Aged Lady
Assaulted
Joe Thomas, COL. Attempted
to Rob Mrs. lula Pittman

One of the worst crimes attempt
ed here OF recent years occurred at
t0.45 p. M, Friday when Joe Thorn
as, col. known as "Smoky" broke
into Mrs. Julia Pittman's residence
on West North Street and in at
tempting to rob her also attempted
to kill her from all appearances.
Mrs. Pittman resides alone on
West North street adjoining Mrs.
j. E. Spangler and as she owns a
farm on the Plains is generally sup
posed to have considerable money
about the house although at the
time she had only about $1.50.
At 10.45 the negro entered the
house by the west kitchen window
by removing the screen. He found
Mrs. Pittman lying on couch and
she says he attacked her at once,
catching her by the throat with
one hand holding the other over
her mouth. In the struggle that
followed she managed to cry out
several times and attracted the
neighbors and also rolled off the
couch under a table. About this
time the burglar struck her across
the face with a stick of wood or
something that injured Mrs. Pitt
man severely but she escaped to
the next room and continued her
cries.
Thomas became scared and left
by the same window by which he
entered. He left his hat in the
yard. Mrs. Pittman recognized
Thomas, as he had been employed
a number of years at 1. o. Strik-
er's, the first house to the west,
and sent the officers to arrest him.
He was found at his home in Yves.
Marshall apparently asleep. A few
punches of a revolver by the ar
resting officer succeeded in awak-
ening him and after some sweating
he admitted his being there but
said he was assisted by white
man, which is disproven by Mrs
Pittman's statement.
The hat was such strong ev nee
that. he was compelled to admit
his guilt besides he was easily re-
cognized by Mrs. Pittm1n.

The American Mining congress has been instrumental in securing some new rulings from the forestry service which will be of great benefit to the mining interests. Perhaps the most important of the rulings is the one which grants the mining man or com pany the right to remove timber from one claim for the benefit of another, or the building of plants. Another ruling deprives the local forester of the prerogative of deciding whether or not the land claimed contains min erai, and was located in good faith which does away with the forester as mining expert. In the future the government will rely upon the re. port of qualified mining expert for it's information along such lines, which will be submitted to the de. partment of the interior.

Water bv Pack Horses.

Water is a precious article in the upper Rio Grande region of Texas. The Rio Grande itself contains an ample supply for the Mexicans and few Americans who live in this remote re zion, but 1t sometimes is difficult matter to transport and distribute a supply.
 In the villages and goat ranches sit uated back from the river the watet problem is one of the most difficult that the people have to contend with Many months may pass without rain. The country becomes dry and psrehed.
 The hardy desert plants are the oniy species of vegetation that are able to go through these long droughts- Water frequently has to be transported long distances from the Rio Grande. Where the country Is mountainous and rough, water carts cannot be used and the wa Ger is carried in water bags which it over the back of a horse-
 These bags are evenly balanced up- on the back of the horse and carry ten to twelve gallons when filed The bags are made of stout canvas and are fii- led with tin tunnels. It Is not uncosl- non to see a dozen or more of these water pack horses in a single train going 10 or from the river all in charge os a Mexican driver.-Kansas. City Star

The thorough develop ment of the Nacozari district prom ises to make that the largest copper producing district in either Arizona or Sonora The Pilares mine owned and worked by the Moctezuma Cop per company is one of the greatest copper mines in Mexico and others equally as great will be developed in that splendid district.

DOES AWAY WITH SMOKE.
pennsyivania Ra;lrosd Successful ir
 Its Experiments.

The Peansylvania's achievements ir the way of operating locomotives with out smoke have attracted the attention of the National Civic federation, and this organization has invited dis cussion of the reads methods from A W. Gibbs. the general superintendent of motive power of the road
 Mir. Gibbs reply forms very i'm. rortant contribution to the whole sub ject of smoke suppression in one O! its most difficult fields-that, namely. of the locomotive engine.
 A railroad knows that smoke is a public nuisance. but it has a very i'm. portant financial reason in addition for striving after sEoke suppression since from to II per cent. nf its to tai operating cost is for fuel. and much of the fuel ia wasted by imper- feet combustion. Bituminous coal. the hardest 10 burn without siaokS. is. however, a necessity in the engine.i of most roads. The solution Of the problem is found in methods Of stoa- ing and in mechanical appliances.
 Mir. Gibbs says that his roads ex- periments show that bituminous coal can be burned practically without smoke; that scme appliances are te.p- ful. but that even with the best of them the personal factor con not be ignored; and that, therefore. in the last analysis the solution of the prob lem lies in teaching the firemen how to stoke properly and in compelling them to use their knowledge.
 What can be done by one road can be done by others. and what railroads can do much more easily be done ii. factories. If the proprietors of en- zines and power plants can not learn they should be punished till they find it profitable to learn.
