TROUBLE TO GET JURY.
Special venire Drawn in Archer Muir

After just half of the peremptory
challenges in the Harry Archer muir
der cases had been exhausted today.
Judge Whitcomb adjourned court to
enable the officers to draw a special
Nenire OF "a talesmen- 1t is doubtful
If a jury will be secured until late this
afternoon.
When court adjourned for noon re-
cess, the state had exhausted four OF
its six challenges and the defense still
retained seven of its II privileges.
This leaves nine challenges Of total
of 49, which may be exercised in the
murder case. Several OF the Jurors
were excused today on challenges for
cause and the regular venire was eX-
hausted shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning.
Harry Archer is charged with the
killing of William Murphy, stepfathef
OF Archer's common law wife. Trou-
Bile arose July II, when Murphy and
his wife took exception to Archer's
treatment of the young woman. In
the course of the dispute Archer shot
Murphy with revolver. A verdict
of murder in the first degree is asked,
as it is claimed Archer had formerly
made threats against Murphys life.
The defendants attorneys will plead
self defense and may endeavor to es-
tablish the theory that Murphy's
death was not due directly from the
effects of the shots.

BIG QUAKE IN MEXICO

ance In Twenty Years.
Many Soldiers and Women Perish in
Falling Barracks-No Ameri-
cans Injured.

Mexico City, June Mexico's cap
tal today is a city of sorrow. Build
ings and streets gaily CARRIED in pre-
parations for great rejoicing at the
advent Of Liberator Madero, the city s
people are mourning those who died
in the chaos wrought by the most dis
astrous earthquake that has been ex-
perienced in Mexico in 20 years.
So far the death toll has been estab-
lished as So sonls, but it is believed
that more complete search of the
ruins will increase this number con-
siderably. Seventy-five are known to
be injured and this also probably will
be increased when the full details are
known.
The loss to property is estimated at
$50, 900 gold. No property of Ameri-
cans was damaged.
OF the dead only one person, Chin
ese, is foreigner. More than half
of the dead are soldiers, the worst
effects of the shock being felt in that
section of the city near the Mexican
Central station where also stand the
artillery barracks.
Another place where the earthquake
took its toll of death in considerable
numbers was at the power plant of
the street railway company. Here
six were killed and six wounded. Two
others were found in debris, consist
ing partly of steel rails, which had
been stored in the iron and wood de-
partments, and which collapsed. The
victims are inhabitants of little shacks
built beside the structure.
With these two exceptions, the
death list was made up of single
cases. and in some instances of two or
