A Correction

Editor NEWS: 1 was sorry to see the item, Tried on Perjury Charge" of transformation in last week s NEWS, and offer this correction:
 It is said Mir. Mathews was the original guardian of the Sanford estate. This is a misstatement. Mir. Mathews never was guardian of the Sanford estate. Mir. Mur- dock never objected to legal settle ment, but to legal evasion. which was offered instead. Mir. Mathews desire to have things done legally reached the limit in having to be legally ejected from power of at torney. which he claimed over Judge Sanford, and which he had recorded, notice of which appeared in your paper. MT. Sanford claimed he had never given such power of attorney, and if his name was to such paper it was forged.
 There Is lot of difference be- tween a power of attorney. respon- sible for nothing, and guardian ship, responsible to a court of the land, under a heavy bond for the performance of his duty.
 Mir. Murdock was acting strictly under his orders from the court and challenges any statement to the contrary. F. M.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT
Two Propositions Now Before the
City and IL Remains to
Make Choice.

On Mr.. Bursum's return home
the first of the week he said in
regard to the proposed electric
light plant for Socorro that Mr..
Buddecke of Las Vegas with
whom he had been negotiating
for the installation of such
plant in the city had just written
him that he was ready to go
ahead with the project. The
matter had been delayed some
time, as far as Mr.. Buddecke was
concerned, by a death in his fam
lily making it necessary for him
to go east for stay of several
weeks. The situation in regard
to an electric plant for the city
now is, then, that two PROPOSE
tions are submitted, and it re-
mains for the citizens of Socorro,
or their representatives, to de-
termine which they consider best
for them. Whichever PROPOSE
tion may be accepted, the proba-
bility remains exceedingly strong
that an up to date electric light
and power plant will be installed
in the city in the very near
future.

THIS NOT A FISH STORY
But One of the Most Remarkable
Deer stories That Anybody Ever
Heard.

Mogollon, N. NJ, Feb. 10.
Editor Chieftain:
Such a remarkable thing hap
pened here this afternoon that
we feel bound to tell about it.
This is no fish story, but a dear,
truthful deer story. About four
o'clock, two dogs belonging to a
Mexican citizen came into town
leading and driving a four prong
buck. One dog led the deer by
the ear and the other drove be-
hind by biting the deer on the
legs and hams. The dogs got
the deer we'll into town, and
were evidently going to take
him to their masters house, but
some men took the deer and de-
livered him at the right house,
the dogs following along ready
To recapture their prisoner should
he attempt to escape. The dogs
had brought the deer two or
three miles. They evidently un-
derstand how to work together.
This camp is quiet but always
good.
Very truly,
G.. II. K.

A BREAK FOR LIBERTY
Made by Two Prisoners in the
County Jail Caused Excite
ment in Socorro Sunday.
OVERPOWER THE JAIL GUARD
Aud Make Their Escape but Ars
Quickly Recaptured and r.
turned for Safe Keeping.

There was thrilling half
hour in the Socorro county Jail
and vicinity Sunday afternoon
beginning at about five o'clock.
When the Jail guard, Lorenzo
M. Vigil, accompanied by young
Patricio Otero, entered the Jail
to give the prisoners their even
ing meal, they were suddenly set
upon by two prisoners, Ben Rob
erts and Procorro Elias. The
guard was overpowered and his
pistol taken from him by Rob
erts, who then compelled him to
open the Jail door. In a scuffle
between Young Otero and the
other prisoner the former was
pretty severely SlaShed on the
face and one shoulder with a
knife in the hands of his assail-
ant.
The prisoners Immediately
left the Jail and started south.
The guard and his companion at
once raised an alarm. Young
Juan Jose Baca happening to be
near set out in pursuit of the
fugitives and overlook them at
the arroyo. He put a murder
Gus looking knife very close to
soft part of the anatomy of one
of the prisoners and told him
that any hostile demonstration
on his part would result in a ser
ious stomach disorder, or words
to that effect. While this brief
monologue was in progress, the
other prisoner, Roberts, stood by
with the guards pistol pointed
at Baca and trying to work the
combination but luckily not
knowing how. Miguel Torres
now appeared upon the scene
and he and Baca took the pris-
oner Elias in charge. Roberts
took to his heels. Seeing the
house of Attorney John f. Grif-
fifth, and possibly thinking that
he was in urgent need of the
services of an attorney, he burst
into the house without the usual
formality of ringing the door
bell and crawled under couch
in the dining room. He was
quickly followed by Ex-Sheriff
Misais Baca, who was in the act
of abstracting prisoner and gun
from under the couch when Mr..
Griffith reused himself from his
Sunday afternoon nap and APP
peared before his unlimited
guests with an expression of
wonder if he had been sleeping
on his rights to the extent of al
lowing others to acquire posses
session of his domicile. Matters
were soon explained, however,
and the prisoners were marched
off to Jail considerably sadder
and wiser for their half hours
diversion.
The charge against Roberts is
that of stealing horses. Elias
was mixed up in a stabbiug af-
fray down at Carthage some
time ago, the results being dis
astrous to his two antagonists.
There is very little doubt now
that the pair will be brought
before the court to make answer
to the charges preferred against
them.

The deal has been closed be- tween the city council and J. C., Ste phenson for an electric light ing plant for Nashville, the mat ter being finally settled at a meeting held Monday afternoon.
 The city agrees to take street lights to the amount of $50 per month, the lights to be cluster lights, instead of arch lights. which will enable the streets to be better illuminated than if the arch lights were used
 Atrate of fifty cents will be us- ed.
 A rate of fifty cents will be made for drop lights in business houses and residences, with a rate Of twenty-five cents for porch lights, and all lights used in church buildings.
