Shot New York
| Doctor in Cold
| Blood.
WIFE WITNESSED TRAGEDY
Slayer Escaped---Cut Tele.
phone Wires.--Entered
Bedcbamber.

New York, Jan. 26.--Dr. Charles w
Townsend, one of the best known ply
sicians and surgeons on Staten Island
was shot and probably mortally
wounded at his home at New Brighton
early today. The case is surrounded
with mystery, but it is believed that
the doctor was the victim of man
who sought revenge for real or fancied
wrongs.
Was Not a Burglar.
That it was not a burglar who com
mitted the crime is borne out by the
fact that nothing was taken from the
house and by the stories told by the
neighbors. The coroner declines to
make known the information he op-
tanned from the doctor or his wife.
He declared that to do so would tend
to defeat the ends of justice.
Assassin Was Cool
Doctor Townsend and his wife were
awakened at o'clock this morning by
a slight noise in their bed room and
later were startled by the
flash of match, revealing man hold
ing a revolver. The intruder ordered
DR.. Townsend to arise, but before he
could do so, he fired three shots at
him, two Of which took effect. The
assailant then fed.
Cut Telephone Wires.
When Mrs. Townsend tried to call
assistance she found that two of the
telephone wires had been cut. but a
third was evidently overlooked.

THAW'S RELATIVES
IN QUARREL
Is Report-Chorus Girl Who Accom-
panies Wife to Trial the
Cause.

New York, Jan. 26.-The Thaw
murder case was continued last night
until Monday. Rumors of differ
ences between Mrs. Harry Thaw on
one side, and Mrs. William Thaw and
the Countess of Yarmouth, mother
and sister respectively of the pris-
oner, on the other, continue, were cir
culated today, despite a denial by
Thaws counsel that any such differ
ences existed. The differences 1t is
alleged, arise from the presence of
a Miss Mackenzie, a former chorus
girl, who invariably accompanies Mrs.
Harry Thaw and sits with her during
the sessions of the court.

COLONEL BALLARD
ON DIVISION
Pecos Valley Citizen Says People Not
In Favor of New County in
Chaves and Eddy,

Colonel Charles l.. Ballard, of Ros
| well, sheriff Of Chaves County one
of the oldest residents of southeastern
New Mexico and who is one of the
best known and most respected citi
zens of his section, has been in the city
for a few days on official business
and also taking in legislative sights
TO a representative of the New Mex
lcan regarding the demand BY the
people of Artesla for new county to
be called Artesia with their town as
the county seat, Colonel Ballard said :
y am pretty well acquainted with
conditions in the Pecos Valley, nav.
ing been resident Of that section for
the last twenty-eight years might
say have grown up with it. | came
there when | was quite boy and
have remained there ever since. The
interests Of Roswell and of Chaves
County are certainly my interests as
everything | have in the world is To-.
Gated there believe that the best
interests of the counties Of Chaves
ana Eddy demand that the new county
be not created, especially not at this
time. It would certainly be detri.
ment 10 Eddy County which is strug.
Cling and would cut off much of the
taxable property located therein and
which should remain with the County
OF Eddy until much more population
and much more taxable property are
there than now exist Chaves County
is more populous and much richer
than is Eddy County, but even Chaves
could not afford at this time to con.
sent to ACKNOWLEDGMENT and to the
taking OF part Of its domain for the
creation of a new county. The project
Is entirely too premature and the sec.
tlon which 1t is to make into a new
county is not yet ready for that pur-
pose. | am not overdrawing when
state to you that | honestly believe
tnat nlne'tenths of the people of
ChaVes and Eddy Counties are
strongly opposed to the project. The
people OF Roswell, Of Lake Arthur, of
Dexter, of Hagerman, of Carlsbad and
oCner towns outside of Artesia have
met and are meeting in mass meetings
TO protest against the creation of the
new county and their voice hope will
govern and will be heard by the mem.
oers of the Assembly.
Mr.. Cameron the member of the !
council, from our district, has already |
placed himself on record in opposition
Mr.. Mullins, Representative from our |
district is also not fayoably inclined
and Hudspeth the other Representa-
tive, is in the same line, | was |
member of the last Legislative AS |
sembly of which | had the honor of |
being the only Democrat in the Coun-
cli, and an glad to say that the ms !
Jol1ty treated me very fairly and con.
and | fully believe that the |
same majority will do the same thing
II this session with Mr.. Cameron.
With Mr.. Mullins and with Mr.. Huds-
Deth, who represent the views of the
people of our district, especially in
his case"

Much has been published of late
about the cliff dwelling ruins of the
Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado
and of the cave dwellings in north
ern New Mexico in the vicinity of Es-
pamela and there appears to be an
awakened interest in these prehis-

Equally interesting and probably of
earlier origin are the Aztec ruins, 35
miles south of Durango, in New Mex

That they were skilled in the art of
building is shown by their six or
seven story houses, constructed of
stone and mortar, with fitted logs and
beams. The stone for their buildings
was brought from quarry several

one big building with its hundreds
of rooms, was from six to eight stor-

of many smaller buildings, are scat
