KILLS WOMAN AND. HIMSELF
Jealousy Supposed Cause Of Double
Tragedy at St. Paul.

Tragedy at St. Paul.
William Dudley Trainer aged tlir-
ty years, a vaudeville actor, shot
and instantly killed Mrs William
Pryor, aged twenty-six, his travelling
partner, at the Clarendon hotel in St.
Paul. He then turned the weapon
upon himself, inflicting a wound in Iii,
head which, proved fatal at the city
hospital several hours later.
Blighted love and jealousy are
thought to have caused the dual
tragedy.
William J. Pryor, the murdered wo-
mans husband. is an actor, whose
home is in Providence, R. l. Trainer
was not married, so far as can be
learned.
Mrs. Pryor was lying in bed when
murdered. The bullet passed through
both of her temples. In her hand was
an endearing letter written to her
some time ago by Trainer, bright
with promise. It is thought that the
woman, disgusted at his failure to OBJ
tain engagements on the stage, threat
ened to desert him and return to her
husband.

ROY TO HAVE A BRASS BAND.

An effort is being made by the
young men of this c.ty who are music
ally inclined.to get up a SMALL band.
There is nothing like music TO in
spire the jaded spirit, and there is no
music that can stir US to patriotism
or make US truly glad we are alive as
band music.
When we hear the thrilling blare OF
the trumpet or here the band coming
down the street playing stars ana
Stripes Forever" there isin'tone of us
who doesn't drop everything right
away and then 60 hipity-hop to the
window or to the door orto the street.
There isin't one of us but what needs
music, and there is many of us that
crave it as we do an orange when we
are sick.
The long winter days are coming.
We have no theatres, no parks, no
places of amusement worth mention
ing; but we can have band. and if
every young man and every young old
man will help us we are going to have
good one.
We extend a most cordial and
friendly invitation to everyone who
plays any kind of instrument or who
wants to learn to play or help US out
in any way to meet with us at the
Spanish-American Office Thursday
evening August 2OSh. We already
have ten musicians with Instruments,
but we need more, so if you are inter

MANY GO ON OUTINGS.

Scarcely has there a week passed
but what some crowd of pleasure seek
ers have gone out for a picnic, some
to spend day while others have gone
to stay for month or more.
The people of New Mexico do not
know how fortunate they are to be liv-
ing in country with such delight
full climate while others who live
farther north and east are being over
come with heat by the hundreds. The
mountains of New Mexico have the
most beautiful scenery of any other
range and those who fail to pay them
a visit this summer are missing a rare
treat.
A Kentuckian who went to Switzer-
land to study nature and the scenery
was asked upon his arrival for dis
cription of the Mammoth Cave, and
greatly to his embarrassment had to
admit that he had never paid visit
to the greatest natural cave in the
world although he had spent his life
less than fifty mile from it.
People from the east travel across
the continent for a few weeks outing
in Colorado, while we who live in less
than one hundred leagues are passing
up the opportunity to see the most
beautiful country of the west and
streams which abound with fish and
ducks.

The following is the resolution a.

"We, the republicans of Mora coun-

bled, heartily reaffirm our allegiance
and adherence to the republican par
ty and it's doctrines which have for
so long been the basis of prosperity
and happiness in this county, terri
tory and nation; and more especially
do we commend the expression of
those doctrines in the platform of the
last national republican convention in
the city of Chicago.
"We r,cognizein Judge William H.
Taft, the nominee OF that convention
for the presidency Of the United
States, a man whose character, train

in various public positions make him
the most promising candidate for the
presidency that has appeared during
the last four or five decades. We re-
gret deeply that our territorial condi-
uon precludes us from voting for him.
and we look forward with great eXcep-
alton to the time, which we are sure
is now near at hand, when New Mexico
will take her place in the ranks OF
statehood, when her citizens will no
longer be in the position or political
subserviency which they now occupy,
when they will have the right to cast
their votes as the inhabitants OF states

they believe to be right and Tor the

new MEXICO TO
HAVE SUGAR PLANT
Syndicate Pays $6OO,OOo For
l55, 900 Acres In San Miguel County.
The following is the report sent
out from Denver;

Acting for the American Sugar
Manufacturing and Refining company
o. B. Crpm of this city has just com
pleted the purchase of 155, 600 acres of
land in San Miguel county, New Mex
leo, at cost of considerably more
than S5O0,OO0. 1t is the intention of
the company to expend another $500.
900 in irrigating their new possession
by means of an immense system OF
reservoirs, dams and bitches after
which three or four sugar beet factor
les will be erected and the country
made one of the largest centers of the
trade in the entire country.
A Big Land Deal.
Not since the sale of the famous
Maxwell grant several years ago, has
so large a real estate transaction been
completed in New Mexico and through
the plans of the new owners thousands
of settlers will be colonized in the ter
ritory, vast tracts of what are now
waste lands will be irrigated and de-
veloped and the whole territory will
benefit enormously through the deal.
The land purchased by Mr.. Crum
for his clients donsists of the old An
tonic Ortiz grant, an area of land that
was included in the old Spanish grants
and title to which was latter ratified
by Congress in 1869.
The ground is situated twenty miles
southeast of Las Vegas, in San Mi
guel county, and one mile from the
Santa Fe railroad. 1t is crossed from
northeast to southeast by the Rio Gal
lianas river and it is through reser-
voirs connected with this stream thai
the company expects TO irrigate from.
lhe river will be tapped at various
points and thence canals and series
of bitches will carry the water the
length and breadth OF the grant.
The first purpose of the sugar com
pany will be to open the the land for
colonization. About 50. 600 acres will
be disposed at first in this way with
irrigation guaranteed and later, when
crops are produced; a market for the
entire output. AS labor in New Mex
leo is figured at only 81 per day,
where $2 would have to be paid in
most other states, the owners do not
expect to pay any more than half as
much for the completiono of their pro-
jects as they would under other con-
ditions.
The purchasing company is a Kan
sas corporation, with headquarters at
Topeka. All OF the stockholders are
capitalists of great wealth, and they
expect to commence upon the plans
projected at once and carry them
through without interruption.
