hibits had been arranged in the
awards of prizes as soon as called
for.
Miss Lulu Walford gave a
bright and entertaining address,
illustrative of the benefits of the
movement among the boys and
girls. Her remarks were the
most interesting as she recounted
her own personal experience in
helping to organize the Begin
nings of such a movement in
"District 30" of Pawnee county,
where she was teaching some
years ago. The close attention
with which all present listened
was sufficient proof of Miss
Walford's ability as a public
speaker and reconteur., At the
close of her address she an
nounced the awards of prizes for
the cooking and needle-work
contests, as follows:
Loaf of corn bread, 1st prize,

thread, square hole to be
patched with a small square of
the goods. One end of the piece

Master Thomas Stuckey then
entertained the audience with a
most beautiful violin Solo, which
was applauded to the echo. The
young musician kindly responded
to the encore, which was received
with even greater enthusiasm
than the first selection.
Much to the regret of all,
Judge Sullivan was unable to fiji
the place assigned him on the
program, being engaged in a
case at law before the County
Judge.
Mrs. Stuckey gave a most de-
lightful vocal solo, aud an encore,
both of which were received with
great appreciation.
Another serious disappoint-
ment was experienced when it
was learned that Deputy State
Supt. E. c. Bishop was too
hoarse to speak as had been ex-

somewhat of a disappointment in

some other respects, was an en-

TAKES PLACE
IN FL PASO
Young Wife Shot to Death by
Her Husband Who Also
Kills Himself.

Yesterday added another tragedy
to the unprecedented number of such
happenings which have taken place
in Ell Paso during the past few
months. This time the county is
saved the expense of trying the as
sassin, owing to the fact that he fol-
lowed his rash act by his own de-
struction.
the principals to the affair of yes
terday were G. c. Boone, aged 2S, a
conductor on the El Paso & South
western railroad, and his wife, aged
21. 1t appears that the young couple
had been living unhappily for some
time past and the frequent quarrels
between them reached a elimination
yesterday in the fatal wounding OF
the wife by the husband, followed by
the firing of a bullet into his own
heart.
Boone returned from his run he went
Immediately to his room, at 315
Texas street, and at once entered into
an alteration with his wife, the de.
tails of which are unknown, and a
few minutes later a shot was heard,
followed by the appearance of thu
young wife, who ran toward the
street, and was later discovered to be
in a dying condition, with a bullet
through the lung. Before aid could
reach her or any effort be made T.
capture the husband, he had fired q
second shot, causing his own death.

GOVERNMENT Is WASTING
MONEY ON RAILROADS

Washington, Il. c., Jan. 16.-From
statistics published today it is shown
that the government is paying the
railways three times as much on the
average for the transportation of
mail matter as the express companies
pay to roads for like services. On
the basis of the postmaster generals
estimates publishing firms assert that
the government during the fiscal year
ending June, 1907, will pay the
roads almost $32,00O,0OO more than
the express companies would pay
them for hauling an equal tonnage.
The statistics dealing with the matter
have been prepared by the printers
and publishers for the purpose of re-
ducing the annual postoffice deficit
by reducing the outlay for the trans
portation OF mails and thus be the
means of preventing an increase in
the rate for second class matter

NOT UNLAWFUL
TO SELL PUEB-
Los BOOZE
According to Decision of Ter
rltOrlal Supreme Court
Rendered Yesterday.

Late yesterday afternoon Assistant
United States Attorney E. l.. Medler
received message from the clerk
of the supreme court at Santa Fe,
informing him that the court had ap-
proved the finding of the trial Judge
In the case of the United States
against Mares Since Mares was
charged with selling liquor to pueblo
Indians and n salient point involved
I'm the case was whether or not the
pueblos are citizens in the eye OF
the law and are therefore entitled
to the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties of such, the effect of the decis-
ion becomes of much Importance.
The court held that these Indians are
citizens and being such, one has a
right to sell them liquor the same
as anybody else.
The decision was not unexpected
by Mr.. Medler, who reviewed the
case In his office this afternoon for
The Evening Citizen.
MARES was tried at Santa Fe in
March, 1905, for selling liquor to
Taos pueblo Indians" said Mr.. Med
Ter. "The jury disagreed on the facts
in the case an1 before IA rehearing
was had the supreme court of the
United States had rendered a decis-
ion in a Kansas case holding that
where an Indian had quit the no.
madic life and settled on his land al
lotment he occupied the same status
as a white man and that it was not
against the statutes of the United
States to sell him liquor.
Mares attorney filed a motion to
quash the indictment In view of this
decision of the supreme court as
the pueblos are held to be citizens In
the territory of New Mexico. The
court quashed the indictment and the
government appealed the case on the
ground that the statute was a prop
er police regulation and while II
might not apply in a state being q
matter peculiarly within the provinc'
of the state, yet in the territory con
gress had a right to extend police
regulations.
while l have not seen the opin
ion of the supreme court. it is my be
lief that the decision is based upOr
the theory that 1t would be al
abridgement of the rights of the In
dian who is a citizen to hold that /
is unlawful for anybody to sell liquo
to him, unless the statute be made
| to apply to all citizens alike"
