ARIZONA ATTORNEY
FACES SERIOUS CHARGE

Bisbee, Ariz., Dec. IS. X. Will
liams, an attorney and J. G.. Camp
bell, an expressman, have been ar
rested on charge of subornation
of perjury as sequel to the recent
trial of the latter, who killed James
Mclaughlin, another expressman. A
temporary disbarment pending the
outcome of the case has been issued
in the district court against Williams.
At Campbells trial important testi-
mony in his favor was given by a
man named C. B. Buster. Buster de-.
clared under oath that he was an eye
witness to the killing. 1t developed
later that he was not nearby, however,
but at the time was working in mine
two miles distant. Buster was placed
under arrest when 1t became known
that he had given perjured evidence.
He was convicted and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary.
Before being sent to prison Buster
was permitted to address the court.
He stated that he knew as a convict
his words would have little effect, but
he wished to clear his conscience. He
then told that he had been approached
by Williams, Campbell and Charles
Coleman, who offered him $3.50 to tes.
tify that Mclaughlin was the aggres.
sor. Williams, he said coached him
in the story he was to tell and even
gave him two pages of typewriter
matter to commit to memory

Word has been received here of the
accidental death Of Felipe Mora of La

struck by a freight train. Mora was
hit by the locomotive and hurled into
the air some distance from the track.
He was on the side next to the en-.
gine and death is said to have ensued
almost instantly. His companions
were seriously hurt but 1t is reported
that they will recover.
Mora's body was conveyed to the
nearest town where 1t was embalmed
and prepared for shipment to Ciegea.
Attorney Benjamin M. Read Of this
city has been retained by the rela-
tives of the unfortunate man to rep

ages from the railroad company.
The deceased was forty-fve years
of age. He had lived for many years
at ~Cienega and was we'll known in

Worst I ever saw in New Mexico

ment of Colonel George w. Prichard,
who returned a few days ago from a

ing about the recent blizzard that

was especially severe in the Pecos

the same thing over again at Amar-

Those who were about early enough
to see the sun rise this morning, wit
messed the dawning of one of the

creeping from behind the mountains,
made sight fit to restore the health
of any one. The weather today is
perfect for this season of the year
and heavy wraps are not necessary.
At six O'Clock this morning the tenn
perature was 81 degrees and during
the entire night it did not drop below

DR.. SLOAN ON
WITNESS STAND
Said He Loaned Money to Claimants
to Pay Entree Fees and Was
Their Agent.

DR.. J. Fl. Sloan was on the witness
stand all yesterday afternoon and this
morning testifying in the contested
coal entry cases at the local United
States land office. He denied that he
had any interest in the coal lands in
volved except as mortgage and sell
ing agent. He admitted having ad-
vanced money to the claimants to pay
their entry fees and other expenses,
and stated that he had taken the
mortgages to secure himself for this
loan He declared that there were
no irregularities and no attempt to
defraud the government. AS selling
agent he claimed to be acting solely
in the interests of the claimants, and
all the money to be derived from re-
linqnishments was to be turned over
to entrymen less the commissions.
DR.. Sloan's testimony covers about
twenty typewriter pages, but the sal
lent features are his denials of being
the actual owner of the coal lands in
controversy. The Huber case was
concluded at noon today, and hearing
began this afternoon in the case of
the United States VS.. George F. MUIR
ray ct al. The testimony in this
and the other cases scheduled will be
practically the same as in the first
contesting proceedings. A. M. Harter
of FL Paso, co-defendant as lessee
was introduced yesterday as wit.
ness for the defense. Mr.. Murray was
the first called to the stand this after
noon as witness for the government.

COMMITTEE MADE REPORT
To Chamber of Commerce..
Nearly 2 IL Millions
Dollars Involved.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. THE re-
port of the special committee of the
board of trustees of the Chamber of
Commerce on insurance settlements
after the big fire, which was just pub
lished says in part;
IAN immense amount of insurance
money has been paid into this city,
a far larger sum than the companies
have ever been called upon to pay at
any one time before. In spite of the
earthquake, in spite of the nearness of
the time of the Baltimore and Toronto
conflagrations, the companies will un-
donbtedly have finally paid in the
neighborhod of so per cent of the in
surancc involved.
Comparison With Payments in Other
Cities.
At Chicago there was so per ceSt
paid, in Baltimore 80 per cent The
amount of insurance in the burned
district was approximately $235,OOO,-
600 and the value of the buildings and
contents destroyed must have been
about $350,000,000. This is estimated
upon the insurance liability and the
known ratio to value of about 70 per
cent and a guess that about per cent
of the property carried no insurance.

earth Is well soaked to a considerable
depth and will retain moisture until
July of next year. Then the noun
