Coroner Holds Inquest.

Friday afternoon, ]. Frank
Maddry Coroner of this county,
summoned a jury and heard evil
dence regarding the killing of
little Ethel Horner. After hear
ing all evidence, as for as it was
possible, they did not return a
verdict in the case but after
some elaboration the following
report was made;
SPEEDING CONDEMNED.
1--WE, the jurors. being sum-
moned, sworn and enpanelled by
j. Frank Maddry, coroner, as
jury of inquest in the case of the
death of Ethel Horner, killed by
automobile on Roxboro street this
morning find as follows:
Il. That Ethel Horner was
killed by an automobile being
driven by T. E. Cheek.
''2. That the speed of the au.
tomobile at the time of the acct.
dent was, according to the evil
dence, which is made a part Of
this report, about 10 or IL mile:
an hour.
"3. That the city laws forbid ;
speed at higher rate than eigh
miles per hour.
"a. We further find: That j
is the habitual practice Of auto
mobile drivers in general to driv,
machines along this street at al
excession rate Of speed, as higl
as 30 or 40 miles per hour. II
our opinion this is a speed tina
is dangerous to human life
Roxboro street is veay thick
ly settled community and to ruI
at a greater rate than allowed b.
is dangerous and should be stop
ped. Not only is this the tim
in regard to Roxbore street but
is true as to many streets Of tn,
city. We would recommend tina
a more stringent law in regart
to automobile speed be enacted
and every effort made to enforc,
this law. Human lives are dali
in jeopardy and this should no
be allowed"

The City Election.

In the election held Tuesday
and ordered for the purpose of
electing one alderman from ward
|, Jim Foster was chosen. The
total vote polled was sixty and
distributed as follows:
Jim Foster, "A.
Davy Thomas, II.
Joe Foster, ,.
j. W. Cowart, |.
Six of the tickets had two can
didateS on from the same ward
and could not be counted while
the remaining sixteen tickets had
candidates from mayor to mar
shal and were ruled out by the
election managers upon the
grounds that the election was or
dered for one alderman only.
Several of these sixteen tickets
were also printed or typewriter
in purple ink and therefore could
not have been counted in any
election.
The sixteen tickets referred to
represented a movement on the
part of some of our citizens to
provide a City Government in
case the present one, holding
over on the advice of the Attor-
ney Generals department, should
he be held illegal by the courts.
1t was headed by r. A. Sowder,
Esq, for mayor and most of the
present aldermen.

Plains Fruit Outlook.

John knight says that the cold
spell, just preceding Easter.
killed all his peaches and pIums.
He has, perhaps, with the single
exception of w. +. Heller, the
incest young orchard about Can
yon City. His trees, especially
plums, promised an immense
crop of fruit and he is almost
sick over the blasting of his
hopes. He may be mistaken
about all being killed, the chan
ces are that he is.
The Knight as well as the Hell
ler orchards are near the TERRA
Blanco creek and on the slope
dipping south, and this situation
together with the fact of their
being much lower than the gen
eral level of the Plains is decid-
edly to their disadvantage when
spring freezes are in order. 1t
is so all over Texas, the lower
the lands and the nearer the wa
ter courses the more exposed are
the trees which grow upon them
to loss of fruit from late cold
spells. The freeze which did the
damage mentioned was very
light, in fact hardly a freeze at
all, and had the ground been full
of moisture no harm would have
resulted.
1t being barely a killing on the
low grounds it is safe to conclude
that the fruit on the general level
OF the country was not injured to
any great extent by the Easter
cold spell.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

One of the subjects in which men
who are at all interested in religion
are most interested, is whether or not
the prevailing scientific views of the
day can be harmonized with religious
teaching, more especially with Chris
tianity Most of the big preachers of
the day are men of advanced views, but
the laymen are slow to follow suit.
The question whether or not a man
can hold modern scientific views and
retain his Christian faith will be dis
cussed Sunday afternoon at the Y. M.
c. A. hall by DR.. Doremus Scudder and
Rev. G. d. Edwards. DR.. Scudder will
first speak in favor of the modern in
depreciation of things scientific and re-
ligious, after which Mr.. Edwards will

price of Alamogordo real estate has
not raised any within the past year,
yet on the other hand the prediction
of the croakers that the bottom woulG
drop out and that people would be
falling over themselves to sell their
possessions here has not proven true
in the Slightest degree During the
past three months a large number OF
Alamogordo properties have been sold.
mostly by owners who on account of
their railroad occupation were forced
to reside elsewhere. However, in no
instance have they sacrificed their
holdings, or if there is such case.
they did not have to do so. Many of
the buyers of property are people who
expect to reside here and this is GER
tainly the best indication that property
is as low as it will ever be.-Alamo-
