DEFENDANT WEEPS
BITTERLY At
TRIAL
PRESTON ADMITS
SHOOTING SILVA

HAWTHORNE, New, May Dur
ing the Smith murder trial,
NJ r. Preston, who is accused Of firing
the fatal shot, admitted that he had
shot John Silva to death, and be-
tween his sobs said that he had shot
him after Silva had threatened him
with shotgun. He wept bitterly and
SAID that he had cried after killing
Silva because he had taken a human
life. While Preston was testifying
his mother and sister wept, and Joe
Smith, the other accused man, bowed
his head in grief. The two accused
men seem to be greatly worried and
Preston is extremely nervous.

ELKO PUPIL SAYS ELKO TEAM

To FRAGILE in Beauty, In Wisdom
and in Figure, if net in the Game
of Basketball

A pupil of the Elko High school
said the following, which we clip
from the EllSo Free Press.
cit is just possible that our basket
ball girls may meet defeat at the
hands of the Winnemucca team next
Monday afternoon, but for beauty,
wisdom and figure, it is an absolutely
safe bet that our girls win beat them
to frazzle.'
In reply to this a boy from the
Winnemucca High school says:
81 never saw the Elko girls, but
say, if what this fellow up at Elko
says is true, then / am going up there
to school, for if they can beat our
girls for either beauty, wisdom or
figure, then they must be mighty beau
tiful, wise and well proportioned.

LINES RUN BY SURVEYORS
O. M. BARNES AND j. F.
ABEL DO NOT COINCIDE
A Trespass According to One Survey
and not a Trespass According to
Another

The determining features of the
trespass suit now being waged in the
distritc court was reached today when
the defense placed their first witness,
j. f. Abel, on the stand. According
to the lines run by Mr.. Abel, the lands
over which the defendants sheep
ranged is not land of certain section,
which section is owned by the plain
tiff, J. p Anderson, The surveys
made by County Surveyor 0. M.
Barnes include the land ranged over
by the defendants sheep in the sec
tion owned hy the defendant.
The Importance of the conflict in the
surveys as bearing on the trial was
quite evident by the severe cross ex-
animation through which Mr.. Abel
was put, The purpose of the proseeu-
ton was to prove that Mr.. Abel's sur
vey there was an error, and he was
subjected TO very many technical
questions, which he answered in a
prompt and concise manner. Author
tiles on the principles of surveying
were also brought forth and given TO
tae witness to test his knowledge in
surveying.
On the correctness of the surveys
of either Mr.. Barnes or Mr.. Abel lies
the determining feature OF whether
trespass has or has not occurred.
An important feature of the trial
was sprung just at the opening or
III. af eg ! snort recess yesterday
afternoon. Tae lard op which it is
,egc,. the trespass took place be-
longs to James P. Anderson, Sr., and
the suit mad he,n brought by James r
Anderson Sr. and James p. Anderson
Jr. This fact had been brought out
quite strongly in the opening of the
trial by Attorney VIM. s. Bonnifield.
To do away with the irregnlarity, the
attorneys for the plaintiff requested
to be allowed to amend the complaint

Depot Mail Box.

One of the railway postal clerks
who does not like to climb in and
out of his den to handle mail de-
posted in the U. S. box at the de-
pot recently wrote to the Chief
Clerk of the Railway Mail Service
stating that as Alamogordo is no
longer a division point trains would
not stop here long enough for SER
vice at the box.
He therefore recommended remov-
al of the receptacle.
Tha matter was referred to Post
master Hawkins who advised the
Department that train stops are
ample, in fact longer than when
Alamogordo was the end of run,
and that the box is a great con-
venience to passengers. Also to
the people of Alamogordo when
trains are running late as pouches
are required to be dispatched from
the >postofiice to the depot on reg
ular schedule, regardless of train
delays.
Promptly came the decision OF
the Department: "The box will re-
man for the present"
This box service, by the way, is
never accorded ordinary stations.

ATTORNEY
REPROVED
Does Not Treat Cooke GOurte-
OusIy.
Auditor Of Water Pierce Oil Com
panp Explains ''PrOft and
Loss" Accounts.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 16.-The
legislative committee investiga-
ting the charges against Senator
Jos. W. Bailey at the opening OF
the days session reproved the
attorneys representing Senator
Bailey for what was deemed dis
courteous treatment of Repre-
sentative Cooke, who is prose-
cutting the charges, and insisted
that both the committee and the
prosecutor be treated more re-
spectfully by the legal repre-
sentatives, as we'll as by Senator
Bailey. Apologies were prompt
ly offered.
A. j. Hutchinson, auditor Of
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company,
referring to several notes and
vouchers charged to the account
of profit and loss on June 80,
1902, explained that they were
charged first to bills receivable,
then to legal expenses, and final
ly to profit and loss.
The inquiry turned to a vouch-
er for $I,75O. The witness said
he had entered it on the general
ledger, u. W. B., Texas case" "
He said that this was the same
entry made by j. p. Gruet in
another volume. He said that
this item was entered as a de-
mand loan.
Asked if there was anything
to indicate a 81 200 voucher had
been substituted for one that
had been distracted, the witness
thought certain evidence showed
the voucher had been made out
after the book entry. He could
not say who Senator Bailey's
note, which was endorsed by
Mr.. Pierce, who was known to
be solvent, should be charged to
profit and loss.
1t was decided that no more
witnesses for the prosecution be
called at present. Subpoenas,
however, we're issued for several
persons to explain a report that
Chairman O'Neil had accepted a
present from Senator Bailey.

BIG RAILWAY
HOSPITAL
To Be Built at MamOgOTdO
By the E. P, & s. W. BY. Com
pany.

1t is rumored that the FL Paso
d Southwestern Rail Road Com
pany are to build a large hospital
at AlamogOrdo, and we are in
formed that the building will be
a structure of a modern design
with all latest equipments. The
advantages of a hospital at this
place for the railroad company
are too we'll known for comment
at this time, and we are glad to
note that the E. Z. & S. W. peo-
pie recognize our superior loca-
tion for hospital purposes, also
that this move OIL the part of the
railroad company shows beyond
q shadow of a doubt that the COM
pany stand ready and willing to
do all they can for Alamogordo,
just as they will for any town on
their line. The company re-
moved their shops from here to
: El Paso in order to improve it's
service, and the same principle
will apply to the building of
their hospital on its eastern line
bit Alamogordo because it will
mean an improvement of its
hospital service. The fact that
he present hospital has never
been abandoned at this place
shows that the company has ever
recognized this as a hospital
point and it is only carrying out
he company's original ideas
when they build the large brick
hospital, as it will be remem-
