Stay of Execution
for Condemned
Murderer
APPEALS TO HIGHER COURT
Federal Judge Reverses His
Decision in Habeas
Corpus Writ.

Chicago, June 12-After every de-
tail had been arranged for his execu.
ton and but a few moments before
the march to the death chamber was
to have been begun, Herman Billik
the Bohemian fortune teller, condemn
ed to die for the murder of five mem
bers of the Vizreal family, was today
granted stay of execution until he
has been afforded an opportunity to
appeal his case to the United States
supreme court.
Judge lands of the U. S. district
court, who yesterday declined to grant
the petition for writ of habeas cor
pus, today decided that the prisoner
had right to appeal from that decis
ion. The case will now be taken to
the highest federal tribunal which will
pass upon the constitutionality of the
questions involved.
Billik had bid his aged mother
sisters, and brothers goodbye and had
given up all hope. When pressed for
a confession by the priest he swore
before God that he was innocent OF
the crime with which he is charged
Upon being told that he had been
granted reprieve the condemned man
cried for joy and shortly afterwards
suffered a complete collapse, the terri
BILE strain he had undergone during
the past twenty-four hours proving too
much for him.

Submerged
FLOOD THREATENS St. LOUIS
River Rising Rapidly at That
Point.-.Kansas Storm
Does Great Damage

ST. Louis, Mo, June 12.-The
Mississippi river which has been
practically stationary during the past
week, although at the flood stage, is
beginning to rise rapidly. The gauge
this morning marked 30.7 feet, rise
OF four-tenths of foot during the past
twenty-four hours. The danger line is
80 feet. The weather bureau predicts
stage Of 31.2 feet by tomorrow morn
ing and 80 feet by Sunday. Thousands
OF acres of fine farming lands and
miles of railroad track are submerged
already as a result of the present
high waters in this vicinity. However
the slow rise has given the people
time for preparation and the damage
will be less than in former years.
Terrific Storm Near Topeka.
Topeka, Kans., June ia terrific
rain, amounting to a cloudburst in
many portions OF the Kaw valley and
to severn inches in others, and which
was accoh }rled by the highest wind
and fiercest actrical storm in years,
swept over this section of Kansas be-
tween the hours of three and seven
O'Clock this morning. 1t is feared it
will check the fall Of the Kaw river.
At Topeka two inches of rain fell. A
small boy was drowned by the upset
ting Of boat. Fully three inches of
rain fell at Wamego, fifty miles west
Of here, where the wind almost reach
ed tornado, blowing down trees and
unroofing church. Many trees were
blown down and crops injured in 9TH
er sections Two inches of rain fell in
many sections including Junction City,
Abilene and Salina. Several places re-
port three inches of rain and at Valley
Falls nearly four inches fell.
Rivers Falling at Kansas City.
Kansas City. June 12.--Despite the
heavy rains last night and early to-
day in the Kaw and the
Missouri river valleys, reaching from
northeastern Kansas to Omaha, both
rivers in this vicinity continued to fall
today and the general food conditions
are better. In the last twenty-four
hours the Kaw has fallen two feet.
The Missouri is going down more
slowly, receiving half foot between
8 O'Clock last night and o'clock this
morning. A heavy downpour in Kan
sas City caused more local damage in
the west bottoms. The stock yards are
idle, the packing houses are unable
to kill, even il they had stock. The
railroads are in better shape, although
the schedules are still deranged.

SOLANO SCENE Of

Exciting Gun Fight
in Mora County
Town
WOULD.BE BAD MAN VICTIM
Attempts to Kill Saloon
Keeper Who Fires in
Self Defense.
Special to the New Mexican


Wagon Mound, n. NJ, June 12-
Shot through the stomach, Daniel
Archuleta is dying at Solano and J..
V. Melugin, proprietor of a saloon at
that place, is under arrest. Melugin Is
now on his way to Mora for safe k y.
ing. There was a fierce battle in /,
streets of Solano yesterday between
Archueta and Melugin before the
former was shot. Melugin did not open
fire until it became necessary in ord
er to protect his own life.
Trouble Had Been Brewing.
Melugin, who recently came to Sola-
no from Texas, had been having trouble
with Archuleta for some time and not
until three days ago did it reach a
dangerous stage. At that time, it is
said, the latter, who is but nineteen
years of age, attempted to force an
entrance into Melugin's home while
he was away. Yesterday Archuleta
appeared in front of the home of Me.
lugin and according to the best inform
alton, is said to have made indecent
motions and used abusive language to-
ward Archuleta. At that time Melugin
espostulated with Archuleta but final
ly seeing that it was of no avail, gave
up the task and went into his back
yard to finishing cutting some wood
Meluain Fired in seIf-Defense.
Mrs. Melugin kept watch on Archu-
let and warned her husband just as
the boy pulled a gun from his pocket
and opened fire. Archuleta took three
shots at the saloonkeeper before the
latter could gain the cover OF his home.
last as Melugin emerged, bring
inf with him a Winchester, Arch
uleta fired point blank at him. The
fellows aim was bad and all the shots
went wild. When MeMgin opened
fire with his Winchester his first shot
missed it's mark, but the second
shot sent bullet through the boys
abdomen and Archuleta fell, mortally
wounded. Melugin then sought a
deputy sheriff and gave himself up.
Archuleta is now under the care of
a physician, but last reports say that
his wound is of mortal nature and
that 1t Is only question Of a few
hours before death will end his suf-
ferings.

steadfast and the Yaquis withdrew

ers were issued to the Mexican troops
to take the field and resume hos

CONTRACT LET FOR
NEW BARRACKS
Pueblo Firm Land Big Job at New
Mexico lnstitute-To Begin
Work at Once.

Roswell, N. NJ, June 12-At a spe-
cial meeting of the Board of Regents,
held Wednesday afternoon, bids and
proposals were opened for the erec-
tion of the new barracks building. It
was found that Lyon and Axtele, of
Pueblo, Colorado, were the lowest bid
ders on the general construction.
Therefore, they were awarded the
contract for putting up the sixty-eight
room barracks. Their limit is two
hundred days and they begin work
Immediately. The building is to be
erected of buff pressed brick and
will lbe one of the handsomest school
buildings ever erected in the w st
The plans call for excellent lavofa
tories, water closets, baths, steam
heating, and all sanitary plumbing.
The contract for the plumbing and
heating was awarded J. G. St. John,
lof Colorado Springs, Colorado. As
the plumbing is all to be of the best,
this means considerable part of the
building.
Engineers are now on the ground
laying out the foundation and it is ex-
pected to have good part of the
building up before the opening of next
session.
The prospects for the coming ses-
sion are already beginning to look
bright. Many applications are being
received daily and it is likely that the
rooms will all be engaged some time
before the opening of the fall session
of the institute.

FLAMES FINALLY sUBDuED
Careless Employe Respon.
sible for Explosion Which
Started Blaze.

Kansas City, June 1.-Two labor
ers lost their lives, two others were
seriously injured and property loss es
timated at between a quarter of mil
lion and $350,000 was caused by two
explosions followed by fire in the
huge packing plant of Nelson, Morris
and company in Kansas City, Kansas
this morning. The first explosion was
from sewer gas and resulted from a
watchman lighting a match in the cold
storage department. This was follow.
ed by a terrific explosion of a quantity
of ammonia nearby and this started a
stubborn fire which took five hours to
get under control. For a time the
entire plant seemed doomed.
Dynamite Used to Stay Flames.
The fire that started before daylight
in the $2,5OO,O00 plant had by o'clock
progressed so far that it was feared
that the entire structure would be de.
stroyed. Dynamite was used in an ef-
fort to stop the flames. The plant
is in the flooded di.trict and is entire
ly surrounded by waters. Because of
the food the firemen We're unable to
get nearer than two blocks of the i'm
mense structure with the apparatus and
engines from the Missouri side were
called, but they could not get across
the flooded district.
The sausage department was the
first to go up in smoke. Telephone
communication with the scene was
impossible, the service being de-
stroyed by the flood and it was diff
cult to get accurate information. Great
crowds lined the bluffs watching the
progress Of the flames.
Valued at Over Two Millions.
When the buildings were completed
in 1905 they were valued at 1925, 900,
Of which the buildings represented ST.
245,O00; machinery, $44S,00O, and 9TH
er equipment, $4S2,00O.
The daily slaughtering capacity of
the plant is $500 head of cattle;
1000 sheep and 5000 hogs. On Janu-
ary 20, 1908, fire damaged the plant
to the extent of $75O,OOO. The loss of
meat in today's fire was enormou"
The coolers were packed to their ca
pacity, as the flood lnterfered with
railway traffic long before the water
shut down the big plant.
