F. G. Carpenter, until a year
ago a ranchman and sheep own
er in the Estancia Valley and
one of the first men to come to
that section, was in the city yes
terday from Montrose, Colo,
where he is now in the sheep
raising business. Mr.. Carpenter
who has many old friends in this
section says that he has been
carrying 1000 ewes on his ranch
near Montrose this year and
saved 1900 lambs from the flock.
This comes pretty near being a
record. The conditions for
sheep raising up here are the
best | have ever seem said Mr..
Carpenter yesterday. Il took
care of the whole 1000 sheep
during the season with the as
sistance of only two herders. In
the summer three herders are
able to take care of two big
bands of sheep with ease"
Mr.. Carpenter left last night
for Willard, N. M, on business
matters. Albuquerque Journal.

Prize with Miss Edith
Atkinson Second

The Silver Medal Oratorical
Contest under the auspices of
the local W. C. T. U. at the
M E. Church on Tuesday night
OF this week attracted a large
audience, the full house demon
strating the fact that our people
are alive to the necessity of Tenn
perance work in our midst. The
ladies had spent much time in
decorating the building, the re-
suit being very tasteful and neat.
Autumn leaves and flowers, in
terspersed with bows of white,
added much to the appearance of
the interior of the room. The
motto of the Union, For God
and Home and Native Land
swung artistically over the whole.
The contestants, eight in num-
ber, were of our younger ladies,
and each showed sufficient train,
ing and hard work, both on the
part of themselves and that of
the ladies having had them in
charge, Mesdames Russell and
Mendenhall. To choose anyone
of the eight as the best would
have been injustice to the rest.

or points. The judges, Mrs. Min
ME Brumback, c. R. Easley and
F. H. Ayers, found their great
est difficulty in making the de-
cision in awarding the medal.
After quite a lepgthy argument
the medal was given Miss Pearl
Mendenhall, although the work
Of others was so excellent, that
the announcement was greeted
with dissatisfaction on the part
of many of the members Of the

being the favorite among a large
number.
The contestants were: The
Misses Marie Green, Jeffie Duke,
Bessie Boyer, Rena Smith, Bessie
Atkinson, Myrtle Weaver, Pearl

suckers, but for men, who want
to live in a good country and will
help build up the same. We
want good men to come and de-
velop this valley. We find as
fine a soil as we ever saw, and
good pure air and good pure
water. We find that this country
has proven very beneficial to
people who have consumption;
We want men to come here who
have done something where
they have lived and who will do
something after they get here.
We want men who believe in
educating their children, and
who will help in the near future
to select one of the towns in our
valley, Estancia, Willard or
Mountainair, in which to build a
college, that our children may be
able to fill any station in life.
The undersigned citizens and
farmers desire to put few
figures and facts before you in
regard to what has been done
here and what can be done iI-
the future.
A statement from Henry Love:
4 have been here for three
years. The first year ! made Is
bushels of corn per acre, sod
land without cultivation. The
next year | made Is to 35 bushels
per acre, sold $4,000 worth of
stuff in the year 1908 and expect
to sell 81, 900 worth this year.
Bro. ED. We were told that
5000 men had filed in the valley.
Now we want to put 1000 to
raising corn, and if they had
come and done as he has, and
stuck to their farms, how many
thousands of dollars worth would
there be in the valley for sale
now.
A statement from J. R. Nc
Michael;-I helped reap fifteen
acres of oats one mile from
Punta, N. NJ, which made twen-
ty tons. Some of the oats were
six feet high. All would average
four feet.
E. E. Isenhart: Il made plenty
the first year to do me. This
year | will make 1000 bushels of
corn, rs tons of millet, 80 tons
of oats. Will have 36 tons to
sell. I have beans, pumpkins,
hogs, eggs and butter to sell and
am contented with my home.
T. H. Irwin: think I will
make 500 bushels of corn, 80, 900
pounds ofspuds 20, 900 pounds of
beans, and lots of other stuff.
We want 1000 men to raise
beans in this valley. Last year
I made over $500 off of six acres,
and am better satisfied today
than ever.
R. E. Cha pman:- In 1907 |
planted three acres of cabbage
which netted me $210; two and
q half acres of beans which
brought me $40; five acres of
cane, $100; one half acre of
melons $25. In the year 1909,
40 acres of spuds will give me
215, 900 pounds having planted

WRIGHT BROTHERSAT
HOME; CANYONS ROAR
Noted Aviators Arrive at Dayton, O.,
Accompanied by Sister, and
Given Royal Welcome
by Citizens

DAYTON, Ohio, May 13.-Booming
cannon and brass bands greeted VIII
bur, Oryille and Katherine Wright on
their arrival in their home city today
from Europe
A gun squad at the National Military
home fired salutes all day. At their
home the Wrights were greeted by
several thousand people and tonight
a reception was attended by 10000 per-
sons.
AS soon as the inventors could leave
their home they hurried to their shop,
where they inspected the work al
ready done on several machines now
being built
Wilbur Wright said: THE possibili- :
ties of the aeroplanes are many but
not yet fully determined. This much is
certain, however. The manipulation
of the machine is simple and can be
mastered by any one in a few lessons.
An altitude of mile above the earth
is entirely practicable, and as safe as
a few hundred feet The machines as
we have been using them embrace lit
tie more or less than the mere basic
principle, but we are improving each
aeroplane more or less over the pre-
cedng one built, and predict that the
process of development will be fully as
rapid as that of the automobile"

MEXICAN PATRIOTS
PLACED ON TRIAL
JURY SECURED AND TESTI-
MONY BEGUN
Letters Alleged to Have Been Written
by RevoIutionists Are Put in
Evidence Tending to Show
Invasion Planned

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., May ia jury
was secured today to hear the trial of
Magon, Villareal and Rivera on charge
of violating the neutrality laws and
directing an armed invasion into Mex
leo.
United States Attorney Alexander in
his opening statement to the jury de-
clared the government proposed to
prove that the alleged revolutionary
by the defendants, that the letters die
tated at that city were subsequently
mailed from points in Canada, and the
overt act finally committed at Douglas,
Ariz., in this county, when instructions
were received by one of the junta
members, named Espinosa, directing
the movements of the proposed inva-
sion.
The first witness was A. 7! Samuels
of st. Louis, who was advertising man
ager of the Regeneration, the official
organ of the junta at st. Louis. HIS
testimony was relative to the sigma
lures of the defendants on documents
issued in the interest of the revolution
which are to be introduced in the case
City Jailer j. B. Loving of Los Ange-
les also testified to the signatures as
compared with letters and orders
signed by the prisoners while incar-
cerated in the California jail.
Immigration Inspector Connell on the
stand told the history of the famous
raid on the Douglas junta in Septem-
Der, 1906 by the Arizona rangers and
immigration officers, when papers,
Flagstaff and parapherna-
liza of the iunta were seized. Letters
were identified that were captured at
that time.
Court Interpreter Pedro Miehelena
testified to the correct translation OF
the Spanish letters into English, and
the letters of instructions to Espinosa
were introduced as evidence. The let
tiers designate Espinosa as chief of the
revolutionary forces, and treat at
length of the plans to invade Cananea
and other points in Mexico, cautioning
prudence and secrecy in perfect1ng ar
and advising that Ameri-
cans be not molested. as fear of inter-
yention would be probable.
The overthrow of the Mexican gov
eminent was planned to grow in IA
vor, and the letters were enthusiastic
of ultimate success in the triumph OF
the Liberal party
The letters were introduced only after
vigorous objections by Attorney Clearly
for the defense. The case is expected
to occupy several days, as many Wit
nesses are here.

TAKES FATAL DOSE
OF POISON ON CAR
VITALITY OF LAB0RER CAUSES
AMBULANCE TWO RUNS
After Drinking carbolic Acid Man At
tscks Conductor, Then Appar-
emily Dies, but Again
Shows Signs of Life

The unusual vitality of an uniden-
titled laborer was the cause or Two nut
ried trips of the police ambulance 10
the Pacific Electric station at SXtn
and Main streets last night. Both times
the ambulance returned to the ponce
station empty.
The man boarded car No. 407 in the
charge of Motorman e. M. Whithorn
and Conductor A. w. Mayborn, at San
Pedro at sos o'clock He took a seat
near the center of the car, and shortly
afterward, while the car was passing
over a trestle in San Pedro, took
four-ounce bottle of carbolic acid from
his pocket and drank of the contents.
Immediately on drinking the poison the
man became violent and made savage
attack on Conductor Mayborn The lat
ter grappled with the frenzied man, and
after partially subduing him was aided
by Mortorman Whithorn, who stopped
the car and assisted the conductor in
holding the man until he had quieted
down.
After the victim of the poison had
stopped struggling enough to permit his
being handled by one man, the motor
man returned to his post and made all
speed for Los Angeles, only stopping
to notify the Los Angeles office of the
railroad of the incident.
The railroad authorities notified the
police and the police ambulance was
waiting when the car arrived. The man
apparently had breathed his last before
the car reached this city, and when
the ambulance appeared for the man it
was announced that he was dead.
The coroner then was notified. He
ordered the body removed to the I'M
dertal1ing establishment of Pierce Bros,
and while their ambulance was on the
way to get the body Desk Sergeant
Harry White at the central police sta
ton was called to the telephone and
told that the supposed dead man showed
signs of returning consciousness.
The ambulance was hurried to the
scene second time and arrived just
few seconds ahead of the undertakers.
The trip again was useless, for there
was no indication that a spark of life
remained. The body was then turned
over to the undertakes and taken to
the morgue.
The body is that of a laborer between
80 and 40 years of age. The man was
dressed in a gray coat, black vest,
trousers of heavy material of gray
ish brown color. The hair was dark
and the face was smooth shaven. The
man wore two working shirts. He had
a scar over the right eye. 1t had the
appearance of having been recently in
flicted and was not quite healed.
The hat worn by the man bore the
initials "A. j. H." cut in the sweat
band. Inquiry of the druggist whose
name appeared on the bottle of poison
from which the man had drank and
also on q full 4-ounce bottle of the
same acid failed to disclose the iden-
titv of the man. The register of pol
sons failed to disclose any purchaser
whose initials were similar to those
supposed to belong to the dead man.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Unit
ed States army is to have an aeronau-
tic field near Washington which will
rival the Aerodrome at Berlin and that
at Issy les Moulineaux, near Paris,
where many famous aviators have
startled the world with their perform
ances. Gen. James Allen, chief signal
officer, U. S. A., in discussing the plans
of the signal corps, said to night that
such q field would be procured, The
Fort Myer grounds are not considered
safe or large enough for experimental
work and for teaching aviation. The
Wright brothers are DESTROYS of having
a better place to teach two army Of
ficers in accordance with their contract
with the government. General Allen
said the Wrights are expected early in
June and will have until June 2S to
complete their official trials, which We're
brought to sudden termination by the
accident on September II last.
