HELD TO GRAND JURY
IN A $4,000 BOND

James H. Castledine, who shot
and killed Vidal Duran. was given
his preliminary hearing before Judg
w. X. Stalcup last Monday. The
state was Represented by II. B. Ham,
ilton, Esq, district attorney, and
the defendant by the firm of Sherry
K Sherry, lawyers. of this city. At
ter the testimony was all in. Judge
Stalcup bound the defendant over
TO await the action of the next
grand jury, and fixed his bond at
the sum of $4,000.
A large number of the residents
of La Luz and the canon above were
present, as well as many from other
parts of the county, rendering 1t
necessary to hold the hearing in the
county court room.
Mr.. Castledine will rely upon self
defense In his trial, as brought out
in the preliminary hearing, he claim
ing that he was target for the
first shot fired; and, although he
had armed himself before leaving
his home to interview the parties
who had insulted his wife, as he
claims. he had no intention of u.s.

Delinquent Tax List

The publication of the delinquent
tax list for the year 1911 is COM
menced in this issue of The News
Advertiser, and as the act of the
last legislature governing it's pub
lication requires that it commence
on January 2, we are publishing on
that date this week Hereafter, how
ever. We will issue the paper as
heretofore. on Saturday.
The taxpayers will find this list
rather formidable document, but
they need not worry over the ex-
pense of publication. as those, only,
who have allowed their taxes TO be-
come delinquent will be called upon
10 pay the costs. A great deal has
been said in the public print in this
county about the publication of the
delinquent tax list and the onerous
burden the poor taxpayer is compell
ed to shoulder, when in fact the
:itizens who pay their taxes are not
Effected in the least, nor Is the
county. The costs OF publication
are added to each lot Or parcel OF
land and the delinquent taxpayers
are the ones who are compelled to
bear the burden of the noncompli-
ance with the law.

DO so.
The story told by Billy Ostic was
substantially as reported last week
that he was at the Madrid home,
was called out to interpret, was un-
armed, was shot at by Mr. Castle
dine, the bullet striking the ground
at his feet and filling his eyes with
dirt; that he heard several shots
fired Immediately after but was un-
able to say who did the shooting.
Mrs. Castledine testified to meet
ing three or four Mexicans in the
road. One waived his hands, to
stop her, but the others took him
in charge, and while she was consid-
erably frightened, she was not mo-
Tested. While going into the yard
from the road, after arriving at her
home the gate blew against her and
from this she received the scratch
es on her face.
The examining trial did not con-
sumo but three or four hours result
ing. as noted above, In placing Mr..
Castledine under five-thousand dol
lar bond to assure his appearance
before the grand jury at the next
term of the court for this county.

Final EIection Fignres

We have official fiugres OF the
results of the last election. The
total popular vote for Wilson was
5000. .063 for Roosevelt, 4.1GS,564;
for Taft. 3,439.529: for Debs, $685.
l1S; for Chafin, 203,319: for the
socialist labor candidate. 29,O6l.
The total vote cast was 15,04l,6jJ
only 1886 more votes than
were cast in 1908.
Wilson was not a majority can
didate though his plurality over
Colonel Roosevelt was 2,134,499.
He received 1.374.725 fewer votes
and 104,9l9 fewer votes than were
cast for Bryan that year, says the
Albuquerque Journal.
The most astonishing result OF
the last election was the enormous
vote east for Colonel Roosevelt. Civ
ing him second place by a plurality
over Taft OF 729. .035--a remarkable
showing for third party candi-
date making short campaign in
the face of a popular belief that the
election OF the democratic candl-
date was inevitable, as 1t was.

A sensation has been caused by
a poem that is being circulated in
army circles in which satirical ref
erences are made to the defeats OF
the Turkish army and navy after
they had been coached by German
officers. One of the authors of the
poem is Capt. George Steuenberg of
the 10Th infantry, himself a Ger
man. He has received a mild rep
rimand from the secretary of war.
The case recalls the one IA years
ago when Admiral Coghlan recited
the poem "Hoch der Kaiser" in
which Emperor William was made t
defend the divine right of kings and
10 use the expression Me and
Gott.' In that case the German
government put in protest, but
this time the slur as passed over.
In the armies of all countries such
lively skits are common. but great
pains are taken not to let them
become too public. Part of the
poem that made the present sensa-
ion runs thus
We've waved ON high the Stripes
and Stars,
Z We've made cur country known
TO fame;
We've licked. in three successive
wars,
Old England, Mexico and Spain.
That chip is on our shoulder yet,
Don I you forget; don't you forge1.
SO Kaiser Wilhelm be advised.
Don't knock that chip off--un-
deTstand?
For II you do, you'll be chastised.
And we'll annex the Fatherland.
We mention this with some regret,
Lest you forget; lest you forget.
