Semi-weekly herald., 1911-08-28

A telegram just received from our
fellow citizen, II. T. Henderson, now
in Washington, d. c., states that the
bill amending section four Of the ia
nous Harrison act Of 1885, passed
both houses of congress, and was sign
ed yesterday by President Taft.
The section in question forbids or
ganizations in New Mexico to create
any indebtedness greater than per
cent Of the assessed valuation. In ir-
rigation projects on desert lands the
income from 4 per cent bonds is not
sufficient to pay the expense Of the
construction, and therefore while the
law at issue was a good measure at
the time Of its adoption in the earlier
days Of the territory, it has recently
held up number of big irrigation
projects throughout the state.
The Orchard Mesa project, in which
Mr.. Henderson and number OF Du-
range people are interested, is one Of
these. This includes the forming Of
the Orchard Mesa Irrigation district
and the construction of a big system
of irrigation in the vicinity of Farm
ington, that will cost some $460,O00.
For almost year the plans Of the
company pushing the project have
been delayed on account of the above
mentioned law, and other companies
throughout the state of New Mexico
have been watching with interest Mr..
Hendersor's progress.
The Bloomfield project, which was
organized under corporation bonds
and unable to make success under
that system, for the reasons mention
ed above, have been waiting for sew
eral months to refund their bonds and
form an irrigation district. This sys-
tenn will cost about $4,000 to con-
struct. Now that the bill to set aside
section four has been passed both the
Orchard Mesa and the Bloomfield con-
struction companies may proceed at
once.
1t great victory for Mr.. Hem
derson when one remembers the dif6-
Guilty in getting good measures past
the ponderous machinery Of congress.
A victory too, that will not only be
of benefit to the irrigation systems
in which he is interested, but will also
be Of material benefit to the entire
state and will doubtless be the means
Of turning millions Of dollars into the
treasury Of New Mexico.
We are so near to San Juan county,
New Mexico. that what is Of benefit
to them helps US. While living In
another state, the residents of ths
county are our near neighbors and .
part Of the great San Juan, Of which
We are Justly proud.

ROBBERY WAS NOT THE MOTIVE
Mrs. Borg. of the Tom Boy Mine, As
saulted and Murdered-Her Mon
ey and Jewelrv Not Taken.

Special to The Herald.
TELLURIDE, Colo, Aug. 24.-The
remains of Mrs. Anna Borg, who had
been missing since Monday morning,
were found by the searching party
yesterday at the foot of cliff some
750 feet high. The hand bag con-
taining the $3.50, which she had start
ed to Telluride, from her home at the
Tomboy mine, to deposit, and her
jewelry consisting of gold watch
and chain and some rings, was found
on top of the cliff from which she
had been thrown with its contents in
tact, showing that robbery was not
the motive of the murderer. Sus-
picion rests on a man by the name
of Isaac Matson and there is con-
siderable circumstantial evidence to
connect him with the crime, although
the coroner's jury brought in only
verdict that the woman came to her
death from falling, OF being thrown,
off the cliff.
The story of the crime is as fol-
lows: Early Monday morning Mrs.
Borg, young wife, 25 years of age,
who little less than two years ago
was married to Mr.. Borg, an employe
at the Tomboy mine, started to walk
, to Telluride to deposit $3.50 and some
iewelry in the bank at that place.
I Matson had for some time been press
ing his attentions on Mrs. Borg who
refused to have anything whatever
to do with him. He had been suitor
for her hand while she was single but
she had rejected him and married
Borg. Matson knew that she was go
ing on the trip and in few mo-
ments he followed and was seen no
more until about II o'clock when he
appeared at the mine, where he had
been working, and called for his
wages saying that he was going to
go to Denver. He then went to the
depot and purchased ticket for
Grand Junction and departed on the
first train. He had said nothing to
anyone that would indicate that he
had been intending to take this trip
until few moments before he left.
The clothing worn by Mrs. Borg
was torn in such manner that it
appears evident that she had been as
ssulted but the body was in SO bad
a state of decomposition that the ex-
animation was necessarily a superb
cial one but it is the opinion of the
physicians that she was assaulted and
then thrown over the cliff.

IKE cox NOT WITH POSSE.
Story Published that Cox Was In the
Posse After TRULY bo,s Proven
False.
Special to The Herald.

special to The Herald.
AZTEC, Aug. 24.-The story, said
to be told by Sam TRULY, to the eff
feet that Ike Cox and some of his
friends composed the posse who, with
Sheriff Dufur, were hunting the Tru-
by gang in Largo canon on Monday
night, is simply fabrication of false
hoods made out of whole cloth. The
men who composed the posse were
men by the following names, Rath-
Jen, Mccoy, Vaughan, McGee, McWil-
liams and Blancett, all of Aztec.
The story as told in The Herald
yesterday is absolutely correct so far
as the vitality. important points are
concerned.
Ike Cox was in Aztec on Saturday
but not in New Mexico after that
date. The reason for the hiding and
secrecy observed by the TRULY boys is
that warrants are now, and have
been for some time, in the hands of
the San Juan county sheriff for the
arrest of more than one of the broth
ers.
