,ne'dso. Of Roosevelt. Meeting.

II appears that We left out the
most interesting part OF the meeting
OF Mrs Bob Pierce and Col. Roose-
welt In La Junta last week. and Mrs.
Pierce writes to give us further de-
tails Mrs. Pierce says:
You did not get the most inter
esting part OF my visit with Roose-
Welt. Evidently you did not see the
great man hanging over the railing
OF the bandstand. calling me from
the crowd below, to shake hands with
me-. II occurred just as he motioned
the crowd around to one side Your
mayor had told me " | would stand
near the stairway he would try to
arrange NO that could shake hands
with Roosevelt, as he came down.
Some OF my Lamar friends were with
me. and were kindly assisting me In
getting located In the best place
possible. but It so happened that |
had to sit quietly and see the great
man escorted by me. without speak
ing to attract his attention. After
he had ascended TO the stand, how
ever. some one told him OF my pres
cnce and next knew I heard my
name from every direction at once.
I started east. then west. and then
finally they succeeded In getting me
to lcok up. and there he WAS reach
ing down to me. telling me how glad
he was TO see me. and how he ap-
preciaied my coming to La Junta To
meet him. told him | had feared
he would not remember me. and he
replied that he would have known me
anywhere told him he had seen
my people several times since | had.
and there I nearly broke down. He
replied NO sympathetically, and spoke
again and again 81 his pleasure IN
meeting me and rcsreiting that his
time vas 20 short

vitation Was given me to come upon

METEOR FALLS
NEAR AZTEC
NORTHERN ARIZONA VISITED BY
ENORMOUS METEOR FLYING
THROUGH SPACE AT HIGH
SPEED-SPECIMAN FOUND.

HOLBROOK, Ariz., July 26.-Fri-
day evening about six4thirty a meteor,
or some other body of a like nature.
passed over Holbrook going almost
due east at a rate of speed that
would make a swift4moving express
train seem as though it were stand
ing still. The noise it created was
very loud and lasted for at least a
half minute and sounded something
like distant thunder or the booming
of cannon in the distance 1t left
a large cloud of smoke in it's trail
and several of our citizens heard it
explode a couple of times. A few
saw it and nearly everyone heard
it, Reports from Winslow are that
several people saw the body pass
over that town, and the noise was
heard at SIT. Joseph, Woodruff, Pine
dale and Concho. That either all or
part of the body fell near the Sec
ULOH mousse at Aztec, SIX miles east
of here, there seems to be little
doubt. The section foreman ait that
point has several pieces of it on ex-
Inhibition in his front yard and few
small pieces were brought i'm here.
One piece larger than am orange fell
into tree in a yard at Aztec cut
ting off limb slick and clean and
falling to the ground, and when pick
ed up was almost red hot. Other par
ticles of the body fell in the same
Vicinity and an witness states
that for about a mile to the east
he could see little puffs of dust aris-
ing from the sand, evidently where
fragrants struck. One of the puzM-
ing features of the specimens is that
they are not like metoric iron, but
are rock in a sandy state, black on
the outside from being burnt and
white on the inside.

HEAD ON COLLISION.

PRESCOTT, July 24-There was
a miraculous escape from death of a
trainload of passengers Tuesday af
termoon at $40 when a northbound
freight went into "a head ON collision
with a mixed passenger and freight
coming from Mayer ON the Santa Fe,
eight miles from here The north
bound freight was due to leave Pres
colt at $40 The mixed train from
Mayer was due to ARRIVE here at
APO. The freight pulled out ON time
and met the passenger which was
an hour and a half late i'm the deep
cut near the P. e e. junction. Both
the engine crews jumped. Mrs. M.
H. Mayer, of Humboldt was badly
bruised and several others were shak-
EN- up but there was no serious in
jluries. The passenger engine landed
directly on top of the big freighter.

ACQUITTED OF
KILLING INDIAN
GEORGE SMITH OF NEEDLES,
WHO SHOT AHCHEE, A MO-
CIRCUMSTANCES.

NEEDLES, CAL, July 25.-The pre-
liminary examination of George Smith
charged with the murder of Ahchee,
Mojave Indian, was held Wednes-
day before Justice of the Peace Will
ford Cubaeg. The evidence wac
much the same as introduced ait the
cOrOner's inquest and resulted i'm a
dismissal of the action, there being
insufficient evidence to hold the de-
PENDANT for trial under the charge.
The unfortunate part of the affair
is that Smith and Ahchee We're both
victims of circumstances. Had it not
been that some unprincipled person
had furnished the Indian with an i'm
toXicant, the Indian would not have
been in trouble. On the other hand
had Smith been a man of ordinary
physical ability instead of poor
and unfortunate invalid suffering
with asthma, there would have been
no reason for his making the neces-
odIy ucItuIoe WHICH observation-disclosures
forced upon him. The unfortunate
situation which takes the life of a
human being and shadows another
with its taking, lis a matter of regret
1t is 20 years since a Mohave In
dian took the life of a white man
and then the Indian murderer was
delivered by his father to the au-
thorities. Since that time six Mo-
have Indians have been killed by
white men and not one of them has
suffered conviction. This is no ar
gument for or a Justification of a
conviction, but to the Indian who is
made amenable to the white mans
laws, it is evidence of there being
something wrong in the present sys-
tenn of human methods.

DIES MONIES, July 24.-The state
convention of the progressive party
adopted a platform containing a
plank declaring for the direct cleo
tion of postmasters by their constit-
uents with three affirmative cheers
today. The convention chose a full
set of delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago, organized state
working committee and provided
for congressional district and coun-
ty organizations.
The platform was mainly devoted
to national issues. 1t condemns the
national republican convention and
the republican national committee at
Chicago; it severely criticises Presi-
dent Taft and denoumces what is al
legged to be his subserviency to the
special interests; eulOgiZeS ROOSe-
Welt as the foremost man i'm the
world,' and declares for his nominal
ton and election; urges presidential
primaries, and direct election of Uni
ted States senators, endorses the ini-
tiative and referendum, and asks for

manufactures, agriculture and other

till it was inside the corporate limits
of Los Angeles.
The FL Paso & Southwestern, as
everyone knows, is closely allied with
the Rock Island system. If the e.

geles it is understood that it will be
Immediately taken over by the Rock

New Mexico, Arizona and California,
will be handled as a part of the
Rock Island system and Rock Island
trains will run over the new tracks
right into Los Angeles.
1t is reported that the E. P & S.
W. survey crossed the Colorado at
Indian Bend, a few miles above
Yuma, where there is an excellent
site for bridge. From there lit
takes a practically starlight shoot

the Rock Island and Southern Pacif-
ic are ready to enter the city over
the municipal tracks should the city
decide to build a double track in the

A Friend of Quaker for Twenty Two Years

Mr.. G R. Howder 63 years of age,
who lives at ITO Center street, this
city. has been friend of Quaker Elk
tract for twenty-five years With he
first became acquainted with its won
derfu virtues he had been ailing for
years from stomach troubles, and had
used quite a few of the many remedies
on the market at that time, but found
nothing TO give real permanent relief
until he at last found the first package
Of Quaker Herbs, put up at that time
in a dry form. He was cured by few
weeks use of them, and since then each
year, usually at the spring time, he
gives himself and all the family a
course of the great medicine, and if
more healthy looking and vigorous
feeling man at the age OF SO can be
found in Atlanta It win take more than
the normal eyes to find him. Mr. How

nITCHING, according to RUDE
Marquard, is like making love
everybody does it differently
But also like making love. there
are certain general rules of sue
cess that must be followed
Marquard is the pitching sensa-
ton of the baseball season. After
loahng for several years on Mana
ger McGraw's staff, he developed
last season, into one of the greatest
left-handers that ever broke into
baseball and this season his record
has been remarkable. He has won
twelve straight games and his phe
nomenal work in the box is not
the least of the reasons that the
Giants are running away with the
pennant
Several years ago, when the fans
we're speaking of Marquard as an
$1,000 bloomer" and in similar
unkindly terms. George Wiltse told
the writer that Marquard could
put more stuff on a ball than
any left-hander in the business
,Wiltse is veteran left-hander
himself, so his opinion counts for
something.

the readers of The Georgian the
secret of successful pitching

0'Keefe Beats Devlin; Slow
Count Costs Him a Knockout

properly, O'Keefe would have
earned brackets right here.
The sixth round was all
o'Keefe's, but Devlin was dead
game, and he came out of his cor
ner in the seventh looking really
fresh. A hot mix in the center Of
the ring finally ended with Devlin
Topping on the canvas for the full
count. He managed to weather
the round out by clinching and
hugging.
Devlin had the best of the eighth
simply because of his ruggedness.
He slugged all through this period
and had O'Keefe backing up. The
ninth was even.
In the tenth round, during a red
hot mix, both boys fell through the
ropes to the floor. Neither was in
iured and as soon as they climbed
back into the arena started battling
