regarded among things sacred. Many
years ago, when society formed for
that purpose had under consideration
the matter of designating state
flower there were two factions, the
"Columbines" and the Mariposas."
The latter faction insisted that the
Mariposa lily, a fragrant but fragile
flower should be accorded the honor.
There followed friendly but spirited
debate on the floor of the State Sell
ate between the respective champions
OF their favorite bloom, resulting in a
majority in favor of the Columbine
The "Mariposa" faction leader, a lady

GEORGE LABADlE DIES
AT TERRITORIAL ASYLUM

George Labadie died at the asylum
here at midnight last night. He was
admitted to the institution April H.
|190S, being brought over from the
territorial penitentiary at Santa Fe
where he was serving short term
for having forged railroad pass at
Ration while in the employ of the
Santa Fe Railway company.
George Labadie was the son of a
colored barber who was married to
a white woman and who conducted
"a shop on the plaza many years ago.
She is now resident of Sacramento,
Calf, in which city another son, Fred
Labadie, is employed as painter and
paper-hanger.
For a number of years the young
man, who came to such sad ending,
was employed by the Veeder brothers
in the capacity of an Interpreter in
Indian depreciation claims. He re-
ceived handsome salary for this
work and spent his money lavishly.
While thus engaged he was married
to woman in Kansas. Together
they came to Las Vegas and, after
he lost his position he and she ran
restaurant on Bridge street The
business didn't reach the proportions
they thought it would and they dis
posed of their effects and quit. Short
ly afterward the man and wife separ-
ated and the two never became re-
conciled again.
George Labadie was not bad man
at heart, but he was an enemy to
himself. He reaped the seed that
he sowed.

ADDS NEW CHAPTER TO
MoRLEY-eEYER LAND SUIT

In chambers this morning, Chief
Justice w. j. Mills granted DR.. r. A.
Morley leaye to file an amended
complaint in triangular suit, the out
come of which is problematical.
1t seems that DR.. Morley sold ]. p
Geyer, the dairyman, $40 acres OF
land on the mesa at $12 an acre. The
latter paid $4,000 down and had a
mortgage executed for the balance
of the purchase price amounting to
over $4,000 For some reason, an
oversight or otherwise, this instru
ment was not acknowledged.
Subsequently to this transaction,
Mr.. Geyer borrowed $4,000 on the
same tract from David Winternitz
giving mortgage which was duly ac-
knowledged and recorded.
The question now IS as to the prior
ity of these mortgages. 1t is set up
by counsel for Winternitz that for
the reason that the mortgage given
by Geyer to Morley was not acknowl-
edged, therefore no legal and binding
notice was given to anybody who
might afterwards be interested and
concerned in the busines tsransaction.

CONDUCTORS MAY STRIKE
ON THE MEXICAN CENTRAL

Ell Paso, Texas. Sept. 1S.-It is re
ported here that within three days
the conductors in the employ of the
National Railways of Mexico will
strike.
1t is said that the recent arrests
made at Guadalajara for alleged rob
berry of freight cars have no bearing
on the situation.
On the contrary railroad men say
that the policy of Mexicanizing the
working force in the operating depart
ment is the chief cause of the stand
the men are said to contemplate.
Officials of the Mexican Central in
Juarez profess ignorance OF any i'm
pending strike. They do not deny,
however, that it is intended to dis
place Americans with Mexicans.
