NO IDEA OF CUTTING
LIGHTS, SAYS GllLENWATER.

A report has been on the streets to
the effect that the Roswell Electric
Light Company is to cut of the street
lights in Roswell because the city
has not paid in full tine back account
which the light company held against
the city and assigned to the First Ma
tional Bank of Albuquerque. On this
subject w. H. Ginenwater. proprietor
Of the light company. this morning
said:
'tSince the light company assigned
The account to the bank, several
months ago. the city has been paying
its lignt bill promptly. and our rela-
tions with the city are satisfactory.
We have had and still have no tho't
Of shutting on the light.
AS to the situation on the old light
bill. Mr. Gilleawater stated that the
account was originally $3.50 and that
il was assigned by the light company
to the Albuquerque bank last winter
with the understanding that a sub
stantial payment on 1t would be made
by the city in January and that all
of 1t would be paid by April l. This
understanding was made, Mr.. Gillen-
water says, upon promises of the city
of Roswell to make such payments
at such times. In January the substan-
tial payment, $4,000, was made, ac-
cording to agreement. leaving $3,05s
due, but the rest was aot paid by
April /, whereupon the Albuquerque
bank telegraphed the city that 1t must
be paid and tnat no further extension
Of time woalo be granted. The old
city council then paid $1,000. cutting
the account to $2.O56. which is yet
due.
The bank may bring suit for this
amount before the city can get In
shape to pay it: and 1t rray not. The
city is responsible for it. of course.
and hack OF the city, the light COM
pany is responsible to the bank for
the amount No serious trouble is an
ticipated. At least, there is no dan
ger of the street lights being shut off
ON account of this bill.

fashion was so prevalent that. accord

A Sensational Prophet.

One Of the most sensational Of
prophets was Rosa negro named
Umhlakasa, who did his prophesying
In British Kaffraria, Africa, in 1861.
His niece had met some mysterious
strangers near stream, and Umhla-
kasa, having gone to see them, report
ed that they were the spirits Of his
dead brother and others. They COM
municated prophecy which rapidly
grew. On an appointed day In 1857
two blood red suns were to rise. the
sky would fall and crush the Fingos
and the whites, herds Of splendid cat
tie would issue from the ground, great
fields Of ripe millet would spring up,
the Rosa dead would rise and live
with their descendants, and trouble
and sickness should be no more. I'm
happily there was q condition-the
Kosas must slaughter all their existing
cattle. And so 100000 cattle, the
wealth and sustenance of the people,
were killed, and probably $4,000 cred
ulous natives starved themselves to
death
