he sang out in loud and scornful tone,

self that his wife would have a warm
time after she had departed for parts
unknown.
Seeks Recourse of Law
Yesterday Jeremiah could stand it no
longer and he wanted the district at
torney to bring injunction proceedings
against Mrs. Jeremiah to keep her from
talking. He said he had heard that
an injunction prevented the promiscu-
GUS sale of liquor in Los Angeles re-
Gently and that If it could stop the
flow of liquor it ought to be able to
harness a woman's tongue.
The deputy attorney looked learned
and went in search of the political
code, later the civil and then the penal.
When he found that the lawmakers
of the country had not the temerity
to advise any remedy for a womans
tongue and that the only reference to
1T was found in the Massachusetts,
code of religion procedure wherein it
was advised that a woman be ducked
in the water to cure tongue trouble, he
told jeremiah that there was no law
to stop his wife's tongue.
jeremiah in Despair
Jeremiah suggested that the Massa-
chusetts law be applied to his wife,
but the attorney upon looking it up
found that the ducking law was passed
in 1925 and that through the interfer-
ence of Doc Houghton and Lydia Pink
ham 1t had been ruled off the California
turf by the statute of limitations. Also
the attorney suggested that the waters
of the Los Angeles river were not of
sufficient depth to have the desired
effect upon Mrs Jeremiah's vocal ac-
complishments. 1t was argued by the
desperate husband that the water
might give his wife cold feet even If
it didn't reach her mouth, but the
deputy district attorney had not the
patience to continue the argument.
He suggested that the only remedy
for such unusual breach of domestic
bliss as that existing at the Simpson
home would be a divorce suit. but
jeremiah stated that he thought that
the Adventists believed that in heaven
you were mated with the same people
that you were married<to on earth and
that he didn't want any technicalities
to break up his family ties there. He
left the office stating that he would
see If he couldn't tease his wife into
hitting him on the head with articles
of household furniture, whereupon he
might have her arrested on a battery
charge and in that way secure tenn
porary release.

What happened when Greek met

plant filed yesterday with the district
attorneys office by jeremiah Simpson,
an Alabama Methodist, who wanted
the county officer to issue an inJunc-
| tion against Mrs. jeremiah Simpson to
restrain her from preaching her form
of religion to him when his mind was
taken up with the cares of worldly
business.
When Jeremiah showed UP at the
district attorneys office he first looked
about in a frightened way as though
he were afraid his wife might be close
on his footsteps keeping track of him.
He was slender, pale man and his
hands were labor hardened from car
penter work
He announced in a very low and
abashed tone of voice that he wanted
to see District Attorney Fredericks and
he wanted to see him right away.
The district attorney was In his pri-
vate office throwing rocks at the super

time to let go the strangle hold he was
clinching to the subject, so that Jere-
miah Simpson agreed to entrust his

Breaks Up His Week
| According to his statement the Meth
odist religion had been injected into
his system with every smack of "cawn
cake and lasses" that his mother had
given him when little boy. He was
"Mefdist" and he intended to stay
lthat way no matter what happened.
Also he wanted his children to be
Methodists, and that was where the
trouble had occurred.
Y He confessed that Mrs. Jeremiah was
not of his persuasion; that she had a
belief called Seventh Day Adventism;
that on Saturday when she should have
been "slinging the suds" merrily over
the household and teaching pies and
cakes how to take a joke without get
ting mad at little roast, she was go

Her Sunday was his Saturday While
he was hard at work Saturday finish

was attending Saturday church. on
Sunday when he arose intending to
stroll over to church in the morning
and then spend the day in peace and
quietude his wife was rising with the
spirit OF the new week and was be-
ginning on Sunday the song OF the tub
in order that the washing might get
out on the line TO dry.

Incidentally she talked of his re-
ligion in a way that he had not been
in the habit OF hearing the Methodist
church referred to. and he became ex-

TO LEASE PUBLIC

Resolution Now Pending Before Sen
ate Committee on Agriculture-Big
Stockmen Favor 1t.

Washington, Feb. S.--1he Senate
Committee on Agriculture is prepar-
ing to consider the resolution provid'
ing for the leasing of public lands for
grazing purposes. A large delegation
of western cattlemen is already here
to support the measure An effort will
be made to have a provision covering
the point incorporated in the agricul-
tural appropriation bill as an amend
ment, the text of which has already
been proposed by Senator Burkett.
This amendment authorizes the
President to, from time to time, es-
tablish grazing districts from unre-
served and unapproprated public
lands by proclamation. The question
will be made the subject of hearing
by a committee next Monday, The
measure will be opposed upon the
ground that if it becomes law it will
give the big cattlemen monopoly of
the range to the exclusion of the small
holders.

"DOSS" BOYKIN NOW
IN PENITENTIARY
Sentenced to Serve Twelve Years for
Murder of Henry Stoltz--
Story Of Crime.

Convicted of murder in the second
degree A. M. ''Doss" Boykin of Por-
tales, this morning began serving his
sentence of twelve years in the Ter
ritorial penitentiary for his crime, He
was brought here last night by Sher-
iff Joseph Lang and Deputy Sheriff
w. q. Upton of Dona Ana County.
Boykin was arrested for killing his
brother-in-law Henry Stoltz, which oc-
cured at Portales, in December, 1904,
The murder was precipitated by fam
lily differences. Stoltz called at Boy
kins home on the night of the trag-
edy to demand an explanation of GER
tain statements Boykin was alleged
to have made.
A Quarrel Ensued With the Tragedy
as the Sequel.
Boykin claimed that he shot Stoltz
in self defense and his story was cor
roborated by a younger brother who
was the only eye witness besides Boy
kin himself. The evidence brought
out at the trial in the district court
of Roosevelt County however, devel-
oped the fact that Stoltz had been
shot to death while lying on the
ground, Bullets were found buried in
the ground beneath the body.
Judge William II. Pope who sat at
the trial sentenced the defendant to
twelve years in the penitentiary when
the jury found Boykln guilty OF
of murder in the second degree and
recommended clemelcy. Boykin ap-
pealed the case to the Territorial STU
preme Court and the decision of the
lower court was affirmed at the Jan
uary term this year.
Boykin had been confined III the
Portales Jail pending the outcome OF
his case in the Supreme Court and
managed to escape few days before
the decision sustaining the trial court
was rendered. He was recaptured a
few days later, however, near the
town of Alamosordo.
Boykin is tnirty-two years OF age.
He Is married and has family.
