MANS LIFE
SAVED RY BUCKSKIN HA

Pennington, May 3.-That a buck
skin hat saved John Wurtz, a San
Juan county farmer, his life one day
last week, developed at a trial held
here before Justice Pearce Fay.
Wurtz had a water right to the
Echo Ditch, and because he cut the
ditch and let water out on his land
c. B. Thompson, who contended that
Wurtz had no right to do SO, struck
the latter over the head with a SHOW
ell Though the blow knocked Wurtz
down and cut a long cash in his scalp
it is believed that he would have
been killed if it mad not been for his
hat, which is buckskin, of his own
make.
Thompson has been arrested on
charge of assault with a deadly weap
on.
The case at which the facts were
developed was suit brought against
wurtz by Thompson charging him
with malicious cutting of an irrigation
ditch. 1t also developed at this trial
that Wurtz had papers showing his
water rights on the Echo ditch.

SAY EMILIO
IS CAUGHT

Lee Eddleman came in yesterday
afternoon from his ranch and report
ed to Sheriff C. L. Ballard that he
learned from some Mexicans, who
came down the Rio Ruidoso, that
Rosario Emilio, the sentenced and
escaped murderer had been re-captur-
ed and taken to Lincoln in readiness
for transportation to Santa Fe for
safe keeping until August %, wne7
he is to be hanged. The Mexicans
went so far as to tell the details of
the capture. saying that Emilio saw
the officers and fed, falling over a
bluff in his flight and crippling him
self SO badly that he stopped at a
house for help. This, the Mexicans
said, led to his capture. He was TAX
en-, they say, at Eagle Creek in the
foothills of the White mountains, IS
miles west of Lincoln Thursday after
noon.
But the story of the capture is de-
MED by the driver of the Lincoln
stage, which came in last night from
Lincoln. He says there is no truth
in it and that Sheriff Owens, of Lin
coin county, returned the day he left
Lincoln reporting that he had not
captured Emilio.
Sheriff Ballard hesitates in accept
ing the denial of the report of the
capture Eddleman is not the man to
be easily deceived by Mexicans. The
sheriff considers it possible that the
capture was made in the mountains
and that Sheriff Owens had not
heard of it when the stage left Lin
coin. The officers here state that
Emilio is not resourceful young
man, and they believe that he will
be captured before he gets out of the
Territory, even if he is not now in
jail
Nothing has ever been heard of
the nalf-breed negro and Mexican
who escaped with Emilio from the
Lincoln jail

AlVA WINS
DUMB GAME

For the second time Alva, Oklaho-
mas baseball team was a winner from
a Roswell team yesterday afternoon,
the game being played before good
sized crowd at Amusement Park and
resulting in a score of eight to four
The Roswell town team assisted by
Cannon and Kennard of the Military
Institute team, put up the opposition
for the visitors, the Institutes COM
plete team having been in the field
the day before.
The game yesterday was a dumb
exhibition. 1t seemed like an error
making contest. and in this the visi-
tors were winners, the same as they
were on the score board, for they
made eleven fumbles to the Roswell
teams eight. But one earned run
was made in the whole game, and
that was by the visitors.
The feature of the game was the
fine pitching by McGill, for Alva He
passed none, hit but one AID allowed
but five hits, one of the latter being
decidedly "scratchy" He struck out
seven men and got eight assists,
remarkable record which shows that
he fielded his position as well as
worried the batters.
The Alva team is composed of a
bunch of hitters-that is all there is
to 1t. They made nine hits off of
Caldwell, which is the worst record
he ever made in a match game. That
is a wonderful record for any pitch
er. Again the Roswell team played
with less errors than the visitors, but
the mighty stick again did the work.
The official score is as follows:

THE cLARKVILLE
MINES ARE SOLD.

Gallup, N NJ, May 3.-It is stated
today upon reliable authority that the
coal mines of the Clarkville Coal com
pany will pass under control Of the
American Fuel company. The sale is
one of considerable magnitude, but
the terms have not been made public.
Tae propery lies about four miles
west of this city. 1t is understood
that the new owners will open the
mines up extensively, which means
the employment of a large force OF
men. The force, which has been en-
ployed by the Clarkville company,
has dwindled down the past year to
a mere handful of men.
The people of this city receive tle
news of the change of ownership with
gladness. 1t means increased busi-
ness for the merchants of Gallup.

'twee1t New Foundland and Cape Bre

and st. Lawrence service have been
forced to land passengers and freight
in this port after Intellectual attempts
to pierce the impenetrable barrier.
The Allan Line steamer Sandman,
which was forced into this port yes
terday to land her 600 passengers,
reports that imbedded in the ice
fields are the Allan liner Ontarian
and the Dominion liner Vancouver.
The Allan liner Ionian is also believ-
ed to be ia the ice.
The ice fields stretch across Abbott
strait, a distance of little over fifty
miles, and then to add to the difficulty
of navigation a thick fog hangs oyer
the coast. Not for many years has
the opening of summer service to
Montreal been so delayed as this
year. Ice conditions this winter all
up and down the coast of the mari

Johnson was finally surrounded in a
deserted school house across the Kan

This is the time to plant a tree
If you live on a place of your own,
or are in any way in touch with the
soil. don't let the season go by with
out putting in some fruit trees, shrubs
flowers, etc, according to your needs
and tastes. These things cost prac-
tically nothing but wnat satisfaction
they are. Perhaps there is not al
ways money in having your own
little orchard and garden, but you will
discover some day, if you have not
found it out already that many of the
finest things in this world are things
there is no money in" When you
plant a tree you are not only doing
yourself a benefit but you are making
a contribution to the general good
of the world. Perhaps years from
now you will eat fruit or sit in the
shade of some tree you have set out,
and you will be proud to think that
it was your forethought and care that
started that tree on its mission OF
benevole1ce. Grapes will succeed al
most anywhere if the proper sorts for
the locality are chosen, and there is
probably nothing else tnat repays its
cost so many times over as a grape
vine. l would not bother with great
variety of flowers perhaps, but there
are plenty of hardy shrubs, roses and
other perennials that demand little
attention and that are "a joy forever

kets,' in the good old fashioned way
that would have made the table groan
in the same old way, if it had 1ot

The picnic dinner was the feature

covered with rugs and the Hagerman
place looked more attractive than
usual After dinner an impromptu

WHO WILL START A FLAG

Although he has hunted diligently
Postmaster Robert Kellahil has fail
ed to locate the post office flag which
disappeared during the cattlemen's
convention. The new flag pole looks
somewhat bare without the national
emblem at the top. 1t has been sug-
gested that since the party who took
the flag evidently intends to keep it,
it would be well for some liberal
person to start public subscription
to secure another. 1t would be easy
to get the funds needsd, as a good
flag can be bought with fifteen or
twenty dollars. Who will be the first
to give something? the new flag
will be taken care of by the post
master. He promises.
