TRIED TO TAKE HER LIFE.
Young Chester Girl Attempted Suicide
on q Main Street of the
: !. Town.

Chester, Feb. 20-Miss Rosa Lem
on, resident of the Eureka mill vii
lage, made a desperate but ineffective
effort to commit suicide on one of the
main streets of this city this morning.
Troubled over domestic affairs, and
especially angered at her mother for
chastisement, the 16-year-old girl has
tened to a drug store this morning
and purchased 10 cents worth OF lau-
danum. When about block distance
from the store, she unwrapped the
bottle, extracted the stopper and took
the drug. Policeman Caldwell, attract
ed by the peculiar manners Of the girl,
and detecting what she had done, hur-
ried her to DR.. W. R. Wallace's Office.
After two hours strenuous work on
the part of DR.. Wallace and the chief
of police, Miss Lemon was granted a
longer lease On life.

the spot market at the very time the
government began proceedings against
the so-called bull clique, and that
very act, as have shown, gave rise
to the so-ca!led "bull" rool, as de-
fense measure, originating with the
cotton mills.
Mr. Hafin. Mr. Chairman, will my
friend permit a question?
Mr.. Aiken of South Carolina. Ger
tainly.
Mr.. Hefin. Is it not fact that at
! the time the attorney general prose-
cuted what is called the "bull' raid
the spinners were taking cotton?
Mr.. Aiken Of South Carolina: Yes.
have just mentioned that.
Mr. Hefin. The spinners were TAX
ing this cotton?
Nj. Aiken of South Carolina. Ger
tainly they were.
Mr.. HeHin. I have not had the
pleasure of hearing all Of my friends
speech; but has the gentleman heard
of any grand jury indictment of "bear"
raids this fall?
Mr.. Aiken of South Carolina. There
have been absolutely none, so far as
know.
Mr.. Hefin. Since the gentleman
called upon the attorney general has
he reason to think that anybody in the
department of justice has investigated
and reported on "bear' raid?
Mr.. Aiken of South Carolina Not to
my knowledge. I have heard of moth
ing of the sort. Of course the interest
of tahe producer was not considered,
and it is evident that the attorney gen.
erals assertion that the prosecution
was for the protection Of the mill in
terests was at that time gToundlesS.
This letter of the attorney general
shows ignorance of conditions that is
lamentable or bias that is unworthy
an officer of this government. I give
my letter and his reply to the public
for what they are worth. (Applause.)

SENDS 81 TO CONSCIENCE FUND
Stole Pint in 1900, Says Old Dispen.
sary Employee-ConfesSion Made
to Governor.

Columbia, Feb. 19-An employee of
the dispensary in 1900 stole one pint Of
"XX'' or XXX rye whiskey, and, to
ease his troubled, conscience, which
hasn't let him rest since the deed was
committed, he wrote a letter to Gov
ernor Blease confessing MS sin, and
enclosed a 81 bill as contribution to
the "conscience fund" for the pint of
liquor which he flched from the State.
The governor returned the money to
the man, telling him that he hoped his
sin had been forgiven, and that he
should put the dollar to some good
purpose. The letter came from Green
vile, the man being an employee Of a
cotton mill Leaving out the name,
the letter is as follows:
"In the year 1909 I was employed
by the State, working in the dispen-
sary. While I was working there I
stole one pint of rye whiskey. I was
out in sin, but the dear Lord has for
given me for it. I want to make it
right with the State, and I feel like
you are the one to confess it to. May
the Lord bless you. I will send yoWS1
to. nav for it. I am a poor man, work
ing at the cotton mill for a living. L
have a wife and five children. I am
poor, but I am rich. l am willing to
suffer anything on earth for my Saw
ior. I pray Gods richest blessing upon
you. Hoping to hear from you soon"
The governor, returning the one dol
lar to the man, replied as follows:
"Your letter of February Is received.
I have forgiven you your sin, and hope
God has also forgiven you. If He
has not, He will. I return herewith
the dollar which you enclosed; put it
to some good purpose"
Some of the liquor houses in re-
cent years have made contributions to
the "conscience fund.- of the former
dispensary on account Of over-charges
to the State, but this is the first known
contribution from an humble en-
ployee, who simply took a pint OF IL

EXCURSION

The Albuquerque Automobile
excursion to Roswell arrived
here promptly at noon today,
but the party was smaller than
anticipated. 1t was said that
there would be not less than fif-
teen cars, but only six were
visible, carrying about twenty
five people.
However, the party made up
in enthusiasm and buoyant spir-
its what it lacked in numbers.
Mayor Sellers was of the par
ty, and impressed those who
met him as man we'll fitted for
the place of executive of the
commercial metropolis Of the
state.
The party was joined here by
Willie Elgin and Joe Peterson
with their cars, who will make
the trip through to Roswell.
Monte Goodin and family, Miss
Esther Pence, Mrs. Ewing and
Mrs. Elgin were of the party.

the loss of an arm. He was
working at a saw with a wrench,

DEMONSTRATION
GARDEN

While some of our citizens
have been busy on the big
proposition with the Okla
homa we'll driIlers, some
others have busted them elves
on a smaller proposition
which may be of considerable
Importance to the Valley.
1t was known that the N
N q Railroad Company does
mot require AL the water from
the EsJaucia Springs, although
the water is used for the$hops
here and fer the engines, and
much is shipped to other
points, and a proposition was
put up to Mr. Coomer, the
general manager, to furnish
enough to ilrigate u small
tract just east of the depot,
where all passers by can see
just what irrigation will do or
this soil. Mr.. CoOmer met the
proposition in a liberal spirit,
and agreed to furnish the
water, if the citizens would do
the necessary work in put
ting the patch in condition
for irrigation and cultivate
the crops. This they have
agreed to do, and are busy
making arrangements for the
work.
1t is designed to plant as
many QlH6f6lG KinuS Oh crops
as practicable on so small a
tract, the object being simply
to show what the soil will do
under irrigation.
The time is short for pre-
paration, and the soil having
never been cultivated will re
quire a good deal of work, but
it is hoped that good show
ing may be made neverthe +
less.

Do YOU WANT
A DEEP WILL?

The meeting advertised for
last aight to discuss the PROPOSE
ton of the Oklahoma well drill
lers was quite well attended, and
most of those present seemed
imbued with the determination
to put the thing through.
J. L. Stubblefield was. chosen
chairman of the meeting, and
Neal Jenson secretary.
After some discussion it was
decided to appoint a committee
to take charge of the matter
G. H. Van Stone, F F. Jen-
nings, J L. Stubblefeld, Neal
Jenson, Willie Elgin, S. Spore,
and Ralph Robertson were electe d
as such committee with power to
appoint subcommittee to aid in
the work,
A resolution was passed ten
dering the thanks of the COM
munity to Mr.. Spore for the hard
work and time he has expended
in furthering this enterprise.
Mr.. Spore is certainly entitled to
the warmest gratitude of every
man interested in the Valley.
1t is now up to the land owners
to put this enterprise through.
At last we have a clean cut
proposition to consider. No
strings tied to it; no after clap.
All there is to it is trade of a
certain amount of land for a we'll
fifteen hundred feet deep. What
we will get in this we'll no one
knows, but that is exactly why
we want to drill tive all want
to know.
We have now the best farm
ing land on earth-all admit it.
But we want and must have wa
ter on this land without water
the land is of little practical
value. And we have spent a lot
of money to get this water, but
all we positively know to date is
that small pumping outfits will
do good work.
Now come this firm from Okla
homa and make us the offer 20
drill we'll at least fifteen hun
dred feet deep-within one year
not a cent of money to pay but
fifteen hundred acres of. land to
be decided to them deeds not to
be delivered until the well Is
actually finished.
We can't lose.
We get a good demonstration
of what the depths hold for US.
We get a strong outside interest
into our Valley which must de-
velop it to break even. We get
the benefits of this development
on our own land at the outside
outlay of whatever land we sub
scribe to the fifteen hundred
acres that must be raised.
Think it over-do it now-and
YOU have got to get into it-you
can't stay out. Then get right
in-for the time is short, as they
onlv allow us a few days to re-
turn an answer to their offer,
Many of our local people know
these people, and know them to
be straight and financially relia-
bic.

M'|NTOSH MEN
CAPTURE GOULET

Estancia looked like an armed
camp this morning, and an un-
informed stranger might have
thought that preparations were
under way for intervention in
Mexico.
Such was not the case, how
ever. Goulet, the prisoner who
escaped from the Albuquerque
jail, had been captured by some
Mcintosh men, and the officers
who had been on the chase as
sembled here.
Lee Longino, George Falconer
and j. A. Britain made the cap
ture.
1t seems from what Goulet
said afterward that he did not
know he was running into
town, and when he came to the
outskirts went into an empty
house. One of the men named
above saw him in the house, and
went and asked him if he lived
there. He was evasiye in his re-
plies, and seemed ill at ease,
which aroused suspicion. After
wards he went to the hotel or
restaurant and got his supper.
Meanwhile inquiries by telephone
were made and description OBJ
tanned. Also one of the pictures
sent out was obtained, and it
was at once seer that he was
the man.
By this time he had gone south
on the railroad, and after efforts
to communicate with Sheriff
Meyer or Under-Sheriff Robin
son had developed the fact that
both were out of town, the three
men named above armed them
selves and started in pursuit.
They overhauled their man
about three miles this side OF
Mcintosh.
1t was after dark, but they
could see something which they
took to be a gun, and expected a
fight, but the object turned out
to be a water bottle. Goulet
threw up when commanded, and
gave no trouble.
He had some eatables, and
money.
Officers were notified, and
soon began to swarm in. The
prisoner was brought to Estan-
cia, and this morning was turned
over to Sheriff Jesus Romero Of
BernaliIlo county.
Goulet was talktative, profane
and sassy to the officers. At
some particularly exasperating
remark Cap. Fornoff is said to
have struck him, and the off
GERS declined to remove the
handouts while he ate break
fast, all of which caused much
indignant comment. The officers
evidently were not feeling very
kindly toward Goulet, having
been on the chase night and day,
and were completely worn out.
Goulet is said to have exhibited
much of a braggart spirit in his
talk. He told the men who cap
tured him that if he had been
armed he would have "swapped
off, with them at least. In an
swer to a question as to how he
obtained money and the tools
with which he made his escape,
he said he could get anything he
wanted in that Jail.
