LIVESTOCK MARKETS,

Kansas City Stock Yards, Mo-, Sept.
20, 19O7.-With railroads better equip
ped to handle stock than in any recent
year, cattle receipts are running very
heavy for September. The supply last
week was 10000 head here, including
II 900 calves, and the market naturally
shaded downward. The run today is
1000, including 1000 calves; market
weak to l0c lower. Prime fed steers
have lost nothing, one lot selling today
at S7.25, the highest price this year, and
grass westerns are also holding up
good, and meet strong demand and
ready sale. One lot of 10000. pound
steers from eastern Colorado brought
S4.25 to-day, shipment out OF the same
bunch selling at the same figure week
ago Mountain cattle have been scarce.
different strings selling to killers at
$4.55 to $3.50 the first part of last
week, and some medium to common
steers Friday at So. 90, few panhandle
steers to killers lately around 81 90.
Cows and heifers are 20 to 35 cents low
er than 10 days ago, including decline
of 10 cents today. Colorados have sold
recently at So 90 to $3.45, panhandle
cows mainly at So. 80 to So. 20, heifers up
to So. so, veals slightly lower than last
week, up to $3.50, heavy calves were off
25 cents at SO rs to $3.50, bulls So. 40 to
S3.25. Trade in stockers and feeders last
week was the heaviest of the year, 1l25
carloads going to country points. The
market declined 10 to 25 cents and is
slightly lower today; some choice 95O-
pound Colorado feeders at S4.65; others
downward to $3.50; panhandle stock
steers 1896 to $425
Supplies of sheep and lambs were
heavy last week at 46, 600 head, and the
market declined Il to 25 cents. The
run is small to-day, at 5000 head; the
market is steady, with western lambs
selling at 81 to $40, feeding lambs
$3.50 to $6.s5, fat yearlings $500 to
$3.50, feeding yearIngs $3.50 to s. rs,
fat ewes up to S., 40, ewes for the coun-
try at S4.75 to S5.25. Country buyers
bought literally last week, and killers
bought freely up to Friday, when at
tempts were made to break the market,
without success, as shippers were ad.
vised to hold off day or two. which ac-
counts for the light run to day. The
situation will be alright soon, as the out
let is of sufficient width to allow free
passage to liberal supplies.

intimated that perjury and bri-
berry could be added to the fore
going. In support of his perjury
and bribery charge Judge Whar-
ton brought to the attention of
the jury a peculiar and in a
measure a most remarkable state
of affairs existing between Pride
more and the FL Captain Land
and Cattle company. There is
an Indictment in Roswell against
Pridemore for an alleged en-
bezzlement of cattle valued at
$17, 900 from the FL Captain
company. On the other hand
Pridemore has instituted pro-
ceedings against the FL Captain
company in the sum of $500
for alleged money due as re-
suit of a cattle transaction.
Judge Wharton declared to the
jury that Pridemore would have
carried out his first intention
and promise of testifying in be-
half of the I.eslies if he had not
been approached by the manager
of the cattle company and a
proposition made looking to an
amicable settlement of the in
dictment and claim, providing
he would become a witness for
the prosecution. Pridemore's
testimony favored the prosecu-
tion.

POsTOFFIOE FOR SACRAMENTO CITY

a petition signed by over fifty per-
sons has been presented to the authori
ties at Washington, asking that post
Office be established at Sacramento City
to be named, Camp postOflice, the appi.
cation having been endorsed by Post
master Hawkins, of AIamogordo. Con-
Sidering the fact that this place six
months ago was inhabited only by prai-
rie dogs, it is only another evidence of
the wonderful growth of New Mexico.
In this connection it is interesting to
find that since January of this year
sixty eight new postollices have been
established in the territory. No one in.
dication of progress and settlement can
be cited that gives a better understand
ing of the rapdity of progress in the
great southwest.

SENA'S RECORD BREAKING
ADDRESS TO THE JURY

But few people who attended the Les
lie trial in the district court this week
have an appreciation or conception of
Interpreter George Sena's work in trans
ating the addresses of four rapid-tir
attorneys to the jury. For eight con
secutive hours Mr.. Sena repeated in
Spanish what these four lawyers stated
in English. Did you ever try to repeat
after an orator, word for word, an ad-
dress in English without emitting or
making a mistake? Do you know that
without long experience it is an impos-
sbiity? If it is difficult in English then
YOU can realize how much more so it is
to translate into foreign language
the rapidly uttered address of a lawyer
without faltering; an address so rapidly
uttered that it is with difficulty the
listener follows the speaker in English.
And to add to the difficulty OF Mr.. Sena's
feat was the necessity of employing diff
fereut words tC convey the same mean
ing. Mr.. Sena is man of powerful
build and considerable vitality, but at
the close of translating Judge Mann's
instructions to the jury he looked like a
person who wouldn't refuse ''lttle OF
the same"

OVERFLOW OF ENTHUSIASM
News Fountain Plan Receives Endorse.
meHt Of Prominent Citizens.
IS YOUR NAME IN THIS WEEKS LIST !

Since the publication in the
News of last Saturday of the
plan to build a public fountain
in Alamogordo, the project has
met with the hearty approval
and general support of the citi-
zens who appreciate the neces-
sity for a public convenience of
this character.
While the merchants and bus
mess men generally have made
willing and generous subscrip-
tions to the fund, it is disap-
pointing to note the apathy Of
individuals who seem to either
lack public spirit and pride, or
are not in sympathy with the
effort to provide a drinking place
for man and beast.
In one of the recent published
letters sent the News the COM
plant was made that "the cor
poration" was selfshly with
holding the opportunities for
apublic drinking fountain, claim
ing that it would interfere with
the sale of liquor at the saloon.
The corporation did not, and
does not now control the saloon,
and the disposition of this same
corporation is best shown by the
fact that the water works com
pany has agreed to furnish free
of charge the water for the pro-
posed public fountain, not only
for persons to quench their thirst,
which would require very little
water, but will supply the water
for teams and animals, which
makes the offer of the corpora
ton an exceedingly generous
one.
Another refutation of the less
water, more booze" charge made,
is the very generous Subscrip-
tion to the fountain fund by W. H.
Gleason, who owns and controls
the saloon. The natural conclu-
sion seems to be, in view of the
above facts, that these same in
dividuals who made the charges
just mentioned, do not want a
drinking fountain, and by their
failure up to date to subscribe
one cent to the fund or use their
efforts and influence to secure it.,
are evidently willing that the
public should visit the saloon.
The utter inconsistency of their
position is remarkable in view Of
the radical stand taken by them
within the past two weeks, and
if they ignore this opportunity
to assist in accomplishing what
they have been clamoring for,
the thinking public will un-
doubtedly draw its own conclu-
sions.
The subscriptions have been
coming in steadily during the
week, the following list showing
the previous subscriptions and
those added during the week:

LESLIES ARE FOUND GUILTY
Celebrated Cattle SteaIIns Case Decided
After Stubborn Fight.
PENALTY FROM ONE TO FIVE YEARS

The jury in the Leslie cattle
stealing case after deliberating
eighteen hours returned ver-
diet of guilty. This is the third
trial, the two previous juries
disagreeing, and brings to close
a case which has caused consid-
erable i'll feeling among cattle
men, and has cost the territory
thousands of dollars.
The trial lasted week, Bur-
ney and Holt, special counsel,
representing the territory, and
Wharton and Lawson the de-
PENDANTS.
In his closing argument for the
defense of the Leslies, Judge
Wharton characterized the pros
ecution as the most dastardly at
tempt on the part of com bined
capital to railroad innocent men
to the penitentiary in the history
Of New Mexico. He claimed the
territory was behind the prose-
cution i'll name only; that the
district attorney was relegated
to the rear; that the territory,
after two trials and two hung ju-
ries, was willing to abandon the
prosecution; but that the relent-
less and malicious persecution
of the FL Captain Land and Cat
tie company would not cease un-
til the defendants were acquit-
ted or sent to the penitentiary.
He related the difficulty the de-
fense had encountered during the
past two years in securing the
return of Tom Pridemore from
Old Mexico, who was manager of
the Block ranch at the time of
the alleged cattle stealing, and
who, as the main witness for the
defense, was depended on to tes-
tify, and had so promised to tes-
tify, that as manager of the
Block ranch he authorized the
Leslies to kill the cattle in ques-
| tion; how the railroad fare of
the witness to return was paid
by the defense; also his hotel
expenses; of the willingness of
Pridemore to testify for the de-
fense up to 6 O'Clock Monday
evening, at which time he is al
legged to have haG conversation
with the manager of the Block
ranch, which resulted in Pride
more stealthily departing for
Ell Paso. When Pridemore failed
to appear as a witness for the
defense the prosecution claimed
that his disappearance was the
fulfillment of the defense's plan
to prevent him from testifying
that he had not authorized the
Leslies to kill cattle.
The defense proved to the
satisfaction of the court that it
had no hand in Pridemore's dis
appearance, whereupon the pro-
secution effected Pridemore's
arrest in Ell Paso, state of Texas,
and he was returned to Alamo
gordo by Detective Rynerson of
FL Paso. The prosecution there
upon placed Pridemore on the
witness stand and he denied
having made any contract with
or authorizing the Leslies to kill
Block ranch cattle, or of having
promised to so testify. At this
point is where Judge Wharton
characterized the prosecution as
dastardIy persecution, that the
whole proceedings were reeking
with conspiracy, intrigue, and

MARBLE COMPANY LAUNCHED
Eastern Capital Takes Over FaIcone Har
bic Property.
INESHAUSTIBlE SUPPLY NOW IN SIGHT

1t is said that "A prophet is
without honor in his own coun-
try" and in the same way Ala
mOgordo has been, until now,
neglecting one of the most valu-
able natural products in this
country. The marble quarry
owned by Frank Falcone, in
marble canyon, just east of Ala
mOgordo, contains millions of
cubic feet of the very finest and
purest marble, which for monu-
mental and general building pur-
| poses can not be equaled in this
country. Mr.. Falcone has made
repeated efforts to interest To-
cal capital in the proper devel-
opment of this quarry, and seem
ingly our citizens and business
men overlooked a very good
thing from financial stand
point, to say nothing of the
great benefit it would be to Ala
mogordO in business way. We
are authorized to announce that
plans have been perfected where
by very ample capital has been
secured from st. Louis to devel-
op and equip these quarries with
the latest types of stone working
machinery, and place the entire
proposition upon firm business
like basis.
A stock company is being form
ed, composed of st. Louis men,
and not less than SIS, 600 will be
expended in placing the proper
ties i'll first class shape to handle
large volume Of outside bus
mess which is sure to follow.
One of two plans will be adopt
ed in connection with transport
ing the marble to the 4. 2. & S.
w. Ry., whose tracks are Just
about three and one-half miles
directly west of the quarry, and
as there is uniform down grade
from the quarries to the railroad,
the loaded cars can be delivered
to the main track by gravity
alone, the new company putting
in their own tracks for the pur-
pose, or they may decide to ac-
cept an offer of the 4. z. q S. W.
company to build the spur track
to the quarries. In either event
the cost of placing loaded cars
on the main track of the E. 2. d
s. W. will be reduced to min
imum.
Electric power will be used to
operate the entire plant the cur
rent for which will be secured
from the new hydro electric plant
which M. H. Fisher of Alamo
gordo is preparing to build in
the Alamo canyon which will
place the quarries and the power
station within two and one-half
miles of each other. If the quar-
ries company decides to build
and operate its own track to
the main line of the K. Z. d S.
W., it will use an electric To-
cOmotive of sufficient power to
haul ten empty cars from the
railway to the quarries. AS
Alamogordo increases in popula-
tiOn, which is being done at a
rapid rate, this electric line will
form the nucleus of an electric
line that will connect the sanato-
rum with La Luzand Alamogordo
and will be used for passenger
traffic as we'll as freight.

RED CROW IS OK.

On the Red Crow group of gold mines,
east of Yerington about IA miles, in the
Mountain View section. owned by N w.
Willis and others of this place, opera
tons have been begun by leasers, there
being some six or seven applicants for
leases now on the ground looking it
over. The reports from there are most
encouraging, and large quantities of
milling ore are being brought to light
by every days work done on the ground.
The properties will be incorporated
under the laws of Nevada as soon as
possible and limited amount of the
stock placed upon the market for devel-
oprnent purposes. 1t is understood that
the owners have recently turned down
some fiattering offers for the property,
but owing to the proximity of the rail-
road and river about two miles distant.
they prefer to develop it themselves by
the leasing system. This is made prac-
ticable by the large quantity of free
milling ore exposed on the surface.

ICE NEXT WEEK

Mr.. Filming, who is installing an ice
plant on Bridge street, is having an ex-
traordinary hard run of luck in getting
started. After being held back several
weeks by the railroad company not de-
livering his machinery, he thought he
would be ready to start up the plant
about the first of this month. and he did
start up, only to find that his supply of
water from the well was not adequate to
the demand. To remedy this difficulty
Mr.. Filming secured one OF the drill
machines of the Empire Nevada Mining
Co., and had well bored, and at a
depth of So feet secured an inexhaust-
IDLE supply of pure, soft water. Another
start was then made to make ice, but
after run of day and half some
thing went wrong with the cylinder of
the engine and a portion of the machine
was sent to Carson for repairs. The
plant will start up again next week, and
barring further accidents, ice will be
ready for delivery by the middle of the
week
The boring of the we'll has demon
strated the fact that good, pure water
can be obtained in this vicinity at a
depth of from 80 to 40 feet and in guam
tity that is practically inexhaustible.
With these facts established it would
seem that there is a reasonable assurance
OF getting artesian water at depth not
TO exceed 500 or 800 feet. The flow of
water i'll the Filming well comes to
within three feet of the surface of the
ground, and when the pump is started
there it stands while the pump is in
operation for an indefinite time

this coinpany's operations. Mr. Jen-
nings is one of the prominent copper
experts of the country and his report
on the holdings Of the company will

KICKED BY A HORSE

James Scott, of the firm of Scott &
Mcdonald liverymen, met with very
serious accident at Wabuska Thursday
afternoon Mr.. Scott had gone into the
stable at Wabusk@ to hitch up team he
had driven down to that place on bust
ness, when one of the animals kicked
him in the stomach and chest, knocking
him down behind the other horse. This
other animal became frightened, and,
jumping around, stepped on SCOTS
head, cutting his face severely. Scott
was dazed from the blows he received
from the horses boots, and when taken
out of his precarious position by men
who heard the racket in the stable, was
in a semi-unscious condition Mrs.
Scott, who was here, was telephoned to
and a doctor was sent to Wabuska at
once. 1t was found that Mr.. SCOTS in
juries were serious, if not fatal While
it did not appear that any bones were
broken, it is feared that he received in
ternal injuries He was taken to the
hospital in Reno last night and word
from there this morning states that he
is very low.
