MEXICO PEOPLE NOT
 DISCOURAGED
Hope to Get Statehood at Short Session of Congress, Says a Prominent Resident of That Territory.

WASHINGTON. March I2.-"Tho people of New Mexico are not discour- aged. They will get statehood, we hope. at the coming session Of con gress." said X. S. Woodruff, a well known resident of Roswell, N M., who came here TOT tns inauguration and remained over Sor few days on business before the interior depart ment.
 New Mexico Is not the land Of law less people t has been represent ed. Tho people who have brought cTiti- cism on the territory are not residents Of New Mexico, but came into the ter ritOry merely seeking opportunities to exploit it's resources, without any intention of remaining. As good peo- pie are found in New Mexico gener- ally as in any state in the union It Is true that in western New Mexico there are not as many well settled communities as are found in the east ern part, where agriculture is the great industry. ! venture to say that there is no section of the United States that can boast Of finer soil. Alfalfa land in New Mexico yields it's owner from $50 to s75 an acre an nually, while orchards bring an in- come of S15O to S200 per acre. All over the territory land has advanced In value during the past year at Q marvellous rate. ! know Of one large tract that was sold a few weeks ago on which there was an aavaace of s5000 9 week after it's sale This merely shows what great strides we are making in a material way. We are entitled to statehood and I am confident that we will get it, notwith- standing the immense amount Of un- just criticism which has been heaped upon us recently. New Mexicans gen eTally welcome the fullest inyestiga- ton of their affairs by the senate committee on territories or any other body that congress cares to send out"

 For the past three days numerous telegrams have been sent in all d. rections. Railroad officials all along the Hartman lines in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas have been on extra duty looking for a lest cripple. who according to ali accounts, was to be placed in a lucrative position by the railway magnate on account of his misfortune sustained in the railway service years ago. There is some grounds for the belief that the rail way magnatc did entertain some such philanthropic purpose regarding this same cripple. provided. however, that after investigation he was proven to be the genuine article. But. alas. reports from El Paso are true. and railway men say there is no doubt of it. Mir Hartman will probably drop Che investigation when he reads the police reports from the Pass City upon his arrival

 Footsteps.

MAGAZINE. Arkansas, March H. Journeying from the nome of her sis ter, fin Boonville, Ark, Miss Dot Thomas. formerly a belle of this place. went to Nashville. Tenn. and Killed herself in a hotel just as her father. Doctor E. w. Thomas. had taken his life in a hotel in this city three years ago.
 Disappointment over the elopement of his daughter, Dot, is said to have driven the father 10 suicide, and. sad dened by a love affair, is declared to have been the reason the young wO- man took her life.
 Miss Thomas, who had been diyorc- cd and had regained her maiden name, registered at the noted in Nash vile as "Lucile Bates, Illinois"
 A few months before the doctor killed himself, Miss Thomas married Tom Dilliay. She was en route to Galloway college. at Searcy. when she was married at Little Rock. Her father, 1t is said, objected to this marriage, and it is believed that brooding over it caused him to take his life.
 After living with Dilliay a few months she o0,aiued a divorce. Dil- Hay. who was in the drug business at BoOnyilie. died about a year ago. The court restored to Mrs. Dilliay her maiden name
 About two months ago Miss Thom- as departed late one ar eruOOn and walked from Boonvile Co tEis city eight miles. with the intention of end ing her life in tbe same room of the hotel where her father died. but was prevented by friends and relatives who drove from BoonVille in time to intercept her.

GRAND JURY HAS
 INDICTED DEPUTIES
Texas Case AreuSeS Great h. tereSt and Win Be Hard
 Fought,

SAN ANTONIO, March I2- It is doubtful whether any grand jury indictment in many years has caused as much interest as the one returned by the inQuisitorial body of this coun- ty charging Deputy Sheriffs W. II. Mussey and J. D. Ripper with per- jury, and the case will be one of the hardest fought in the history of Texas jurisprudence. It is attracting wide spread attention because of the prom thence of all parties concerned.
 The eases Of alleged perjury grow simultaneously cut of another inter- esting and important case-that against former Chief of Police win H. Irwin Of this city charging that he killed Edmond Gabriel, a negro. One of the deputy sheriffs indicted. Ripper, is 2 relative of the former police chief
 Irwin does not deny having killed the negro. but claims to have shot him in self defense. There were no eye witnesses to the tragedy. which occurred in a yard in the rear of the home where Gabriel worked. No weapon was found on the body of the dead negro when bystand- CTS reached him within Q few mo mcnts after the sho0ting, nor was there aBy trace of a weapon to be found in the vicinity of the tragedy. Fifteen hours afterwards, Deputy Sheriffs Ripper and Mussey. so they testified on oath later, found a pistol belonging to Gabriel. saying they had discovered the weapon in a chicken house about twenty-five feet from where the negro fen when shot.
 Their testimony was given at the preliminary trial of former Chief IT. win, at which time Jadge -Dwyer of the Thirty-seveBth district court held the defendant in ball of s10.000 and. upon motion of the state. granted a change of venue to another county.
 When Sheriff Lindsey was placed on the stand at the preliminary hear ing. he testified that several hours after the shooting he instructed his l deputies not to make any further in vestization. When Mussey and Nip | per testified they swore that on the | day following the shooting they were in the neighborhood of the tragedy l serving subpoenas. and dropped in" to look over the scene. Mussey tes- tified that he found a pistol in a lit- tie outhouse and his testimony was corToborated bv NipDer. The two dep | uties called the attention of Henry | Morris. negro employed at the1 house. to the fact that they had found the pistol
 Morris testified at the habeas cor Dus hearing that he had been in the outhouse before the two deputies and that he had seen nothing of a re- vOlver
 The grand jury began an investfea-I ton of the testimony given bY Mus i sev and NinDer and their indictment followed. For perjury the Texas statutes provide a penalty of not less than five years nor more than ten years in the penitentiary.
