ROrdigOs Bound
Over For Grand Jury

Ensendo Rodrigos, the Mexican
who was held for the murder Of j.
M. Ariosto in east Ration on last
Saturday night. was iaken before
Justice J. A. Vigil yesterday and
bound over without bail for a hear
ing before the grand jury that con.
yenes in September. The cause
for the trouble which led to the
killing Of Ariosto Is attributed q
Rodrigos' resentment at Ariostc
ohamplioning the part OF a young
woman who had refused to dance
with Rodrigos. From all the evi.
dence that can be gathered, the
anger precipitated by the above In
reference was the only immed-
late cause cause Tor the murder
Gus attack. Rodrigos is a native
OF old Mexico and has been a resi-
dent Ration for the past four years
where he has followed a happy-go'
lucky existence, fiddling for dances
and doing an occasional piece o.
work. When discovered by the
officers shortly after the murder
he was in the hands OF seVera
Of the friends OF the murdered mar
undergoing a severe beating. Wher
rescued, he was following ho
on the trail OF his victim and woult
have perhaps come near meeting
the same fate If not for the in
reference. His condition at pre-
sent, while not dangerous, is ser
ious one. Phoenix Sandoval, who
was arrested with him at the same
time as an accessory TO the crime
and who was alleged to have fur
nished the knife that did the blood
Ily work, was released this morn
ing.

c. & S. TRAIN DITCH
Ed IN WASHOUT

The Colorado and Southern train
No. from Denver ran into wash
out on the Friiole arroyo, II miles
south OF Trinidad, last night and
was badly wrecked. The engine
and baggage car went down with
the weakened bridge, causing the
drowning OF Engineer William
Kerchgrabber and three tramps
riding on the blind baggage. The
fireman escaped with minor iniur-
les. The train was running at a
moderate speed at the time Of the
accident and was wholly unwarned
OF the danger into which it plung-
ed. A cloudburst in the noun
tains above the scene OF the dis
asteT was the cause for the weak
ening OF the bridge structure. En-
gineer Kerchgrabber was formerly
engineer on the Santa Fe, running
outof Ration, where he resided un-

The board OF directors of the
Ration National bank met on July
I2th and voted to turn over its
business to the National bank Of
New Mexico as soon as certain
steps are taken in conformity with
the requirements of the comptrol-

time the Ration National bank will
keep open as usual for the trans
action OF business and the Off

friends and customers call that
the transaction may be made per-
iectly clear to them.

1t is to Follow Pueblo Style Of
Architecture and WiII be Con-
structed Around a Patio

Perhaps one Of the oldest dwell
lings in America, especially for a
millionaire to use as a permanent
home, will be a magnificent struc-
ture upon which work has already
started near Cimarron, and will be
exact duplicate OF an old Indian
Pueblo.
The owner of this unique resi-
denee will be George II. Webster,
Jr., owner OF the famous Uraeca
ranch, comprising about 10000
acres Of New Mexico land, upon
which he is to build his home.
Fred E. Mountioy, OF the firm
Of Mountioy & French, Denver. is
consulting architect. Ii is intend
ed by the architect to have the
residence ready for occupancy
some time this fall. The residence
will be situated at the mouth OF a
3ugged canon with a broad and roll
ling mesa sloping gently away in
the foreground.
The exterior OF the building will
resemble perfectly the quaint In
dian pueblos. The foundation
will be built OF stone, the walls o.
the finest adobe and the timbered
root will have a heavy coating o.
adobe, giving the structure the
appearance of having been bull
altogether OF this material.
The rooms are to be arranged
around a patio fifty by sixty feel
which will have a beautiful foun
tain in the center and also a park

Will Collect Road Tax.

Fred Lambert will begin collect
ing the road tax for this precinct in
short time, or as soon as be can
get the receipts. The money COL
lected inside the village limits will
he applied towards working the
streets and fixing crossings. All
money collected outside the village
limits will be applied on the roads
outside ol town. Every tax payer
should pay his road tax at once,
by so doing the streets and eros
sings can be put in a great deal
better condition than they are now.
The tax is s. 90, and can be paid
either in work or cash. Mr.. Lam
bert will get the use of a road
grader for the streets and roads
and will need men and teams. He
will have charge Of the work per-
sonally, having been appointed
road supervisor for this precinct.

querque, that it takes a lot of
money and lot OF united effort to
to get it all before the country.
We have been very much interest
ed in the activity OF the various
New Mexico communities in ad-
vertising their resources Justify"
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the Resources Day Con-
ference will be a luncheon served
by the people OF Mountainair to
the members of Conference. This
luncheon will he served out of doors
and the menu will consist entirelyof
products grown Immediately around
the Chautauqua town where the
crops are usually good.

Wall street is recovering from
its fright about the crops, and 1t
begins to think that there will he a
big Weld, after all. When the
government, lew days ago, made
its report stocks dropped, because
there seemed TO be an indication
that some OF the important cereals
would fall off, as compared with
1910. Corn, the greatest OF all
crops, will probably be a some
what smaller yield than last year
1t must be remembered, how
ever, that last year it passed taI
above the 5000, 900, ooo-busheI
mark, and left all the records far
behind. Based on the acreage
and condition given out by the gov
ernment a yield OF 2,956, 900 ,ooc
bushels is indicated for 1911, oI
greater than that OF 1905, which
was the biggest crop ever gathered
except in 1910.
The indicatios for wheat are tina
a larger crop will be harvested
than we had in 1910, or 7o2, 900,
ooo bushels this year, as compared
with 6o5, 600, ooo last year. Oat
will be a somewhat smaller croI
this year than that OF twelv
months ago. Apparently the sam
will be true of hay and OF one o
two other important products. Tn

states since the government mad

way. The cloister around the
patio and the terrace in front are
to be terraced. All entrances to
the rooms will be from the patio.
According TO the style Of the old
Indian pueblo, the rooms will have
ceilings OF different heights, thus
giving a sloping effect to the build
ing. The interior of the residence
is to be sttictly modern. The
woodwork will be rough hewn and
stained and hreplaces are to be in
stalled in all rooms, twenty in
number. The exterior Of the
structure will be plasterd with ter.
ra blanca, a white mud.
Mr.. Webster will have a fully
equipped electric light plant and .
water system which will afford al
modern conveniences to be desired
The residence will cost SIoo, ooC
and will cover a tract OF 100 By
I25feet IN area.
1t is the intention OF Mr.. Web.
ster ultimately to establish colony
of friends around him with al
theirhomes built in a similar lash
ion.
The architect, Mr.. Mountioy Is
of the opinion that when the struc.
ture is completed it will be one

CROPS
ARE ASSURED

oats and corn there is a chance
still that the crops will make a
better showing than they did in
1910, and that year saw a greater
cereal yield in the aggregate than
had ever previously been harvest
ed.
Usually at this time OF the year
there is a crop scare, but only sell
dom does the harvest show any
serious falling off. The greatest
failure OF crops which anybody re-
calls was that which took place in
1881, when the drouth and heat
continued longer than they are
likely to do this year, and when
wheat made a steep drop in
yield. Cotton is the only import
ant crop which seems not to have
been injured by the dry spell. The
outlook is still that il will go iaI
above the "A, 900, ,ooo-bale mark,
or be at least 500, 600 bales in ex-
cess OF the largest crop ever gath.
cred in the past. For many years
in succession Secretary Wilson, il
his annual report, issued in De
cember, has noted a steady in.
crease in the aggregate value o
all the farm products. The figure
for 1910 was approximately So.
600, 900, 900, or more than nin'
times as great as the amount OF th'
national governments interes
bearing debt. From present in
dications 1911 will not interrnp

languishing in the San Miguel
county Jail, last night used a
six-shooteT with such good effect
that Modesto Martinez is lying at
the point OF death in q Las Vegas
hospital with bullet through his
lung and every promise OF going
over the great divide. The shoot
ing occurred at midnight last night
and was the result of a family
quarrel.
According to an eye witness the

band assaulted her on the street
and Chavez interfered. When
Martinez made a menaoing move,
