NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL CITY
Items Of Interest Around the State
House
State General Fund Full,

State General Fund Full.
Fer the first time in the history OF
the state. so far as known. the state
treasurer has 100000 in the general
fund ard the state is out or debt. The
state generally had scads Of school
funds on hand and for many years has
had $S.O00.0O0 of such funds invested
in interest bearing securities. but u.s.
ually there Is nothing in the general
fund and often that fund is far be:
hind and school funds are used to
payment. AS fast as general funds
come in they are used in such cases to
take up state warrants that have been
registered to the credit o. the school
fund.
The unusual occurrence Of 100000
ing warrants 10 take up. caused Treas
! urer l.. G. Brian to rake up a law
passed in 1879 which provides that
| when there Is In the hands of the
state treasurer money of the state in
excess OF 100000 he shall in writing
OF the fact and within three days after
such notice is given the governor.
treasurer and auditor shall meet in
solemn COnclave and decide whether
or not the excess funds shall be in
vested in per cent government bonds
or whether or not the money shall be
kept as necessary funds to meet the
current demands upon the state treas
urer. The treasurer served this notice
Wednesday.
The Old statute is considered some
thing of a joke. In the first place there
bonds floating about and in the sec
Ond place the 100000 will soon melt
away in the payment of cui'ant en-
penses of the state government. The
three officers mentioned in the statute
will decide to keep the money in the
treasury to meet demands months
hence. when receipts at the treasury
are light and expenses heavy. X Will
be laid UP against the rainy days that
come in the summer time when little
money is received at the treasury.
The receipts are just now heavy on
account of remittances from county
treaSurers who are required to settle
annually with the state.
The wiping out OF the state debt
which was in the form OF registered
warrants was due to the Sheldon one
mill tax law which was In force sew
eral years. No levy has been made
for this year under that law.

FATAL SHOOT
ING At CLOVIS
Son of Hotel Proprietor Is
Dying From Three Bullets
in His Body
THREATS Of LYNCH|NG MADE
Dramatic Scene Occurred at San
ta Fe Depot as Train
Pulled In.

Clovis, Feb. 1.-As the result of a
fatal shooting at Clovis, Curry coun-
ty, last night, of Benjamin Lyons, son
Of a hotel proprietor, by Frank Le-
teaux, rival depot solicitor, threats
of lynching are made, and the police
are preparing to rush Leteaux out of
town. Friends and relatives of Lyons
are said to be on the way from ANA
RHO On a special train and trouble
is anticipated when they arrive.
The shooting was the result or a
grudge between the two men which
has been in existence for several days
past, which was caused by rivalry in
securing business for their respective
hotels. The shooting occurred at
the Santa Fe station just before the
arrival of the passenger train from
Amarillo. Both men were at the
station as usual, waiting to receive
guests for their houses They had
some words just as the train was pull
ing into the station, and Leteaux, ac-
cording to several bystanders warned
Lyons not to step in front of him in
soliciting for his hotel, making the
remark: ''For if you do, l will knock
hell out of YOU Lyons disregarded
Leteaux's warning and stepped ahead
of him, calling out the name of his
fathers hotel. Leteaux Immediately
pulled his revolver and shot Lyons
in the side at distance of three feet.
The boy fell to the platform and Le-
teauX shot him again while he was
down. Backing off six steps, the por-
ter shot him a third time, inflicting
a fatal wound. Before Leteaux could
shoot again he was arrested by
Santa Fe Officer w. B. Sands and
placed in Jail which is surrounded by
officers tonight as precautionary
measure, threats of lynching being
freely made on the streets. Crowds
gathered in various parts of the down
town district and feeling ran high
against Leteaux, and only the advice
of several prominent citizens prevent
ed the people from taking the law in
their own hands. Lyons was taken
to his home, where an examination
by surgeons revealed that he had been
shot in tie lower bowel, the left lung
and the left arm

SAINT PAUL MINE
is RE-OPENED.
Preparations Made to Explore Work
ings to Bring Up One Hundred
and Sixty Bodies.

Cherry, ILL.,, Feb. 1.-The trap door
of the seal over the main shaft of the
st. Paul mine, where one hundred and
sixty bodies of miners killed in the ex-
plosion and fire of last November are
still buried in the workings, was
broken open this morning. Prepara-
tions were made to explore the mine
and bring the bodies to the surface.
Not woman was present, only a few
idle miners in addition to mechanics
and inspectors being about the tipple.
While inspectors and carpenters
were busy with the superstructure a
young Italian woman stood in the
snow, mute and motionless, two
hours yesterday afternoon leaning on
the iron rail about the main shaft and
gazing tenderly at the cement cap
that has practically covered her hus-
bands tomb for two months.
She does that every day." said
Archie Drew, superintendent of the
mine. "She says nothing to anybody
and finally goes home"
SaWentSfouk posthumous children
have been born in Cherry since the
mine fire broke out on November 10,
thus replacing nearly half the resi-.
dents lost in the fire. The doctors are
having hard work to prevent the
sending away of these children.

ton of Henry w. Taft, brother of the

| an Another party equipped with
oAy gen helmets descended and the
WORK OF rescue was pushed with fran
TIC haste. Volunteers were rushed to
frlmero from all the adjoining camns
and as fast as one rescue party was
exhausted, others eagerly took IN the
WORK. Most OF the miners employed
We're Slavs, Hungarians, and Italians.
But few Americans were among the
missing. The mine was badly wreck.
ed by the explosion and the fire which
followed. The cause of the explosion
was not ascertained, and it may he
days before the last of the bodies was
recovered. The first rescue marty
found No. Z shaft afire and succeeded
IN extlnguishing it. Near the entry
OF shaft No. fourteen bodies were
found in heap, and here in the
midst of pile of dead mules. Donacio
Vergen was found alive, although
badly hurt and his mind wandering.
His survival is one of the most re-.
markable things of the accident. The
nope OF rescuing any of the entombed
miners alive grew dim as the morn
ing wore away and a feeling of hope
lessness settled down on the erouns
OF women shiyering around the mine
shaft.
David Williams, the pit boss, Jack
Ellas and James Rumings are the
Americans included among the known
dead.
Bodies Badly MutiIated.
Up to noon, forty-two bodies have
'oeen recovered, most of them so badly
mutilated and burned that Identified
ton is almost impossible.

BITTER COLD
IN PARIS
1t Adds to the Suffering of
the Hundred Thousand
Refugees
TRAFFIC BEING RESUMED
Prodigal Distribution of Food
Fails to Relieve Entirely
Great Distress.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The Seine fell
steadily today at the rate of three
quarters of an inch an hour More
tramWays are in operation as are also
new sections of the subway. The
streets that had been closed to traf-
tic were in many cases re-opened and
in the heart of the city things re-
sumed more normal appearance.
In the outskirts and inundated re-
gions above and below the city, the
greatest distress still prevailed des-
pite the magnificent efforts toward
relief and the prodigal distribution of
food supplies. Hundreds of persons
were found on the verge of starvation
and thousands who lost everything
must be aided for months. 1t is es-
timated that more than a quarter mil
lion of persons have been affected by
the flood. Freezing temperature adds
to the misery of the unfortunates.
The attempts to resume railroad Serv-
ice before the electric signal system
has been restored have resulted in
dozen train collisions.
Ghouls Are Promptly Killed.

HORTICULTURE MORE PROFIT
ABLE THAN MATRIMONY,
Western Woman Who Says That it
Beats Office, Clerical or Factory
Work.

New York, Feb. 1.-Decrying mat
trlmony as a business venture, but
lauding fruit farming, in which occu
patton she has accumulated a fortune
of $4,000, Mrs. Marion MacRea OF
Hood River, Oregon, who started six
years ago with a capital of $25, is in
this city at the Hotel Astor on a sight
seeing tour.
Farming has Office, factory or store
work beaten all to pieces as a means
OF livelihood for an ambitious wom-
an" declared Mrs. MacRea in a
breezy western style.
THE girl that gets Sc a week in de-
partment stores has mighty little frl-
ture ahead of her, except possibly a
chance to get married." she contin-
ued. L say to all such, back to the
farm, where you can be Independent

What | did in six short years, be-
ginning with only $25, any young
woman of grit and energy can dupli-
cate.
"She doesn't have to be driven into
matrimony either to escape drudgery,
if she will only take courage and look
beyond her nose for opportunities. AS
for me, the fruit farm | consider an
ideal occupation for a woman who
loves outdoor life. Out west things
are different, and a woman seems to
be more on a plane of equality with
man-her so-called superior. And she
makes good, too," asserted the plucky
little fruit farmer.

DISASTER At PR|NERO
Explosion Yesterday Causes the Loss of Many Lives in
Colorado Fuel & Iron Company Camp Near
Trinidad---Four Score Dead

Primero, Colo, Feb. 1.-Seventy
nine is the probable death roll as the
result of an explosion yesterday af
ternoon in the Primero coal mine of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
Up to ten this morning, thirty-one
bodies, most of them terribly torn
and burned, have been brought to the
surface, while according to estimates
of mine officials, made from the num-
Der of missing safety lamps, there
are still forty-eight men, probably all
dead somewhere in the caved-in
workings. The explosion occurred
about 4:30 yesterday. With a terrific
roar, great volume of flame and
smoke belched from the main shaft,
which crumpled in, blocking the en-
trance and wrecking the air fans. Five
men standing near the shaft were
killed. 1t was three hours later be-
fore a rescue party could enter the
mine.

in heaps about the foot of the air

other in frantic struggle for life.
Three bodies were sent up, then the
