to become a candidate for MEM
berShip on Socorro's board of ed
ucation and was elected. Later,
on the death of Hon. Juan Jose
Baca, president of the board of
trusteeSof the New Mexico School

pointed by Governor Hagerman
to fill the vacancy, and was at

Early in life Mr. Abeytia mar

the union, but all are now dead.
The mother, also, died in 1884.
In 1896 Mr.. Abeytia married one

A DASTARDLY ATTEMPT
To Wreck a Santa Fe Train at
the Station at San
Antonio.
SECTION FOREMAN IS SHOT
Through the Hand While He Was
Attempting to Repair Broken
Switch Lock.

Ii appears that there are
others in Socorro county who
are pining for the distinction of
being hanged. There are evi-
denceS that several attempts
have recently been made to wreck
Santa Fe passenger train at
San Antonio. The result of the
latest attempt of that kind is
told by the Albuquerque Journal
as follows: Report was made
to local officials and to the
United States marshal'S Office
Yesterday of several attempts
which have been made during
the present week to wreck Santa
Fe trains at San Antonio, New
Mexico, eliminating Tuesday
night in the shooting of sec
ton foreman who was attempt
ing to repair broken switch
lock. Fortunately the man was
not seriously hurt, the shot
breaking several bones in his
hand. Special Agent Ben
Williams and other Santa Fe
officers went to San Antonio
Tuesday night and returned. here
last night. They were not in
clined to tell about the case for
publication. but it is learned that
several natives are suspected of
the shooting and the attempts to
disturb the switches, their at
tempts being inspired by desire
for revenge on the railroad for
fancied wrongs.
Several tines trouble with
the switch locks has occurred at
San Antonio and Tuesday night
the section foreman discovered
a broken switch lock just before
turning in for the night. Had
he left without finding it the
probability is that passenger
train would have been wrecked.
AS he was attempting to repair
the lock voice told him to stop.
He went ahead and shot was
fired. The bullet passed through
his hand. The foreman then
went for help, but no trace of the
man who did the shooting could
be found. The officers have taken
precautions against any further
attempts to wreck trains at San
Antonio, and believe they will be
able to run down the would be
wreckers."

TO DRAIN LAKE STEVENS



Whereas there is at the
present time an accumulation of
water, extending over large
area of the eastern portion of
the city of Socorro, forming a
large lake; and whereas said
accumulation of water is stag
nant, and this fact together
with the growing vegetation
makes the same a menace to
the health and material welfare
of the city of Socorro;
1t is therefore of the highest
Importance that a suitable
drainage be provided in order
to eliminate the constant
nuisance that has been in ex-
istence for several years past.
Pursuant to the carrying out OF
the above stated drainage, we
the undersigned, hereby pledge
and donate the sums OF
money set opposite our names
for the purpose of constructing
suitable drainage ditch which
shall be made under the super
vision, and in accordance with
specifications made and submitted
By the City engineer, Prof. o.
h. Smith,
The funds hereinafter sub
scribed shall be payable to the
order of Edward l.. Price, as
trustee, who shall pay them out
upon the order of said o. r.
Smith, to persons constructing
said ditch.

Hon Aniceto c. Abeytia, whose
portrait is given above, on
the first day of January assumed
the duties of the Office of sheriff
Of Socorro county. Mr.. Abeytia
was born in the city of Santa Fe,
his parents being Hon. and Mrs.
Aniceto Abeytia. He was edu-
Gated in St. Michael'S college in
the city Of his birth. After COM
pleting his education he spent five
years in learning the jewelry busi-
ness. He then engaged i'll the
wholesale and retail manufacture
of filigree jewelry at Santa Fe
with his brother, Frank beytia,
under the firm name of Abeytia x
Brother. The firm did an extern
sive business until 1885, when it
was dissolved, the subject of this
sketch going to Las Vegas. AT
Las Vegas Mr.. Abeytia organ
lied a jewelry firm known as
Abevtia & Mares, but only year
later bought his partners interest.
Still later he incorporated the
Mexican Filigree Jewelry COM
pany.
About ten years ago Mr.. Abey-
tia sold his interests in Las Vegas,
came to Socorro, and engaged i'll
the general merchandise business,
under the firm name of A. c.
Abeytia & Garcia. Since enter
ing upon this line of business Mr..
Abeytia has been very successful,
and now commands the patronage
and good will of a very large
number of customers and friends
in Socorro and vicinity.
In politics Mr.. Abevtia has al
ways been staunch republican,
and his party has elected him to
many positions of honor and trust.
In 1886 he was elected superin-
tendent of public instruction for
San Miguel county. He held this
Office two years and was then APP
pointed chief deputy under Sheriff
and Collector Don Lorenzo Lopez.
Although it had been customary
to require such deputies to give
bond in the sum of not less than
| $40, ,OO0, and although Mr.. Abey-
| tia offered to furnish such "A bond,
Mr.. Lopez showed his confidence
in him bv declining To accept any
bond whatever. That such con-
| fidence was warranted is shown
by the fact that Mr. Abeytia
handled no less. than $500, 900 of
public funds and accounted for
every cent of that large sum. He
was next elected.one OF the county
commissioners of San Miguel
county, and his fellow-officers
chose him. the chairman of their
honorable body. The difficult
duties. of this position Mr.. ABBEY
tia discharged, as usual, with
eminent satisfaction to all con-
cerned. The next public position
to which he was chosen was that
of agent for Don Jose 6. Mon
tafio, who had been electeda assessor
of San Miguel county. Here again
he managed the public affairs en-
trusted to his charge with perfect
satisfaction to all concerned. In
| 1899 Mr.. Abeytia was elected a
member of the city council of So
corro, and, in 1904, was further
honored by election as mayor OF
the city. Although he was prom
| inently mentioned for renomina
tion for the latter position. he
declined the honor in favor of the
