SANTA FEE SHOWS INTEREST
Railroad Officials Investigating
Conditions of New Settlers
In Baca County

The reports which have beeI
coming from Baca county for some
time of distress among many o.
the new settlers on the plains there
owing to the severe winter, have
reached the Santa Fe officials and
with their usual regard for the in
terests of all territory tributary to
their lines, these men have taken
the matter up. They have through
Mr.. G. j.. Garvin. the Lamar agent,
secured from the commissioners oil
the county a statement as TO the
exact conditions and needs of the
people there.
The board of commissioners con-
sists OF c. H. Davis. chairman. and
J.. +. Harrison and w. c. Byers.
They have appointed a relief com
mittee consisting of c. c. Wilkin-
son, Geo. +. Allen, Will Sturgeon
and w. F. Stewart. to any OF
whom those wishing to contribute
can send donations.
The report of these people shows
that there are about $50 families.
mostly worthy people, who, on ac-
count of the bad season, are now
in considerable distress. The coun-
ty will provide for the bodily needs
of these people. but they are SER
iOusly in need of feed for their
horses and seed for spring planting
This aid can be placed in the form
of loans and the character of the
people is such that most of these
loans will be repaid. 1t is said
about $4,000 will prove sufficient to
relieve most of the distress and
all who feel able are invited to as
sist in this work.
The correspondence which has
passed with the Santa Fe officials
and their well known liberality in
the past leads to the belief that
they will materially assist in the
work of relief.

No Election

Lamar had the novel sensation of
not having an election on Tuesday.
Some of our citizens through force
of habit looked up the polling
places but found no evidences of
any election boards or paraphana-
liza around the premises SO came
away without having saved the
country. We understand the leg
al proceedings will all be dropped
and our people will have to get
along without knowing whether we
are a city or just a town, or as
Judge Hunter aptly put 1t just

know when an election is not an
election, or whether a mandamus

Women Cannot Serve On
JurieS
Lawyers State Suffrage in
Arizona Does Not Include
Many Of The Male Preroga-
tives.

Prescott, Ariz. The women of
Arizona now have the right to
cast thier ballots as soon as they
have been placed upon the regis
ter. The NOSE often asked ques-
tlon in local circles is as to
whether or not with their qualifi-
cations as electors they will enter
the field as fit material for jury
sevice and taxation.
Several attorneys seen yeste-
day answered both questions
with a positive and distinct
mo"
Accoding to section 2781 of the
Revised Statutes of Arizona
which prescribes the publications
OF a juror in this state, it is plainly
set forth that the juror must be
a male Citizen of the United
States. T" That in itself would act
as bar to women serving until
the legislature has acted.
There is mistaken idea which
has cropped out since the election
that the right to vote involved
the right to laGt as juror or official
and the paytnAt of poll taxes.
None OF these has been conferred
upon the wohleA However, there
is a movement OH foot to put thru
a bill placing women upon the
equality with men in all respects,
as regards to civ..a rights. Should
this be done they Nonld have to
pay poll tax in thle same manner
as the men and could serve in
office or on the hjury.

Man Captured After z
Years of Freedom
Escaped Convict Caught By
Pima officers Near Twin
Butts.
Was Sent To The Peniten-
tiary For Cracking A Safe.

Juan Garcia, an escaped convict
from the penitentiary OF Florence
was taken into custody by Pima
county officers day before yester-
day in the neighborhood of Twin
Butts. Garcia had been at liberty
for two years and practically all
trace of him been lost.
Gracia had been sent to the
penitentiary for blowing a safe.
He entered the institution and
had only been an inmate of it for
about three months when he
made his escape. The officials of
the prison at that time were
building a concrete foundation
for a gasoline engine at the well
outside of the prison walls. In
some manner and against the
better judgment of many of the
officers of the institution, Garcia
was sent along to help with the
job. The guard in charge of the
men had only a revolver AS
soon as the prisoners were out
side of the wall, Garcia started to
run. Many shoots were fired at
him both by the guard in charge
and by wall guards. He managed
to make good his escape and un-
till now has not been heard Of.
The man has undoubtedly been
in Mexico and has only recently
returned to this country. His
last trick was robbing a store
near Twin Buttes and this cost
him his liberty. Gazette

The work of canvassing the

vassed 30 days after the election.
50 the board has two or three
days to spare.
Soon after the votes on amend

proclamation of result. With the
exception of the Scent fare law,
which the railroads are fighting
thru the courts and corporation
commission, they will then go in
to effect.

Rayner's Death
A Brilliant Senator Passes
Away at His Home in
Washington

lsador Rayner, United States
Senator from Maryland and one
OF the most prominent members
of the Democratic party in the
United States, died last Monday
after a long illness, resulting
from continued attacks of neuritis
Isador Rayner was one of the
leading figures in the upper house
of Congress and in the last few
years has doomed SO large in po-
litical affairs that during theBal6s
more convention he was mention
ed by William j. Bryan as a
suitable man to select for the
Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation.
SenatorRayner was in his sixty
second year when he died. He
was a vigorous debator and listed
among the best speakers in CON
gress. He first came into nation
al prominence as a result Of the
vigorous Kramer in which he
handled Admiral Schley's case
before the Naval Court.
Senator Rayner took very
prominent part in the recent
discussions in Congress of the
treatment accorded members Of
the Jewish race in Russia and
was one of the strongest advocates
of the Abrogation Of the Treaty
with Russia because Of that
country's discrimination against
American Jews in the matter of
passports.
Senator Rayner, who was a
democrat, will pobably be succeed
ed in the upper house Of Con
gress by a republican. The va
cancy will be filled by appoint
ment by Governor Goldsbourough
and as the executive is arepubli-
can, there is little question but
that he will name a member of
his own party. The appointee
will hold Office at least until next
session of the Maryland legis-
lature IN January Of 1ss1t4.

Osborn Is Youngest Lieu
tenant Governor

Eastern dispatches ind icate
that Illinois is growing some over
having youngest lieutenant
Governor in the United States. .
His name is, O'Hara and he is
thirty-five years old.
Sidney P. Osborn, secretary of
the state of Arizona, objects
most decidedly. Compared to the
thirty ive-year-old O'Hara, he is
as beardless youth to a hoary
patrician. Osborne is twenty
eight years old and was twenty
seven when he was elected.
To be sure, Osborn does not
bear the title of lieutenant Gov
ernor, but in this state the secre-
tarY of the state is the same as
the lieutenant Governor and is
chief executive whenever the
governor is out of the state.
Illinoise will have to try again.
