THURSDAY. JUNE IL, 1908.

When La Toilette ran counter to
his own party, he found that neither
rule, precedent, senatorial courtesy
nor constitution was of any value.
A party that has continuously taxed
one man to make the business of
another prosperous is not apt to sub
NIT to anything that can be kicked
aside as easily as the constitution, or
senatorial OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
1t was New York legislator who
said Whats the constitution between
friends" Mr.. La Toilette evidently
finds it unavailing as between him
and his enemies.

TAKING TESTIMONY
IN AN ANCIENT CASE
Attorneys Are Trying to Establish
Claim Against Government
for Indian Thefts.

Because the Navajo Indians stole
three thousand sheep from him, the
heirs of Bovaria Garcia of the San
Juan country, are now attempting to
collect from the United States the
value of the sheep at $1.50 per head.
Ellsworth ingalls,, an attorney for the
government, was in Santa Fe Monday
taking dispositions in the case. Ell
mer Veeder, an attorney from Las
Vegas was here representing the
heirs. Neither the attorney for the
government or for the heirs would
give out any information concerning
the case, although they did admit they
were taking depositions in the case.
This case revives the old history
of this territory when sheep stealing
was common and was the cause OF
many tragedies. Thirty or forty years
ago white people came into this ter
ritory and induced the Indians to
steal sheep, horses and other animals
for which they paid but a small sum,
and then either sold them in this ter
ritory or shipped them to eastern mar
|kets.
It has been such long time since
the theft of the sheep in the Garcia
case that there is some question
whether witnesses can be produced
who have personal knowledge OF the
affair.

times have been of the most strained
nature possible, he has accepted the

Plenty of Money to Make Pageant
Greatest in Years-Enormous
Crowd Expected.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 23.-lf
money has anything to do with making
the Inauguration a success, that OF
President-elect Taft on March 4th next
will be the greatest the country has
ever seen. Already Chairman Giles
of the finance committee has in his
possession a guaranty fund of $4,000,
which is $4,000 larger than the
amount received four years ago, and
it is expected that before contributions
cease the fund will be considerably
larger.
The chief source of revenue for the
return of this guaranty fund is the
inaugural ball, which brought in $46,-
600 four years ago, while the income
from the reviewing stand was $2O.-
900. It is expected that there will be
at least 100000 visitors in Washing
ton on Inauguration day.
