AWFUL CRIME At ELECTRA
All the Country East Of the OkIawaha
Outraged by the Want0n Murder of
Mr. and Mrs. Higgins

Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Gallo
way received a message from Electra
that Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Higgins, a re-
spected couple, had been murdered at
their home, and left at once for the
scene of the tragedy. He returned last
night and gave out the information
that the unfortunate couple, who were
last seen alive by their neighbors Mon
day evening, were evidently killed
Monday night.
Mr.. Higgins was shot in the heart
with a load of buckshot. Mrs Higgins
was shot in the back, the load pene-
trating the right lung. Both must
have died Immediately.
Mr. Galloway had not been able TO
discover any clues to the identity of
the assassin or assassins. The heavy
ain Tuesday had obliterated all tracks.
Robbery was evidently the motive for
the crime.
Mr.. Galloway left again this morning
for Electra, and will spare no effort tc
discover the criminal
Mr.. Higgins was an old settler. He
had been at Electra quarter of a CEN
tury.. He was about eighty years old
His wife was of middle age.
The entire country east of the Ok
lawaha is greatly excited and armed
men are hunting everywhere for trace:

The Famous Faster is Willing to be
Hung to Save Mother With
Five Children

Los Angeles, Cal, June 29.-Dr. II. s.
Tanner, of this city, 81 years old, "the
original forty-day faster" has offered
himself as substitute for Mrs. Ange-
limo Napolitano, who is under sentence
of death at Sault Ste. Marie. His of
fer follows:
ITO the Hon. Earl Grey, Governor
General of Canada, Ottawa, Canada:
Dear Sir: On August 8, of this year,
there is scheduled to be hanged in
Sault Ste. Marie prison one Mrs. Ange-
limo Napolitdno, sentenced to die be-
cause she killed her husband to protect
her honor.
Her death will leave four children,
now living, motherless. 1t will also
orphan a month babe, yet to be
born.
Her execution will be nothing short
of murder-the foulest blot on the
criminal annals of yours any other
country.
Permit me to offer myself a sub
stitute for Mrs. Napolitano. May my
life be taken that the law may be ap-
peased without robbing five children
one a month-o old babe, of a mother.
Awaiting instructions from your
honor, / remain, yours very truly,

IMMENSE INCREASE IN EXPORTS

new record in the foreign COM
merce of the United States, surprising
that Of any year in business history,
was made during the eleven months of
the fiscal year ending with May. Dur
ing this period the imports and exports
of the United States as compiled by the
bureau of statistics, amounted to $3,-
312,2S3,5 SOC, which exceeds the record
year of 1908 by almost s3,000,00O. The
balance of trade in favor of American
business men from their foreign Gus
toners amounts to $501, ,525,502 for the
eleven months. 1t is doubtful if the
abalance of trade at the end of the
fiscal year will equal that of the pre-
vious record made in 1908, which was
St66,431,5 ,544. The imports for May were
$130,S24,241, and the exports S15S,169,-
695. The imports for the eleven months
were LAOS, ,429,002 and the exports ST.

ANDREW RUPLE MAKES
COMPLETE CONFESSION

Andrew Ruple has broken down and
made full and complete confession
of his part in the heinous crime of
shooting Ike Cox, while the latter was
walking in company with Undersher-
iff Sease, on the night of June 5, on
Tenth street in the city of Durango.
The story he tells is that of n mis-
guided youth, who, enticed by older
heads, and the love for good looking
young woman, who herself is but the
tool of the hardened wretches, who
laid the plan for the assassination of
Cox in order to prevent him from ap-
pearing in court and sending the en-
tire outfit to the penitentiary.
His confession is said to be so full,
and so well backed up by circumstan-
tial evidence, that il can result only
in the conviction of the guilty parties.
II is written confession covering
some six or seven pages of closely
written manuscript and signed by Ru-
pie on each and every page.
In this confession il is said that he
swears that he was hired to do the
shooting of Cox by the TRULY boys
and Charles Carter. His reward was

before death relieved her suffering.
Saturday afternoon Otto Phillips,

Besides the husband of the deceased
and four children, there are left to

The country editors job is not writ

little about the aforesaid career. The
average man believes that all the ed

his note book, jot down few person.
ais, write up a batch of desultory
thoughts on large affairs, go to press
and milk down the receipts.
The truth is different. The coun-
try editor has to make much of the
news he writes. The commercial
club, the church, the baseball team,
the college, the law and order league,
the county central committee, the
whist club, and the good roads move
ment all must feel the influence OF
his guiding hand. He must be in
everything and run errands for every
one, pass the paper, get the hall, hire
the band, send out circulars, deliver
the address of welcome, do the town
lying for harmony's sake and hold the
sack. He must be guide, philosopher
and friend to those in trouble, and be
mentor and admonisher to those who
are about to get into trouble. The
preacher, the town drunkard, the So
cial climber, the statesman, the real
estate boomer, the man from the
grand lodge who is about to exemplify
the new work, the prompter, the brok-
en- soldier kindly babe to stay, the
captain OF industry and the girl with
a fatherless baby, all come to him to
help them in their troubles. He is the
town confessor, the town boomer and
the town goat, doormat, rock Of ref
uge, errand boy and vicarious sacrifice
the editor is the only creature in all
the wide animal kingdom that needs
the wings of dove, the strength of
lion, the protective odor of the
skunk, the smooth, crawling belly of
a worm of the dust, and the aspira-
tions of god.

create disease germs, they only carry
them after they have been left, by
careless people, where the flies can
wailow in thin. II everyone was care
full to keep their premises clean and
