.MUTILATED BODY
OF WOMAN Is
FOUND
MURDER is SUSPECTED AND THE
CORONER is PROBING AFFAIR
NEAR TRINIDAD.

Trinidad, Colorado, Nov. 22.--
Mystery surrounds the death OF
the wife of Miguel Gurule, a ranch
man of Trinchera, plaza thirty
five miles southwest of Trinidad,
whose dead body bearing every evil
dence of foul play has become the
subject of an investigation of the
coroner and the county authorities
Indications point to horrible mur~-
der committed some time Sunday or
earlier and Deputy Coroner B. B.
Sipe and Deputy District Attorney
Chacon are today at Trinchera inves-
tigating the case. Information con-
cerning the affair has been extreme
lily difficult to obtain but the theory
is that the woman was brutally beat
en- to death probably by her hus-
band, Miguel, or by another woman
who lived in the house of Miguel
Gurule and who is stated to have
been his mother, or woman with
whom he had been living.
Attention was first attracted TO
the possible crime on Sunday after
noon. There had been two funerals
at the plaza and after the dead had
been laid awav Miguel Guruie re
ported that his wife was dead. Jus
j tice Of the Peace Lncero went to IN
vestigate and found the dead woman

OIL PROCESS FOR
Streets IS
Favored
IN CITIES WHERE 1T HAS BEEN
TRIED 1T HAS PROVED HIGH
LY SUCCESSFUL

The Commercial club has started a
campaign against the dusty streets
This work was done through circulars
sent out by a member of the clubs
good roads committee which have
been followed by others on the same
subject treated from different stand
points. One of the last of these
postals requested persons interested
in finding a method to rid the streets
of the city of dust to write to their
friends in the East regarding the use
of oil for this purpose. The following
is the reply received by E. G. Muir
phey in answer to a letter:
Received your note about oiling
roads and want to tell you on the
first Jump it is fine thing. All OF
the towns around here are oiled. Our
oil costs us So. 40 per 100 gallons
plus the freight and was 40 per cent
asphalt. We bought 6,4O0 gallons
and 1t thoroughly oiled 10 blocks sc
feet wide They put it on in August
and we expect to give it another coal
next spring. We had some knockers
when we started to talk about oil
ing, but they are all converted now
1t is a fine thing. Oil used at
quantity of one-third and one-hal
gallons per square yard costing thre'
to four cents per square yard.
Cities in Kansas, an immediate
neighbor of New Mexico. have use'
oil on the streets with good results
Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1911-11-22


First, however, 1t is necessary to
have the streets put in good condi-
tion. They must be leveled for drain
age and the ruts removed. 1t is this
that the Commercial club and its
good roads committee desires the
city council to do. To oil the streets
in their present condition would be
practically useless. Winfield, Kan,
is a city that has oiled large mum
bers Of its streets with success. The
property owners there have been so
pleased with the process that they
have made arrangements to have the
thoroughfares treated each year.

FOREIGN CLUB STONED
BY A MEXICAN MOB
POPULAR eATHERlNe PLACE OF
AMERICANS IN CHIHUAHUA
HATED BY PEoNs

by a mob Monday morning during
the celebration of the anniversary OF
Madero's revolution. The library
window was broken by bricks. which
fell among several members of the
club sitting in the room at the time.
The Chihuahua Foreign club, one
of the largest in Mexico, is regarded
by most Mexicans as the visible evil
dence of the envied American COM
mercial supremacy in the northern
portion of their country. During the
rebellion against President Daiz last
winter the more violent of the par
tisans of the then existing regime,
most of them officeholders, declared
repeatedly that the club was a hot
bed of seditious Americans who were
aiding and abetting the cause OF
Francisco |. Madero for their own
ends. Enrique G. Creel, Jr., son OF
the former Mexican minister of for
eign affairs, in torrent of fevered
language, resigned his membership,
while others of his nationality notice
ably absented themselves from the
popular gathering place.
With the Inauguration of the Ma
dero administration, the club is again
an unwelcome sight in the eyes oi
many Mexicans, but for another rea
son. The poems, and even many oi
the semi-educated class, despite Ma
dero's declarations to the contrary
believed that the overthrow Of Diaz
would be succeeded by the expulsion
of Americans, who hold practically
all of the important railroad mining
and commercial positions, and the
filling of their places by natives ot
the country.
This, of course, has not come t.
pass, never having been contemplat
ed by Madero and his associates, bu
the attack on the club comes as :
climax to months of muttered threats
and occasional violence such as tha
feared at Torreon, from which cit.
many Americans have fled, believinl
themselves to be in danger Of thei
lives from the thousands of striking
poems. The latter are said to be hel,
in check only by the presence of
large federal force.

STARTED in PUBLIC SQUARE
WOMEN THEN VISITED OTHER
PARTS OF CITY SHOUTING
"VoTEs FOR WOMEN"
LARGE NUMBERS ARRESTED
WHEN SENTENCED THEY iNvAR-
iABLY CHOSE TO GO TO JAIL
RATHER THAN FINES.

London, Nov. 22.-Unrepentant suff
gettes to the number of 223, many OF
whom apparently are still in their
teens, appeared at the Bow street po.
lice station today and were sentenced
to fines or alternative terms of i'm.
prisonment varying from fortnight
to several months. The women invari-
ably chose prison instead of fine.
Counsel for the public prosecutor
said, in speaking to the charge, that
he could not adequately describe the
'disgraceful and discreditable scenes
of organized disorder of which the
accused were guilty.
From the evidence it is certain the
militant suffragettes acted ion COM
plete plan of campaign. AS soon as
they were repulsed by the police,
drawn up in Parliament square, they
dispersed into small groups, who
mixed with the crowds. These were
kept in constant movement by the po-
lice. Occasionally missile was
hurled from she middle Of the thronE
but the police were unable to detect
the thrower.
This gave the militants more con-
fidence and as they came in reach
of the governors Offices in White
Hall and on the surrounding streets,
the throwing of stones became more
frequent and shouts of votes for wo-
men" were raised Tt was here that
most of the arrests were made. At
the National Liberal Club on the
Thames embankment, the excitement
reached it's height.
The club was full of members and
their friends. These fiocked to the
windows as the crowds approached
but were soon forced to retreat in
order to avoid the showers of well
aimed stones which crashed through
the lower windows. Many more ar
rests were made here and also along
the Strand, where the telegraph Office
was attacked as well as several
stores.
Some of the suffragettes rode on
horses and in motor cabs, from which
they launched stones when opportun
ity offered. Newspaper Offices stu
ated more than mile from the
houses of parliament suffered in this
way. In some instances, the assail
ants succeeded in escaping, but iI
others they appeared to seen arrest
Somerset House, where the public
records are kept, also was the object
of attack, but its distance from the

OUR SAND HILLS

We reprint from the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record an interesting
and instructive article upon the agri-
cultural possibilities of the sand hills
of South Carolina. We hope that
every reader OF this paper will not
only read but will carefully consider
the said article because it aplies to
Florida with considerable force and
we hope with good results.
A few years ago the writer al
leges that it was regarded as impos-
sible to make a profitable crop on
said lands and in consequence of
which they could be bought for adj
surdly low prices and the people who
possessed them or had the courage
to attempt to make a living upon
them, excited the pity of all other
people
But what now is the picture that
this writer draws? He purposely Sc
lected the very poorest of these lands
and under the direction of a United
States government farm demonstra-
ton agent obtained most excellent re-
suits.
He succeeded in raising fifty bush
els of corn per acre upon which had
been applied but SO worth of ferti-
lizers, besides he gathered an abund-
ant crop of fodder and peas. These
splendid results the writer says were
obtained under exceeding adverse
conditions because the land had
been poorly cleared and the planting
season had been far advanced. Elk
cellent crops of watermelons, canta-
loupes, tomatoes, beans and many
other vegetables were produced.
The writer goes on further to say
that the pine land soil is excellent
ly adapted to the growth of both Irish
and sweet potatoes. For poultry
raising it is unexcelled. So confident
is the writer of the immense posi-
bilities of the sand hills for tremend-
Gus agricultural opportunities that
he has bought one thousand acres and
from the proceeds of which he ex-
poets to live in comfort and affuence
the balance of his days.
He goes on further to say that
these lands are more certain to pro-
duce crops when the seasons are too
wet or too dry than any other quail
ity of land. All these lands need he
AYERS is scientific treatment and the
world over they have gained a SUI

the health conditions are so ideally

the surface; they possess no stagnant
water as do swamp lands; the lack
OF humidity throughout the day and
the delightful GOODNESS of the nights

swamps nor stagnant water mosqui-
toes and other insects are not trouble
some nor hurtful.

WHAT IF HISTORY HAD BEEN
DIFFERENT

Some years ago distinguished
British statesman delivered an adj
dress in which he drew a picture of
the map of the world if the colonies
had not been successful.
He believed that washington in
stead Of London would now be the
capital of the British empire and that
the British flag would be waving
triumphantly over the greater part of
the civilized world
In that event every man is en-
titled to draw his own conclusions
whether or not if history had been so
written would it have been better for
the world?
This leads us to remark that fifty
years ago Friday the first great
battle of the civil war between the
north and the south was fought and
the south having won such decis-
i've victory high hopes were en-
tertained of ultimate and almost
speedy triumph and the belief was
general that separate government
would be established on these shores.
If history had been so written we
are at liberty to draw our own con-
illusions whether or not it would have
been better for all concerned.
There is one thing that could easily
be imagined and that is that the two
governments would have been very
loyal to their own and they would
have been undisturbed by any intern
al dissentions.
We believe that if a separate gov
eminent had been secured that the
Southern Confederacy would have
been the most prosperous country on
the map OF the world.
Her climate. her soil and her sys-
tenn of labor would have put her at
the forefront along the lines of agri-
culture.
Having a monopoly upon the pro-
duction OF fhe feecy staple fac
tories for the manufacture of the
same into the finished product would
have been established in the south;
other manufacturers would have
quickly followed, and in the strug-
gle for commercial empire the south
would have strided forward in leaps
and bounds.
Coursing through our veins are the
same blood of our English ancestors
and it is not unreasonable to believe
that we would be impelled by the
same lofty and humanitarian impulses
and that there would have been
gradual emancipation of slavery and
it would have been far better for
them and all concerned than to have
admitted them to full citizenship
without the necessary preparation to
exercise this great privilege wisely.
Some evils of course would have
forced themselves upon the surface
of things but on the whole, many,
wrongs would have been avoided, and
thousands and thousands of people
who were grown up in affuence and
luxury would not have been sud-
denly hurled down the sleeps to
penury and desperate want
When this paper remembers that
it was Thomas Jefferson that first
proposed the manumission of the
slaves by national authority it fains
believes that upon the establishment
of separate government the gradual
emancipation of slavery would have
quickly followed, that this would have
brought the kindliest feelings be-
tween the two races in the south and
today this would be the land of Tito
pia.
