RESENT CRITICISM
OF CITY'S STATUES
Eberhardt Says Washing gton
Will Resemble Cemetery.

Robert G. Eberhardt, the French sculp-
tor. who said that II Washington con-
tinued to erect statues to great men the
city would soon look like cemetery.
touched tender spot in the hearts OF
many Of the city's prominent architects
and civic workers. They said yesterday
that II such were the case It would be
the most beautiful cemetery in the
world.
Commissioner Rudolph was especially
vexed at the unjust criticism, and said
that, although he was neither an artist
nor sculptor, 1t was his opinion that a
statue adds materially to the beauty oc
park or reservation.
Commissioner Johnston vented his dis
pleasure at the statement Of the sculptor
by saying that, If quoted correctly in the
press dispatches, the French critic was
alone in his opinion, as many of the fore
most artists of this country and foreign
countries who have visited this CITY to
work on statue or to study the artistic
lines of the statues were of the opinion
that these were one of the city's best
assets.

Maddox consulted with Mayor
Shank about getting part of the
two carloads of potatoes the mayor
will bring to the city within the next
few days to sell at cost. The mayor
said it was possible he would be able
to let the association have about half
a carload of potatoes at 10 cents a
bushel.
The mayor has orders for car and
half, and has the money collected
in advance of consumers. He has tele-
graped to several points in Michigan
to get prices on the potatoes, and he
said he epected to have them here the
latter part of this week or early next
week.
The mayor has figured that he lost
s18, besides the expense of sending
N. R. Adkins to Michigan and Min
nesota, on the carload Of potatoes he
sold in market Saturday. This loss
it is believed, was due to the careless
manner of handling fne potatoes.-

Indications, politically, point to des-

The substantial and progressive
wing of the Republican party in
northern New Mexico are up in arms
against the action of the Las Vegas
convention and openly declare that
they will never support Burson.
From surface indications enc might
predict landslide from the old and
corrupt political boss rule to modern,

Burson will have barrels of Doodle be-

Exhibitors were busy all day ar

BITTEN BY A ARATTLESNAKE
AFTER 1T WAS SHOT IN TWO

Bitten by rattlesnake that had
been shot in two and carried sixteen
miles to doctor before the wound
could be attended to, was the expert
ence Sunday of Paul Frank, a helper
for the Pueblo Electric company, who
lives at 4OS West First street. The
young man, however, is now on fair
way to recovery, the prompt methods
taken by his companion, John Wright,
undoubtedly saving his life.
Frank and Wright went hunting
rabbits Sunday, driving about sixteen
miles out of town, to the Chico basin.
They had been hunting but short
time when Wright spied rattlesnalie
and fired both barrels Of his gun at
it. The snake, however, dived down
hole and Wright though it had got
away.
Frank, to whom rattlers were a
novelty, investigated and saw the rat
tiers severed from the body lying in
the entrance to a hole. Thoughtlessly
he reached in his hand to get them
and Immediately the snake sprang at
him, burying its fangs in his finger.
Wright tied tourniquet about the
finger and another about the wrist,
and then started to town as fast as
he could drive. On the way the two
met an automobile and tried to pur-
suade the occupant TO turn about and
bring the suffering man to town, but
were refused. The city was finally
reached, however, and the poisoned
wound was attended to. No unfavor-
able symptoms have developed and
Frank is now out of danger.
In the autumn, just before the frost
comes, it is universally agreed that
there is more danger from the poison
of snakes bit and it is harder to
avoid them. They lie motionless and
it is possible to step on them before
having seen them and they strike
without warning.-Pueblo Leader.

husband, George Gilbert, freight
conductor on the Rio Grande, by ad-

There will be no preliminary hearing,

his apartments in the Mechanics

run one night. He complained of a
severe headache and swallowed num-

containing the poison tablets stood
on shelf next to the one containing
the headache medicine and that her
husband got hold of the wrong box
