It would be singular rs well as extre-
mely unfortunate If during his a
ministratioa a policy should be adop-
public lands which would defeat the
of arid lands with the aid of the ma
tional government.
The best way to help the existing
coal companies is to prevent the peo-
.ple from acquiring possession of coal
lands now belonging to the Federal
Government. 1t is idle to talk about
developing mineral lands under a IL
cense system. Grants and licenses
of that kind may work well enough
under monarchial governments, but
they are so entirely out of line with
the American spirit, that the people
of this country would have nothing
to do with them.
The first duty of congress in re
spect to the public lands is to protect
the people in their right to acquire
homes on the public domain. These
lands arela part of the heritage of the
people, and every faculty should be
provided for turning them into home
steads. The settlement and future
growth of states like Colorado and
Wyoming demands that the public
lands be left as open as possible for
the establishment of homes by the
thousands of people who are looking
with eagerness toward the Far West
and it's opportunities.

BOY AWAITING TRIAL
CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 12.-In the Col
umbia county Jail at st. Helen, a lit
tie town thirty miles northwest of
here, Albert Gilman, a ID year old
boy is awaiting trial on a charge of
having murdered mis- foster mother
Mrs. Ayers. The youth has confess
ed to the crime telling how he slip
ped up behind the aged woman, peace
fully knitting in her rocking chair,
and sent a bullet crashing through
her brain. Inc motive for the deed
is thought by the officers to have been
robbery, although the boy denies this
killing his benefactress was that she
had threatened to whip him.
She struck me with a piece of
wood" said the boy in his confession,
land threatened to beat me. The
rifle was in the hall and | picked it
up and shot her. / did not feel sorry
for what l done until | saw her fall
off chair, with he blood squirt
ing from the wound. Then 1 ran
from the house and told the neighbors
that some one had shot mother"
1t vas % until some time after
the crime that the boy was suspected.
When he was finally by the
sheriff he admitted that he was the
murderer. Through it all he was
very cool, nonchalelt and self-possess
ed as any hardened criminal. He said
that he was sorry, but the words were
unimpassioned and expressed no real
grief. If he has ever suffered the
pangs of remorse his ~jailors are no
aware of it.
The suspicion that the murder was
nnld hIooloI a-l
borne out by the discovery thai Mrs.
Ayers was twice robbed a short time
before her tragic death, once of SO
and at another time of SIS. While the
boy was not suspected at the time. it
mas since e found that he had sur
reptitiously purchased a $40 rifle pro
badly purchased with the money stol-
en- from his foster mother, that he
later killed. On h night of the
crime h Investigations of the sher-
if discovered tina the bed where Mrs
Ayers slept and where she was
known to secret money. had been ran
sacked. 1t is this fact that causes
many to believe that the boy did not
commit the murder in a passion of an
ger, as he says, but that his motive
was robbery.

age and doe not look to be more than

MORE VOTES CAST
THAN WE'RE COUNTED.

The following is an account of the
Larrazolo-Andrews contest cast in one
precinct in CoEfax county:
The hearing in the Larrazolo-An-
drews delegate election contest was
closed in this precinct Tuesday Night,
r ebruary 5th. Forty witnesses were
heard on behalf of contestant. These
forty testified that they had voted
for LarraZolo. and swore on the wit
ness stand that the ballot box was in
visible during the entire conduct OF
the election. The prosecution alleges
that it had nine other reliable wit
nesses who voted for Larrazolo who
are now absent from the territory or
the precinct.
1t is alleged by the Democrats that
effort vas made to intimidate wit
nesSes, but none were shaker except
one young man who it is claimed,
after signing a certificate that he had
voted for Larrazolo and would so tes-
tify, wnen put on the stand swore
he voted for Andrews.
The official returns gave Larrazolo
thirty votes in that precinct. Contes-
tant alleges hat the result of the
hearing gives him not less than forty
nine.
The rule or ruiz policy now being
followed by the Bursum gang il San
ia Fe is disgusting to all respectable
republicans il this precinct, especially
since the revelation of how elections
have been conducted in Mr.. Bursum's
own cou1ty.-Albuquerque Journal.
