Judge Wm. H. Pope heard a motion
by the defense in the case of the Ter
ritory against Nose Lewis in the dis
trict court this morning. in which a
change of venue was asked on the
grounds that defendant could not get
a fair trial in Chaves county ON ac-
count of the prevailing sentiment
against the defendant. The motion
was made with the necessary affida-
Wits of defendant and two disinterest-
ed parties, J. H. Hamilton and V. c.
Ferguson, and although the prosecu-
ton fought the change, the oaly
course open was for the court to
grant the request in the motion. Tais
was done and the case was set to
come up for hearing at the next ses-
sion of the district court at Carlsbad,
Eddy county. which meets the second
Monday in March.
Another motion made by the defen-
dant's attorneys and granted by the
court was for compulsory process in
the matter of. securing witnesses for
the defense at the Territory's cost.
BY this order the defendant will have
an opportunity to put up better de
fense than his limited means would
otherwise permit
Lewis was tried here at the pres
eat term of court on the charge of
murder in the first degree for killing
Leland s. Terhune and the trial jury
failed to agree, ten to two.

The Baptist Revival.

DIR. Porter preached a very touch
ing and powerful sermon last night
to a large congregation. His sermon
was a discussion of the vast harm
done by lives of sin. The responsible
ity of parents for their influence over
their children was tenderly and at
times pathetically discussed.
Today DR.. Porter discussed the val
ne of Christian service taking as the
basis of his sermon, the parable of
the talents. The meetings viii con-
tinue until Sunday next. Sunday is ex-
pected to be a great day in the meet
ing. The new converts will be bap-
tized Sunday afternoon. There are a
goodiy number of them.

MINING CONDITIONS
ARE UNSATISFACTORY

Denver. Colo, Dec. 19.-Mining con-
ditions, so far as they relate to low
grade properties from which are TAX
en- base metal are unsatisfactory, ac-
cording to an article published in the
Republican today. At present prices,
silver, copper, lead and zinc mines
that are operated at a slight margin
of profit, are losing money and the
managers have been compelled to
close down in Leadville, Creole and
Aspen, throwing two thousand men
out of work already. Mining men are
hopeful, however, and believe the
present low prices will not last long.

FARMERS BUY AUTOS
NEW SIGNS OF PROSPERITY OBJ.
SERVED IN THE WEST.
Manufacturers OF Motor Cars Cannot
Make Machines Fast Enough to
supply Demand from Tillers
Of tho Soil.

Lincoln. Neb.--We5tern agents OF
automobile factories assert that If the
machines could be obtained hundreds
Of autos could be old this summer to
the farmers of Nebraska and Kansas
AS It is, the residents OF the country
towns and the farmers are buying
more of the benzlne buggies than the
cities, and there Is scarcely country
town In Nebraska In which there are
not more automobiles in proportion to
the population than in Lincoln or
Omaha.
The prosperity Of western farmers
has become an old story. and this pros.
perity Is going to be augmented this
year by another big crop of wheat and
corn and oats. Most of the farmers in
the state could buy a medium-prlced
machine just as a luxury If they want
ed to, but the manner in which they
have amassed their money does not
lead to extravaganza of that kind.
When n Nebraska agricultural adds
to his machinery collection he buys
only that which will be of use. That
is why he is Just now turning to the
automobile. The favorIte farm type
Is the runabout, largely because of it's
low first cost, The prudent farmer
figures that with good carriage horses
bringing $3.50 to $3.50 each In the mar.
ket he is foolish to utilize them IN the
pleasure jaunts and his journeyings to
and from church.
If he uses his work horses to go to
town or about the country. he deducts
just that much from their working
capacity on the farm, BY using an
auto he saves the horsej fresh for the
farm work, he can transact his bust,
ness quicker and get back to the farm
in short time, TO his financial better
ment.

GETS BEAVER WITH FLY.
Fisherman Makes the oueerest Catch
on Record.

Bangor, Melville w, E. Dill. Of
Eustis was fly fishing on the Dead
river, near Ledge Falls. he noticed a
young beaver suddenly come to the
surface OF the water within so feet
of where he was casting from rock
In the stream. Not having had many
rises that day and being ready for any
diversion from the monotony of the
constant casting and only occasional
strike, in pure sportiycness he decid-
ed TO try his skill in tempting the
beaver to taste his white miller
Making one of the best casts he
had ever made, the fly dropped lust In
front of the inattentlve animal within
two feet of its Jaws. BY the careful
maneuyering Of the leader and quick
jig at the right moment the beaver
was soon firmly grasping the white
fly.
When completely tired out by his
struggles of 20 minutes, the beaver
consented TO be captured. and after
exhibiting him at the Shaw house for
a few hours Mr.. Din carefully return.
