EIGHTY-FIVE GO DOWN
WITH SINKING SHIP

Corunna, Spain, Jun. 25.-Latest re
ports show S5 missing as the result
of the sinking of the steamship Lar
ache. The rescued number 65. The
captain sank with the ship. Most of
the passengers on the Larache were
students from the Argentine Repub-
lie. The vessel was little more than
an old tub and proved veritable
death trap.
When the Larache struck the rocks
near Muros, she sank in a few min
utes, leaving the passengers and the
crew struggling in the water. The
small boats of the Larache were eth
er smashed or capsized. A fleet of
fishing boats nearbye rushed to the
rescue but a heavy fog seriously in
terfered with the work. The fishermen
rescued 65 persons. In addition to
the captain, the ships doctor and
first officer were drowned. The disas-
ter occurred at five o'clock this morn
ing and most of those saved were
without clothing. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the total number of pass
engers and crew aboard was $50. Six
ty-five are known to be rescued. The
fate of the remaining IS is not known
but it is feared most of them were
drowned.

step necessary in getting the road.
Mr.. Kennedy does not ask for a
cent of the bonus until the road is
completed. This is the pleasing ald
attractive part of the proposition that

RAIN GREATER ELSEWHERE
THAN IN THIS VICINITY

While Roswell was thankfully re-
ceiving its sixteen hundredths of an
inch of rain Tuesday afternoon, other
nearby sections were getting a much
heavier downpour. The rain is said
to have been quite heavy in the Hon
do reservoir locality and in the terri
tory tributary, to the Hondo river,
also at Portales and Carlsbad. The
north of Carlsbad, and south to Pecos.
If you wish to know how hard it rain
ed at the lakes, ask w. T. Wells. He
was out in it all.

lit is a case of murder or foul play
He further stated that about five
miles this side of the spot where the
body was discovered it looked hike
two men had camped for the night
At this place there was found a pen
Gil, some wrapping paper and an emp
ty whiskey flask.
In the last day or two it is alleged
that two men were seen passing the
Garrett place, walking, and this is
about ~ miles Northwest Later two
men were seen walking, passing the
near Salt Creek.
AS the developments now stand it
seems probable that this is a case OF
murder and If the other party or par.
ties are still on the plains they may
be apprehended.
Clue as to Identity.
Theodore Kulay, aged AZ, and AL
bert, last name unknown, aged about
81, two Germans, left Roswell last
Sunday, being carried in a buggy to
the Klylg ranch northwest of Ros-
well, and expecting to walk from
that place to Albuquerque. They are
known to have left the Klyng ranch
at two o'clock Sunday afternoon with
canteens of water, and it is thought
probable that the body found is one
of these travellers.
Kulay lived in Roswell two months
and worked as shoemaker for Fred
Christensen. He had forty dollars on
his person. Albert came here two
months ago from st. Louis for mis-
health. He worked for his board at
the Klyng place and left here pennf-
less. The two were starting to San
Diego, Calf, but expected to walk
only to Albuquerque. 1t is thought
tnat Albert, the younger. is possibly
the man who was found dead
The officers are expected to arrive
late this afternoon with the body.

to invade that section, and he says
that he will leave with a corps of en-
gi1eers over the route of his propos-
ed road Saturday
What Mr.. Courchesne's proposition
may be, is not known. 1t is stated

Carlos Sandoval a Mexican en-
ployed by Fritz Brinck at his sheep
camp, came into Roswell late yester-
day afternoon and reported finding
the dead body of a white man in the
road, near the Macho, about 43 miles
Northwest of Roswell. The place
where the body was found is one mile

of the road. The face was turned to
one side with the left hand under the
forehead and the right hand at the
side. He approached within about ten
feet of the body and not knowing
whether the man was asleep, drunk
or dead, he yelled to find out. Not re-
ceiving any response he concluded
quickly that the man was dead and
jumped his animal and left the scene

further investigation, or approaching
the body nearer.
All this was day before yesterday

ployees and he was accompanied back
to the scene by Uncle Charley Paine,
