BLAZING
Fire Has a Good Start on the For

Santa Fe.

At noon today the local forest
bureau discovered that the Jemez
forest had caught fire and was blaz-
ing away at a good rate. Although
the fire is at point forty miles from
Santa Fe, the flames could be plainly
seen from the top of the Federal
building. The fire appeared to be
burning fiercely and is hourly gain
ing great headway Immediately up
on discovering the blaze rangers
were dispatched from Santa Fe and
by telephone rangers from Pines and
Espanola were ordered out The To-
cation of the fire is north of Cochiti
canon, northeast of Pines. Latest re-
ports make the fire one of the worst
with which the local department has
had to contend Every possible ef-
fort is being made to check its prog
ress and it is thought that the for
esters will be successful before night.

$4,000 GIVEN FOR
SCENIC HIGHWAY
Trinidad Citizens S
Appre cia te Its
Great Value
AN EXAMPLE. TO SANTA FE.
Las Animas County Com.
missioners Vote Another
$4,000.

Trinidad Colo, June 1.-THE coun.
ty commissioners appropriated $4,000
fer completing the state highway
north and south through this county
by employment of convicts. This
makes over $4,000 given by citizens
and tax payers for the road.
Colonel J. A. Owenbey in behalf of
the Wootton Land and Fuel Company
appeared before the board of county
commissioners and voiced request
asking the commissioners to petition
the governor and the pententiary
commissioners to use the convicts
now engaged in completing the state
highway in constructing two separate
and distinct branch roads to and
across the Wootton properties, dis
tance in all of some three and half
miles. The colonel stated that this
company would meet the entire eX-
pense and give the county an addi-
.. tional bonus of $3.50. This matter
will be considered and decided upon
by the county commissioners when
other matters which at present hold
their attention are disposed Of.
While the commissioners have no
objection to voice to the proposition
to use the convicts in the building of
these roads, they contend that the
matter should be rightfully taken up
with the chamber of commerce,
| which organization has been instru-
mental in advancing the work Of con-
structing the state highway, and who
are particularly interested in having
the road continued to Trinidad. 1t
! is argued that the engaging of the
convicts on the Wootton projects
would have tendency to establish a
precedent. which might result in the
convicts being taken away. Pust al
present a concerted effort is beins
made to raise sufficient funds tt
keep the convicts here until the high
way is extended to Trinidad, after
the $4,000 which remains of the legis
lative appropriation is used up.

1t had been announced that Frances

Moore Scores Detective.
San Francisco, Cal, June H.
Moore, in his concluding remarks, de-
clared that Detective w. J. Burns in
augurated a spy system which sought
to bring evidence against Calhoun and
asked the jurors if they blamed Cal
houn for using the same measures in
defending himself. He scored the
detectives from Burns Office who he
said went to Utah and laid a trap for
brother Mason. He said he was
sorry for the strife which had troubled
San Francisco, but believed in justice
Calhoun Uses Picturesque Language
In his address Heney asked If there
was not sufficient evidence before the
jury to sink Patrick Calhoun to
the bottomless pitt Of hell. He de
clared that Calhoun is in position
where he would commit more crimes
to clear his skirts of the one o.
which he stood accused. He said he
had taken abuse and wondered how
many jurors would stand for what he
had taken. Then he declared: Blu
will never go into court again as
long as l live and allow any man tt
abuse me in the performance of
public duty, so help me God! Wha
[does it matter If I am abused by al
attorney like Earl Rogers, partne

BROKE INTO
DEPOT TAGAIN
Passenger Station Of Denver and Rio
Grande and New Mexico Central
Ransacked.

Although warned by Mounted Po-
lice Officer Page B. Otero, to keep
a strict watch last night for return
of the miscreants who broke into and
ransacked the Denver & Rio Grande
freight depot the night before, the
railroad employees failed to apprehend
the burglars who last night broke in
to the company's buildings, this time
the passenger depot and express Of
flee. The intruders gained entrance
through transsom and then used
the hatchet freely when once inside
to cut open trunks, the ticket case
and cash drawer. Apparently, the
outlaws are in search of particular
shipment Whether it is jewelry, or
valuable papers or merchandise is not
known. The depot employees were
taking an inventory today to see
whether anything is missing, for
strange to say, the intrduders car
ried nothing of value off with them,
which strengthens the theory that
they are after some particular OBJ
ject. The mounted police office is
working on the case today but would
not divulge what clews it has that
may lead to the discovery of the
perpetrators of the deed. The de-
pot, early this morning, just as the
freight depot yesterday morning, had
the appearance of cyclone having
swept through it.
Carried of Considerable Booty.
Investigations today showed that
the thief or thieves carried off con
siderable valuable stuff from trunks
that were stored at the depot. Out
of one trunk s25 worth of material
was taken and out Of other trunks
articles of value are missing. No
complete report of the losses can be
made until the owners of all of the
trunks are heard from. Suspicion
now falls on one or two local parties
and the authorities are following a
definite clew. This afternoon it was
announced that $25 was taken out Of
the cash till and that "quid" of to
bacco had been placed in that part
of the till in lieu Of the cash.

upon handed his visitor $780, and
Mrs. Farmer, who had risen from bed
in the meanwhile added $500 to the
