MRS. MARY A. GlLBERSON DEAD
Passed Peacefully Away at Home
of Her Daughter Mrs. @. @.
Duncan Yesterday Morning.

Though the death of Mrs.
Mary A. GilberSon at the home
of her daughter Mrs. c. G.. Dun
can yesterday morning was not
unexpected. its announcement
was received with sorrow none
the less keen not only by the
members of the family in the
city but also by the large circle
of friends to whom the aged
lady had endeared herself to a
remarkable degree by her gentle
and amiable disposition. Death
came as seems appropriate in
such instances, as peacefully as
sleep comes to a tired child, and
after everything that the tender
est care could suggest had been
done to Sweeten the last waking
hours.
Mrs. GilberSon was born at
WestcheSter, Pa, September Is.
1880. Her maiden name was
Mary A. Lord She was married
July 20, 1854, at Avondale, Pa,
to Chas. Nj. GilberSon, and three
children we're born of the union,
who are Mrs. Mary Hunter Dun
can and Mrs. Jas. +. Berry, Sr.,
of this city and Rev. s. Lord
Gilberson, pastor of St. James
Episcopal church of Philadel-
phia. Mrs. Gilberson is surviv-
ed also by eight grandchildren
and seven great grandchildren.
She came to Socorro eighteen
years ago and during that time
has been the object of tender
care in the home of the daugh-
ter in whose home she died.
Funeral services were conducted
at three o'clock this afternoon
from the family residence on
California street and Epiphany
church 10y Reverend Doctor Cook
OF albuquerque. The remains
were laid to rest in Socorro Gem
etery in the presence of a large
a>semblage of relatives and
friends.

A SOCORRO COUNTY CONVICT
Gives the Guards at the Peniten-
tiary the Slip, but L. Promp-
tly Recaptured.

Alberto Pine, short-term
convict sent to the penitentiary
from Socorro county for toting a
gun, caused some excitement
at the penitentiary Wednesday
afternoon. The Santa Fe New
Mexican tells the story as fol.
lows:
Citizens of Santa Fe were
not aware that an exciting man
hunt was on in this vicinity yes
terday afternoon in which the
penitentiary bloodhounds PLAYED
an important part.
Two short-term convicts, An
dreS Magias and Alberto Pine,
while working at the clay banks
northeast of the city, managed
to elude Guards r. V. Garcia and
Jesus Padilla, who were in charge
of the detachment. The men
got completely out of sight be-
fore the guards discovered they
were missing. They promptly
notified Captain John w. Green,
superintendent of the peniten-
tiary, of the escape. This was
at ? o'clock in the afternoon.
Steps were Immediately taken
to recapture the escaped prison
oners. Assistant Superiutende mt
h. c. Garrett with a posse of
six heavily armed men and the
penitentiary bloodhounds started
out on horseback. Mr.. Garret,
although alone, followed the
bloodhounds who brought the
two convicts to bay a short dis
tance this side of Tesuque, where
they were captured single handed
by Mr.. Garrett. He returned
them to the penitentiary at IL
o'clock tonight.
The promptness with which
the convicts were captured re-
fleets much credit upon the peni-
tentiary officials, as it serves to
show that it is very difficult fol
prisoners to escape.
"Magias was sent to the peni'
tentiary from Grant county or
September "a, 1907, to serve {
term of three years, having been
convicted of an assault with in
tent to commit rape.
"Pino entered the prison or
December 5th last, to serve q
term of one year for unlawfully
carrying a deadly weapon. HI
is from Socorro county.

WAR ON WOLVES AND COYOTES
The Oregon Stockholders Plan a
Campaign That Promises Sub
stantial Results.

The offering of bounties for
the scalps of predatory animals
has so often failed to accomplish
the good hoped tor that the
bounty plan has lost ;avor in
many localities. The Wool
Growers Association of Oregon
has just gone on record at its re-
cent meeting at The Dalles as
favoring the abandonment of the
bounty system and substituting
the system of killing the animals
by private effort and employment
of professional hunters. The
Association will take up the
work, and ask assistance from
the National Association.
J. n. Burgess, President of
the Association estimates that
Oregon sheep JwnerS lost the
past year $25O,OO0 by predatory
animals, and that the loss of
other farm stock, including poul-
try, would increase the loss to
half a million dollars.
The United States forest Serv-
ice has demonstrated that effic-
lent work can be done by trained
hunters who are sent to the
ranges to make a special busi-
ness of killing wolves, and such
other denizens of the forests as
prev on flocks of sheep. A num-
ber of such hunters are now at
work, and they are ridding some
of the ranges very rapidly of the
animals which do so much dam
age each year. Wolves are
tracked to their dens, the pick
and shovel as we'll as the rifle
are brought into play, and the
young are found and destroyed.
A campaign of that kind strikes
az the root of the evil.
So vast. however, is the west
ern country that the work of d
few hunters can give only locaI
relief; bat if State Stock Grow
ers' Associations go at it in earn
est, as Oregon organizations
propose, the war will soor
grow decidedly interesting fol
