for the murder OF James M. Chase,
who was killed April 4, 1905, on he
streets at Torrance. Clark admits hav-

the two men. Chase was shot twice
and died within a few hours. He did
not make any statement concerning
the shooting or the aus that led up
to it so far as known. 1t was a regular
duel on the streets from all accounts
and Clark was wounded in the knee
by a bullet from Chase's revolver.
Claims Self Defense.
According to the story of b affair
as told by the defendant, Chase had
threatened to shoot him on sight, and
was in an ugly mood when they met
at Torrance. Clark was then in the
employ of FL Captain Land and Cat
tie Company and had been sent to
town to purchase some supplies. The
defendant asserts that Chase drew
revolver twice before the fatal shoot
ing took place, but put 1t back in his
pocket. Finally after walking rapidly

feet, Clark declares that his victim
wheeled suddenly around with pistol
in hand, and fred a SHOT which took

drew his after he had been
wounded and began firing al Chase.
Clark has been confined at different
times in the ~penitentiary and local
county Jail since his Incarceration.
Clark is well known in Roswell and
much interest is taken here in his
case. Charley Gilbert, of this city,
was an y witness to the shooting.
The Wales Case.
Particular interest centers in the
case against Valles,, who is charged
with the murder of Colonel j. Fran
cisco Chaves, who was at the time of
his death Territorial Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and one of the
best known men in public life in New
Mexico. Colonel Chaves was killed
while eating supper one evening at
the ranch home of a friend neal Pi1os
Wells. Considerable mystery sur
rounds h tragedy and it was a cold
blooded affair. Wales was arrested
some months after N charged with
the crime. He has been confined for
safe keeping since at the Territorial
penllenLlary at santa re.
Killed in Cold Blood.
Colonel Chaves, as already stated,
was eating supper when he was as
sassinated by being shot. A rifle bull
let which crashed through a window
to which he had his back turned end
ed his life. Although several persons
were seated at the table with him
N saw who fired the shot, although
the assassin must have stood close to
the window while taking deliberate
aim. The victim staggered to his feet
with a cry of pain, took a few steps
backward n fell lead on the fioor.
The deadly missile struck him in the
back and ranged downward. 1t is
thought it penetrated the heart Or cut
a large artery.
Immediately after the shooting the
occupants of the house a outside to
see if they could find the assassin.
peared. Footprints were discovered
on the ground in proximity to the win
dow through which the shot was fired
and the tracks OF a horse were found
within about three hundred yards of
the house. The superstition is that
having tied mis- horse at a short dis
lance from the house, and skulked the
remainder of h way on foot.
Wales Arrested on Suspicion.
Wales was suspected of the crime
and arrested. He vas bound over to
await the action of the grand jury
without bail, and later an Indictment
was returned against him charging
murder in the first degree. Jacobo
Sedillo, who was summoned as a wit
ness before the grand jury was also
indicted as an accomplish, because of
statements he had made of an incrim-
mating nature, and ne has been in
carcerated since in the county Jail of

than he told the grand jury when ex-
amiled, and it is believed that he will
turn states evidence.

THE BANK STATEMENT.

The government has called on
the national banks of the country
for a statement Of condition at the
close of business December 3, and
the reports show that the country
has plenty Of money. Ofthis there
was not much doubt. The coun-
try never had more money in its
history aud the banks are in good
condition, so far as cash is con-
cerned. The trouble is, and has
been, that two much of this money
is in the banks. 1t ought to be in
circulation, thereby discharging
its natural functions.
A senseless fright among depos-
itors in New York a few weeks ago
compelled banks all over the coun-
try to hoard their cash. But for
this fright there would have been
no check in business, and no fear
of a collapse.
The reports of Chicago banks
show that city contains more than
100000 of money, and the
banks throughout. the West are
likewise full of it. This is the con-
dition all over the country, and
what is needed now more than all
else is confidence that will war;
rant the banks in turning lose all
their idle cash to start the wheels
of industry anew in all parts of
the country.
Business has suffered'considera-
bly, by reason of the recent panic,
but we are confident that the crisis
is passed and that normal condi-
tions will prevail throughout the
60 untry in a very short time.
The South never was,in a better
condition than it is now. Three
crops of cotton, aggregating near
ly 40,000,000 bales, have been sohl
at an average price of lO5 cents a
pound. The present crop is a good

The committee voices the senti-

Governor of Tennessee and who
shall fill the other State Offices.
The Democratic party will NOM
