ALLEGED SLAYERS OF
TRULY HAVE SURRENDERED

Ike Cox, John Graves and Jesse
Carmen arrived from Cedar Hill last
evening on the Pennington train.
They were met at the depot by Sheriff
McCluer and Undersheriff Couch and
placed under arrest and taken to the
county Jail. In this connection the
men were not in charge of Mr.. Love
lace or any other officer, having left
New Mexico on their own volition. 1t
might also be stated that Tuesday
morning when the men were expected
that evening Attorney Russell of Rus
sell Reese, asked the district at
torney if the men arrived as planned
If they would be given preliminary
hearing and were answered in the
negative. Mr.. Russell then telephoned
the men not to come up that day
but wait until Wednesday, which they
did. Mr.. Reese also states that he
asked the coroner for an inquest TO be
held on the body of TRULY but this
was denied on the ground that the
cause Of was well known, being from
the effects of e gun shot wound.
A representative of The Herald call
ed on Mr.. Cox and associates this
afternoon and asked if they desired to
make any public statement-thatT The
Herald would like to publish anything
they had to say. The men said they
had nothing to give out and after a
few minutes conversation the inter
view closed.
District Attorney Lane informed a
Herald reporter about half-past two
this afternoon that he expected to ar
raign the men at this afternoon, but
at quarter past three the men or
their attorneys had not been informed
of the district attorneys intentions.
A steady stream of friends of Cox
and party have kept Undersheriff
Couch busy all day, letting them have
access to the men. If the accused
should be arraigned and bail fixed it
is said there will be no trouble in
obtaining bondsmen.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. a.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 1I.--
A plan to admit former presidents,
vice presidents and speakers of the

the privilege of debate but not of
voting upon pending measures, was
broached here by William Jennings

Bryan's statement was coupled with
the declaration that he favored a

took office on March 4. He declined
to discuss the outlook for an extra

"The president-eect is considering

"The question is often asked what
shall we do with our ex-presidents.

CONTRACT SYSTEM OF PRISON
LABOR is CONDEMNED

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 14.-The
contract system of prison labor is con-
demned in the report of the commit
tee on prison labor presented today at
the congress of the American Prison
association in annual session here.
The employment of prisoners, the
report maintained, should be directed
entirely by the state and the products
of their labor should be disposed OF

The first consideration of every or
ganiaztion, the report continued

and after that financial results.
Every prison should be so classified
that acertain group of men should
at all times be provided with work
on farms, roads and other outside
work and larger portion of each
prison should be employed on the state
account system.
The committee believed it possible
for every state having population
of two million inhabitants or more u
employ all its convict population il

use of the state and its political di

THRESHING MACHINE
WRECKED BY EXPLOSION

Fritz Brockenauer is in the city
patching up his steam thresher which
came ne.lr being demolished sunday
morning. So, three weeks ago Mr..
Brockenauel took his machine over on
TIC Fort Lewis mesa and a'tcr a
Sunday at j. l.. Preston's ranch. After
running a short time terrific ex-
ptosion took place, some one having
placed a stick of giant powder in a
sheaf of wheat and when it struck the
swiftly revolving cylinder something
happened. IL is quite fortunate that
40 one was kliied or injured. A ':rge
casting was hurled thirty feet, another
just missed tie feeder, while a pal t
of the cylinder flew past the owner
few feet away. The cylinder was put
completely out of commission and new
pieces have been sent for while other
repairs are under way at Harry Jack
sons. Mr.. Brockenauer takes the
matter good naturedly. He thinks
some degenerate simply wanted to
destroy property and find out what
effect it would have on the machine,
while some think the giant powder
was placed there to put the machine
out of business on the mesa. There
is no clue, however, but the person
gailty of the act should be behind
prison bars, because he not only wan
tonly destroyed property but placed
many lives in danger The damage
will run between $3.50 and $500 be-

The advantage of using explosives
IN clearing new land is that a big
investment is not necessary as in case
of stump machinery. Explosives can
be used in some way by almost every
settler. The stumps and boulders
are left in such form as to be handled
easily and disposed cf. The roots are
freed from soil and the large parts
broken up so they can be used for
fuel, as is the practice in many sec
tions at present. Extract from
Bulletin No. PIG, Wisconsin Expert
ment station, Madison, Wis.,
Circular No. 81, Missouri Expert
ment station, Columbia, Mo-, says:
Thoroughly seasoned posts will last
much longer than those that are set
green. Good results have been obtain
ed by charring the ends of the posts
over an open fire. The posts must
be thoroughly seasoned to prevent
splitting or checking, and the charring
must extend to at least six inches

the post is set. Dipping the post in
some preservative substance like tar,
petroleum, or creosote, will help to
keep the moisture and will also tend
to prevent the entrance of fungi.
Secure small sample of soil free
from roots and grass and put it in
glass. Insert two strips of blue litmus
paper in the soil so that they are half
covered. Then add pure water very
carefully until the soil is thoroughly
saturated. After the test has stood
for several minutes the paper is re-
moved and rinsed thoroughly. If that
portion of it which was in contact
with the soil has become red, then
the soil is acid and would be benefited
by lining. The litmus paper may be
brought at almost any drug storte.
