Both the United States and Terri
| torial grand juries of the present
term of court made their first report
yesterday, the former returning three
true bills, and the latter six indict-
ments and three no bills. The present
juries by the celebrity of their action
SO far give promise of making a rec
ord iQ despatching business.
After four days of work the FEEDER
al grand jury this afternoon reported
that it was through it's deliberations
and was discharged.
The work of securing the Federal
petit jury was completed today and
the jury was dismissed this afternoon
at three o'clock, when court adjourn
en- on both sides until tomorrow NOR
ming at nine o'clock, when the Tall
madge cases will come up.
OF the three indictments returned
by the Federal grand jury one defend
ant has not been arrested. The other
two are NJ. E. Cook, charged with vio-
lation of the Edmunds act, and Har-
ry Jones, charged with selling liquor
without a license.
The six Indictments returned by
the Territorial grand jury in it's first
report were as follows:
NJ. E. Cook, for larceny of coal and
posts.
o. V. Beck, for burglary of saddle,
blanket, etc, from the stable of S.
E. Best.
Moses Lewis, for the murder of Le-
land S. Terhune.
Harry Jones and mis- wife, Emma
Jones, (separate indictments) for
selling liquor without a license.
R. E. Doris, for the larceny of
coal and posts.
An important case was decided by
Judge Pope yesterday, the suit of the
City of Roswell against B. F. Daniel
in which defendant claimed title to
the fair ground property on a tax ii
tie. This case mas been to the SUI
preme court and returned once. Judge
Pope yesterday decided it in favor
of the city.

INDICTMENTS
AT SANTA EE


From Ell Paso Herald.
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Oct 22-Twenty-
five indictments covering nineteen
names, including officials of the
Pnelps-Dodge company, were return
ed by the Federal grand jury in ses-
sion here. The charge is conspiracy
to defraud the government of coal
lands in San Juan county, N. NJ, and
among the names are said to be DR..
l.. d. Ricketts,, formerly connected
with the Phelps-Dodge interests, now
general manager at Cananea; Charles
Spiess, an attorney for the Phelps
Dodge company at Las Vegas; Dave
White of Santa Fe, and others.
The government discharges jurymen
not voting for the indictments and
men on the 14th, one Monday, and
it is rumored that four more will be
let out today. A venire of five grand
jurymen has been ordered. Other in
dictments are expected. The land in
volved was eleven coal entries in
San Juan county taken by the Arizo-
ma people.
According 10 the story of the filing,
which was obtained from a reliable
source, the land was filed on about
two years ago. At that time both the
Phelps-Dodge interests and the S. P.
wanted to get into the coal field
around Pennington, N. NJ, and there
was quite fight in the courts be
tween the railroads. At this time
when it was thought that the Phelps
field and, acting, it is said, on advice
of counsel, DIR. Ricketts, and his sister
and his mother filed on a quarter sec
tion each, and several others filed on
a like amount. This land they still
hold and nothing has ever been done
so far as known looking towards tax
ing over the coal lands. The Phelps
Dodge people bought the El Paso-
Northeastern and the Dawson fields
and quit the Pennington field.
However, it is stated that a corpo-
ration can only acquire a certain
dHOu-lI OI coal ldnu ana IndL Ine
amount taken up by the persons in
dicted amounted to more than the
amount corporation could hold. Here |
there is a break in the evidence SO
far as known, for no corporation was
ever formed and the Pnelps-Dodgel
people quit the San Juan county field, |
but it is taken as a presumption that |
he special government attorneys
found evidences of conspiracy, judg |
ng from the reading of the indict-
nents, although it is said that the
original persons who filed on the land |
Ire still in possession.
The action of the government in
lischarging the jurors who do not
5ote for the indictments. in the opin-
on of attorneys in this city, will in
7alidate the action of the grand jury.

sheep for "a cents. A COW was more
expensive, but $1.5O would buy the
best in the market, while for fat hog
one need only part with 80 cents.
Pasture and arabic lands were RI
diculously cheap, 2 cents an acre for
the latter being considered fair an

wages for an ordinary laborer. Even

would nave been an accomplished
fact today Having defeated this pro-
posed outrage Arizona now again
asks for statehood and certainly the
time to push this matter is when
statehood has been promised to our
sister territory who has not a single
claim that Arizona does not possess.
We do not believe congress could
be persuaded or coerced to go on rec
ord with a measure SO unjust and in
defensible as would be a bill admit
ting New Mexico as a state and de-
nying admission to Arizona.

ARIZONA GETTING JUST
A TRIFLE EXCITED.

From Bisbee Review.
This paper can see no reason why
New Mexico should be admitted with
out the same favor being granted to
the People of Arizona. 1t was the
press and people of Arizona that kill
ed the joint statehood proposition so
dead that it will never be resurrected
by continually "prating,7 to use the
language of the New Mexican, about
the monstrous injustice it would have
visited upon both the people of Ari-
zona and New Mexico. While the Ar
izona press was s'prating" about this
palpable injustice and fighting it in
and out of congress the newspapers
of New Mexico were fawni1g at the
feet of President Roosevelt IN fear of
losing a few measly offices and the
favors of those who hold them.
To admit New Mexico now without
also admitting Arizona as a state
would be an act as indefensible as
was the proposed joining of both terri
tories into one state. If to declare this
is unwarranted @prating.'' = then we
must plead guilty and we believe the
entire press of the territory, with per-
haps one or two. exceptions. win be
willing TO enter pleas of guilty TO the
same charge Had it not been for the
opposition Df Arizona joint statehood

But, there is another and still grav-
er feature for those engaged in the
liquor traffic to consider If local SEN
timent in any community be so op-
posed to the enforcement of the ex-
listing law as to prevent local juries
from returning verdiets of guilty,
wnere the defendant has been clearly
proven to have violated the law, it
would be but an easy matter for the
present chief executive-if it were
not really a most pleasant and desir-
ed task-to have the law so amended
as to make all cases arising out of
its violation returna61e, say, to Travis
or other counties where the prohibit
ton sentiment prevails to overshad-
owing extent
That's the ultimatum. Liquor deal
ers in San Antonio and elsewhere
either horn of the dilemma as seems
to them best Either obey the existing
laws, Or consent to be hailed before a
jury of some strongly prohibition
county or district to decide the ques-
tion of their guilt or innocence
That's the problem in a nutshell.
The expense, the annoyance, the
loss of time, and the absolute certain
ty of conviction, in the event the
are transferred to other
than our local courts, should give
pause to gentlemen who openly vio
late the law, aad innocently and Sc
renely fail to scan the future.

edly reap the whirlwind

HAS DONE GOOD WORK
No Effort Has Been Spared to Push
E. Forward Our Claims for
Normal School.

From the reports from st.
Paul, we should Judge that the
delegates from Bemidji who have
been laboring in behalf of the
proposed new normal school
have done some very good work.
It is to be regretted that this
work was not performed ten
days previous. If it had been,
Bemidji might have been as
sured of the location of the nor
NAL school this year. Prof
Ritchie, 3 3. Mcdonald and G.
J. Pryor have returned from the
state capitol, but Senator Swed-
back and Mayor Carter remained
in ST. Paul and are doing splen-
did work. They are giving up
their time and best efforts to ad-
vancing Bemidji's interests.
These two, gentlemen are es.
pecially entitled to a great deal
of credit for their self. sacrificing
efforts in our behalf. IF we do
not get the normal school, it will
not be the fault Of Mayor Carter
or Senator Swed back.
