s.e, Dead wsn. stealing Coal.

Abraham Velazquez, Mexican
about forty years Of age. was shot
and instantly killed yesterday morn
ing about 6:l5 o'clock by I. w.
Kennedy. a man without hands.
who is employed by the Santa Fe TO
guard the big pile Of storage coal
located short distance east OF
town. Velazquez commenced iili-
ing basket with coal from Santa
Fe car. and when warned TO desIst
by Kennedy. responded with yolley
of choice Mexican oaths. and made
a move for his hip pocket.
Before he succeeded in getting
his gun out, Kennedy got his double
action revolver into play by placing
the butt of the gun against his
stomach and pressing the trigger
with the stumps of mis- forearms.
Kennedy says it was his intention TO
aim low. and cripple the man if pos
sible. The Mexican was fully 100
yards from Kennedy. and at the
first shot fell mortally wounded. The
bullet penetrated the abdomen, de-
fiecting downwards and severing
the right common lilac artery, caus-
ing the man to bleed to death in
side Of two minutes.
Velazquez is an unmarried man
and came to La Junta from Ration
about three years ago. He has been
working around the ice house and
doing odd jobs. but has been located
at Lamar of late, returning TO La
Junta the first of the week. The
local Mexican colony do not appear
to know much about the dead nan.
T. w. Kennedy has lived in La
Junta on several different occasions
and is a brother of d. A. Kennedy.
who works on the rip track, and
Albert Kennedy, watchman at the
Santa f'e crossing east of town.
Kennedy, who is a single man about
forty years OF age. has lived IN La
Junta continuously during the past
thirteen months. He lost both
hands in sorghum mill when nine
years of age. For several months
past ne has been employed by the
Santa Fe To watch the big pile of
storage coal east of town.
Coroner Burr held an inquest yes
terday afternoon. and the jury re-
turned a verdict to the effect that
Velazquez's death resulted from
gunshot wound fired by I. w.
Kennedy in self-defense, a gun with
every chamber loaded having been
found on the dead body of the Mex
lean. Kennedy is still in the custo-
dy of Sheriff Potter, as District
Attorney McDapel has not as yet
decided whethef'he will file an in
formation against him. In case he
does Kennedy will be released on
bond.

HOME RECIPE
REPRINTED
Many Thin Women Now Pretty and
Attractive.
TALLY CHARMING, to-
A Well-Developed Figure, Exquisite
Bust Proportion, Well-Rounded
Arms and Neck, Make Homely
Women Attractive.

Much interest is manifested by the
fair sex in anything that tends to add
charm and attractiveness to the hu-
man form divine. There was recently
published the formula of a famous
beauty doctor who became wealthy in
the profession of figure culture. Many
of our famous actresses and society
ladies, 1t is claimed, owe to her sci
ence the charming and exquisite pro-
portion of figure which they enjoy.
Many so-called patent developers have
proven worthless, but if we are to
judge from results obtained by several
in this city, the following prescription
really deserves the title Friend to the
unattractiVe and undeveloped.
So rapid and thorough is the treat
ment that one can almost ''see the
flesh grow One young matron had
to prove her identity to her husband,
after a months absence. during which
time she had used the home treat
ment. An increase of six inches is not
unusual after a months treatment.
The treatment differs from all others
and can readily be prepared at home.
Go to any druggist and get Sepa-
rately, two ounces of glycerine, three
ounces of roSewater, one ounce tine
ture cadomene compound. and five
cents worth of borax. Mix the glycer-
inc and tincture cadomene, shake and
let stand two hours. Then add rose
water and a teaspoonful of borax.
Apply morning and night, rubbing
until absorbed; then wash with hot
water and soap; dry thoroughly. Con-
tinue a few weeks and beautiful de-
velOpment rewards the effort

Firm Flesh Versus Fat.

Fat women who are contemplating a
new gown in the mode will have To
contemplate a reduction of their flesh
before they visit the dressmaker.
Fortunately this is nothing like the
hard labor it was when one had moth
ing but exercising or dieting to get re-
suits with. Nowadays a short course of
the Marmola Prescription Tablets
should bring any woman, however fat,
to the proportions necessary for her TO
wear a Directoire gown.
Let her take a Marmola Tablet (made
in accordance with the famous pre-
scription and, therefore, harmless) aft
er each meal and at bedtime and she
should very soon be losing a pound a
day. This result. accomplished with
out disturbing ones table customs,
forming wrinkles or distressing the
stomach, astOnishes everybody.
Even one large case. costing only IS
cents at any druggists, or the same
amount direct by mail from the Mar
mola company, Detroit, Mich, gives
positive results. This constitutes the
acme of economy.
