FUGITIVE CAUGHT
Near Las Vegas
Special Officer Makes Quick
Moves and Lands his
Prisoner

| G. W. Huffman, who was
caught last night at Sapella
was today bound over to the
grand jury in the sum of $500
on the charge of having inter
fered with all officer ia the
performance of his duty. Huff
man is alleged to have held up
a watchman in the lower
yards. night before last, and
relieved him of his gun.
There are two other charges
which may be pressed against
Huffman, that of assaulting
Ed Morris with a deadly wea-
pom, and one of departing fri m
the city without the formaIily
Of settling his room rent.
Huffman was captured last
night after an exciting chase
in which Sp ciaI Agent Jack
kroh used a light engine to
make the final heat on. Kroh
used freight train from las
Vegas down to Lamy, and
then found that bis man had
got to Cha pelle, so he ordered
nut a light engine and got his
man after a brisk run.
Hutfman's hearing this
morning looked like a conven
tion of Santa Fe special agents
There were three of them in
attendance, as we'll us d dep
uty sheriff. The Santa Fe
men seem to resent the indig-
nifty put upon ono of their
number by Huffman in taking
his gun away from him.
The hoId-up charge was
pressed first because the Santa
Fe furnished transportation to
bring Huffman back to Albu
querque, The other charges
will likely be made the sub
ject of grand jury action

Denver News Sees Good Omen
in recent Smashing of
Machine

The returns from New Mexico
come under the head of GREAT
NEWS. The smashing of the
Republican machine is as fine
as food after famine, soil in the
sand or a bubbing spring in the
desert. Here was a case where
Special Privilege had the people
roped, hog tied and practically
branded. There did not seem a
chance in a thousand that the
popular revolt would win to the
slightest success.
The plutogogues were in abso-
lutte control of the constitutional
convention. The 'f.Lc. 81 ma
chine" rolled over all attempts
at independence and framed a
document that established a vir-
tual oligarchy. Mr.. Taft approv
ed these proceedings with extre-
NEST JUNCTION, and enthusiastical-
ly urged Arizona to adopt a like
Constitution. What Arizona did
to him is now history.
But when Mr.. Taft vetoed the
Arizona constitution, he had also
to veto New Mexico's, for the
two were linked. And when the
dangerous document was re-
turned to the voters of Arizona,
the New Mexico constitution
went back with Senator Owens
provision that the people should
have another chance to vote on
that clause which practically for-
bade amendment. AS conse-
Quence the blue ballot" au-
thorizing such changes in the
Constitution as would make it
easy of amendment was tackled
on to the regular ballot.
The federal machine lined
up solidIy against the blue ballot
and in support of a safe and
sane ticket, All the corpora
tion Democrats fopped over to
them, and money and coercion
were used with the utmost lavish
ness. But the decent Democrats
and decent Republicans fused
they make the people under
Standard the people WON!
Never was anything quite so
encouraging, for if the people
can win in New Mexico they can
win anywhere. Denver News.

Settlers in Semi-arid Country
Should Rely Largely on
Livestock

L nave driven very widely over
the arid plains during the past
year. My early experience in a
new country places me always
in sympathy with those who go
into new lands with the thought
of establishing a home. There
are some things which must be
observed by those who succeed in
what is called the dry sections.
| wish that everyone who reads
this article would be duly i'm
presse, with this Ger ainty.
Many q man will make mis-
take which will be fatal to his
prospects unless he observes
these things.
First, do not invest all Of your
capital in land and then incur
debt for adjoining lands and so
leave yourself without a suffici-
ent amount of ready money to
aid in doing the things which
must be done in order to make
that land sustain expenses and
family living, Second, do not
delay to open up a reasonable
amount Of this land which you
have acquired so as to obtain
from it as soon IS possible a
measure of crop that will help if
it does not fully sustain the eX-
pense of the family for the first
year or so.
Third, one Of the greatest aids
for the sustaining Of the home
will be found in a reasonable
amount of stock which should be
obtained very soon and SO help
pay the running expenses. Let
this stock comprise q few good
COWS. Do not forget the poultry
and add to these two classes of
stock one or more good brood
s0ws. Fourth, without incurring
too much expense proper shelter
can be made for this stock.
There will need to be q little
fencing, This is more readily
obtained today than in che early
days because woven wire is now
comparatively easily obtainable.
Fifth, make every effort that
is needful to keep this stock well
The revenue from them will en-
able one to live upon the land
without incurring debts which
may seriously handicap further
efforts. Sixth, use what lmple-
ment5 are necessary to do the
work upon the land which is
open. Do not, however, open
more land than you can properly
cultivate. Seventh, let the i'll
creased acreage he made grad
ually. 1t is better to thoroughly
cultivate a small number of acres
rather than to have much land
that cannot be fully titled and
that will probably call upon the
settler to furnish expensive i'm
plements which will in turn make
troublesome debts. Eighth. be-

Good Crops to Plant

very large portion OF the berry crop
has always been produced from young
orchard land, We have the reason for
the shortage. which is more than fif-
ty per cent in comparison with rhe

people might think a part of this
shortage was the result of low prices,
but instead, we have had much higher

exception There are many tracts

The black raspberry is one of our
very best fruits raised under irriga-
ton, but until the last four or FIVE

this: First. the red raspberry from

that 1t was not profitable 10 raise the

black varieties which were in bea--

What shall we plant that will show
good profit on our high priced land
in the Canon City district?
OF course, on the new land, If 1t
is adapted to orchard-growing, which
means that it must be we'll drained
and reasonably level, we say plant
apples and cherries. which will at
ways be profitable; but what about
the land that is not so well drained.
and also, what can We do with the
land when the old orchards cease to
show profit?
There are practically no successful
apple orchards in this district whe. e
the water-level is within four feet OF
the surface. but a large PARTON Of
this land that will not grow good or
chard will grow as fine strawberries.
raspberries, currants. and gooseber-
ries as can be grown in the valley.
Now, as to what should be planted
when we grub out the old apple trees: ::
First. the land should be renewed by
growing alfalfa or clover for at least
two years; three is better: then we
may plant any OF the small fruiIs
previously mentioned. and If the lard
has good drainage. we may also plant
cherries. but not apples. on this same
land
The cultivated wild plum has be-
come quite profitable in the last few
years. and We might well give this
worthy fruit more attention. What
kind OF land will this fruit grow on :
This tree will adapt itself to almost
any kind OF soil or condition. 1t will
thrive in wet soil or dry. adobe OF
ligh, sand. and do almost equa..y
we'll: and there are several varieties
which very rarely fail to give a gojd
yield of fruit. A double row OF these
trees on the winward side OF an apple
orchard makes good wind-break.
At the prices small fruits have
commanded in Canon City I'm the last
four or hve years. surely there Is
money in growing them. The straw
berry has no; been as extremely ra,s-
ed here In the last FIVE years as ir
the five years preceding this time. sns
main reason for this being that lh'
orchard trees have grown so large
and shade the ground between ths
rows TO such an extent that 1t is nc
longer profitable to grow berries be
