can Politics, Thought by His
Friends TO Have Been Murdered.
Albuquerque, n. M.-Solomon Lu-
ma, millionaire banker, sheep owner,
the wealthiest man in New Mexico,
and for sixteen years republican ma
tional committeeman for the state,
and who refused election to the Unit
ed states senate at the hands of the
first legislature, was found dead in
q vat containing thousands of gallons
of sheep dip at Horse Springs seventy
six miles from Magdalena.
1t is thought that Mr.. Luna became
i'll during the night and went from
his room to the dipping watts few
yards away, to get water and was
stricken with sudden heart failure,
falling into the mixture of lime, sui
phur, tobacco and water.
Close friends, however in Santa Fe
refuse to accept the accidental death
theory and are demanding that a
thorough investigations be made by
the police They fear that he may
have been killed by his enemies and
thrown into the vat. The killing of
Francisco Chaves, who occupied "A
like position in state affairs eight
years ago by shots fired from ambush
Is recalled by them and strengthens
their belief that Mr.. Luna may have
been murdered.
Camp employees at the ranch discov-
cred a body from which the skin had
been peeled by the boiling water and
lime, floating in the vat. 1t was not
recognized until one of the Mexican
herders declared it was that of the
millionaire.
Jose ID, Sena and other friends of
Mr., Luna declare he frequently had
received anonymous letters threaten
ing his life and that he had been en-
treated not to visit his ranch without
guards. He did not, however. fear
the writer's of the letters and ex-
pressed himself as able to take care
of himself against them.
He was "a years old a widow sur
wives.

A Prune Tree Curiosity.

The humble prune is about the
last thing one would look for as
a curiosity; but A. B. Wilkinson
has a prune tree that is so COW
cred with fruit that a branch
will be cut off and sent to the
curio department of the fruit ex-
hibit at Hancock during Old
Home Week. Plums, about the
size of hulled walnuts, cluster
around the limbs until they look
like ship hawsers four to six in
ches in diameter. Limbs an inch
in diameter have from two to
four feet of their length covered
with about fifty plums to the lin
cal foot. Others grow in clusters
like grapes that weigh several
pounds to the cluster. The tree
is four years old, and the unripe
fruit is very sweet to the taste.

Another Auto Found.

Last week we gave an account
of the finding of an abandoned
auto on the top Of Cove mountain
and its subsequent return to the
hands of the owner in Bedford
county. Within few days of
the finding of the machine, anoth
er one was found near Harrison
vile. 1t seems that the latter
was located by some workmen on
the Lincoln Highway, and after
it had stood for several days and
no owner appeared, Superinten-
dent Cline brought it to town.
1t was five passenger Crawford
one spring was broken and the
gasoline tank was empty. From
this it was inferred that the ma
chine had been stolen, which
theory proved to be correct, for
Daniel Lesher of near Waynes-
boro had lost a Crawford, and
identified this as the one. Per-
haps it would prove profitable for
some one to invest a dollar in a
huter's license and go cunning
for stolen autos, as this seems to
be the open" season for that
species of game, in this neck Of
woods.
