District Attorneys Latest Moves
in Case Show He Fears
Jury's Verdict.
DEFENDANTS COUNSEL WILL
FIGHT AGAINST COMMISSION
Long -Drawn-0ut Legal Battle Is
Expected to Last Two
Weeks Longer.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The Thaw
trial enters its seventh week Monday,
and il would seem that unless some rad
ical change III the course of procedure
occurs il will last two weeks more.
That District Attorney Jerome has
no intention Of letting the case go TO
the Jury if he can possibly prevent 1t,
there appears no longer to be the sem
blance of a doubt. The prosecutor has
made il perfectly plain that he would
rather have the matter come before
commission on lunacy. Mr. Jerome does
not believe that Thaw is IN proper
condition of mind to be on trial. Time
after time when Mr.. Delmas, the lead
ing attorney for the defense, has inter
rupted him during his cross-examinati tion
of witnesses with objections of various
kinds Mr.. Jerome has retorted hotly:
''You forced me into this.
The District Attorney especially had
no taste for the cross-examination of
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, He endeavored to
avoid it by having the experts testify
first. hoping to gain from them enough
important admissions as to Thaw S pres
ent state of-mind upon which 10 predi-
cate an application for commission IN
lunacy and the suspension of the trial.
Mr.. Jerome realizes that he must be
sure of his gro und before asking for a
commission and he consequently will not
take that step until some of the State g
alienists have gone npon the stand.

Last Sunday, next Sunday and

g. E. Warren, junior brother of
the firm. Mr.. Warren says the
people demand tand he will ac-
commodate the people to the
best of his ability. We under
stand that quite a number are in
favor of some place being open
on Sunday, more especially a
drug store. Daily papers, cold
drinks, or anything Of the kind
usually sold at drug stores are
what the people want, 50 We are
told. Some oppose Sunday
opening Of even drug store,
but w. Il. Warren Il Bro. are
running their business to suit
themselves and for the public,
and we are willing to allow them
the privilege of running their

The Best Possible Advertise
nlent.

AT the June meeting of the
directors of the Citizens Nation
al bank of Alamogordo it was
ordered that the entire profits of
the bank be thrown into the sur
plus fund, the profits amounting
to $2032.00. The Citizens bank
opened its doors for business on
September 1st, 1906, and from
the general record of newly es-
tablished National banks for first
years business we think the
Citizens National has done re-
markably well, which is a true
index to the financial standing
of Alamogordo and this country.
Men ofmoney and business ex-
perience know that national
banks rarely ever make money
for first years business, but loose
money, that is, do not accumu-
late profits. Hence we say that
the showing of this new national
bank is the best possible adver-
tisement for this section of coun.

Fire Sweeps Dlshee, Arizona.

Bisbee, Arizona, June 29.-
This city was visited by q con-
flagration today which burned
over an area of ten acres, de-
stroying 200 residences in what
is known as the chihuahua Sec
tion of the city, consuming a
portion of the business section
and doing damage which will ap-
proximate half a million dollars.
The blaze started in the Colo
RADIO hotel from the explosion of
a gasoline stove. The flames,
famed by high wind, spread
rapidly and the firemen were
greatly handicapped by a short
age of water. Soon the fire got
beyond control and assistance
was asked for from nearby towns
as it was thought the whole city
would be destroyed.
As last resort dynamite was
used to check the flames and
this was successful, the fire be.
ing under dontrol at noon.
So far as known no lives were
lost, although several were in.
jured and many overcome by
heat and smoke.

How We Celebrated.

We didn't make those speech
es nor gather at the park for din
ner, but we hung out flags,
wrapped bunting around awning
poles, closed our business houses
and went home and enjoyed a
quiet day of rest with our fami-
lies.
The county health authorities
were kicked at because of kill
ing the regular 4th of July pro-
gram, but this paper says that
the county health authorities
have done exactly right. From
the way some have criticised
they appear to be disappointed
because we have had only one
death from scarlet fever in Ala
mogordo. Tularosa has had go
cases and 20 deaths. Alamo
gordo could have 600 cases and
200 deaths if the disease should
get started here. Yes, we GER
tainly endorse the action Of our
authorities. If not another case
develops here how much better
it will be for us.
So, if we didn't have any 4th
jubilee we are doing the right
thing by safeguarding the lives
of our children.

brave man and fearless and
capable officer.
He is serving his fifth term as
sheriff Of Colfax county, a posi-
tion he has filled with entire
credit. His appointment as sup
erintendent to succeed Trelford
| is not a surprise. 1t was neces-
sary to find man with a record
| far the position and Mr.. Littrell
| has a clear record behind him.
He is a lifelong friend Of Gov

to have had much to do with lIis
selection by Reynolds. The

tiary.

and drank a quantity of water, as
it fell dead after going a mile and
a half. Ontiveroz is about so
years of age, and Duran is a young
