well claims that while simply being
held in the penitentiary pending the
giving of a bail bond, he was made to
don stripes and work in the prison by
Trelford. Trelford says that Caldwell
was a regularly committed convict.
Timothy Breen, formerly an official
of the prison, testified that William
Meyers a convict, was brutally and in
hunma1ly treated at the penitentiary.
Mr.. Breen in his testimony today,
contradicted dozens of times the state
ments made in the affidavit. He ad-
mitted that the affidavit was drawn
up by Prichard in Prichard's Office,
and signed by him at Prichard's re-
quest. He stated On cross examina-
ton that instead of getting an order
to Stirring up Meyers directly after ne
went to the bath Don window, it was
several days afterward. He then SAT-
that Meyers stood on his feet instead
of being suspended, and instead of be
ing tied up all day was released for
an hour at noon
Mr.. Prichard by all kinds of leading
questions tried to get the witness to
support his affidavit and say he re-
ceived orders tic give the man bread
enough only to keep him alive. Breen,
however, did not make this statement
in his Testimony. Prichard also tried
to get him to repeat the statement in
40 - az +lo+ 01-o- loot R~rL
but failed. In his testimony he did
not connect Trelford with the Ease
at all until Oh the seventeenth day of
the punishment alleged. Breen admit
not spoken to Sample or Knight for
some time previous to the time he
left the prison. He further said that
Sample and Knight had it in for
him." The witness spite against Sam
pie appears to be the chief motive of
his testimony.
The statements of the witness were
sworn to in the hearing before R. l..
Baca, a candidate for Trelford's job,
he be removed, and n OF the
right hand men of the gang.
1t was a noteworthy fact that the
Santa Fe New Mexican had no repOr-
ter at the hearing. 1t was also motto
ed by many people that the attorney
general called at the office of the New
Mexican about 4 p m, and that the
New Mexican contained an cou of
the hearing bearing all the earmarks
Mr.. Prichard. No attempt is being
made to give the semblance of legal
ity or regularity to the hearing.

DEMING STILL AFTER
THAT ARTESlAN WATER

The people of Deming are determ-
ined to secur artesian TT if it is
to be had in their locality, as the fol
lowing from the Deming Graphic will
testify:
The artesian we'll will go on farther
down. While the first contract of 1900
feet has been completed, a new con-
tract tive the citizens of Deming
and Mr.. E. E. Burdick has been en-
tered into and signed, which is in eff
feet that if the citizens of the town
will raise an additional amount of
1900 Mr.. Burdick will put up a like
sum-. With this amount of SO, 200 the
well can be drilled to a depth of 1000
feet.
The chances that artesian water
will be gotten before or by the time
that depth is reached are very favor
able.
The we'll which is now a little over
1900 feet, should by every reason be
pushed on down until the arteSian
flow is struck or all hope of getting it
is practically lost.
The committee is now out soliciting
for the additional amount to carry on
the drilling. Let all show a loyal spir
it and give as literally as their circum
stances will admit.

THE FIRST SESSION

The Albuquerque Journal gives the
following account of the first hearing
of the charges against Superinten-
dent Trelford, Oh the territorial pen
itentiary:
AT the opening session of the in
vestigation' of Superintendent Arthur
Trelford, of the territorial prison to-
day the full animus of the whole
scheme was made plainly evident by
the remarkable behavior of Attorney
General Prichard, the right-hand man
of the old Bursum regime, before
whom the alleged hearing is being
held. The most interesting develop
melts of the day were the fac that
the affidavit of Breen, the ex-prison
official. who makes charges against
Trelford, was written some weeks ago
by the attorney general himself and
signed at the attorney generals re-
quest by Breen in the office; and
that Breen, in his testimony at the
hearing fatty c~ontradicted many state
ments in his affidavit, which was made
May % last.
The attorney general sent Mr.. Trel-
ford a letter yesterday stating that the
hearing before him would open at 9
o'clock June 10, and telling Trelford,
You may be present if you so desire"
Mr.. Trelford secured the services of
Attorney r. H. Hanna, to defend him
The hearing finally began at 9:45 and
lasted an hour n a quarter.

ing the hearing held before the attor-
irregular, without sanction in law and
a violation of section 2499 of the ter
ritorial laws relating to such hear
ilgs. Mr.. Hanna also objected on
the ground hat it is a well-known
fact that Prichard is a political oppo-
nent and enemy of Trelford, before
whom it is a notorious fact hat Trel-
ford will not receive a fair hearing.
Mr. Hanna further stated that Mr..
Trelford had secured information lead
ing him to believe THAT undue inffu-
ence had been brought to bear to in
luce false testimony on the part OF
witnesses, by the men in charge of
the investigation.
MIR Hanna, while stating his objec-
lions was interrupted by Attorney Gen
eral Prichard, who showed consider
able temper and was not at all choice
in his language.
Strike out all that objection from
the record" he said, b~rusquely, to
Frank ]. Shearon, his stenographer.
Il want you to understand" said the
attorney general, that l am running
this investigation under the authority
of Acting Governor Reynolds, n |
propose to run it"
Mr. Hanna then sent for stenogra-
pher E. A. Johnson to act for the de
Tense. MIR. Hanna then went on with
his objections, and asked cave to re
duce them II writing.
Reduce them to writing if you want
to- snapped the attorney general,
they will be overruled anyhow"
Mr.. Prichard acted as the prosecut-
ing attorney, put all the questions to
the witnesses, expressed audible salts
faction when the answers were unfa-
vorable to Trelford, prompted the wit
nesses and asked leading questions
constantly. Breen was the only wit
ness. The affidavit of Breen was 40
introduced at the hearing, nor was
that of Thomas Caldwell, who makes
vague charges against FTelford. Cald

TIPPYUPS.

Kenoyer brought in the first

|he made the first score.
Chamness' three-baggers are
the admiration of all. Not a game
this season has he failed to knock
one. The one he slugged Sunday
afternoon was at an opportune
time.
There is much grief in Scam
mon and a corresponding amount
of Joy in Baxter Springs.
We were pleased to see so large
an attendance. The home team
deserves encouragement. There
has not been a punk game on the
home grounds this season.
Harlan played his own game
and he did good work not only by
throwing high curves, which
Scammon could not fathom, but
| he fielded the center of the dia'
mond to perfection. Harlan il
easily the peer of any pitcher the
home team has ever had.

and a good game was played.

II was a great day for Baxter
Springs and her Invincibles, the
best amateur ball team in the
Southwest. They lifted the scalp
from the Scammon Maroons, and
won the game by score of ? to 1.
The game was a pretty contest
from start to finish, and there was
very large crowd out to see the
contest.
Last year the Scammon team
beat the Baxter boys, and once
this season they repeated the
dose. The Baxter boys did not
relish the idea so another game
was matched, and it was pulled
off Sunday.
Much interest was manifested
all week, and long before the
game was called Sunday the
grand stand was filled, and every
inch of available space was filled
with rigs of every description.
Glasner umpired the game and
his decisions were fair.
In the first inning each side got
a score, but after that it was eggs
nntil the last half of the ninth,
when Chamness knocked his fam
GUS three-bagger. AS there were
no outs, things looked good to the
Baxterites, and when Harlan went
to bat and knocked a fly it was
pie for Baxter and Chamness came
lin after the fly was caught.
The score:
