MEYER IS MINED
is SHERIFF
As Successor to Manuel Sanchez, Removed by
Judge Mann.

The charges against Manuel Sanchez
y Sanchez, made by Captain Fred For
noff, of the Mounted Police of the ter
ritory, came up for hearing in the Dis
trict Court here last Saturday. The
case was begun on Saturday, and con-
tinued on Monday, the jury having been
in charge of bailiffs over Sunday. Of
the eight separate counts constituting
the charges, witnesses could not be had
at this time in two, and these were dis
missed by District Attorney Clancy.
The case was hard fought by ex-At-
torney General Pritchard, who had en-
objection ready for almost every step
made by the prosecution. During sew
eral of the addresses by the attorneys,
as to what should or should not be ad
mitted, the court excused thd jury from
the room. The records of Liquor and
Gaming licenses of the Probate Clerk
were offered in evidence, but these were
ruled out by the court, as it was evi-
dent that the same had been changed,
or tampered with to such extent as to
make the same unreliable.
Late in the afternoon Monday, the
court instru cted the jury to return
verdict Of acquital on count No. 3, and
guilty on counts Nos. l, 4, 6, and 8,
counts Nos. 2 and having been dis
missed by the prosecution. Judge
Mann declared the defendant guilty as
charged in the five counts and the office
of Sheriff of Torrance county vacant.
Julius Meyer, one of the Mounted Po-
lice, was named by the Court to have
charge of the office until Governor
Hagerman should appoint a successor
to Mr.. Srnchez.
On Tuesday, petitions and messages
were wired the Governor, recommend
ing different ones for the position, Aca-
sio Gallegos and Pedro Schubert being
the favorites. Late Tuesday night, a
message was received from the execu-
tive that Julius Meyer was to be the
appointee, his commission arriving on
Wednesdays mail.
The appointment is splendid one and
meets with the approval of every resi-
dent of Torrance county who desires to
see justice reign, and no one who knows
Mr.. Meyer, and his friends are legion,
can say ought against him. Had there
been TIE least idea that there was an
opportunity Of securing Meyer for the
position, he would have had the SUI:
port of every one interested in seeirg
criminals and offenders brought to JUS
tice. Noone thought that, holding the
position which he did, there was any
chance of securing him here, but he has
graciously accepted and will make an
good officer. In this mat
ter Governor Hagerman has again
shown that he has the interest and well
fare of the residents of Torrance county
at heart.

The Earliest Anchors.

The earliest anchors of which we
have any record were of wood, and
gradually, through the iron anchor Of
one hook and the anchor in the shape
of a rake, there was evolved the an
Choir with the straight thick shank,
the two curving arms with flattened
extremities and the long cross stock.
The process of storing one Of these old
anchors was long and laborious one.
1t was hove close up to the capstan
or windlass; man was let down by
rope to hook on huge tackle, by
which the anchor was then hoisted,
still perpendicular, to stout project
ing timber. Then the lower end had
to be hoisted up horizontally by an
other tackle and the whole made fast
In the modern stockless anchor a
chain is attached to it at the balancing
point, and this Is passed through a
pulley at the head of the anchor davit.
When the anchor is high enough, davit
and all swing round until the anchor
is over the billboard, where it rests
and is secured by chains.-London

NEW YoRK's EAST SIDE.
Where Cents Are Common and Big

Where Cents Are Common and Big
Bills Are Eyed With Suspicion.
"When you think Of the millions in
New York and the money spent on
Fifth avenue and Broadway" said the
woman, sit is pitiful to see the dearth
of it on the east side. 1t is noticeable
most of al in the change they give
you-always pennies. Go to the gro
Gerry, and you come back with your
pocketbook filed with pennies. Fortu-
nately they are not cart wheel pennies
such as they have In England or you
would have to call messenger boy to
carry them home for you.
81 went into little place near First
avenue the other day to have my face
massaged. The masseur was an accom-
plished Austrian. He did the work
beautifully, but when handed him a
dollar-it was 90 cents owed him-he
handed me back 20 cents of the change
in pennies. I don't know why, but it
seemed pitiful thing to me that he
shouldn't have had that much silver In
change in the house.
''They stare at you aghast, these east
side people, If you ask them to change

may be counterfeit And as for ten
they won't change ten at all on First

He Was Overdue.

The master of large southern plan
tation would fire off small cannon
every evening at 6 o'clock as a signal
to the people living on his land. One
evening at the time for the usual boom
the master was away. Two Of his ne
groes, John and Jim, had long desired
to fire the cannon, but had never had
chance to do so. They decided to
make the trial on this afternoon, but
thought that it would be best for them
to have the cannon make no sound. It
was decided that Jim should hold a
water bucket over the mouth Of the
cannon while John applied the fuse.
The piece was touched off. there was a
great boom, and John looked up to find
that his friend was gone.
When the master returned John was
very busy in the field. "John," said he,

SLANG of Other DAYS.

Slang has always been a fruitful
source for the expansion of language,
and instances may be multiplied of
words now respectable which were
once tabooed as vulgarisms. But, on
the other hand, there have been many
slang phrases in use for centuries
which have never become acceptable
to the purists. AS long ago as 1850 the
celebrated letter writer Horace Wal
pole used to speak of Sitting guzzIing''
and getting drunk as an owl" Then
again in the diary of one of the most
prominent woman writer's of the eight
zenith century, Frances Burney, are
found good slang phrases of the Amer
lean college girl of today, as, for In
stance, 81 sneaked out" did you
ever know such toad?" and Il had
a vile cold."-St Louis Republic.

Working In Steel Masks.

The workman wore a steel mask
with glazed eyeholes, rubber suit,
rubber gloves and rubber boots, and he
carried a pair of tongs of silvery alu-
minimum.
"In certain departments of the
plant" said the dynamite manufac-
turer, "all our workmen are dressed
like that. They must be. Otherwise
they would be smeared with chemicals
and splashed with acids that would eat
their flesh like liquid fire."
But the aluminium tongs?'
'1They are for lifting the gun cotton
out of it's nitric acid bath. Aluminium
is the only metal upon which the nitric
acid has no effect"
He turned to the workman.
Everything all right, George?" he
said.
$50, so, came sepulchral answer
from behind the mask of steel.-New

Plaster of Paris.

For experimental purposes and where
but a few castings of medium and
light weight are required plaster Of
paris has many good advantages as a
material for pattern making. 1t Is
light, it can be given a smooth surface,
it is easily given any required shape
and it can be added to indefinitely.
While it is brittle, this Is more than
Offset by the saving in, first cost and
the quickness with which the pattern
may be prepared. Plaster of paris sets
in from three to six minutes, but If for
any reason 1t is desired to keep the
mass plastic for longer period one
drop of glue to a five gallon mixture
will keep it soft for couple of hours.
Plaster of paris mixed with cold water
has an expansion of about one-six-
teenth of an inch to the foot when
hardening. Should this be undesirable
mix with warm or lime water. and
there is no expansion. Machinery. ~

Using matter to place great stress on
the excellence of the trout fishing to be
reached by their lines, and in order to
provide the trout it was necessary from
time to time to plant the advertised
streams with fry.
On one occasion an old gardener
named Conelly, who had charge of
the station. grounds, was sent out with
the cans Of fry, procured from the
state hatchery, and a railroad map
marked to show exactly where to plant
the tiny fish.
Conelly returned that night, however,
with part of the fry still implanted.
He needed further instructions from
the general passenger agent, who had
marked the map.
''Say, mister" said Conelly, scratch
ing his perplexed head with one hand
and pointing to the can with the other,
"shall l plant thin fish wild the tails

"Why," shouted the irascible agent,
"you laundering blockhead''-

Wouldn't Tip, So He Grew a Beard.

knew man who was conscien-
tious objector to tipping BARRIERS and
could not shave himself. He told me
once that, according to careful calcula-
ton, he had been forced to travel con-
siderably more than 100 miles during
one year in order to find new barber
shops where his unbending attitude on
the tip question was unknown and to
spend rather more than E5 in bus and
cab fares in doing so. Finally, having
exhausted the whole of inner London
and most of the suburbs, he had to
give up the struggle and grow beard.
