Winslow. Maine, June 24.-The po-

ton of a mysterious crime laid bare
when children digging in the sand
unearthed a human skeleton, the
bones of a person about Is years old.
It is difficult to understand how the
skeleton could have lain buried in so
shallow a grave for many months
without discovery, and it may be
shown that the burial of the old skele-
ton in this spot was recent.

PREACHER TOO FRIENDLY
Wife of Rev. Frank Snyder Is Given a
Divorce.

In the time that a clerk in a pro-
bate court was busily selling one lone
marriage license, Judge Dana today
severed the bonds of matrimony for
three unhappy wives who could not
find happiness and bliss in the com
panionship of derelict husbands.
The wife of Christian minister
the companion of a hack driver and
the affinity of hod carrier were
among the detected women who
sought Judge Dana's court to secure
relief. Each went away carrying the
little white slip of paper on which was
written their decree.
Frank Snyder and his wife were
married nearly IS years ago. They
have a cozy little home at 1903 Gen.
trail avenue-in the Charles M. Shell
don district-but it hasn't been as
happy place as homes in that neigh
borhood are supposed to be. Snyder
At intervals when not otherwise en-
gagged Snyder breaches the gospel. He
fills the pulpit in the little Christian
church at Meriden. Som etimes his
mission carries him to other fields.
Rev. Mr.. Snyder leads a busy life.
On the witness stand today, the frail
delicate little woman, whom SNYDER
took as a wife, testified that her nus
/ band neglected his duties at home
| that he had too many companions
among his parishioners. Mrs snyder
| said her husband often called on these
women and that they corresponded all
too frequently. She protested But
without avail. Then Snyder went to
live elsewhere and the little wife was
Ileft to care for herself and two child
ren. It was only yesterday, the plain
tiff said when her husband came TO
the home and removed a portion OF
the furniture. Then he stopped her
credit at the stores. Snyder denies
many of the things in his wires Pc

He saws his wife is unreasonably jeal-

parents should take one OF the cnllo-

WHO'S WHO IN PRINTING

There are men in all lines of
business who are built more or
less on the lines of the gam bier
who gets a bob tailed flush and
tries to win the pot without
showing his hand, and the print
ing business usually is confront
ed with an over-production of
this species in its ranks. The
bluff is dished up in grades and
the less consequence the shop
the louder its noise. To read
and hear the statements of this
esta blishment would be to form
an opinion that it was the only
printshop in the country-all
others were base and malicious
limitations. But they never turn
out piece of work to substan-
tate their claims. Some of it
might pass in : pinch, but even
then most any one-horse shop
could do it better. However,
every user of printing is not a
Missourian, and being attracted
by the loud noise tries the effect
just once for luck. Others who
are unable to distinguish the

Alamogordo has not Planned !
Celebration

Governor William j. Mills has
issued the following procIama-
nation on Labor Day"
by the Laws Of the United
States the first Monday in Sep
tember of each year has been set
apart as day To be observed by
the people Of this great Republic
as Labor Day.
Whether on the farm. on
railroads. in factories or mines
and in various other occupations
IN which it is employed, labor
occupies such an important place
in the United States and has
done so much to upbuild and de-
yelop our national resources, as
well as assisting in the political
and moral development and up
lifting of our country, that it
was eminently proper that a day
be set apart in each year in
which tribute may be paid to
laboring men and women and
the work which they have ac-
comphshed:
Now therefore. |, William j.
Mills, governor of the Territory
of New Mexico, do proclaim and
DECLARE Monday the 4th day of
September, A. ID. 1911, legal
holiday, and earnestly recon-
mend that all business of what.
ever nature, except such as the
necessity of the people require
to he carried on, be suspended
on that day, So that all who de-
sire to do so may have an Oppor-
tunity of observing the day in
such manner as may to them
seem best fitting to the occasion.
Done at the executive office
this, the 18th day of August,
A. d., 1911. Witness my
hand and the great seal of the
territory of New Mexico.

Albuquerque. y. VI. Aug y
New Mexico will be ia the

aud Albuquerque viii be the
mecca for politicians Of every
rank during the week Of the First
State Fair to be held IN Albu.
querque October 8 to IT, Gov
eruor Mills has accepted an in
vitatiou to formally open the
Fair on Monday and will be ac-
eompanied to Albuquerque by
the members Of his staff. A
number Of territorial officials
will also accompany the govern
or from the capital. Chairman
IL. q. Bursum. Of the republican
state committee, and Chairman
W. G. Mcdonald. Of the state
democratic committee. will be-
in Albuquerque during the week
comforting with political leaders
who will be here from various
parts of the state. Fair week
will be golden opportunity for
candidates. who will have been
nominated before that time.
The state election will be in
the full sense of the word
statewide proposition. Candi-
dates for state offices will stump
the state from end to end. Pol
iticans already realize that the
New Mexico State Fair will af-
ford innumerable opportunities
for button-holing constituents.
That the lobbies of the Albquer-
que hotels will be alive with pol
iticans may be easily seen from
glance at the list of reselva-
ti0ns already OH file at the prin-
cipal hostelries.
The Secretary Manager of the
Fair has already been approached
by one astute politician with
overtures for purchasing a con-
cession to make an address be-
fore the grand stand at the Fair
grounds on one of the big days
of the week. But there will be
so much doing at the Fair
grounds that the offer was grace
fully declined. In any event
there will be a gathering of poll
ticians in Albuquerque during
Fair week that will be of such
proportions that the politician
who stays ct home will be be-
hind the times after the various
caucuses and meetings are held.
1t may be. that the amen,
corners will witness history max.
ing politics. All in all a real
live wire political worker, wish
ing to protect his own interests
and those of his friends, cannot
afford to stay away from the
First New Mexico State Fair.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE 70
HOkESIEAD[RS ALLOWED
Act Of Congress Grants Eight
Months Absence
NO CREDIT ALLOWED
FOR ABSENT TIME
No Charge Of Abandonment Dur
ing This Period

Las Cruces, Aug. 2S.-By the
Act tof Congress. approved August
10, 1911. all homestead entry
men in New Mexico are granted
a leave of absence from their
homesteads from the 10Th Of
August. 1911. to April 10. 1912.
Homesteaders, however. who
take advantage Of this act and
are absent from their home
,teads, can not claim credit for
the time they are absent In max
Ing proof.
Under this act contests on a
charge Of abandonment can not
be allowed unless it is explicitly
alleged that the entry was made
prior 70 February 10, 1911. and
that the entryman had been alb
sent for more than siX months
prior to the date of the passage
of this act; or that the entry
being made prior to February 10.
1911, the entryman had never
established residence upon the
same.
Of course nothing in this law
or the regulations governing con-
tests under it will prevent con
tests being brought on charges
of fraud, illegality of entry, etc.
1t simply restricts the bringing
of contests on charge of aban-
donment as stated above.
