Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Feb. IT,
The people of Honduras will never

This declaration made by General
Maxine Rosales, the peace envoy, of
President Davila, does not give much
promise of an early settlement of the
revolution, as General Bonilla is de
termined to resume fighting if the
presidency is not turned over to him.
Rosales says If Bonilla will sacrifice
his personal ambition and agree to
the selection of a third man for the

the revolution can be settled in few

Already the revolutionary troops un-

M'NABB CONVICTED;
PENALTY is HANGING
VERDICT IN THE SANTA ROSA
MURDER CASE A COMPLETE
SURPRISE

Santa Rosa, N. M, Feb. 17.-Short-
ly before IL o'clock last night, jury
in the district court returned a YER
dict OF murder in the first degree
against E. G. McNabb. charged with
shooting and killing H. H. Hargis at
Vaughn, N. NJ, October 13, last, fol-
lowing gossip which connected the
names Of Hargss and Mrs. McNabb.
McNabb received the verdict with
evident nervousness. The penalty is
hanging.
The case, which had attracted un-
usual interest here, because of the
sensational features and the promi-
nence of the principals, had been on
trial before Judge Edward r. Wright
and was given to the jury yesterday
evening, shortly before 6 O'Clock.
Emotional insanity, resulting from
the alleged wrecking of his home,
was the general plea of McNabb.
A pathetic scene marked the con-
clusion of the trial. when the prison
er was placed on the stand in his
own defense and told of the killing.
After he had recited the story of the
affair." his little daughter suddenly
entered the court room, walked past
the bailiffs and threw her arms about
her father.

SWIFT PUNISHMENT
FOR MURDERERS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WARDS
VIGOROUS PROSECUTIONS
HAVE REDUCED CRIME

San Miguel and Mora counties will
have nothing to be ashamed of when
the report of the number of murders
committed in the Fourth judicial dis
trict during the last five years is
submitted to Attorney General Frank
w. Clancy. While thirty-nine murders
were called to the attention of the
courts of the district in that time,
District Attorney Charles w. G. Ward
calls attention to the fact that San
Miguel and Mora counties have shown
eight convictions for murder, one ac-
quittal and one case pending during
the past four years. This out of a
possible total of ten. One of the
cases, that of Augustin Harmon, in
which a conviction was obtained, was
tried in San Miguel county on a
change of venue.
Mr.. Ward says this condition re-
fleets great credit upon the sheriffs
of San Miguel and Mora counties for
their eficient work in arresting MUIR
derers and securing evidence. It also
shows that serious crimes committed
in this part of the district are
promptly punished.
In the murder case of Juan Barros,
having been killed in this county,
Carlos Lucero has been indicted. His
case is pending. The murder was COM
mitted some time ago.

siderable apprehension among cattl,
and sheep men, farmers, fruit raiserl
ana others who depend upon a gen
erous winter downpour Although New
Mexico has often had long periods
of rainless days during the winter
this year the winter rainfall has been
below the average.
Although no loss has resulted from
the long drouth, much apprehension
had been caused because of con-
tinued dryness. Rain was much need
ed by the cattlemen as the grass on
the ranges and in the pastures had
suffered from the drouth. The dry
farmers also were anxious for rain
in order that they could do their win
ter plowing. This method of con-
serving moisture during the winter
months is extensively employed on
the mesa and. the farmers have been
sitting around whiting and watch
ing the sky, knowing there was no
need of plowing unless rain or snow
fell. AS soon as the storm is over,
however, the mesa farms will take
on great activity and their owners
will be plowing late and early. 1t
will be learned here with pleasure
that the rain storm on the mesa
was much heavier than that in Las
Vegas.
The storm worked its way into
New Mexico from Colorado, where it
prevailed yesterday afternoon and
asst night. Snow fell in the mountains
and the storm crept down
into the plains as night came on. In.
lications are that the snow will con-
inue into tonight, as the weather
orecast is for continued snow and
