EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

Doubtless there will be some strange de-
velopments in the history of equity when the law
ratified by the people of California at the con-
stitutional amendment last month concerning the
liability Of employers has been in effect for a
few months AS we have already pointed out,
the cook who persists in using gasoline to light
fires, despite her employers rigid prohibition,
and who burns down the house. killing child
or two, and escapes herself with injuries, can,
under this wonderful law, collect damages from
her employer without the interference of the
courts "

mentally humane Californans. For instance

Though several women juries have done
service in California, it is now held that jurieS
are illegal, as the comforting Of the suffrage
does not necessarily qualify for jury duty. This
is plain enough proposition; and it works all
right in practice; i'll Utah they have woman stuff
rage, but no jury service for women; in fact,
it is unfit to have women jurors, since this
would probably mean mixed juries Of men and
women, and mpossibility of service in protract-
ed cases.

LAS VEGAS IS SIDESWIPED
THIS VICINITY DID NOT GET
THE FULL BENEFIT OF
THE STORM
is NO HOPE FOR RESPITE
WEATHER PREDICTIONS SAY
MORE SNOW TONIGHT WITH
INCREASED COLD

Last night Las Vegas was side
swiped by one Of the worst blizzards
in the history of New Mexico, which
came racing across the state from
the north leaving coating of snow
and ice behind. Late yesterday af-
ternoon the sky in the west became
overcast with heavy clouds and a
strong wind came from the north.
The vanguard of the storm struck
Las Vegas shortly after o'clock and
the thermometer dropped to is, de-
grees, where il remained during the
greater part of the night.
This drop in temperature and the
change in the wind saved Las Vegas
full sweep of the storm, which
reached into the western part of the
state, and this morning the snow
registered only rs inches. The ther-
mometer did not go above 20 degrees
up to noon, and although the snow
in the bright sun melted rapidly, it |
remained in sheltered places thrnugh- |
out the day. The storm on the north
broke down many of the telephone
and telegraph wires and made Com /
into Las Vegas irregular.
Trainmen coming in from the north
report heavy SHOWS and a telegram
from Santa Fe states that the Capt.
tai City is buried under one Of the
heaviest SHOWS in years. Damage to
to the cattle on the ranges south and
west Of Las Vegas is reported and
the trains from both the north and
south are late. The message from
Santa Fe states the snow has drifted
to a depth of several feet though the
storm was accompanied by but little
wind. Up to noon the snow was still
falling in Santa Fe county and other
districts and even greater
damage than already reported is pro
phesied. The weather report for to-
morrow predicts more snow in the
western part of the state and a drop
In temperature. The storm was also
prevalent in the southern part of
Colorado where considerable damage
was done.
