schools Rugby team took a try at the
St Mary's college squad this afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock on the college field and
went down to defeat by a score of 9
TO 0. All the scoring was done in the
first half, apparently before the high
school boys were warmed up.
The second half saw no change in
the score, but 1t showed the prep
school backs to better advantage. In
this half Captain Calderwood and Hol-
den in the back field and Leeds in the
front rank began to to speed up notice
ably, the result being several dashes
down the field for big gains. Hamiin
at full came though with several kicks
in this half that saved his mates pos
sible trouble. Stroud and Hermley both
played fast. consistent ball throughout
the struggle.
The first half opened with st. Mary's
rushing the ball down to within 10
yards Of their goal line, where Hughes
grabbed 1T and while on the run drop
kicked 1t over the bar. Some called 1T
a fiuke, accompanied by an overly cor
pulent portion of luck, but the boot
fulfilled the requirements and went
for four points
The speed of Starrett made his work
noticeable over the other college back
field.
Friday at $3.50 O'Clock a return prac-
tice game with st. Mary's college on
the ST. Mary's college field will be
played.

POLITICAL RUMBLINGS

In violation of the anti-nePOtism act,
which prohibits officials of this state
from appointing relatives to office, as
well as in violation &c The law fixing
the number of deputies which may be
appointed by the sheriff Of a county.
sheriff Han gave his son, r n Hall,
a deputy sheriff's commission. This
matter having been commented upon
10y the press of the city, sheriff Hall
revoked his sons commission on July
49, If the appointment of his son
to the office of deputy, sheriff was
wrong on July 19, it wax wrong in the
first place. But sheriff Halls revoca-
tiCn of the commission lin question is
not TO be misunderstood as a tardy
rectification of an official wrong, for
he forthwith had his son commissioned
a a deputy constable. Now, the Ques-
tion is. why should the sheriffs son b.
commissioned 10 carry a pistol al all?
Is the sheriff's son any more entitled
L special favOrs than any other mars
son? The voters of Ell Paso county will
undoubtedly resent this six-shooter bus-'
iness al the polls on Saturday.
Can any fair minded citizen defend
in his own judgment and conscience,
the appointment by sheriff Hall Of
1s7 deputies, among whom are men Of
respoGsikle character and of bad
reputation for peace and quietude? Will
any law abiding citizen submit without
protest to the arming of men, by official
Authority of the sheriff whose only ex-
Cusc for wanting 10 carry six-shooter
is that they are bartenders, bin coll
lectorS or eX-policemen2 Or that some
Of these deputy sheriffs are prominent
citizens and want TO evade jury serv-
ise2
Not content with the III deputies al
ready appointed by sheriff Hall, it Is
now said that he is now getting ready
To appoint 500 more able-bodied six
shooter deputies for election day pur-
poses, and that he is getting ready to
claim everything in sight and then
--hoiier fraud"
Sheriff Hall begs the question
when he refers to the fact that some
of the county officials have been
away on summer vacations There l.
no defence TO the charge that sheriff
Hall does not run his own office. The
fact remains that he does not run il,
whether he is in town or out of town,
and that his office would run without
him just as well as it rms with him.
Sheriff Hall has never performed any
official act save that of appointing
deputies and drawing his salary.
Sheriff Hall announced some time
ago that he had Cancelled the commits
sion of Wade Thomas. tfa negro sa-
loon keeper. It appears. however, that
the commission has not been Cancelled.

UPLIFTING TIE INDIAN BY
CUTTING OFF HIS RATIONS

Washington. d. c, July 22.-In pur-
suance of its plan to raise the indian
to the plane of independence occupied
by his compeers Of other races, the bu-
reau of indian affairs will materially
decrease the rations to be distributed
among the red men this year
This year the rations, IL Is expected,
will be confined largely to aged and
INDECENT indians
The indian bureau believes that in de-
creasing the rations so far as possible it
is lending a helping hand to the indian
in his combat for self support. The goal
which the officials see in the not distant
future is total abolition OF these graf
uities.
Last year a7.S6s indians received ra-
tions at a cost of s412,142 This cost,
it is expected, will be decreased by s2S,-

him, the Judge is then to ask him if
he wishes to vote the Alderete ticket.
If the voter says yes, then the pre-
siding Judge is to mark the entire ticket
