And here are two cases and two de-
cisions. You may take your pick with
out any fear Of coming under the ban
of the United States laws.
A certain newspaper out west Of
fered some gold coin prizes for win
ming numbers on calendars sent out by
it through the mails. 1t asked for the
purchase of it's daily issue for seven
days at a cost of 10 cents Then if
the number OF a calendar correspond
ed with a number printed at the top
of the first page OF the paper each day
the fortunate holder could trip lightly
to the newspaper office and get any
where from S. to $40 in shining gold
coin.
The postal authorities promptly leap
ed into the middle of that contest and
brought it to a quick close The legal
talent employed by the newspaper
maintained that the first element of a
lottery. consideration. a missing.
inasmuch as subscribers were buying
the paper and o a chance in the
drawing.
Finally. however. it was decided tina
there was d consideration in the work
done by contestants in advertising the
paper and by personally carrying the
! winning calendars to the office for re
demption.
A shoe merchant in Denver placed
a piano conspicuously in his show win
dow and advertised it in the newspa
pers and by letter.
Every customer registering at the
store or sending a stamped and self
addressed envelope received a mum
bered card which entitled him to a
chance in the drawing.
The supreme court Of Colorado held
that there was no consideration paid
for the card and hence the scheme was
not a lottery.
The court adds:
1.-The fact that such a chance or card
given away to induce persons to visit
their store with the expectation that
they might purchase goods and there
by increase their trade Is a benefit too
remote to constitute a consideration
for chance"
Here are two rulings on the question
Of consideration at variance with each
other.

freezing night air, combined with the
shock from the wound to the skull
was such as to make all efforts o.

EARLY MORNING Ri AZE -
MENACED ENTIRE BLOCK
Prompt Work of Fireman and Lots
of Water on Water Street Ex-
tnguished it, However.

Fire was discovered at 3.45 o'clock
this morning in some frame sheds on
Water street and brought out the vol
unteer firemen from their warm beds
and their prompt work and the heavy
water pressure prevented what might
have been a great confiagration. The
sheds were situated opposite the Jail
and were owned by Miguel Chavez.
The blaze they made attracted the
attention of Sheriff Closson and his
family who turned in an alarm.
There are strong suspicious that
the fire was due to incendiary origin
and prosecutions may follow.
Eating their way through the wood
en- side of the shed the flames at.
tackled a big adobe wall on the west
side with such persistence that a
quantity of hay was ignited. The hay
was in the feed house of the Morgan
livery stable successor to Williams &
Rising. There were at least six tons
of baled hay in the house and only
the prompt work of the firemen saved
| it. The fire might easily have spread
! to the stables which are of wood anG
| in which there are $4,000 or more
worth of horses and carriages, har
ness, saddles, etc. The fire was eX
tinguished by 410 a. m.

ARE UNDER
WAY IN MURRAY CASE,
Each Side May Speak Seven Hours or
About $4,000 Words Each, and
MIR. Pearce Has Begun.

The testimony in the New Mexico
Central receivership that has been on
the boards bewore Judge John r. Nc
Fie in district court the past week, is
all in. Each side asked for eight
hours in which to argue its points and
Judge McFie granted each side sew
en- hours. Sessions of the court are
being held from 8 a. m. to p. M, and
by tomorrow evening it is expected
that the case will be i'll the hands of
the court for his decision.
What the Judge viii Hear.
Each side will speak seven hours.
II is estimated a lawyer (not necessar-
lily from Philadelphia) familiar with
his theme can talk 200 words minu-
ute. That would be 10000 words an
hour or $4,000 words in seven hours.
Double this to get both sides and 1t
is readily seen that the judge and
court will have the privilege of hear
ing 10000 words of legal Englsn
before the case goes to the court.
Attorney Pearce of st. Louis spoke
for three hours this morning. He was
not "all in after it, either, which
shows the wonderful result of training
of the speaking voice.

Threaten to Return.
Aqua Prieta, April 1S.-As the reb-
els passed out of the city to the west
ward, one or two called across the
line to the American troops: "We are
going into the mountains to return
when we get some cartridges" At
10 o'clock this morning the custom
house at Douglas reopened.
No Immediate Danger at Juarez.
Ell Paso, April 1S.-Out of score of
conflicting rumors of firing near Juar-
ez last night and the reports of sew
eral hundred insurrectos now at
Bauche twelve miles from Juarez,
there appears but one concrete fact
this morning. That is that there is
no prospect of battle around Juarez
for day or two. Half a dozen shots
were fired by American sentries near
the Ell Paso smelter early this morn
ing An unexplained cause gave rise
to the reports that the insurrectos are
close to Juarez and that a battle is
imminent. Federal officials at Juarez
this morning admitted that there ari
500 insurrectos at Bauche and dis
! patches show that the remainder o1
the rebel forces under Madero, Oroz
co and Blanco, are either at Sapello
23 miles south, or guarding the Mex
ican National railway to prevent fed
eral reinforcements from coming from
y chihuahua. The federal Notifications
at Juarez are now complete.
/ No Excitement at Washington.
:, Washington, April 1S.-The advices
that Aqua Prieta has been evacuated
by the rebels did much to relieve the
: tension at Washington, but that the
: situation is not now regarded as
: acute, is evidenced by the fact tina
! the leaders of both Houses of con
gress after comforting with the presi
