The OK has always been a favorite motor
power. Way back in biblical days he was
used exclusively, and in almost every coun-

4 LETTER OF THANKS.

My Friends:
 It is with trembling hands and quivering heart that 1 undertake to thank you for the kindness extended to me and my loving wife during her sickness and death. Mothers have left their babes and wives their husbands to wait upon her, to soothe her pain, and to nurse her back to health. But 'The Lord of the harvest hath need of the flowers" and it was of no avail. Delft hands lovingly made and arrang- ed the pure white robe which made her look beautiful in death. But not the least of all was the support given me by the noble men of the town. My employers

Uncle" Dick Pace, a familiar old negro of Prescott, has lost his mind and acted so strangely that the sheriff locked him up in iail until he could remove him to the asylum. Uncle" Dick was a good blacksmith and used to come to our fathers farm every spring and fix up the blows for the farm. We had to strike for "Uncle' Dick in the shop, and many times we were called down by him for knocking the face off the clevers..

MRS. C.F. NEWTH DEAD.

Last Sunday morning Mrs. L.. F. Newth passed away after an illness of a week. All the family were present but one son, Fred, who was in the Panhandle of Texas and failed to reach here until after his mother was dead. Mrs Newth was good woman. She was member of the Chris tian Church and died as she had lived, believing implicitly in the promises of her Savior, and left every evidence that she IS now resting in the home of the Soul.
 The funeral services were con- ducted by Elders Highsmith and Taylor from the family residence, and the remains were followed to DeAnn cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends, where all that was mortal of wife, mother and friend was buried, there to await the final resurrection. We sympa t hlze with the heartbroken husband and boys, but can only say God in his infinite wisdom knows best and it is He that can dry the tears and heal the lacerated hearts.

 Mr. Roltaire is a master in his profession and the local talent that assisted him was well chosen and measured up to every re- quirement and the performance was a 'howling success" and the only drawback connected with any of it was the trouble the good house keepers had sew ing on buttons next morning for the play was certainly button buster" for the audience, who laughed and laughed and are still laughing.

Of the Territorial National Guard, and
the latter a member Of the staff, were

After Captain Moseley had finished
the work Of inspection he compli.
mented the officers and enlisted men
upon the excellent showing made, and
he congratulated the officers In partic.
Iular in having such a fine set of men
in their command. To ascertain if the
non-commissioned officers were cap
able Of giving orders he had one of
them at a time take command of the
company and go through a series of
maneuvers. Thirty-five enlisted men,
including the non-commissioned Off
GERS. responded to the order to report
for drill and inspection, and, as di-
rected wore their khaki uniforms with
full marching equipment. Captain

the inspection of guns and other equip

by that sheet during the recent cam

as to invite the confidence and the
belief that the work for which the
Bureau is organized and maintained
will prove to the advantage and pro-
gress of the Territory. For instance:
A. NJ. Edwards is the man who a few

memorial to the Congress of the Uni
ted States praying for the annexation
of San Juan County to the state OF
Colorado.

virulent and yindictive daily Demo

done lots in the direction of befouling

smirring the reputation of the Sun

John A. Haley is the proprietor of
small Democratic paper in Captain,
Lincoln County, whose experience and
knowledge Of New Mexico affairs and
Of it's needs are naturally OF a very
small compass and narrowly limited.

intentions, except to grab whatever
IS possible for his own particular
clique in albuquerque regardless OF all
else and the good of the people OF

LAWS OF FOREIGN
COUNTRY CONSIDERED
important Decision Handed Down by
United States Supreme Court in
Famous Railroad Case.

Washington, April 9,-The question
of the degree of consideration that
should be given the laws of another
country by court Of the United
States in adjudicating claim for bod
lily injuries to American employees of
railroad operating in foreign countries,
was before the Supreme Court of the
United States yesterday in connection
with the case of the Mexican Central
Railway versus Charles H. Page.
Secured Judgment for $4,000.
Page lost leg through an accident
while acting as brakeman at Ebano,
Mexico. He brought suit in the United
States Circuit Court at El Paso, Texas,
where the railway company has
agents and was awarded $4,000 dam
ages. The railroad company con
tended that the case should have been
heard in Mexico and if not, that the
trial should have been under the Mex
ican law.
Victory for Railroad.
The Circuit Court refused to con
slider both pleas and the railroad COM
pany appealed to the Circuit Court of
Appeals This court thereupon certi-
fled the case to the United States Su-
preme Court on the question as to
whether it was competent for a Cir
cult Court to try the case and award
damages regardless Of the Mexican
laws. The reply of the Supreme Court
was made by Chief Justice Fuller,
who answered the question in the neg
atiye.

Willie Sell Killed
Father, Mother,
Brother, Sister
IN PEN|TtNT|ARY SINCE 1888
Went to Prison Mere Boy; is
Now Middle. Aged Man
Ills Crime,

Topeka, Kans,, April Ex-Governor
Hook today granted a conditional par
don to Willie Sell the famous quad
ruple murderer, who has been in the
state penitentiary at Lansing since
1883, serving life sentence. The
principal condition of the pardon is
that Sell is not to lecture or in any
way exhibit himself for money.
crimo Atrocioua One.
win Sell was mere sapling of a
country youth sixteen years old, living
with his parents on a farm near Erie
Kansas, in the southwestern part OF
the state, when his father, mother,
nineteen-year-old brother and fifteen
year-ol sister were murdered one
night while they slept
Victims Hacked to Pieces.
The crime was one of the most
revolving in the criminal annals of the
state, the victims being hacked tt
death with an ak as they lay asleep
The interior of the little farm house
was spattered with the brains and
blood of the victims and there were
evidences of q struggle.
Willie Sell Escaped.
The occupants of a neighborine
farm were shocked one morning when
Willie Sell rode up covered with
blood and informed them that robbers
had attacked their home in the night
and he believed that they had killed
his father and mother. He himsel
bore evidences of having been at
tackled, as a severe cash had beer
cut in his forehead and he was other
wise cut and bruised.
Suspicion Rested on Survivor.
Sell accompanied a party of farm
.ars back to his home ard there a hor
liible s.gAt met their gaze. The boy ex
hibited no grief and stepped over the
bodies in showing the neighbors how
the murder was committed, Just as il
those lying cold in death had been
no relation to him. This caused sus
picion to fall upon him.
Arrested and Convicted.
The coroner's jury returned a YER
dict charging the boy with the murder
and he was arrested. Although he
maintained his innocence and his at
torneys argued the physical impossi
bility for him to have committed
the crime. he was convicted and
sentenced to life Imprisonment
Served 10 Years.
Sell has served 19 years in prison
When he entered the penitentiary he
was boy 16 years of age; he
energies man 36 years old but aged
and premature grey, caused by his
long confinement. His freedom is the
result of a fight for executive clemen
cy extending over ten years.
