KILLED By ENGINE.
John Pope, Colored, Struck by c. \.
&. L. Engine and Most Horribly
Mangled.

John rope, a negro between lOTlE
five and fifty Years Of age, was struck
and instantly killed by c., y. & L. ell
g;ine No. 3, running as train No. II,
backing Eight" from the Mollohon
mill to the depot. about 25 yards be-
low the Boundary street overhead
bridge, at 120 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. Pope was walking in the
middle Of the track towards the depot,
and the pumper on the tank of the
approaching engine struck him in the
back, knocking him on his left side,
running over him and cutting off both
feet and otherwise terribly mutilatin g
his body.
Southern freight No. 65 was backing
out of the siding on to tie main line Of
the Southern, running in the opposite
direction from the engine which struck
Pope, and it is altogether probable
that Popeis attention was concentrat-
ed at the time upon the Southern
freight, and that in the noise made by
it he did not hear the c., N. & L. en-
CINE behind him. The Southern freight
and the c., N. & l.. engine were about
opposite each other when Pope was
struck Conductor L. R. Dantzler, OF
the Southern freight, saw Pope before
he was struck, and hollered to him,
but was unable to make Pope hear
him.
Coroner Felker enpanelled a jury OF
inquest, with Cannon G. Blease as
foreman, the verdict of the jury be-
ing in accordance with the facts that
Pope met his death by being struck by
c., N. & L. engine No. 3.
The first witness was L. R. Dantz-
ler, conductor of Southern freight No
65, who was an eye witness. He said
as his train was backing Pope was
looking towards it, walking on the c..
N. & L. track. He hollered to Pope
he said, but it was too late, the G., N
& L. engine striking him right in the
back. He said he saw the rear wheels
of the water tank run over one leg or
both. The thought the c., N. & L. en-
CINE was running about six miles an
hour The engine which struck Pope
he said, was just opposite his train
at the time. He said he did not heal
amy signals given by the C., N. & L.
engine, but could not have heard them
in the noise made by his train.
Engineer J. R. Keith, who was run
ming the engine which struck Pope
said he knew nothing of it until he
stoned at the switch to head in on
the Southern track, about twenty
yards from where the negro was lying
He said the negro must have been in
tbh middle of the track, as he was
looking back and saw nothing. The
conductor, fireman and two brakemen
were on the engine at the time, the
conductor and brakemaen standing be-
tween the engine and tender. Hs
estimated the engine was running
about five miles an hour and said ne
was giving the usual signals.
Conductor J. L. Brothers, who was
on the engine, said he did not sele the
negro before or at the time he was
struck. He and Wade Matthews, the
fireman, corroborated the engineer.
John Pope had been working at the
Mollohon mill, firing at night, and re-
Gently had been working in a barber
shop in McKibben street. He was mar
ried, and his iwfe survives him. He
lived in Player street, near the color
ed Methodist church, in "Graveltown,

In Memory of Stanmore l. Morris.
Precious Stanmore. thou hast left us
From this world forever gone,
But we would not call thee back
From thy Fathers heavenly throne
No, dear Stanmore, not for millions,
But will pray to meet thee there,
In tn fathers glorious mansion
From this world of toll and care.
No one knows how We miss thee.
Precious loved one from us has gone,
Parents weep and mourn for thee,
But thou art forever gone.
There will never be a sorrow,
To bring sad look on thy brow,
For God hath taken thee to rest
In that happy home beyond the sky.

later he dedicated a soldiers fiagpole
at Washburn college. The rest of

INCOMING DELEGATIONS
ARE JOINING THE RANKS
OF HIS STRONG ADHERENTS
Preliminary Details Of the Big Convention
Are all Completed
CENTRAL COMMITTEE HOLDS A MEETING
Temporary Officers for the Big Gathering We're Chosen This
Afternoon--Proceedines Will Be Opened Tomorrow at
10 O'Clock A. NJ, By State Chairman II. O.
Bursum Many Notabes Here
CENTRAL COMMITTEE HOLDS A MEETING

Indications are that Secundino Ro-
nero, chairman of the republican
county central committee and sheriff
of San Miguel county, in which he
is a leader among the republican
workers, will be nominated for gov
ernor of the new state of New Mexico
at the first state convention, which |
will be called to order tomorrow |
morning in the Duncan opera house.
Mr.. Romero has the undivided sup
port of all northern New Mexico. He
is also strongly supported i'm the
central and southern counties. Many
delegations have been pledged to
vote for him and several others will
Join in with the crowd when the bal
lot is taken in the convention. 1t is
estimated that Mr.. Romero has
majority of over 40 votes.
Romero headquarters, which have
been established in Room 5 in the
Castaneda hotel were thronged last
night and today by the incoming dele
gates who wished to extend to Mr..
Romero their good wishes and sup
port. Practically the only opposition
to Mr.. Romero's nomination is from
the supporters of H. o. Bursum,
who assert they will be able to mus
ter enough votes in the convention
to give the gubernatorial nomination
to their candidate. Friends of Mr..
Romero and disin>erested analysers
of the situation believe Mr.. Romero
will be successful.
All Ready for Convention.
Everything is in readiness for the
opening Of the convention. The opera
house has been beautifully decorated
and every provision made for the
comfort of the delegates. Rooms fol
the use of the various committees
have been assigned in the CONNER
cial club, the city hall and the opera
house. A bureau of information has
been established in the ticket Of
fee at the opera house where dele
gates and other visitors may re
ceive any information that they may
desire.
Every incoming train toda.
brought delegates. Santa Fe, Ros
well, Albuquerque and other delega
tfons came in Pullman cars, which
were side tracked and will be occu
pied by the delegates. This plan is
most convenient one, as the hotel
were filed to overflowing last nigh
when the earliest arrivals reaches
the city. In the Castaneda hote
three men slept in each room las
night. The guests were all accom-
modated, however. as sanitary cot
were provided for those who did no
secure beds. The hotels and room
ing houses were filled today and tc
night every available bed will be ot
cupied by some tired but happy pol
tician. Many individual citizens ar
entertaining distinguished visitors.
The convention will be called
order tomorrow morning at 10 o'cloc
by H. o. Bursum, chairman of the r.
publican state central committee,
addition to the delegates it is expec
