A message was sent here yesterday
from reliable parties to w. w. Gate
wood, stating that John Williams shot
and killed John Armstrong at Bovina
at seven o'clock Tuesday evening.
The message was a summons to Mr..
Gatewood, but as the latter was at
Clovis, the message had to be for
warded to him at that place.
The dead man was range manager
in this southern district for the great
KIT outfit and had been connected
with that company about twenty years.
By those who knew him he is de-
scribed as one of the noble spirited
men who were one day the character
istic citizens of the Southwest. He
was man in the fullest sense of the
word, and the cowmen of this section
are incensed at his death. On the otn-
his slayer to be an associate of the
meaner element and make even stron-
ger statements as to his character. A
small rancher himself, he has been
accused of completely in cattle rust
ling cases and local cattle men say
he is now under Indictment.
A man who was in Bovina at the
time of the shooting reports that
Armstrong and a friend of Williams
were fighting with their ropes, horse
back, when Williams came up behind
Armstrong and shot him in the back.
He states further that Williams
friends became afraid he would be
1ynched and put him in an auto and
took him to Hereford for safe keep
ing.
Mr.. Armstrong leaves a wife and
one child. By hard work, economy and
good business judgment he had ac-
cumulated a good estate. He was a
man of careful living and true life,
and his death will be generally de-
plored. especially the manner in which
it came about.

Washington, Nov 19.-Prominent
New York Republicans who have been
in Washington lately are authority for
the story that there is a tacit agree
ment between President Roosevelt
and President-elect Taft that Joseph
H. Choate, former Ambassador to
Great Britain, shall have the next va
cancy on the United States Supreme
Bench, provided it is an Associate
Justice and not the Chief Justice who
retires next. The Chief Justiceship is
said to be reserved for another, but
no inkling is TO be had as to the iden-
.ity of the man slated to succeed
Chief Justice Fuller.
If one of the Associate Justices re-
tires before March 4 next, the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Choate will be sent to the
Senate by President Roosevelt. If no
vacancy occurs until after Mr.. Taft
is inaugurated President, he is equal
ly convinced that Mr.. Cnoate is the
proper man to appoint. Such, at least,
is the story vouched for by the New
Workers..
Mr.. Choate is generally recognized
by lawyers as standing at the head of
the American bar and is conceded to
be one of the greatest living authori
ties on constitutional law. 1t is true
he is a corporation lawyer in the most
extreme sense, his practice, being con-
fined almost entirely to the interests
of the huge corporations; but in the
view of the President and the Presi-
dent-elect this does not necessarily
unfit him for office under the govern
ment. Their reasoning is that success
full practice for corporations is evil
dence of mans great legal ability
and that, his other qualifications be-
ing up to the standard, it is desirable
that the government retain his ser
vices. In this day and age, they be-
lieve, it is poor sort of lawyer who
doesn't have corporation practice.
The possibility that Mr.. Choate will
go to the Supreme Court recalls tae
fact that he is the only lawyer who ev-
er was known to "call down" the Chief
Justice of the United States. Mr..
Choate was arguing a case one day
and was being subjected to a rather
| unmerciful quizzing by the court. The
venerable judges, protected by that
dignity which hedges in the world s
| most august tribunal, have a way of
taking young lawyers over the lot
| sands of legal lore, to the evident en-
! joyment of the court and the amuse-
ment of spectators. Mr.. Choate evi-
IDENTIFY thought he was entitled to be
| treated as a graduate from the cadet
class and there was a note of impa-
| tience in some of the answers he gave
Finally, Chief Justice Fuller asked a
question that was particularly search
ing and not especially fattering to the
| advocate.
| Mr.. Choate stopped his argument

D. ON
THE STAND

New York, Nov. 19.-John D. Rock
efeller's own story of the upbuilding
of the great Standard Oil Company,
and his immense personal fortune has
given a tremendous interest to the
long drawn out and often tedious
hearing in the governments suit to
dissolve the so-called oil trust. In two
hours on the stand yesterday, Rookie
feller told only of the early days, when
as a pioneer in refining petroleum, he
started on almost nothing and soon
outstripped all rivals. He declared it
omies and iby taking advantage of ev-
cry favorable legitimate opportunity
that borrowing and intelligent invest
ment of large sums and by the con-
stant application to the oil business
alone that the great corporation was
built up.
Rockefeller was smiling as he took
the witness stand today and resumed
his testimony. At the outset today his
counsel brought out from the witness
the statement: 1--WE never know when
the supply may give out rendering
properties for the refining of oil
comparatively valueless."
ArchboId Will Also Testify in the Suit
1t was announced today that after
Rockefeller's cross examination by
the counsel for the Government, fol
lowing his direct testimony which may
take several days, John d. Archbold,
vice-president of the Standard Oil
Company will take the witness stand.

until the subject Litigation Harrass
ing Labor" was reached. On this sub
ject the committee declared that when
the courts issued an injunction in Ia
Dor disputes, it is the duty of the or
ganized labor to disobey and to go to
Jail, and advised that the funds of the
organization not be used to defend
the suit as it would be a useless ex-
penditure. James Duncan, of the Gran
lite Cutters and First vice-president of
the Federation, opposed this recon-
mendation, saying union men should
proceed like law abiding citizens and
defend themselves at all hazards. He
moved to strike out the words advis-
ing labor unions to disobey injunct-
ions.
After debate continuing all the
forenoon, President Gompers moved
to refer back to the committee that
portion of it's report on Litigation
Labor" The committee
had recommended a more critical
stand than Gompers approved. His
motion was deferred and the vote had
not been taken on the main question
at the noon recess.
