mountain lion AT LARGE
in CITY CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Have you seen it? Seen what?
Why Buffalo" Jones mountain lion.
No, what's the matter with the lion,
anyway? By gracious man. don't you
know the lion has escaped, that the
dangerous man-eater is at large in the
city?
Such conversation, as the above was
not uncommon in Las Vegas yester-
day, for late Saturday night the big
mountain lion. which Col c. j. (Buf-
falo) Jones has had on exhibition in
the city. gnawed its way out of its
improvised prison. a large frame box
and dragging six foot chain. took
French leave. ass
So far as known the lion. which
since it was brought to the city last
Friday for exhibition at the picture
show at the Duncan opera house, has
been kept in the rear room of the
Opera bar, made its escape between 10
and 1O:S0 O'Clock Saturday night
Fortunately It chose the rear door in
making its departure from the build
ing, else a better story might have
been the result, for had the animal
sought the front exit, panic would
no doubt have resulted in the saloon
ON Douglas avenue and someone
might have been killed.

COUNSEL FILES MOTION
STARTLING ALLEGATIONS MADE
AGAINST U. s. ATTORNEY
AND GRAND JURORS
HE CHARGES INTIMIDATION
SAYS THREATS WERE REsoRTEp
TO IN ORDER TO GET TRUE
BILLS

Muskogee, Okla, Aug 16.--Attor-
neys for Governor Charles N. Haskell.
of Oklahoma, today filed motions in
the United States court here to quash
the indictments in connection with al
legged land lot frauds, now pending
against Haskell
Aside from charges against five
grand jurors and allegations of i'm
proper conduct on the part of the
government officials. the allegations
deal largely with the selection of the
grand jury bringing the indictments
| It is alleged that five members of
the grand Jury planned to get on the
jury on purpose to return indict-
ments. that Foreman Strawn conspir-
ed with U. s. Attorney Gregg to inti-
midate the other jurors into voting
for an Indictment, telling them that
they would probably be charged with
perjury if they failed to indict the
governor. It is also alleged that sew
en- partisan republicans were on the
jury and one bitter personal enemy
of Haskell. who is a democrat.
The motion declares that no evid-
ence was presented to show a con-
spiracy to defraud and that the sec
retary of the interior was fully cog
infant of the lots scheduled to
be sold and made no objection.

A bold. bad forger was abroad il

housebreaking may also be laid at tht
fellows door. The accused party is M
other than w. F. Mick. alias A. M
Mick, and sometimes even known as
w. j. Mick.
Saturday evening. :. it is alleged
Mick had bogus checks cashed to the
amount of about $3.50, so far as known
and quietly left Las Vegas before the
forgeries had been detected His first
victim was John A. Papen, the grocer
near the Gallinas river bridge, 10
whom he presented a check for sac.
purporting to have been signed by
the father OF Nick IN Sauta Fe. The
check was endorsed by the son, in the
presence Of his intended victim, and
promptly cashed by the latter for the
full amount for which it called.
Encouraged by obtaining money
so easily in his first attempt,
and realizing that it would be neces-
sary for him to fee the country. on
account of his rascality in this and
other particulars, Mick sought and
found other victims.
Kept up "Good' Work
Approaching M. Greenberger with
a check bearing the supposed sigma
ture of Harry Martin. local painter
and paper-hanger, and calling for the
neat sum of $34, Mick was again ac-
commodated with the amount, after
having endorsed the paper as being
good.
The third victim was John l..
Thompson, proprietor of the Antlers
bar, to whom Mick presented check
for $33, purporting to have been made
out In his favor by August Enrich,
a carpenter residing at Watrous, but
who is well known in Las Vegas. The

CLOUDBURST PLAYS HAVOC
WITH SANTA FE Main Line

The fourth cloudburst within a
month in the Immediate vicinity of
Bernalillo. a siding on the Santa
Fe main line between Albuquerque
and Las Vegas, which occurred late
yesterday afternoon, played havoc
with traffic on this road. AS the
flood swept down an arroyo along
side the track. it undermined the
roadbed for a considerable distance
and shortly afterwards when freigh.
came along, it was precipitated into
the washout. when the undermined
track gave way. Several cars were
ditched and the track torn up fo- a
considerable distance.
Today the railroad officials were
congratulating themselves that the
freight hit the washout first, for
the eastbound California limited would
have been due within short time.
and had 1t dashed into the washont
while running at high rate of speed,
a fearful wreck with great loss Of
life would no doubt have been the
result.
The washout was the Immediate
result of a series of downpotrs yes

The congress, which was organic

D. r. Francis of Missouri as its first
president has for it's scope of opera

irrigation. dry farming. the improve

the International Bureau of American
Republics. are to attend the meeting
in the interest of closer commercial
union between the thirty million peo-
pie of the ns-Mississippi states an6
the nations which they represent.
Of Wide Scope
Beside the question of closer re
lations with the southern republics,
with special reference to the early
completion of the Panama canal and
in the trans-Mississipp
states. the following questions will
come under discussion
National defense, with especial ref |
erence to the needs of the Pacific |
coast and Hawaii; and adquate mer-
chant marine and the need of gov
ernment aid in its upbuilding and
maintenance; conservation of natu- |
raj resources, irrigation and reclama- |

nio. stated today that freight rates

A very keen rivalry has sprung up
various cities for the honor of
the congress next year.
San Antonio, with the offer of a, guar
antee fund of $4,000 for the enter
tainment of the congress, appears to
lead the race at the present time,
though St. Paul. New Orleans. Los
Angeles. st. Louis and Omaha are ac-
lively at work. Col. Ike T Pryor, a
prominent Texas live stock man who
is now chairman of the executive com
mittee of the congress, win probably
be elected to succeed Thomas F.

as the big volume of water encounter

water was still running over the

could not see the washout, with the
result that the train was ditched.
