Lightning's Deadly Work noar Los
Ranches do La Joya

The following account of the
deadly work of lightning at Los

twenty-five miles north of So

5 D. IN. yesterday. Corillo and
his little daughter, whom he
was holding by the hand when
the shock came, were badly
burned about their faces, and
both died instantly. The boy
was running at his fathers side
and he was stunned, recovering
consciousness some hours later.
He will survive, though he is
painfully burned.
Corirllo had started for home
as the storm approached and
with his children was Fastening
as fast as possible to escape the
rain, when suddenly a bolt of
lightning descended. apparently
striking him in the head and
passing from his body through
his arm into the body. of his lit
tie daughter. The bolt then
evidently jumped to the body of
the boy and all three were
thrown to the ground.
Parties, who were passing that
way, picked them up and took
them to Corrillo's home where il
was at once discovered that the
man and little girl were dead.
The boy finally recovered con-
sciou9ness.
Corrillo and his family are
we'll known in this vicinity and
the sad death of the man and
his little daughter are much de-
plored.

THE COUNTY INSTITUTE
Convened in the High School
Building Of this City on Mon
day Morning.
THERE IS GOOD ATTENDANCE
And Interest on Part Of Teachers in
Attendance Is Up to the
Standard.

The Socorro county teachers
institute convened in the high
school building of this city Mon
day morning under the direction
of Superintendent ID. A. Ortega.
Mr.. Ortega had taken all pos IT,
BILE preliminary steps towar,l
making the institute an interest
ing and profitable one to teach
ers who might attend and it is
already evident that his effort
in this direction were not in vain.
The enrolment the first day was
seventeen. The number has
since been increased to twenty
one, end all in attendance are
taking a very lively interest in
the work.
Superintendent Ortega had
chosen E. A. Drake as conductor
of the institute and Miss Watson,
a teacher in the Albuquerque
schools, as assistant. Miss Wat
son is an experienced and skill
ful teacher and the work she is
doing for the teachers of Socor-
70 county is exceedingly valua-
BILE. Her way of conducting a
class of small pupils just begin
ming the first grade could not
easily be surpassed. Not
teacher present will fail to see
some feature of this work well
worthy OF his imitation. All i'll
all, the present Socorro county
teachers institute is proving to
be one of the most interesting
and beneficial ever held in the
county.
The enrolment is as follows:
Mrs. Geo. G. O'Neal, Misses
ID. l.. Harris, Barbarita Chavez,
Marillita Lopez, Edith May
May Crawford, and Messrs.
Apolonio Wales, Gregorio Abey-
ia, T.. M. Chavez, Ciriaco Jojola,
Martin Lopez, John J. Zimmerly,
Jose M. Lopez, Patricio Lopez,
p. A. Marcellino, Avelino Lopez,
David Flores, MaXimo Il. Baca,
Florencio Jiron, Rumaldo Con
zales, Jose ID. Gonzales.

CEMENT WALKS FOR SOCORRO
Sheriff Aniceto C. Abeytia Is the
First to Begin the Needed I'm
provement.

After much agitation of the
subject, Socorro's sidewalks are
at last to be put into a much bet
ter condition. 1t is an unpleas-
ant fact that the city's sidewalks
have for some time been in a
very discreditable condition, and
that is putting it very mildly,
too. But Sheriff Aniceto c.
Abeytia is now setting an exam
pie that others promise to make
haste to follow. Mr.. Abeytia is
having constructed a fine cement
walk in front and on the east
side of his entire brick block at
the corner of Manzanares avenue
and California street. This will
prove to be great improvement
in itself, but that is not all.
Hon. w. +. Martin will at once
follow Mr.. Abeytia's example
and build such n walk in front of
his property on California street,
and the Socorro State Bank is
contemplating a step in the
same direction. If there is no
city ordinance requiring the build
ing of such walks there doubt
less soon will be, so everybody
may as well get ready to make
this much needed improvement
on his property at the very earl
lest date possible.

NOT ANY LUMBER FRAUDS
In New Mexico Says Attorney Gen
eral Fall TO the Ell Paso Herald.

| "NNhNSudD NNCuiHk I'll 1dSC
| Herald contained the following
interesting and significant inter
view with Attorney General A.
b. Fall:
Judge a. b. Fall, attorney
general of New Mexico and gen
eral counsel for w. c. Greene.
returned last evening from a brief
business trip TO Chihuahua.
Judge Fall has entirely recovered
from his recent illness and en-.
Ioyed Tie trip into Mexico.
NO LAND FRAUDS.
Judge Fall was asked if he
intended to investigate the al
legged land and timber frauds in
New Mexico.
As far as know there are
not anv land and timber frauds
in New Mexico, said Judge Fall.
There have been some evasions
but no cases like those in Oregon
have occurred. When the United
States government gave the Ter
ritory land to be disposed of for
school and public institutions,
the provision was made that lots
not to exceed 100 acres were to
be sold to any individual. The
Alamogordo Lumber Company
has acquired 10000 acres each by
individuals and by them trans
ferred to the lumber company.
When the land was sold it was
known that it was TO be acquired
by the lumber company. There
was no secret about it. The
territory received a good price
for the land, probably more than
It was worth.
U. s. SHOULD KEEP HANDS OFF.
Since that contract was made
what are called special agents or
detectives of the United States
government have spread the re-
port that land frauds were oc-
curing in the Territory and as IA
result the United States has
brought suit against the lumber
company, the officials of the Ter |
ritory and the Territory itself. 1t |
is my opinion that the United |
States should not interfere. The |
land was given to the Territory |
and think that the Territory |
should have the right to dispose |
of it as it deems best. | think |
that the time is not far off when
the dispute between the govern
ment and the Territory will be
adjusted.
IF | should find that land
frauds are being practiced in the
Territory | will unhesitatingly
prosecute the violators of the law.
Concerning the reported coal
land frauds / will say these lands
are owned by the Uuited States
and the law governing their dis
posal is different from that gov
crning the sale of the timber
lands which were given the Ter
ritory. In one case where an in
dictment has been returned the
evidence seems to be very strong
against the defendant"

THE JACQUES.

The attraction at the Jacques next week will be Tn Mizzoura, August us Thomas great play of western life which was originally written as a starring vehicle for. Nat Goodwin. The public accustomed to comedy role for Nathaniel refused him as the slow going sheriff of the Missouri hills and the piece was abandoned as far as Goodwin was concerned. It answered the purpose of introducing MT Thomas to an enthusiastic public and its life without nominal star and in stock service has been one of complete satisfaction. This will be the first production of the play here and as 1t possesses story of the most absorbing kind a tremendous week s business is anticipated. A special scenic production has been made and the setting of the piece is perfect. The cast of characters will be found nicely balanced and the distribution of parts has been made with an eye to an evenly played performance. Miss Nordstrom will be seen as the blacksmith's daughter and Richard Gordon as the sheriff. The comedy roles will be played by May Abbey and Philip Bishop. Prices are popu- lar.

Imagine a delicate pink ground shading to a pink just shade deeper behind the graceful sprays of apple blossoms which are scattered over the surface, their pink petals melting into the pink background and their faintly green leaves giving just the needed touch of relieving color in the har- mony of pink and white.

Vegetables or Meat?

Do vegetables feed the brain suf- ficiently?" is question often asked.
 To this many brainworker will re- ply, No" So with them 1t is a ques- ton of brains versus beauty. Would you rather be beautiful with little brains, or brainy and ugly? That is something for each individual to settle alone. Ruskin tried vegetarianism for three years, and finally gave it up, di- recting that all work during that time be destroyed. Gladstone tried 1t three days and gave 1t up. Bismarck wanted to try it, but never did. King Edward thinks 1t good. but not for himself. Many of our statesmen have followed it for a while, but few have stuck to it. But from a pretty girls stand. point. 1t clears the complexion and does great many other things.
