THE CRUEL TORTURES
CLAIM ANOTHER
VICTIM
Especial to The sentinel.)

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Apr 17.-Al-
though compelled to abandon the
crucifixion feature of their fanatical
religion in recent years, the Peniten-
tes sacrificed another member to
their barbarous rites at San Mateo
Wednesday, in addition to the in
sane torturing of each other which
marks their "holy week"
Francisco Montana. one of the
small bands of Penitentes who live
in Valencia count, was leader
among those who gathered in the
little town to observe "holy week, :"
and while others were torturing or
enduring torture of whipping on the
bare back until blood ran from their
wounds in streams, he volunteered
to carry the cross"
A wooden cross Weighing several
hundred pounds was tied to Monta-
nos back, with ropes passing under
his chin, and he staggered about un-
der the great weight for some time
before it was noticed that he was
almost exhausted and that blood was
streaming from his neck.
When the ropes were united from
about his throat he fell dying, the
cords having severed his jugular.

in BLOODY
BATTLE
(By AssocIated Press. J

French column posted on Talzaza
hill, which commands the plain of
Tamlet, was attacked flercely at day
light yesterday by the Berbers, who.
with the nomad Arabs, have been
concentrating for some weeks past
on the western frontier of Algeria.
Although greatly surprised. the
French troops rallied, fought the at
tacking party desperately, and not
only beat off the enemy but pursued
them for six miles. So hot was the
pursuit that the Arabs in their head
long flight abandoned their dead and
wounded
Several of the green flags of the
prophet also fell into the hands of
the French.
The victory, however, was costly.
The French had % men. including
one officer killed, and 100, including

Four posses are in pursuit, and, as
the robbers secured only about half

The robbery was one of the most
daring ever committed in this part
of the state, the scene of many bold
holdups by the Daltons. the Starr
and other gangs of outlaws, who
from time to time have made their
rendezvous in the mountainous coun-

81 keenly regret that no response
has been made to this urgent appeal
in certain counties. Complaints have
come to me from thoroughly repu-
table citizens in Gunnison. Garfield
and Ouray counties in which it is
said that liquor is sold in open vio-
lation of the law. These citizens de-
clare that their district attorneys
will not prosecute violators of the
law when informations are filed.
These officers are, therefore, refus-
ing to keep the solemn oaths which
they took to proceed against law
breakers when informations were Of
fered by reputable citizens.
at. therefore, becomes my duty
to exhaust the power which is COM
mitted to me under our statute to
secure the execution of the laws
dred vices. Under our statutes 1t Is
made your duty TO appear for the
state, prosecute and defend all ac-
tions and proceedings, civil and
criminal, in which the state shall be
a party or interested when required
to do so by the governor or general
assembly
81 hereby require you to proceed
to prosecute any men who may be
guilty of selling liquor or gambling
in open defiance of the laws in Gar
field and in Gunnison and in Ouray
counties. l name these three coun-
ties because the complaints from
these three counties have been more
numerous and urgent. We shall
take up the complaints from other
counties Immediately when you shall
nave completed the work of prosecu-
ton in these three.
Numbers of these complaints
have been in my hands for some
weeks. | have delayed sending this
letter until after the spring elections
so that no just charge could be made
that we were influenced from politi-
cal consideration in our efforts to Sc
cure obedience to the laws of the
state of Colorado.
Very sincerely,
'HENRY A. BUCHTEL,
Governor. "
The attorney general states that
he will send personal letters to the

PRESIDENTS
LAWS
Especial to The sentinel.) }

Washington, Apr. lit is an
nounced that the leaders of congress
have notified President Roosevelt
that several laws which he earnest
ly desires to have enacted at this
session will not be put through.
A recapitulation shows that when
the session ends, congress will prob
ably have failed to pass many i'm
portant measures. including the bill
to restrict the power of the federal
courts in the issuance of injunctions
in labor disputes. an amendment to
the Sherman antitrust law SO as to
establish a system of federal licen-
ses for interstate corporations; en-
abling railroads to form traffic as
sociations: the prohibition of rail-
way blacklist; the removal of the du-
ty on wood pulp; the construction of
four battleships instead of two.
Very few of the measures the pres
ident is anxious to get through will
be passed.

$1,000 FOR
Loss OF A FINGER
Especial to The sentinel.l

Breckenridge, Colo, Apr. IL
One thousand dollars for the loss of
finger! That was the amount of
damages awarded William G. Jones
against the North Star Lumber Com
pany by jury in the county court
Wednesday night, and is the largest
Judgment ever entered in case of
it's kind in Summit county.
The suit was bitterly fought by
the lumber company, and more than
an ordinary interest was shown by
the people of Breckenridge general
ly. Several witnesses were intro
duced by both sides. Jones contend
ed that poor equipment and careless
ness on the part of the company re-
suited in his finger being cut off in
the North Star saw mill.
Almost the entire afternoon and
evening were taken up in presenting
the case; but it took the jury only
a few minutes to decide that the in
jury was worth $1,000 to the suf-
ferer.

a frog alive.
"It can't be DONE" declared a

The crowd went searching on the

medicine, and collected.
Then the nearest doctor of medi-

remedies. Sapp was able to get up
Wednesday and attempted to play
ball. The three cheers and a tiger
he received when he stepped into
the diamond restored his vigor; but
not enough to tempt him to another
hoptoad, he says.
