Albert e. Vieg, who is interested in
the Wicks Gulch Mine and who man
aged the property until last spring,
arrived in town to inspect the new
workings. He will stay several days.
According to Mr.. Vieg. who is an ex-
pert mining engineer. cross-eut
driven from the 375 weet level has
proceeded for 81 feet without striking
the wall and that for the entire dis
tance the vein matter averages Sill
ton. This proves that the ore de-
posits in this camp increase in size
and value with depth, as the vein mat
ter on the surface is not continuous
but broken up with "horses" between
which only stringers of ore are being
found.

Hillsboro. n NJ, Dec. "A range
war Of some proportions is threaten
ed in this county for the first time
in many years. Certain sheep owners
from Lake Valley in the south and
Monticello in the north, have moved
their large flocks, estimated at TO-
900 head into the foothills of the
Black Range along the Seco, Animas
and Salada creeks. where there Is ex-
cellent feed. and they are eating resi-
dent cattle, goat and sheep men out
Of their winter reserve. While the
ranchers along those creeks realize
that they have no legal rights to
that part or any other part of govern
ment range, yet they feel aggrieved,
and retaliation is being talked or.
Most of the running water and the
water holes are on patented lands,
some of them belonging to one of the
large cattle companies and the owners
have warned the sheep herders not to
water their fiocks on these patented
lands. In order 60 make the warning
more effective men with Winchesters
have been stationed on some of the
ranches and II the strangers should
show any inclination not 10 heed the

Acquitted by Jury IN Circuit Court of
Charge of Deliberately Taking
Life of Peter DeGols.

DeGols had forced the quarrel and had
suffered death as the result of an at
tack upon Halves.
George Fisher, who claimed to have
seen the affray from a room over the
Buffalo saloon, will be arrested on a
charge of being an inmate of a house
of i'll fame. Fisher admitted on the
stand that he was such an inmate, and
that he was in the company of a wo-
man at the time States Attorney Ma
gill accordingly filed information
against him in the county court and
also against Fred Martens, proprietor
of the Buffalo.
Claim Evidence Manufactured.
The states attorney expressed aston
ishment at the verdict brought in free
ing Halves, as it was felt that the testi-
mony produced by the defense could
not find much favor with the jurors.
States Attorney Magill fully expected
to win the case, and he had asked that
the death penalty be imposed. He told
the jury in his final argument that 1t
was apparent to him that George Fish
er and Henry Sylvester, witnesses for
the defense, had been paid to give tes-
timony, and that their having kept
silent until few days before the trial
was pretty good proof of this. The
states attorney was also greatly in
censed at the way Tillman and Banks,
star witnesses for the state. changed

HAYES FREED OF
MURDER CHARGE
Circuit Court Jury Acquits the
Slayer Of Peter De Coils
Last Evening.
VERDICT IN TWO HOURS
State Disappointed, Alleging Manu-
featured Evidence-No Surprise
to Defendants Attorneys.

The circuit court jury which heard
the evidence in the John w. Halves
murder case brought in verdict at
$3.50 last night acquiting the prisoner
OK the charge against him and setting
him absolutely free. The jury was out
less than two hours, the court having
finished instructions at 4:30, after
which the jurymen retired for delibera-
ton. Halves was present when the
jury brought in its finding, and he was
calm and self-possessed. After hearing
the words which set him free he thank
ed the jurors, and soon afterwards left
the court house, a free man for the
first time since the shooting Sept. 10,
1909
History of Case.
Halves was charged with numbering
Peter DeGols. a porter in saloon on
Twenty-fourth street and Fourth ave-
nue.. Bad blood had existed between
the two men for some time, according
to the testimony offered by the defense,
and it eliminated on the night of Sept.
10. This night Halves and his step
son, Alfred Banks, quarreled, and De-
Coils took the side of the step-son. De-
Coils and Halves had angry words with
each other. Later on, shortly after
midnight, DeGols and Halves met on
Twenty-fourth street between Third
and Fourth avenues, and DeGols was
shot and killed. Halves claimed that
he had fired in self defense, while the
state claimed that Halves had sum-
moned DeGols across the street and
then killed him in cold blood. Halves
ran away after the shooting, but the
police soon found him and arrested
him. He remained in the county Jail
for five months before getting out on
bonds of $4,000. The usual practice of
allowing an alleged murderer to get
out on bonds was followed because of
the uncertainty in which the courts
stood at the time, due to the reverse
ruling on the legality of the parole law. |
Had he been tried right away the court
would not have known how to sentence |
the man had he been found guilty.

JUNE HOT and DRY
This Superfiuous Information Is
Elaborated Upon by the
Statistics.
NONE WARMER SINCE 1901
Scarcity of Rainfall Equaled Only
Once in 80 Years and That
Was in 1886.

Coming during this sweltering heat
the information from Observer Sher-
Ter of the local weather station that
June was the hottest since 1901 and
the dryest since 1886 is of general
interest. Further than this a maxi
mum record for the month was set
when SO degrees was attained on the
30th.
The average temperature last
month was 72, which is two degrees
above the normal for the last 81
years. The lowest temperature was
43 on the I'd, which is within four
degrees of the minimum for the
month in SO years. The precipita-
ton was but 81 inches for what is
ordinarily wet month, the deficiency
being 800 inches. Altogether there
is temperature excess accumulated
since Jan. of 3.07, or an average Of
1T per day. and a deficiency in rain
fall of 5.67 inches, which leads the
wise ones to fear that there will be
some mighty wet weather yet before
the year is ended. The June of
1886 is the only one in 80 years that
has brought as little rainfall as last
month.
Twenty Clear Days.
Last month there were 20 clear
days, 6 partly cloudy, and 4 cloudy,
a remarkable record. The general di-
rection of the wind was from the
east, with the average velocity of SIS
miles per hour. There we're thun-
derstorms on the 4th, 18th and Goth,
only.

City Chat
IN REMEMBRANCE.

Sit closer, friends. around the board!
Death grants us yet little time.
Now let the cheering cup be poured,
And welcome sond and jest and
rhyme,
Enjoy the gifts that fortune sends,
Sit closer, friends!
And yet, we pause. With trembling lip
We strive the fitting phrase to
make;
Remembering our fellowship,
Lamenting Destiny's mistake
We marvel much when Fate offends,
And claims our friends.
Companion of our nights of mirthI
Where all were merry who were
wise!
Does Death quite understand your
worth,
And know the value of his prize?
1 doubt me If he comprehends-
He knows no friends.
And in that realm is there no Joy
OF comrades and the jocund sense?
Can death so utterly destroy
For gladness grant no recompense?
And can it be that laughter ends
With absent friends
o scholars whom we wisest call,
Who solve great questions at your
ease,
We ask the simplest of them all
And yet you can not answer these?
And is it thus your knowledge sends,
To comfort friends?
Dear Omar, should you chance to meet
Our brother somewhere in the
gloom,
Pray give to him a message sweet,
From brothers in the tavern room,
He will not ask who tits that sends,
For we were friends.
Again. a parting sail we see;
Another boat has left the shore.
A kinder soul en- board has she
Than ever left the land before
And as her outward course she bends,
Sit closer, friends

Hint For School DAYS.

"Don't let the children carry heavy
books to and from school," is the ad-
vice of a physician who has had much
experience in the children's hospitals.
A mother testifes that she believes
the heavy bag of books which her
daughter carried to school every day
had much to do with her nervous
breakdown. The habit tends to make
one shoulder higher than the other,
to lengthen the arm or enlarge the
hand disproportionately. When "home
work" cannot be avoided let the child
have one book at school and another
copy at home. 1t will pay. Or, If that
Is not possible. at least do not let
him carry his books always on the
same arm OF slung over the same
shoulder.
