AQaln BUSY

The Evening Prevaricator used
a column of its space last even
ing in advertising the News, &C.
complishing little more than to
show its ignorance of affairs in
Torrance county. 1t accuses the
News of having asked for pay
for work which it has done. What
an awful crime! Even after hav-
ing waited from 1905 until 1909,
four years for pay for the print
ing done during the first year of
the county's existence, it is an
awful crime to compel the county
commissioners to pay for the
work.
The transcribing of the county
commissioners proceedings which
was necessary after the fire
which destroyed the courthouse
and records last July, should have
been done gratis according to
that famous authority. The law
provides a rate for transcribing
of county records, and at this
rate the transcribing of the COM
missioners proceedings which the
editor Of the News did for $450.00
would have amounted to over
$1,000, for the work of TRANSCRIPT
ing alone. And is not the work
Of saving the files not only of the
News, but of the various county
papers, worth something? These
files are our own private proper

as we are, we have files not only
of the News, but of every paper
published in the county. Imagine
the Herald editor giving the use
of his files gratis, when he is not
satisfied to even bid less than
legal rate for printing.
The News did not make a
price on tw enty-four books of
tax receipts in 1910, nor any

PI6ntU OF
MOlStur6
(By H. B. Hening. Albuquerque,

Wy IL. u. l4ClllIS. AlUuqOCl quC,
N. M.)
Reports of the United States
weather bureau at Santa Fe show
that the month of February just
closed had the heaviest precipi-
tation which has occurred in New
Mexico during that month for
forty years. Practically the
whole of the soon to-be state was
soaked by the downpour of snow
and rain, and with great snow
banks in the mountains and the
country thoroughly soaked, irri-
gators, stockmen and dry farm
ers are happy. The dry farmers,
however, are particularly jubil-
ant. and with good cause. The
past three years have been years
of unusal drouth in New Mexico.
The dry farmers have suffered
severely, and many homestead
ers, unfamiliar with dry farm
ing and but poorly established
on their lands, have been forced
to abandon them temporarily.
With the recent heavy rains,
however, the prospects for the
coming season are very bright.
Many homesteaders who have
been forced to seek a livelihood
off their claims are returning,
and the prospects now are that
the dry farming acreage in New
Mexico in actual cultivation will
be double this season. This in
crease will be due not only to the
favorable weather conditions,
but the fact that the great dry
farming campaign Of education
has had it's effect in the south
west. Not only has the work of
Dry Farming Congress been felt,
but the railroad systems have
placed experts in the field charge
ed with the single duty of teach
ing the newly arrived home
steaders and land buyers from
the rain belt' how to dry farm,
what to dry farm. and when to
10 it. The campaign of education |
IS taking hold, and the industry
n New Mexico is upon more
substantial basis than ever be- !,

Child Identifies Photo Of Arrested Suspect
Criminals Remanded to Penitentiary
for Safe Keeping u

Las Vegas, April l2--The
elimination of the kidnapping
of ffour-year-old Waldo Rogers
came last night at l0:3C
o'clock with the arrest and
confession of Will Rogers, an
uncle Of the child. and Jim
Wiggins, an eX-convict. The
prisoners were charged with
breaking into and stealing
from . dwelling, there being
no law on the New Mexico
statutes against kidnapping.
When arralgned. Rogers hesl
tated quite IL bit and then
pleaded Not Guilty. Wiggins
pleaded guilty to his arraign
ment. Justice D. w. Murray
before whom the prisoners
were arraigned, remanded
them to the penitentiary at
Santa Fe for safe keeping.
Rogers made d written
statement duplicating Wig
gins. Later a second state
ment was made in writing,
sworn to before a notary pub
lie giving the details of the
abduction. Rogers said that
reading red backed novels
was the cause of his downfall.
On the way to the jalls, Rogers
repeated several times the
statement that he must have
been crazy to have planned
and undertaken such a thing.
There being no law in New
Mexico making kidnapping
a crime the charge against the
men is breaking into andst0al
ing from d private dwelling
For this crime the maximum
penalty is twelve years I'M
prisonment in the territorial
peDitentiary. 1t is said that
temporary insanity will be the
defense of the prisoners. Ro-
gers has as yet not secured
counsel.
The $4,000 ransom money

Las Vegas, N. M April II. -
Laying bare the full details of one
of the most daring and sensational
exp otis in the criminal history of
New Mexico, Joe Virgins, an ex-
convict, and John and Will Rogers
uncles Of little Waldo Rogers,
who3was stolen and ransomed for
$12, 900 three weeks ago, made a
clean breast of the crime when
placed under arrest in Las Vegas
this evening.
Wiggins was sent to the peni-
tentiary for ninety-nine years for
murder and pardoned out a few
years ago by Governor Miguel A.
Otero. He acted as the principal
in the crime with the connivance
and assistance of the Rogers boys
who procured the $4,000 from
the Las Vegas bankers in the
name Of Judge Waldo, grand
father of the abducted boy. =
The officers waited until the
trap was entirely perfect before
they sprung it and as result
they have secured one Of the
most remarkable confessions on
record. The men are all three
in Jail closely guarded and every
precaution will be taken for their
safe keeping.
Wiggins was sent up for
committed at San Marcial.
It was at his house that the boy
was held for the twenty-four
hours, the house being only 250
yards from the place where the
boy was found when Will Rogers
went after him in the automobile
and turned over the ransom
All the prisoners were
to a long sweating pro
cess tonight by Captain Of the
Mounted Police Fred Fornof and
other officers and bit by bit the
full story was Wormed out Of
them. The arrest has caused
the biggest sensation for years
in Las Vegas and from every side
the officers are being congratula-
ted on the outcome of their long
and patient investigation. -Albu-

downf I'll and disgrace of one
of their family. and sentiment
in Las Vegas against the man
is bitter. However, many look
at him as a wayward youth,

was induced to join in the
crime by the promises of seve-

booty, with which he intend
