23O,2O7, and the acquisitions
for Sunday were 264, $40, but the ac-
tual issue will probably show a de-
crease from Fridays figures"
