More than century ago, an English
poet, Erasmus Darwin. the grand
father of the illustrious scientist
Charles Darwin, made this prophecy:
Soon shall thy arm, conquered
steam, afar
Draw the slow barge, or drive the
rapid car;
Or, on underwriting wings expanded,
bear
The flying chariot through the fields
of air.
1t was generally thought that this
verse was the product of disordered
Imagination, but its predictions have
all been fulfilled. In 1907 Robert Full
ton solved the problem of steam navi-
cation; in 1927 Robert Stevenson built
the first steam locomotive; and in
1909 the Wright brothers and others
with their aeroplanes are subduing

THE ANNUAL
X. OF P. BALL
Proves to Be the Most Bril-
liant Held In
Years.

The event Of the social season,
the New Years Ball, given under
the auspices of Deming Lodge
No. 20, Knights Of Ppthias, ush-
cred out the old year and wei
coined the advent of the new in
the usual style that everything
assumes under the direction of
this popular order.
We have learned to look for
ward to this ball in Demihg an d
this year the boys outdid them
selves. The handsome costumes $
and the beautiful ball room Of
the Harvey House never pre-
sented a more charming APP
pearance.
While some of the older faces
were missing their places are
well filed by the younger gen.
Grafton.
The grand march so gracefully
| lad by Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh II.
/ Williams, was an imposing af-
fair with sixty couples in line.
Conductor Williams and his
charming wife have no superiors
in guiding their friends through
its graceful maizes. The sweet
strains of the orchestra put new
life in the older guests, "and all
went merry as a marriage bell. "
The ball of 1908 will go down
in the social chronicals of Dem
ing as one Of the largest attend.
ed and most brilliant affairs of
its history.
No mention of this ball would
be complete without a tribute Ia
Mine Host Babb, whose enter
tainment and service were per-
feet and would do credit to a
place of ten times the size of
Deming, ably assisted by his
charming wife. Every guest of
the ball praised his excellent
management.
Though it was we'll toward
morning when the strains of
Home, Sweet Home reminded
the happy revelers that home
circles and fresides had been
forgotten in the joy of living
amid such splendors, few of the
joyous throng welcomed the
timely hint and all regretted that
a whole year must elapse before
a repetition of the happy event
might occur.

FRANK EVANS
MURDERED
Well Known StoCkman
Cruelty Struck
Down,

One CT the most deplorable
clses that The Graphic has had
o OCCASION to chronicle for a long
time Is the killing Of one Of our
most influential cattlemen, Frank
Evans. which took place in
the Jog" some eighty miles
southwest of Deming, between
two and three o'clock New Years
morning.
About eight-thirty a. m. on
Jan1ary 1st DR.. Swope received
a telegram to come at once to
Hermanas as Frank Evans is
badly hurt. In less than an hour
with Frank Nordhaus driving
his big auto they were whirling
away to the relief of the wound
el man.
Mr.. Evans, accompanied by
his assistants, Edward Cohen,
S. Billingslea and jim Kennedy,
were moving a herd of some
fcur-hundred range cattle to n
new range recently secured in
the extreme southwestern part
of the territory. They had
reached a point some fifteen
miles below the international
boundary line fence and there
camped for the night. Mr..
Evans and his principal assist
ant, Eddie Cohen, retired in the
same bunk after a hearty sup
per, Kennedy and Billingslea oc-
cupying separate beds at some
distance away. Both were sleep
ing soundly when awakened by
Kennedy at two a. M, when
he pulled the tarps from their
heads and inquired which was on
the side next to where he stood.
Ed Cohen asked, What do you
want" and Kennedy replied,
Thought | would get break
fast. " Cohen replied, 1T is too
early to get breakfast. " well, "
said Kennedy, II will make a fire
and we will have plenty of
Goals" Cohen then went back
TO sleep to be awakened some
time latter by Kennedy striking
Evans in the head with an AK.
This he repeated twice before
Cohen could spring from his
bed and stop him. When con.
fronted by Cohen Kennedy threw
the ak away and in spite of the
afforts of both Cohen and Bill.
lingslea, who are both small men,
he cut the rope halter and sprang
upon Evans horse, which stood
ready saddled, and rode away.
With the light Of firebrand
Evans companions examined
his injuries. Three gaping,
sickening wounds showed the
effects of the assassin's blows
with the pole of the ak.
The boys hastily dressed anC
while one did all that was pos,
sible to relieve the unconscious,
dying man. the other rode hasti,
ly away to summon help from 8
camp some two miles distant,
Mr.. Evans was still breathing.
The amount Of injury was moi
easy to determine in the poor

light. A hasty consultation was
had and Cohen rode way to sum-
mon medical assistance while
Billingslea rode in the opposite
direction to notify Mr.. Peter
son. partner OF Evans in the
CCC Cattle Company, Of what
had happened.
DR.. Swcpe met Cohen at Her.
manas and then learned the par
ticulars of the homicide. Mr..
Peterson reached the scene at
II o'clock to find that Evans had
expired some two hours and a
half after receiving the wounds.
He placed the body in a hack
and started for Deming. DR..
Swope and his party met the
corpse some ten miles below the
international boundary. The re-
mains were brought to Deming
that night, where they were
prepared for burial and later
shipped to the former home OF
Mr.. Evans in Nebraska for in
terment whittier they were ac.
companied by Mr.. A. Rankin,
another partner of Mr.. Evans.
Kennedy, after committing
the foul deed, rode to Hachita,
where he got breakfast. lie

east to siding, where he board.

met the train at Hermanas and
succeeded in OBTAINING Kennedy

vicinity Of Deming for ten or
eleven years. He was a quiet,
unassuming man and has been
eminently successful in his bust.

an enemy in the county.

the fourth, the offense having
occurred in Grant county. Ken.

charge and was held to the ac.

Evans was unmarried, as i.

years of age.
Kennedy is probably 95.

His First Arrest.

About the first arrest sheriff
Stephens made after being sworn
into Office was that Of a negro
giving the name of WIN. Simp-
son, whom he caught in the act
of burglarizing the residence of
conductor Eittreim in the south
west part of town. The intruder
awakened the inmates of the
house about 2 a. m. The sheriff
was quietly telephoned and Mr..

of the law. At the preliminary,

ed here, was bound over to

jury.

More particulars Of the sudden death
of Mrs. Hortense Horner have been re-
ceived from her sister, Mrs. Farquhar,
in letter written to home folks after
she reached Akron, Colorado, where
Mrs. Horner died. 1t seems that she
was taken sick during the night while
in her berth with her youngest daugh-
ter, and when Akron was reached she
was taken off the train and into the
waiting room and physician sum-
moned, but nothing could be done for
her. The physician who attended her
stated that the trip or change of alti-
tude had nothing to do with her sudden
death, and she probably would have
died about the same time if she had not
started on the trip, as she was suffering
from severe heart trouble. When Mr..
and Mrs. Farquhar arrived at Akron
they found that the Masons there had
made all arrangements and had the
body ready to be taken right on to
Boise, Idaho, in compliance with re-
quest which she made that she be
buried there. Her funeral was held at
Boise on Sunday and she was buried by
the side of her husband. Her two
daughters will probably return tc
Leon with Mr.. and Mrs. Farquhar tc
make their home.

B. Patty at the opera house last We'd
nesday evening to hear his lecture and
demonstration of wireless telegraphy,
radium and liquid air and they were en-
tertained for an hour and half in a
highly interesting manner. Mr.. Patty
has spent years in studying these in
teresting subjects and it was the first
time many of our people ever had an
opportunity to learn anything about
them. While his talk on radium, the
new metal which is quoted as worth
$16,0O0,000 pound, was interesting
from scientific standpoint, it did not
take as we'll with the audience as the
wireless telegraphy and liquid air, espe-
cially the experiments with the latter,
and it was an entertainment we'll worth
seeing and hearing. The lecture was
given under the auspices of the High
School and their profit was about Sis. 90.
