KEEPING THE FAITH.

Already IL has become evident TO
the people OF the new state that
the men who have been elected as
members OF the first legislative and
executive bodies expect to keep the
faith and will carry out every prom.
lse made the people prior to their
election.
That the Jim CROW" bill will be
enacted into law there is no room
to doubt. nor is there any reason
to suppose that 1t will not meet
with the approval Of three-fourths
OF the people resident in the state.
1t is also apparent to everyone
that the promises Of the democratic
party to properly curb corporations
that exceed their charter privileges
will be executed and that corpora.

Melquiadez ArmijO, an Old aud
Respected Citizen Of SocOrro
County, the Victim,
CAUGHT BY PASSING FREIGHT
While Attempting to Escape frOm
Falling Windmill, and His Body
Terribly Msnglsd.

The report of terrible acci-

last evening reached Socorro this
morning. According to this re-
port Melquiadez Armijo, and old
and respected citizen of the coun-
ty, met his death under the
wheels of passing freight train
under peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. Armijo was standing by a
windmill when a hard wind
storm loosened one of the fans
and hurled it downward, striking
him on the side of the head. In
his effort to escape the falling
missile Mr.. Armiio ran upon the
track and was caught by the
train and his body terribly
mangled. Death must have
been instantaneous. Mr.. Armi-
10 was born at Sabinal and was

had large circle of personal
friends in Socorro. to whom his
tragic death was great shock

closed a deal whereby he becomes
the owner OF the extensive goat
ranches OF w. II. Byerts. a re-
tired merchant of SocorrO. tsf
These ranches are located in
the Oscura mountains. and there
are fully 1000 finely bred goats
included in the purchase. which
was cash transfer. involving
from $4,000 to $4,000, though
the parties have not given out
the exact consideration.

lie has not yet succeeded in
restoring order out of chaos but
y making a careful investigation
Ul affairs. 1t is understood here
that the Trellord management
of the penitentiarv was rotten.
FUNDS WE'RE MIsAPPRoPRIATED.
" Not only does it appear that
there was brutal cruelty and in-
human treatment of convicts bft
the institution was grossly mis-
managed. Out of an appropria-
tiOn of S25, 900 made by the rec
ent Legislature, Trelford had al
ready expended some S22, 900 and
had some $1,000 in bills vet TO
pay. This leaves a balance of
only about $1,000 for the five
months OF the present fiscal year.
II is said that some disclosures
when made public will create a
sensation. Various funds have
been diverted to other uses than
specified in the appropriation bill
and other prison funds have been
combined. These very things
were some of the chief charges
used against BurSum by Hager-
man in removing him.
In fact some of the irregulari-
ties are so pronounced that il is
said the recent reform admins

been the worst the prison has
ever had. 1t will take several
weeks to unravel the tangle aud
to learn the full extent of Trel-

superintendent have not found il
necessary to import an exper t
