PRISONER PLOTS
TO BREAK JAIL
REMOVAL TO ANOTHER CELL
REVEALS SAWED BARS
Alleged Burglar, Who Planned to
Knock JaiIer Senseless, Is Trans
ferred to Long Beach Officers,
for Whom Arrested

Harry Ford, who, according to the
police records, is a burglar, confidence
man and professional thief, was trans
ferred from the city jail last night to
the police station at Long Beach and
given into the custody of Chief of
Police Williams of that city. When the
transfer was accomplished the local
police breathed sigh of relief, for
Harry Ford is said to be one of the
most dangerous criminals who has ever
been confined in the local jail
When first arrested by Patrolman
Harrison on suspicion three days ago
Ford was found to be armed with two
revolVers, a bowie knife, and he had
also a quantity of stolen jewelry and
money.
Later he was searched by Detectives
Hosick and Zeigler and they found two
hack saws, with which criminals of his
class usually saw out of jails and
places of detention, bound around his
leg beneath garter.
After Ford had been, in police par
lance, combed from eyebrows to toes,
he was placed in cell No. of the small
tank. He was left in there for a night
and the next morning was taken to the
office of Captain of Detectives Flam-
mer and "sweated" for an hour in an
endeavor to secure some information
about the Long Beach burglaries with
which he is charged.
Gives No Information
Capt FIammer secured no informa-
tion and finally ordered the man re-
turned to the jail During Ford's abb
sence other prisoners had been brought
into the Jail and he was placed in an
other cell.
A short time later Jailer John Rock
off had occasion to go to No. 7, where
Ford had been confined, and one of the
new prisoners called his attention to
the fact there was a hard, firm ridge
in the lining of one of the canvas cots.
Investigation showed there were three
hack saws of the finest tooth and tenn
per concealed there, and further in
vestigation showed bars in the cell had
been sawed so all that was required
was a good strong pull to wrench them
free and permit a prisoner to walk
into the corridor.
From the corridor it is only a step
to the door through which the night
jailer passes every hour on his rounds
and knock on the head with a piece
of sawed iron bar would knock the
jailer senseless and give the prisoner
possession of the keys to the outside
world and liberty.
Ford's scheme of release was de-
tected, however, and his escape pre-
vented by close watch upon him. His
removal to another Jail yesterday was
extremely gratifying to Capt. Flam-
mer, in whose care he was as long as
he remained a prisoner in the city
jail

A GOOD SUGGESTION.
ian Messenger.

r I'LL 1o6 ho4
We believe that the people of the
Pecos Valley could make a great hit
in the advertising line this summer
by all going in together chartering a
special train and going to the Demo
cratic convention at Denver. We be-
heve that enough would go to insure
four or five cars. Each town could
then get up some kind of advertising
matter for their town and the valley
in general to distribute in Denver In
his way We could reach every part
of the United States and get il touch
with men of influence and money.
Then the valley would get a great deal
of advertising from newspapers all
over the country, for such an excur-
sion from New Mexico would surely
bring forth some comment from the
large newspapers. We would suggest
that the commercial clubs from the
different towns take this matter up
and see what can be don

DOES 1T PAY?

From Carlsbad Argus.
The Argus has often urged the fact
the money derived from licens-
ing saloons (the only possible excuse
for their existence) was not only
blood" money, out a poo investment
from a financial standpoint. This as
sertion has recently received support
from no less a source than that of
the Judge of the Fifth judicial dis
trict, who, in a lecture before the
Presbyterian Sunday school in Carls-
bad, two weeks ago., said:
"The fall term of court for 1907
cost s~4,567.1S, of which amount
5 ,013.1O was directly attributable to
the saloon and its kindred evils, the
gambling tables and the brothel. 1t
requires no mathematical genius to
show that it is a losing business to
take in $4,000 a year as saloon Ii
cense money and to spend over $4,000
at a semi-annual term of court in
meeting the evils which the saloon
propagates. The Punishment OF the
saloon means that half the money
used in prosecuting law breakers can
be used instead in paying school
teachers and building school houses"

STUMPING THE COUNTRY.

Albuquerque journal.
In times past it was considered
highly improper-almost ~unpadrona-
bly, so-for a candidate for the presi-
dency to do anything that would look
like ''electioneering' in his own be-
half; but there have been so many
lapses. OF late years. from the old
and very digniied standard of pro-
priety that it is no longer expected
of presidential candidates that they
will "hide out" and let the office do
all the seeking. Men are now hunting
the highest as well as the lowest of
flee. They make their wants known
in a variety of ways. Speaking tours
are supplemented by press bureaus.
A candidate, without loss of prestige,
may become an entertainer, and push
his political aspirations in that fash
ion. An appetite has been created.
The people want to see the men who
are soliciting their suffrage. And so
it Is not unlikely hat the coming
campaign may witness the presiden-
tial candidates of all parties on the
stump. drumming for votes in the
frankest and most strenuous style.

lions from people h think they
know of things which should be done
for the good of Roswell and the Pc
cos Valley in general, and 1, there
fore send you this suggestion.
1 know of nothing which would add
more to the comfort, pleasure, health
ald well being of many people in this
region than a good automobile road
from here to the pine forests about
seventy Oh eighty miles west of Ros-
we'll. From all accounts no finer and
more healthful summer places can
mountains. They are set apart now
as a government reservation for pub
lie use, and will be preserved intact
for all time. They are nearer to
this valley than to any other popu-
lous region and we should make full
use of them.
Their elevation is just right for
purposes of health or pleasure. Tne
pine forests are ideal, there is great
variety of scenery, good fishing, good
water and life giving air.
Many people who live here cannot
go away in the summer for long pc
riods, to the neglect of business, and
the cost is great. A trip to HI noun
tains by team over rough roads takes
much time, is attended with much
discomfort, and is too hard a trip for
many people. If we had a good auto
mobile road from here to the forests,
scores of people could enjoy them
where one does now Business men
a few days at a time when they can
not or do not go there now at all.
For people who are invalids or semi
invalids it would be a perfect god,
send.
In a short time people who know
how to do such things would build
summer hotels, cottages, camps and
tent cities there for the accommoda-
ton of people who die not want to
establish their own summer places.
many health seekers here who do not
come now at all. 1t would help to
make this region an all the year
around health resort Six or sever
hours ride in an automobile would
make a change of air and scene easy
and inexpensive, and be of vast bene,
fit to people of both delicate and OF
robust health
1 do not know just where such a
road should be located; but that is
easy to ascertain. The cost Of it
would be very little, compared with
the benefits. I do not see why it is
not a proper thing for the county to
undertake. If the county cannot do
it, then it ought to be done by rails
ing money by subscription.
