Cal, March 30--Record target practice
for the sixteen battleships Of the At.
lantic squadron is rapidly approaching
Ia conclusion and 1t is expected that
Wednesday will witness the final firing
on the ranges. The Virginia, the Kan.
san and the Vermont were on the fir
ing line today and they are the last
ships to complete their work. The
Vermont and Kansan are engaging in
target practice for the first time under
record conditions and have been grant.
ed quite a concession in the way of
preliminary practice. Tuesday and
Wednesday 1t Is believed the
Kansan and Vermont will have the
ranges all to themselves. The gun
crews on these ships have had much
opportunity to prepare for the work
at the targets and they should make a
splendid record. The ships sent to the
ranges first suffered somewhat OF a
handicap, as gun drilling at sea does
not give the same advantages as when
a ship is lying at anchor.

ARGUMENTS IN
INJUNCTION CASE
Hearing on Demurrers Interposed BY
Attorney General in Proceedings
Of Rio Mimbres Company

A hearing took place in chambers
today before Judge John r. McFie in
the injunction proceedings instituted
by the Rio Mimbres Irrigation
company seeking to restrain Ter.
ritoria Land Commissioner Robert
p. Ervien from cancelling con
tracts to certain tracts of land
embraced in an irrigation project
along the Rio Mimbres. When the
case was filed in the district court OF
Santa Fe county about month ago
a temporary injunction was granted
and Mr. Ervien was cited to show
cause why the Injunction should not
be made perpetual.
Attorney General James NJ. Her.
vey interposed demurrers on behalf OF
the territory and these demurrors
were argued today. Attorney General
Hervey represented the territory in the
arguments while Attorneys f. C. Alb.
bolt Of this city and Fl. p. Owen OF
Albuquerque appeared as counsel for
the plaintiff corporation.
The case involves a tract Of land
of about $4,000 acres susceptible to
irrigation and is known as the Spald
ing contract. The irrigation company
according to the stipulaiions was to
have expended a certain amount of
money in preliminary work, and the
territorial land commissioner refused
to validate the contracts until this
was done. The irrigation company in
its petition for an injunction admits
that it did not spend the amount OF
money specified for the preliminary
work but claims that it was not nee,
essary to expend the sum mentioned
as the preliminary surveys and other
advance work had been done at a
cheaper figure.
The attorney general in his demur-
rers contended that the contracts in
the first place were illegal and the
territorial land commissioner had not
the lawful right to deliver deeds for
the land. One Of the contracts he
maintained had not been approved by
the secretary of the interior as was
necessary. The demurrers covered
fifteen paragraphs.

History Of Crime.

The crime for which Chester Gil
lette was sentenced to forfeit his life
in the electric chair in Auburn prison
today, was the murder of his sweet
heart. Grace Brown, near Big Moose,
in the Adirondacks on July IL, 1906.
Gillette was convicted on circum'
stantial evidence after sensational
trial in which the pathetic love let
ters of Billy" Brown, as the girl was
familiarly known among her associ.
ates, to Gillette, played an important
part. The girl who perished in the
waters of Big Moose lake had trusted
Gillette to make amends for the
wrong he had done her by making her
his wife, and her letters which were
found in the young mans room after
his arrest at Eagle Bay, have been
considered by many as classic in their
simplicity and their tender pleading
for the right that was her due.
Her last letter to her lover, written
a few days before her fatal trip to
Big Moose, was particularly rathetic.
Il have been bidding goodbye to
some places today" she wrote.
There are so many hooks, dear, and
all of them so dear to me. have
lived here nearly all my life. First, !
said goodbye to the spring house
with it's great masses Of green moss;
then the apple tree where we had our
play house; then the Beehive, a
