tion to prevent any disorder
The guards patrolled the vicinity Of
the Jail throughout the night and
more guards remained in the build
ing. ready for action at an instant's
notice. There was no disturbance
during the night.
The motive for the killing is said
to be the aid that Pooler extended to
Potter's wife a few weeks ago. Ac-
cording to this story, Potter was beat
ing his wife, when Pooler heard her
cries
He went to her rescue and forced
Potter to desist. 1t is said that this
action so angered Potter that he
swore he would kill Pouler at the first
opportunity, and these threats against
the life of the man who interfered in
his domestic affairs were the cause
Of the arrest of Potter.
Potter returned to Taos county only
a few days ago from Colorado, and
ii is said that in Colorado he was un-
der arrest on suspicion of being i'm
plicatcd in "a recent train robbery in
that state.
The news of the killing reached
here this morning and created a
sensation, as Pooler was well known
in this city. Immediately upon learn
ing of the assassination. Governor
Curry ordered Captain Fred Fornoff
of the territorial mounted police, who
is at Ration, to hurry to Taos ami

Fornoff viii reach Taos tomorrow
and will bring Potter to the terri
tOrial penitentiary for safe keeping.
as the jail at Taos is a ramshackle
affair and it is feared that IL any
attempt is made to lynch the accused
man. his guards will have hard
time defending their prisoner.
Until Fornoff reaches Taos every
precaution will be taken to prevent a
lynching and ii is believed that
friends of the murdered man will not
attempt violence as they are assured
that both county and territorial Off
cials will take every means 10 see

FRENCH ROBBERY CASE
MAY BE- DELAYED
Irregularity in Drawing Juries for
COlfaX County Court May Cause
POstpOnemcnt OF Trials.

On account Of the Colfax county
jury commissioners not drawing 500
names for the jury box, from which
juries for the March term of court
were drawn, the attorneys for the
defendants in a number of cases, in
Guiding the famous French robbery
case, have challenged the regularity
of the juries and no cases for the
petit jury may be tried, according to
report from Ration. Instead of
placing 500 names in the box, the
commissioners only drew $50 names.
The failure to draw the other twenty
will cost ColfaX county several thou
sand dollars and will place the doe-
ket back six months
The attorneys for the alleged
French robbers are among those pro-
testing against the use of the iuries.

Taos. n. NJ, March 27.-R. c.
Pooler, one of the best known Demo-
cratic politicians of the territory, and
chairman of the Taos county Demo
cratic central committee, was assas-
sinated at 8 o'clock last night as he
sat reading in his home. He was
killed by bullet from 1910 Win
chester fired through the window in
front of which he sat George Potter,
local character. has been placed
under arrest charged with the crime.
Santa Fe, n. NJ, March 27-R. c.
Pooler, chairman of the Democratic
central committee of Taos county,
and one of the most prominent DEM
ocratic politicians in northern New
Mexico, was assassinated last night
by George Potter, a local character.
PJoler was shot down as he sat
reading by a lamp in the parlor of
his home at Taos, his slayer firing
through the window with a 1910
Winchester.
The bullet pierced his lungs and he
died within a few minutes in the arms
of his wife, who was in another room
when the shot was fired. He did not
live long enough to make a statement
Mrs. PoOler hastily summoned aid
and the whole town turned out to
find the murderer. Because of threats
made by Potter suspicion at once
pointed to him as the murderer and
he was placed under arrest within a
short time after the shooting.
A Winchester rife, of the caliber
from which the bullet that killed
Pooler was fred, was found in Pot
ter's possession and this added to the
evidence against him. The rifle had
been fred, apparently, but a short
time before.
Potter was taken to jail, and a
strong guard, every member armed
with rifle and revolver, was placed
about the structure where he was
confined. Friends of Pooler made
threats of lynching and it was deem
ed advisable to exert every precau-
