LAND CASES IN NEW
MEXICO DISMISSED

Santa Ee, N. NJ. July Unit
ed States district attorney ID. j.
Leahy appeared before Judge
John II. McFie in the first judi
cial district court of this terri
tory, on the United States side
this forenoon and moved to dis
miss the blanket indictment for
conspiracy against the Phelps,
Dodge d Co., Louis D. ricketts,,
Chas. A. Spiess and others.
The connection of @. A. Spiess
as charged in the Indictment al
legged that he had prepared the
entry papers for certain entry
men who had made entries of
coal lands in the county of San
Juanand and was the attorney
for Phelps, Dodge u Go.
A Herald reporter called on
Mr.. Leahy and asked him what
he had to say about the case, to
which Captain Leahy replied
that he had nothing to say, "ex-
cept the United States, after a
careful investigation of the mat
ter, decided that the govern
ment was not justified in fur
ther prosecuting the case and
therefore exercised its right to
dismiss the same, as it has done
in other cases"
A large number of cases in
velving the same state of facts
and which set up transactions
exactly identical to the transac-
tion alleged in the Phelps,
Dodge conspiracy Indictment,
were quashed by federal district
judge Lewis, of the federal dis
trict court in the district of Col
orado last winter, Judge Lewis
holding that the transactions
were not offences against the
laws of the United States and
not violations of the coal land
laws. Ell Paso Herald.
Relative to the above state
ment, Mr.. Roe, the lumber COM
pany's manager in this city says,
Il do not believe that has any
reference to the lumber lands
but rather to the coal lands,
which are largely in Colorado. ;"
Owing to Mr.. Roe's position and
his intimate relation with the
company and their interests it is
but natural to believe that were
the lumber lands included in
this he would have received
some notice of it.

FOREST GUARD MAKES
GOOD SHOWING

The Sacramento forest reserve
was particularly fortunate in
having the best trapper'in the
southwest at their service last
fall when they put on the forest
guard. J.W. Wallace and wife,
of Pihon, are the old couple who
go from place to place Kidding
the range of the wild animals.
They came to town last Friday
with the pelts of 20 lobo wolves,
so coyotes and 81 bob cats.
Down on the Quava they caught
one old settler, whom the cattle
men claimed had killed over
$1,000 worth of cattle each year
for three years and they didn't
know how much before that. At
Jack Swopes they caught a beau
tiful pure white lobo wolf, which
had been working there for sew
eral years and whose damages
were inestimable. The old gen
tleman took particular pride in
showing the pelt Of one big wolf
which he had tried to catch
without success until one day as
he worked away trying to fix his
traps without any trace left he
saw the wolf looking around a
big tree watching every move
ment, the old ranger pointed
with pride to the bullet hole
just below the eye. He got him
first shot. The mountain men
will be glad when the time
comes that Mr.. Wallace will be
at their service continuously.

10 the Working People This Food Is



Every one pictures the Italian as
eating macaroni. What if I tell
you that the Italians, taking them as a
people. Go not eat maca"oni, aud yet
this is virtually true. A1acaroni i'll Italy
costs / to cents 1 pound, and it is
too costly for common use. 1t is about
as accurate to say that the Italians
i've on macaroni as that the Amerl-
cans live on turkey. Macaronl to the
working Italian is luxury. You often
see young fellows on holiday IN
dulging in a dish in G restaurant OF
before a street cook stand about as
Americans would eat ice cream. Y
customary workman's dinner is I hunk
of bread broken apart and "buttered
with q few traces of tomato sauce. AS
for meat, it is the greatest rarity. ana
the only drink they can afford is wa
ter. which has the advantage Of being
cheap and filing. The Italians at
home are not only temperate, but ao-
stenious. Vino and beer and even
tea, coffee and chocolate are forbidden
to them on account of the expense. IN
all Italy we saw no one under the in
duence Of liquor. So also there IS
practically no smoking. The govern
ment has a monopoly Of the tobacco
business. buys its supplies in quantl-
ties direct in America and elsewhere
and charges three prices for every
thing. The few tobacco shops keep a
piece Of smoldering tow tied at the
Goorpost, 50 that patrons and passers
may light their cigars by it.-Los An

Officers Transfer.

Removing the Difficulties In an Army
Officers Transfer.
\ Young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request in person to one OF
the lights Of the Russian general statf.
That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter Very difficult
to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
Of the lieutenant To the amaZement
of his visitor. the senior officer said
that the lieutenant'S shoes We're not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buv new shoes Of 4 shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then, telling his vls-
itor TO return in eight days. he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so he hur-
ried to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him rhe shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes in FIVE days for the sum Of s2oO.
Much astonished, the officer went to
comrade for advice. He was told to
paw half Of this sum at once and the
rest when lis shoes were finished.
This the officer did. and, wearing MS
new boots, he duly kept his appoint
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his JOY that all the grave
difficulties" in the way Of his transfer
had been successfully removed.

DIDN'T NEED IT.
Why a Scotch Farmer Refused Por-
ton Of Dessert.


Cou:i the funny sayings and incl
dents at the tenants dinners in Scot
land ~e collected they would make an
unriv2led book Of humor. Mistakes OF
amusing and sometimes embarrassing
nature occur frequently at such func-
tons. One story is told OF guest at
q Scottish tenants dinner who tasted
ice cream for the first time on that oc-
CASTOR. He pushed large spoonful OF
the frozen mixture into his mouth and
jump. I from his chair with agony eN-
prassel on his face He let out yell
and cried out, COW, ow, ma rotten
tooth" and could not be induced to
eat any more.
At another Scottish affair Of the kind
a good old farmer was seated next to
the hostess. She served him bit Of
savorv omelet, which seemed to cause
the old man deep disappointment His
idea Of an omelet had always been
dessert with sugar or fruit or jams,
and after tasting the sample before
him be turned to the hostess and said,
Wee, ma lady. Gamma compliment
you on your puddin's.'
The late Duke Of Buccleuch told a
story Of a tenant at one Of the farmers

from India brought with him q goodly
stock of souvenirs. Among them was
pair Of laughing jackasses, which he
intrus:ed to one Of the sailors, Tom

and in spite Of all Toms care they
pined and finally died.
When he discovered the catastrophe,
Tom was in despair.

Break it to him gently. You'll find
it'll be all right"

FINDINGS NOT KEEPINGs.
Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.

Lost Articles Are Always Crying Out
For Their Owners.
When one is on the public thorough
fare or in the street car or train or
boat and picks up an object that is
valuable, is it his?
True, he may find something which
is too small and trihing to warrant
searching to find the owner. such as
handkerchief. pair of gloves, etc.
But when be finds something Of value
It is not his until he has done every
thing in his power to find the owner.
The street railways and trains are
so systematized today that if. when
one finds an object Of value. he re-
turns it to the company's representa-
tive il is almost sure to catch up with
its owner. Every person Of intelli-
gence knows that the first place to
inquire for it is at the lost and found
department.
Whea, however, one is on the street
and finds something which, if he lost
it himself. he would very much like to
have returned. there are the columns
Of a newspaper in which to advertise.
If lie fails to find the owner after
this, then be can rightfully cali it his
own and have clear conscience. but
If he avoids looking over the. lost and
found columns and fails to do his part
toward finding the owner be is almost
as dishonest as If he took the goods
