connection with the deal has been ex-
planned as perfectly proper. he being

1900, he became general attorney and
counselor for all the Southern Pa

HoLD-UP OCCURS ON SIXTH
STREET WITHIN SHADOW
OF THE CITY HALL

Within stones throw of the city
hall and but a block and half from
the postoffice, Miss Cora Barron. Of
Eau Claire. Wis, who arrived in Las
Vegas d few days ago to become a
member of the New Mexico Normal
university faculty as kindergarten
teacher, was attacked by a footpad
shortly after o'clock Saturday night
at the corner of Sixth street and Ma
tional avenue. Her assailant robbed
her OF large leather handbag, CON
tanning two drafts for $50, about SO
in small bills and silver and solid
gold watch valued at $50. The foot
pad made good his escape by dash
ing up the alley between Sixth and
Seventh streets. Aside from being
badly frightened, Miss Barron was not
injured.
With Miss b. D. Boring, relief oper-
ator at the Postal Telegraph COM
pany, Miss Barron was walking south
on Sixth street. When they neared
the corner of the DIR. Bradley resi-
dence, a man walked up behind them
and as they stepped aside to allow
him to pass, he grabbed Miss Barron
from behind, locking her in his arms
and holding her helpless. He at first |
attempted to drag her towards
the alley, but as Miss Boring began
to scream, he suddenly changed his
mind and partly releasing his vic
tim, made grab for the handbag she
was carrying under her right arm.
He wrenched this from her grasp and
turning loose of his victim, ran to-
wards the rear of the Bradley resi-
dence and disappeared up the alley.
In response to Miss Boring's calls
for help, several men in the neigh
borhood hurried to the rescue, but

thirty-five miles out from Pecos sta

to investigate the poisoning of val

The mountain roads are unusually
rough from recent heavy rains and it
was difficult for the deputy sheriff
to reach his destination without acct
dent and in any reasonable length of
time. And the trip was void of re-
suits, as evidence sufficient to war |

against parties suspected of poison
