The Simple Life and Conta-
gion of Hurry was the subject
OF an interesting and instructive
lecture delivered by Marshall
Choate Crouch, last evening at
the assembly hall of the high
school. 1t was the last of the
series of five entertainments
given here this season under the
auspices of the Midland Lyceum
Bureau.
Mr. Crouch is an ardent ex-
ponent of the so-called simple
life. The keynote of his preach
ment was TO slacken the madden
ing speed which robs life of its
genuine pleasures and take a
journey back to the old lost days
when people were unaffected by
worldly things. His discourse
contained many wholesome
thoughts crouched in attractive
language and delivered in Il
delightful manner. 1t was inter
SperSed with droll humor and
apt illustration which added t.
its charm and forcefulness
The audience was an appreciativt
one and the entire lecture was
listened to with attention"

WATER RESOURCES OF
RIO GRANDE VALLEY
Water Supply Paper Issued by Geo
logical Survey Contains Much
Valuable Information.

The water supply of the Rio
Grande valley from the southern
border of New Mexico to Santa
Fe is described in Water Supply
and Irrigation paper No. 1888,
Water Resources of the Rio
Grande Valley in New Mexico
and Their Development" recent
ly issued by the United States
geogical survey. The investi-
cations made in this region were
along two general lines. one
pertaining to the ground waters
and their utilization, the other
to the conservation and storage
of the surface waters. In the
northern part of this region a
comparatively small amount of
water derived from the mount
aims sustains small but per-
manent flow in the river. but in
the southern part of the stream
the bed is often dry. The in
vestigation showed that much of
the diminution in the volume of
the Rio Grande is due to the
fact that large part of the
water of the river sinks into the
porous material of the valley
bottom. So much water enters
the ground from the river and
tributary streams that there is
opportunity for the development
OF underground water for
irrigation. Water Supply paper
No. 1888, which may be obtained
on application to the director of
the United States geological sur
vey, Washington, ID. c., contains
an account of the geological con-
ditionS that affect the occurrence
of underground waters and dis
cuSsions of quantity and quality
of underground water tn at is
available. There are also des-
criptions of the various reser-
voir sites that have been survey
ed.

BILLY MARTINS JEWEL CASE

Miniature Bomb Frightens Legis-

w. f.. Martin. chief clerk of

utation as an anarchist. Not
that he really harms any one
but he has frightened Il number
of staid Legislators nearly out of
their boots and has not except
ed anyone from a visitation of
his practical jokes. The trouble
began when Mr.. Martin bought
an innocent looking jewel case
covered with red plush. The
box is in reality miniature homb
although it is harmless. Mr.
Martin walks up to friend,
hands him the jewel case with
the remark that is a little present.
The "honored" friend promptly
murmurs thanks and presses the
button to open the box. There
follows a loud report and puff
of smoke generally causing the
friend to jump clear off the floor
and drop the box. Even the
Governor was not exempt. AS
he entered the Claire lobby this
morning, Mr.. Martin handed
him the the jewel case with the
usual result. AS result of the
jewel case Mr.. Martins friends
are having all packages address,
ed to them opened by a bell boy

CHAUNCEY BUTLER DEAD
Former Resident Of SocOrro County
and Student at the School
of Mines.
FAMILY TROUBLE AND SUICIDE
Wife Sues for Divorce and Husband
Takes Dose of Arsenic
and Dies.

GnaunCey T.. Butter, formerly
we'll known in Socorro county
and at one time a student at the
School of Miness committed sui
eide at his home in Denver last
Saturday because OF family
trouble. Mr.. Butler Was stu
dent in the School of Mines ten
years ago and afterwards made
a brilliant record for himself in
his chosen line of work. About
seven years ago he married
Miss Pearl Bell. The story of
the suicide is told in the Dem
yer Post of January % as fol-
lows:
Heart trouble or suicide end
ed the life of Chauncey f. But
Ter, mining engineer, at his
home, 1888 Quitman street, this
morning. DR.. Harry c. Brown,
the physician called. and Coroner
Rollins favor the theory of self
destruction, with arsenic as the
means.
"Mr. Butler arose as usual
this morning and dressed him
self. He went into the cellar
and attended the fires in the
house, then came upstairs. He
passed through the dining room
and went into the parlor, where
he sat down a few minutes. He
was seen eating something which
had the appearance of a lump of
sugar. Then he went into a bed
room and threw himself upon Il
bed.
Shortly afterwards a servant,
attracted by heavy breathing,
discovered Mr.. Butler in a stupor,
Unable to arouse him, she called
DIR. Brown, who reached the
house a few minutes later. Mr..
Butler breathed but two or three
times after the arrival of the
physician.
Coroner Rolling was notified
at once. A search of the house
was made, and in the basement a
quantity of arsenic was found in
Jumps and powder. 1t is believ-
ed that Mr.. Butler was eating Il
piece of the poisonous substance,
instead of sugar. The arsenic
was of use in assaying and for
that purpose was kept by Mr..
Butler. The coroner pronounc-
ed it a case of poisoning, and ad-
vanced the suicide theory.
Mr.. Butler leaves wife and
three children. Two weeks ago
Mrs. Butler left her husband and
went to California, taking with
her the youngest child, aged ,.
Some years ago they were sep
arated for some time.
Just before she left Mrs. But
ler filed suit for divorce, charg-
ing extreme cruelty.
For about year Mrs. Butler
has been a constant companion
of Mrs. Zadra, whose husband
committed suicide Feb. 13, 1906,
the two cases affording a strik-
ing similarity.
1T is said that on the morn
ing mail one of Buffers friends
received a postal card from him,
in which he said he was about tC
commit suicide.
"The three children are Arte.
misia, aged 5; Chaunccy Jr.
aged 3, and Eldredge, aged ,

charge by his brother-in-law
