o'clock this morning no trace had
been found of him. although the po-
lice have sent out notice to all officers
in an directions with accurate descrip-
ton Of the murderer and orders for
his capture.
The shooting occurred shortly after 3
o'clock and AT 3:15 Chief of Police
McMillin was notified. He went to
the scene Of the shooting at once and
found Arehibeque crouched in cor
ner OF the rear porch OF the building,
haif on his knees, his head fallen for
ward on his breast gaping bullet
hole In the cheek, surrounded by an
ugly burn from powder showed where
one bullet had entered. while blood
was oOzing through the clothing,
showing other wounds. Archibeque
was still alive when the officer ar
rived. but death was so near that he
could not speak. The chief went at
once TO the telephone and called Tor
from the telephone the man was dead.
He did not speak word.
The body was taken TO the Borders
undertaking rooms. and coroner's
Jury was empaneled at once by Po-
lice Judge Craig, composed Of the fol-
lowing: Bert Fish. M. A. Ross John

Archibeaue came to Albuquerque
from Bernalillo. He was small sheep
owner and is presumed to have come
here Ia attend the fair. Some seven
dollars In money was found IN ms
clothing. How he came to go To the
boarding house on East street or how

not known. The officers learned that
the two men had been in a room to-
gether and had been quarreling Tor
several hours, but the cause OF the
ouarrel is not known. Although there
are more than fifty people living IN
the house. which is a huge affair
built at the time of the Santa re
strike. not one could be found who
would admit having witnessed the
shooting or to knowing anything
about H. The house accommodates
about 100 people and Is now used al
most exclusively bv laborers from Old
Mexico employed by the Santa Fe.
fairly accurate description OF
Olivia has been furnished. He Is
twenty-three years Of age, weighs ] %
hounds, wears white hat and blue
apron overalls, Is smooth shaven ana
good looking.
Whatever the cause of the quarrel
or the shooting OLIVIA shot TO Kill. The
gun was so close TO Archibeque's face
that the cheek is badly powder burn
ed. This shot was not fatal, but eith-
er bullet into the abdomen would have
caused death.
THE uncommunicative disposition of
the people In the house was loosened
up a little when the police Indicated
that arrests would be made at whole
sale unless the identity of the man
who who did the shooting was re-
vealed. II was then that the name
and description of OLIVIA was OBJ
tained. This was at 4 o'clock.
search for OLIVIA was Instituted al
once. but he seems to have been clever
enough to hide and TO wait for dark
ness to make his escape A careful
watch is being kept on all trains, and
II Is hoped the man may be taken
during the day
