HOLD RAILROAD TO BLAME
Farmers Want Damages for Losses by
Prairie Fires.

New Salem, N. d., March 30.-Farm-
ers residing over a section five miles
in width and thirty miles long have
combined their interests in an effort
to effect a settlement with the North
ern Pacific for the losses they incurred
in prairia fire last week which had
its origin in sparks from passing loco
motives.
The fire, which was a very bad one
and which resulted in one fatality, has
left the farmers In very bad shape.
They are without fodder for their cat
tie and as it will be from six weeks
to two months before the new grass
will grow their predicament is serious.
Many of the farmers have lost their
seed grain, machinery and all of their
hay and in fighting the case out with
the railroad company they will un-
doubtedly stand for full settlement
in all instances.
A meeting of the fire losers has been
called to consider the matter.

Sensational Testimony at New York

New York, March 30.-There is
every indication that William H..
Buckley, Albany agent for the fire in
surance companies, is in for another
period of severe questioning at the
state investigation into legislative con-
ditions.
Not little interest was excited by
conference between Superintendent
Hotchkiss and two officials of life in
surance companies. The meeting gave
rise to speculation as to whether the
inquiry was not to be extended to in
clude the life insurance field
Darwin p. Kingsley, president of the
New York Life Insurance company,
was put on the stand as the first wit
ness of the day. He swore that in
1906 William HI. Buckley, the Albany

six votes at $500 apiece and that he
told Buckley: Il won't give a -

GIRL POISONER
CONFESSES GUILT
Admits Sending Doped Candy
to Another Young Woman

Litchfield, Mimi, March 30.-Miss
Lena Packbarth, aged twenty years, OF
Cedar Mills township has written and
signed confession that she sent poi
soned candy to Miss Minnie Luthens
on Dec. % last, according to County
Attorney Sexton.
Revenge for an alleged wrong done
her by Frank Wurdel, fiance of Miss
Luthens, three and one-half years ago
is the motive the prisoner is alleged to
have given. The confession is said I'd
have been wrung from her after hours
Of close examination by the county at
torney and others.
The girl, according to the confes
sion, entertained no malice toward
Miss Luthens. She sent the candy in
the hope that Wurdel might be ac
cused of the murder Of his fiancee. In
the box was written From Frank W.
This was to have thrown suspicion on
Wurdel.
The arrest of the girl followed the
examination of mail that, it is alleged
she deposited recently in the postof
fee at Hutchinson. Employees Of the
postoffice had been asked to watch for
mail that contained writing similar
to the whiting on the box OF poisoned
candy.
The candy had been prepared o1

in Granada under the direction of the
Madriz government, according to Car
los Chamorro, brother of the lead
ing insurgent general, Emilio Cha
MORO, who has arrived here.
Chamorro declared that a wealthy
plantation owner named Caronel was
recently dragged from his house
whipped to the point of laceratior
and finally killed because of his re

of the Madriz faction. Both men and
women relatives of insurgent leaders

Bribery Charges Proven.

unavaiing.
Albany, N. Y, March 30.--The SEN
ate voted to sustain the bribery
charges against Senator Jotham p.
Aids. The vote was 40 to 8.
Half an hour before his colleagues
were scheduled to begin voting on the
question of whether he took a bribe
while member of the assembly in
April, 1901, Aids resigned from the
senate His resignation, filed with
the secretary of state, gave no rea-
sen.
Before Aids resigned he went to
the financial clerk of the senate and
signed for his salary to date About

passed its verdict sustaining his
charges Conger also would resign.
Aids resignation having been read
In the senate soon after that body
was called to order on motion of Sem

taken. The significance of this action
became apparent when it became
known that a movement was on foot
to adopt compromise resolution de-
claring that the Conger charges had
not been sustained, but that, never
theless, enough evidence had been de-
duced to warrant Aids resignation
Attorney Addresses Legislators.
AS soon as the recess was taken a
conference in which Democrats and
Republicans mingled gathered in the
senate library, where Lewis e. Carr,
one of Aids attorneys, made speech.
Mr.. Van Hoesen of Conger's legal
staff was called in shortly after. The
point was raised that inasmuch as
Aids had resigned there was no long
er any question before the senate and
that a vote on the Conger charges
was unnecessary
The conference finally decided it
was the duty of the committee of the
whole to vote upon the question of
whether or not the charges were sus-
tanned.
When the senate reconvened Sem
ator Cobb, the rajority leader, offered
q resolution that committee of five
senators be appointed by the lieuten-

charges against Conger.

Catanfa, Sicily, March 30.-The

reached their original violence.
Lava which formed at the craters
was expelled with such force that
masses were broken into fragments
and hurled great distances. Explosion
followed explosion in succession and

lava and ashes were showered over a

count of equipment which j. old

vice. Aside from the trouble
and annoyance If operating
plant IN such condition. the ex.
pense has been very heavy.
The plant was in need of re-
pairs aud renewals when IL was
acquired last spring by the pres
ent owners. How to make the
needed repairs and renewals,
without closing down the plant
aud shutting off the city supply
of light and power. was d prob
lem not easy Of solution. Right
recently it has become necessary
to install new boiler without
delay.
The Company made arrange
ments with Mr.. Hawks, general
superintendent Of the FL Paso
and Southwestern Co., for To-
comotive engine to serve as an
auxiliary boiler, while the new
boiler is being installed. Engine
No. l99 was sent out from the FL
Paso yard for this service, arriv-
ing here Saturday night, and
was connected up at the power
house Sunday. Mr.. Hawks is
taking an active, personal inter
est in the matter, and has PROM
ised that the new boiler will he
here by Wednesday afternoon of
this week.
Some little time will be re-
quired to install the new boiler
and get it in readiness for ser
vice. Meanwhile, the old boiler
and the locomotive will furnish
steam for the power and lights.
As soon as the new boiler is put
into commission, the old boiler
will be thoroughly overhauled
and put into first class condition
for service, and then held in re-
serve for emergency use. When
the reserve boiler is ready for
service, Alamogordo will have a
guaranteed light and power SER
vice.
As has been said, the cost of
making this renewal, without
closing down the plant, has been
very heavy. The present con-
sumption of coal is twelve tons
a day, with coal costing s4.5Oa
ton. Under favorable or normal
conditions, the daily consump-
tion of coal should be about four
tons. This heavy expense is be.
ing incurred in order that the
power and light consumer may
have the best service possible.
The owners and the manage
ment of the Company appreciate
the fact that first class service
will greatly benefit and stlmu-
late the growth Of Alamogordo.
They know also that next spring
much additional power will be
required to drive the pumps
which will be lifting water for
irrigation. They are anticipat-
ing and getting ready for that
need. If your light service is
not up to the standard for the
next week or so, bear in mind
that the men who manage the
Company are working night and
day and spending a great deal Of
money to make the service as
good as it is.
