Out in the South Side underworld

the leading characters in the red
light drama tell strange story of the
shooting.
They were gathered on the street
corners, in the saloons and in the
cafes last night talking amongst
themselves of the confession of Vera
Leroy and the publication of the
story after eight years silence.
Their story differs slightly in detail
from Vera Leroy's own story. In hers
she claims she mite Field at the Con-
gress Hotel or Annex and later ac-
companied him to the Everleigh Club.
The habitues of the badlands, who
are familiar with the workings~of the
CLUB, however, say that Vera" was
an inmate of the resort.
The ysay Field was shot by the
woman after quarrel After the
shooting doctor was called and ex-
amined the wounded millionaire. He
said the danger was imminent. The
Everleigh sisters remained cool. They
had all the girls go into their rooms.
Then Dave, the cabby," a we'll
known figure in the redlight district,
was called. He was ordered to drive
up to the back door of the resort.

INDIANS EN- ROUTE TO
PAY ANNUAL VISIT

The Montrose Enterprise is author
lty for the statement that twenty-one
Indians, from the Unitah reservation,
headed by Chief McCook and Sam
Atchee are on their way overland to
southern Colorado and northern New
Mexico. They are on their annual
witt to their fellow Utes and friends
Of the Navajo tribe. For the most
part the members of the party saw the
country before the advent of the rail-
roads or even the white man. They
have forgotten all the emnity they
harbored against rival tribes, and now
it is the custom for the different tribes
to pay each other an annual visit.
These people will have spent three
weeks in the saddle when they reach
Ienacio for the big dance which will
be held there the last of the week.
There are eight women in the party.
Conspicuous among the number Is Chi
peta, the aged widow Of Chief Ouray.

UNDERWOOD FIERY IN
CRITICISM OF MULHALL

WASHINGTON. D. c., July 30
Congressman Underwood interrupted
Mulhalls testimony this morning by

The congressman was angered because
Mulhall testified he had conferred with
Underwood frequently, and as the lat

deny Mulhail's statement, but he was
sent back"
Senator Reed closed the tilt by
saying "Other subordinates have de-
MED Mulhall's testimony, but after
wards we saw receipts showing that
money had been paid them"
In sworn statement Congressman
Underwood denounced Mulhall In re-
ferring to the letter mentioning him,
he said "the letter manifestly shows
that Mulhall is lying. The whole
statements are made of whole cloth.
He merely tried to make his employ
ers believe he was doing something

was reprehensiblc, but when Mulhall
writes that about me, he is commit

Malhail, in continuing, said he paid
Underwood's janitor for two years,

nesses, Underwood will admit that
part of his statements lie. If you
brand me here as liar, I'll produce
Endorsements of leading Republicans

ENTRYMEN IN DANGER OF
LOSING THEIR HOMEsTEADG
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
FARMINGToN, N. M, July g.
On behalf of over one hundred home
stead and desert land entrymen Of
San Juan county, who are about to
lose their entries through the recent
decisions of the general land office,
which has rejected their proofs and
held the entries for cancellation, Con-
gresham Ferguson has been asked
to assist in the passage of the SEN
nte bills now pending before the house
fer the relief of homesteaders, and to
assist in securing a liberal construc-
tion of the desert land laws.
The homesteaders have settled On
their claims for from three to sevsa
years, have resided thereon sufficient
~ to comply with the law, have culd-
waited the amount Of land in acres -
required, but some of them have not
Continuously cultivated" the required
ariount as there were two dry years
here when any crop planted would
have been a failure. For this rea-
son title is refused the entrymen and
entries are held for cancellation.
The desert land entrymen made
their entries from three to Ave years
ago under irrigation projects which
they had good reason to believe would
be completed within four year, time.
The waters OF the rivers in this part
Of the state were applied for by dif-
ferent companies, all Of whom bseaus
entangled in litigation, which 10 % yst
unsettled, It still pending in court.
Thus the applicants for the water caA-
not sell water to the entrymsn, ~
their interests have not been deter
mined by the courts; they cannot A.
nance or construct their canals for
the same reason, and for the further
reason that there are practically No
patented lands under their proposed
canal projects, on which to base IN
encumbrance for the construction Of
canals. Thus the desert eatrymea
can not secure Ownership to watsr
from the above mentioned applicants
with which to reclaim their iands and
secure patent. On the other hand they
cannot secure ownership to wstsr on
their own part because The pending
applications now in litigation cover all
the available water Of an the rivers.
The desert entrymsn have applied
for an extension Of time under the
act Of March %, 1908, which permits
the same in the discretion Of the ints-
rior department, but those who have
been rejected and the entries held for
cancellation on the ground that the
entrymen did not own q wster right
sufficient for the reclamation Of all
the irrigable land Of the entry.
This in justice is causing much feel
| ing among the people of San Juan
| county, who are earnestly pleading
with their congressman and senator's
for relief, to which the senator's have
already responded, and 70 which tAs
congressman will undoubtedly lend
his aid upon learning of the actual
conditions. A. A. Jones Of the interior
department has promised to do al n
his power to bring about . moro llb-
eral construction Of the law. With
the matter properly presented, Il 10
hoped that the existing injustice Win
be righted. which win allow the saa
Juan to develop more fully her vsst
resources.
