SANTA FE MAN
FREEZES TO DEATH
AtaIno Gold Perishes in Snowstorm
Near Galisteo-Sheep Herder
Finds Body.

Caught out at night in binding
snoWstorm and wandering around in
search OF a place of shelter, only to
perish from cold and exposure, such
was the fate of Atalino Gold whose
body was discovered yesterday
near Galisteo to which place he had
gone from here last Sunday. The re-
mains were brought to this city today
for burial and the funeral will prob
ably take place tomorrow.
The indications are that the de-
ceased was frozen to death, as he did
not have an overcoat on and was
hardly clad warm enough to with
stand the rigorous weather with its
cold and dampness, The body was
found in a lonely spot several miles
from Galisteo by another sheep-herder
and it was taken to Galisteo. The
news of his death did not reach Santa
Fe until late yesterday afternoon
when telegram was sent to his
brother from Kennedy asking as to
what disposition should be made of
the remains. Acting upon instructions
the body was conveyed over land last
night to Lamy. and was brought from
there to this city on this forenoon $
train Undertaken Milton J. Heberer
of the Wagner Furniture Company
was notified by the relatives to take
charge of the remains and he went to
Lamy last evening in company with
the brother of the deceased
Atalino Gold was about thirty-eight
years of age and unmarried. He was
we'll known in this city where he had
spent practically his entire lifetime.
A few days ago he was employed by
Antonio Chavez, sheepman living in
the little town of Galisteo, as a sheep
herder during the lambing season.

COLDFIELD SALOON
BEATS GOLD MINE.
Tex Richards Resort in Nevada Min
ing Camp Clearing Almost
$4,000 Month.

Goldfield, New, May by all the
odds the best answer to the question
whether Goldfield drinks and CANDLES
il found in the report of the Northern
saloon, controlled by stock company
headed by Tex Rickard. This place
yesterday declared dividend OF S5
per cent for the last month alone, and
has averaged 80 per cent month dur
ing the last several months. The di-
rectors could easily have made the div
idend 40 per cent or even 50.
The company is capitalized at only
100000. An average of 30 per cent a
month on this capital means a return
of $360,OO0 a year, or an annual divi-
dend Of SO per cent on a million. The
net winnings from the gambling tables
after all expenses were paid were $780,
431, and from the bar after all the ex-
penses. $15,02S, total Of $45,46o for
one month alone. This is said to es-
tablish a record.

AGAINST EXTENSION
OF JEMEZ RESERVE
Sheep Men VIII Make Vigorous Pro
test--CIaim Land VaiueIess Ex-
Cept for Grazing.

r. C. Gortner, attorney for the Los
Pinos Wool Growers Association re-
turned last evening from Antonito and
Ortiz, Colorado, where meeting OF
the association was held this week
The members of this organization and
all sheep men of the northern por'
tion of the Territory are stirred
up over the project to extend the
Jemez Forest Reserve eastward from
it's present boundaries, to the Rio
Grande, taking in the land through
which the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad runs, from Tres Piedras to
the Colorado line.
1t is stated that the Interior Depart
ment is seriously considering this ey-
tension The land proposed to be in
cluded is almost treeless, and fit only
for grazing; not more than five per
cent-ef it contains trees, and those are
small and scrubby. There is no
stream or spring of water on The
land 1t has been used for half a
century past by sheep men as a Win
ter pasture, and If it is included in
the forest reserve it will simply tax
those using the land to the extent OF
several thousand dollars per year, or
force them to abandon that portion of
the Territory,
The sheep cannot be taken north
because of the Colorado state line and
the quarantine laws of that state:
they cannot go west, because the
TERRA Amarillo grant bounds the Je-
mez Reserve on that side; they can
not cross the ohasm of the Rio
Grande to the east, and they cannot
20 south, on account Of the Jemez Re-
serve and the rules which prohibit
those occupying one district from en-
tering another.
Petitions are being generally signed
protesting against tine extension OF
the forest reserve and strong effort
will be made to convince the president
that the land is unfit for forestry pur-
poses and not of the kind contempla-
ted in the laws authorizing the crea-
ton OF forest reserves.

WORK BY Y. |. SULLIVAN
Force of Men Employed in
Building Dykes and Max
Other improvements.

Between forty and fifty men are be.
Ing employed in the work of improv-
ing the Rio Grande in the vicinity OF
Albuquerque and Bernalllo which is
being done under the supervision of
Territorial Engineer v L. Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan is we'll satisfied with
the progress being made considering
the TACT that the river is now ex-
tremely high and the work is necessar-
lily SLOW. The river went on rampage
at this point and formed a new chan
mel, much to the menace of the adioin
ing property and it was on this ac.
count that the work at this place was
given first attention.
Mr.. Sullivan gave out the following
statement today concerning the work
which he has in hand:
'1n a great many places the Rio
Grande flows through low level valleys
having very low banks and in times of
floods overhows.
This has made it necessary to
build dikes to protect the valleys and
towns from floods and the Territory
has provided for Improvement of same
by House Bill No. "A of the last I.egis-
lative Assembly.
Work is now progressing very well
in Bernalillo County, about forty men
and twelve teams are building dikes
and dams and cutting channels
"At the north end of said county the
river had left its natural bed and fol
lowed out into the valley an old ditch
for over mile and to point very
near the old dixie and there overhowed
and returned back to the river bed.
part of the water coming in above the
old Cerillos bridge and part below;
this little old ditch was converted in a
raging river and the returning water
from same would have very soon un-
dermined the old dixie and then been
left to run promiscuously over the
valley.
"No water was running in the old
channel at all for over a mile above
the old bridge and part of the improve
ment work has been in cutting small
straight canal up through the old
channel and then damming off the wa
ter flowing in the new channels; this
little canal guided the water as it was
forced back thereby making it do its
own work of cutting out the old chan
mel straight through to the old bridge.
High water at this time Of the year
has made the work quite difficult, but
the necessity was very urgent, how
ever, the work is progressing very
nicely and it is hoped that the higher
water will hold off long enough to al
low the new work to be completed.
"Other places where the channel is
becoming crooked, little canals are be-
ing cut to straighten same and the
banks are being protected where the
current is beginning to undermine
them.
New dikes are being constructed
where necessary and old ones are be-
ing built up to true grade and the
weak places made strong.
"The work in Sandoval County has
not yet commenced but some dyke
work will soon be done and in the fall
when the river is low, and men and
teams are more at liberty, the river
will be Strengthened in several places
and banks protected

SERIOUS AFFRAY
At SANTIAGO
Cuban Police At
tack Sailors of u.
S. Gunboat
TEN ARE BADLY INJURED
Details Regarding Clash
Lacking-..To Be Fully
Investigated.

Washington, May 1.-The navy de-
partment has received cablegram
from Commander Wood Of the Dixie
at Havana, transmitting a report from
Commander Tappan, OF the Gnnbpat
Tacoma, now lying at Santiago, Cuba,
stating that trouble had occurred
there between some sailors of his
ship on shore leave and the local au-
thorities. The dispatch promises de-
tails later.
Ten Sailors Badly Hurt.
While full report of the affray at
Santiago is not yet at hand, 1t was
learned at the navy department today
that Commander Tappan has cabled
that ten of the personnel of the Ia.
coma were injured in fight with the
police of Santiago. One of these, Har-
ry Lee, fireman has a fractured
skull and gunshot wound in his right
lung and his condition is serious. The
others were not seriously hurt.
Commander Tappan's dispatch
states that these men who composed
the liberty party Of the Tacoma were
attacked by the police while return
ing to their ship at half past one yes
terday morning
Cause Of Trouble Unknown.
No cause is assigned for the attack
but 1t is supposed that the men were
perhaps singing as sailors are apt to
do when ashore In almost all large
ports unless the men are absolutely
disorderly the police let them proceed
on their way without molesting them.
So far as the naval officers here know
this has been the custom at Santiago
ever since the American ships made
that station a port. The officials are
at a loss to conceive the reason for
the change of attitude at Santiago.
Don't Believe Men Were to Blame.
They scarcely believe these men
were much to blame and they are GER
tain they could not have been the ag-
gressors because Commander Tappan
reports that they were attacked" by
the police and the character of the
injuries sustained by the men indicate
that they were assaulted with clubs,
swords or bayonets.
No mention is made of the injury
inflicted on the police which is not
surprising as the liberty men are not
allowed to carry weapons.
