FREEzINGTEMPERATURE
DID NOT HURT FRUIT
WEATHER OBSERVER BAKER
SAYS COLD OF LAST NIGHT
DID NO DAMAGE.

This has been a spring of excep.
tions, but who would have thought
last night as he lay down ON his dow
ny couch that when he awoke the
ground would be clothed in a blanket
of snowy white? Old timers here say
that years ago Las Vegas witnessed
snow in the middle of August, and,
after seeing snow on May 13, one is
almost inclined to believe the story.
Accompanying the snowfall was a
drop in the temperature, the mini
mum registered being 80 degrees.
However, according to Professor j..
C. Baker, weather observer at the
Normal University, no harm was done
by either the snow or the freezing
temperature. Fruit trees were in
bloom and though the blossoms will
lose their petals, the fruit will not
be injured. The snow protected
blooms from the cold The precipita-
tion recorded at the Normal was 40
inches.
The rains of the past week and the
snow of last night will be of great
benefit to this section of the country
and farmers and rachmen prophesy
record breaking year. The cold
weather has retarded the develop
ment of vegetation, but with heavy
trosts at night, the fruit growers OF
the new state consider it streak OF
luck that the cold days have prevent
ed the blossoming of their trees.

INDIANS PROTEST
AGAINST The
BOUT
RED MEN FROM LAGUNA SEND A
COMMUNICATION TO THE
GOVERNOR.

Santa Fe, N. NJ. May 13.-Ever
since the proposition to hold the
Johnson-Flynn fight in Las Vegas
took concrete. form the legislature
has been bombarded with petitions
on the subject from all over the Unit
ed States as well as from every coun-
ty in New Mexico. AS rule they are
vehement in tone, regardless of
which side of the question is advocat-
ed, the petitioners either protesting
urgently against the permission OF
the brutal spectacle of prize fight
ing or insisting with equal urgency
upon the recognition of the manly
sport of boxing"
For quaintness of expression and
originality of viewpoint, however, a
petition received by Governor NC
Donald from the Indians of the Le-
guna pueblo, in Valencia county, has
little something on any Of the other
petitions that have been presented
1t is as follows:
I'VE, the Indians of the Laguna
pueblo, Valencia county, New Mexi-
co, in meeting assembled, express our
disapproval of all kinds of fighting,
prize fighting or fighting for money
included.
What is not good for Indian boys
and men is not good for white boys
and men.
MANY parts of our country do not
allow fighting, and we do not want ii
permitted in New Mexico.
4 I'VE believe fighting to be had and
a sin. Sin is bad, whether it is bis
or little. Sin does not care who ii
hurts.
Fighting will be bad for Indians
and all. We believe it will disgrace
our state and we want our lawmakers
and governor to stop It. White Uer
tell us not to fight and then figh1
themselves and set us bad exam
pie"

number of the Pueblo Indians, man,

THE SQUAD MAKES GOOD I'M
PRESTON IN SPITE OF DIS
couRAGEMENTs.

While the Maroon squad did not
show up any great baseball skill yes
terday afternoon in the first try-out,
the players demonstrated that they
have baseball sense and know how to
take care of their arms. The day
was too cold, the grounds were too
damn and the ball was too slippery to
allow any fancy baseball stunts. The
players took it easy. Several of them,
notably Barclay, owen, Clark, Ellis
and Mcintyre, showed excellent early
season form. If it ever stops snow
ing and raining the squad will be put
through some hard workouts this
week and is expected to develop Into
a fast aggregation. Chief Lockhart
Is expected to arrive tonight or to-
morrow. He win be made captain, 1t
is expected.
Yesterday the Yannigans, ior
whom Harmon and Barclay appeared
as battery, defeated the regulars by a
score that nobody kept track OF. Tex.
Brown and Sandoval did the battery
stunts for the regulars. Brown is a
left handler with a large assortment
of curves. He is expected to be one
of the Maroons' mainstays in the Dox.
The weather man permitting, the
Maroons will open the local season
Friday with a game with the Daw-
son Miners. The series will continue
Saturday and Sunday and the Maroons'
management is looking for big
crowds on all three days. Those
who saw the workout yesterday were
pleased with the showing made. They
realized the handicap under which
the players were working.
