She seemed even more beautiful
than in the brief period when 1 had
before seen her. Her robes chung to

She took her place calmly before the
center CT the semicircle. The count
approached her and taking her hand
touched it to his lips with tri-
umphant smile. She offered no show
of resistance. Had she steeled herself
to submit meekly to whatever be in
store for her? Then ensued some
ritualistic gibberish of which 1 could
not catch the import, during which
each member of the semicircle seized
what looked to be chalice from the
altar and beat upon it with short
stick.

answer thou unto the conjuration of
the Four and say if it is thy will that

intoned in solemn voice.
From somewhere in the roof came
the answer in hollow reverberating
tones:

"Then come, thou art mine," said
the count as with outstretched arms
he advanced toward Thaida. She
stood disdainfully erect as he neared
her and l trembled to see such lowell

His arms were just about to fold her

TWO PUBLIC MEET
lNGS AT THE CAPITOL
Historical Society Will Continue the
Usual Custom.

The New Mexico Historical Society
will hold two public meetings in the
capitol during the session of the legis-
ture, as has been usual for many
years.
Hon. r. E. Twitchell is preparing
very elaborate and interesting lee
ture on New Mexican historical
topic, which will be profusely Illus
trated with stereoptican views. He
is having these prepared without any
regard to expense, eminent artists
having been employed to produce the
original pictures in number of in
stances.
The society has also been fortunate
in obtaining a promise from Mrs. NJ.
c. Stevenson, the most eminent living
American ethnogolist, to make an ad.
dress on an interesting subject con-
nected with the Pueblo Indians. 1t
will be remembered that the entire
twenty-third annual report of the
Bureau of Ethnology, being more than
six hundred pages of print besides the
numerous colored illustrations, was
the work of Mrs. Stevenson, and is on
the subject of the pueblo of Zuni, it
being the only case in which an en-
tire volume has been devoted to the
work Of q sin ole author
! Mrs. Stevenson is now engaged in
Investigations relative to the pueblos
of Santa Clara and San Idefonso and
has kindly consented to come tc
Santa Fe TO attend this meeting.
! Historical papers will also be read
by Prof. Vaughn, professor of history
in the Normal University and by
other professors from the territoria,
institutions.
1t is possible that the society may
arrange to throw open it's rooms on
one evening for a general reception
to the members of the legislature and
citizens of the territory, if proper ar
engagements for lighting and heating
can be made. It's library is now the
mecca of all students of southwest
ern history as its collection of books
and documents relating especially tC
| the Spanish and Mexican epochs is
! unsurpassed.

MlSCREANTS POUR OIL
ON BODY AND FIRE 1T
BungIed Attempt to Conceal Revolt
ing Crime.

Longmont, Colo, Jan. 21.--The en-
tire neighborhood has been thorough
ly wrought up over the discovery of
the partially consumed body of Will
liam Collier, an aged and well-to-do
farmer living north of here.
Collier had evidently been mur-
dered for robbery and in an effort to
hide the crime his assalants poured
coil oil over the body and around the
house, evidently intending to destroy
all evidence by burning the place.
The mistake was made, however, of
closing all the doors and windows and
shutting off all air and preventing the
fire from spreading. The murder was
committed at least four or five days
ago according to appearances. Col
lier's trousers pockets were turned
inside out and his watch and money
missing. There is no definite clue to
the guilty parties.

CASE HEARD BY TER.
RITORIAL ENGINEER
Parties Concerned Are Given Time to
Submit Briefs.

Territorial Engineer Vernon i. Sui
livan has just concluded the impor-
tant hearing of the contest of the Sac
ramento Valley Irrigation company
against J. L. Lawson and H. w. VOL
colt of Alamogordo, n NJ, for water
appropriations from the Sacramento
river in that locality.
Attorneys A. B. Renehan and G. w.
Pritchard of Santa Fe represented the
Irrigation company together with it's
president, John P. Wagner of Kansas
Cily. Mo.
The contest arises from the filing
of Wolcott and Lawson upon waters
Of the Sacramento river in Otero
county which it is claimed were ap-
propriated through beneficial use and
an application to the territorial engi-
neer by the irrigation company. In
this connection the company called
A. M. Jackley of Alamogordo to the
stand and practically an entire day
was consumed in his examination snd
cross ss-examination by WolcOtt and
Lawson who are attorneys in their
own cause. Mr.. Jackley was in the
employ of the company for some
years and was auditor of the com
pany's books. Most of another day
was devoted in filing miscellaneous
papers and Engineer Sullivan ad
journed the hearing giving each party
sufficient time to submit briefs before
taking UP the application of Wolcott
and Lawson for approval or rejection
A large number of hearings are
looked before the engineer and dur
ing the coming two months Mr.. Sulli
'an Will be kept busy taking testi
mony on water right applications.

BLAMEFORD|SASTER
BEING SHIFTED
Some Very Pointed
Charges Are
Made
DEATH LIST GROWS
Badly Burned and Unrecog-
nizable Bodies Buried
In One Lot.

Chicago, Jan. 2l.--The responsible.
ty for the accident at 73rd street in
termediate water crib in which fifty
or more workmen lost their lives,
is being shifted from one department
of public service to the other. But it
is certain that criminal prosecution
of those responsible for the condi-
tions at the crib will follow. Among
the charges made by the survivors
are the following;
Poor Means Of Escape.
Very little fire apparatus was kept
on hand; fire extinguishers about the
place were useless; dynamite was
carelessly handled and on several oc-
casions explosions were narrowly
averted; the building was poorly con-
structed and was veritable fire trap;
the only method of escape in case of
fire was the aerial tramway which
carried but few persons at time and
was slow in acting. Efforts were made
by the rescuers at daybreak today
to ascertain whether or not any work
men were still living in the shaft be.
meath the crib, a mile and a half out
in the lake. All of the air pumps were
kept working and it is believed that
some men may yet be found alive.
George w. Jackson, of the construc-
tion company, which built the crib, in
formed the coroner today that it would
be impossible for several days to give
complete list of the dead.
Condition Of Injured Serious.
There is a possibility that the list
of dead in yesterdays tragedy at the
intermediate crib may reach sixty
six Such is the opinion expressed to-
day by the coroner. There are Al
bodies at the morgue which cores
ponds with the number reported miss
ing by the Jackson company. But the
Icompany's payroll is incomplete and
inquiries have been received for many
whose names are not on the roll but
who are said by relatives to have
been working at the crib by day. Of
the thirty-nine injured rescued yes
terday, fifteen remained at the hospit-
ais today. The condition of five of
them is serious.
Bodies Not Recognizable.
Many dead bodies, absolutely un-
recognizable because of their burned
and blackened condition and in many
cases where portions are missing, are
encased in sacks at Murphy's morgue.
1t has been decided to have one fun
eral and bury them in one big lot.
May Be One Hundred Dead.
President D'Andrea, of the Sewer
and Tunnel Miners Association, ex-
pressed the fear today that the death
list of the crib fire may reach one
hundred. He said he had been told
there were 175 working in the crib.
He gave the opinion that many miss
ing were undoubtedly at the bottom
of the lake and would probably never
be recovered. The organization will
investigate.

FORMER SUPREME

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 21.-M. J.

JUST AMONG
OURSELVES

Cognizant of the natural modesty
which proscribes the newly-elected
president of the New Mexican, Paul
F. A. Walter. from saying anything
regarding himself, the news editor
surreptitiously takes 1t upon himself
to give space to a few appropriate
comments. The old adage that great
events never come singly" and the
saying that sit never rains but 1t
pours" have been most forcibly eXem-
plified in this weeks experience or
Editor Walter. He had hardly been
appointed reporter of the supreme
court, when the directors of the New
Mexican selected him as president
and chief editor of the New Mexican,
and to top off all this deluge of pleas
antness, his wife today presented him
with a newborn. Could anything be
lovelier or better planned? Yet the
thunderbolt of good fortune certainly
hit the proper mark, for none is more
deserving or better qualified to be the
recipient of honors than this we'll
liked and thoroughly capable gentle
man. He is especially qualified by
long training and experience to sue
cessfully guide the editorial destiny
of the New Mexican and in view of
the change that was necessary the
directors could not have made bet
ter or more competent selection. The
employees of the New Mexican unite
in heartily congratulating the new
head. Ad multos amos.
