dy, told substantially the same
story, but could not remember
details other than those given in
the story itself. Their testimony
was to the effect that the quartet
had entered the saloon to pur-
chase a bottle Of wine, which
the defendant sold them. That
Villinueva wanted to purchase a
bottle also, but that they dis
suaded him from doing so and
urged him 10 leave with them.
That there had been no difficult
ty nor words between the de-
ceased and the defendant, but
that defendant began shooting,
the first bullet taking effect in
the right temple Of the deceased,
whereupon he fell to the floor.
That the defendant continued
firing until four shots had been
fired.
The other two witnesses tes-
tilted that they were in the sa-
loon, behind the partition q
screen, and that they heard a
noisy crowd coming in, and after
quite a bit of talking, which they
did not understand, three shots
were fired. There was a scuf-
fling toward the door and after
some minutes the lifeless form
OF the deceased was found near
the door.
None Of the witnesses under
took to explain how minors came
to be in the saloon, nor how it
happened that the saloon was
open on Sunday morning, al
though all agreed that the whole
affair was after midnight, Esome
testifying as half-past one and
some as half-past two:
The defendant did not take
the stand. The court held the
defendant to the action of the
grand jury in bail in the sum of
fifteen hundred dollars. In de-
fault Of bail the officers took
their prisoner to Albuquerque
for safe keeping.

The Santa Fe New Mexican,
under the heading "The Ques-
ton Of County Salaries" hits the
nail on the head in the follow
ing:
1T might be wellfor the men,
bers Of this legislature to keep in
mind that something besides the
assessed valuation Of a county is
the proper basis for fixing coun-
ty salaries. In other words, the
salary Of a county official ought
not to be based upon the ability
Of a county to pay but upon the
duties the said county official is
called upon to perform.
It has been the custom in the
past in New Mexico to look up
on a public office as largely a
snap--a thing to be won only for
the emoluments thereof and not
because of the duties entailed
nor Of the services rendered.
Under those circumstances the
old fee system came into being
whereby some of the offices paid
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
and nobody knows how much
more.
Just because Chaves county,
for instance, has a high propor-
ton Of taxation, collects it as it
should be collected and that
county thereby is run on bus
mess basis, is no reason under
the sun why Chaves county
should be classified by itself or
with other counties on a similar
basis and asked to put up twice
what its county officers ought to
be worth.
The treasurer or sheriff or
clerk or what not, who is glad
to draw down 81 300 Or $1,000
a year when out of public office,
is at poor business when he ap-
pears beofre Legislature and
demands $4,000 or $4,000 a
year with 81 500 for clerk hire
and a few hundred for other ex-
penses, when he actually does
less work.
The New Mexican at this
time takes the broad stand that
1t is time to put New Mexico on
a business basis, to pay reason
ably for reasonable service and
to eliminate the politician and
CRATER from public office.
1t is not likely that any other
kind Of a salary bill will get by
the governor and if the present
bunch of county office holders
desire to run their meal tickets
on wind for a couple Of years
longer this newspaper has no OBJ
lection. If it will bring the much
desired result of putting county
officers on proper salaries and
New Mexico on a business basis
it will be well worth while.

from one to ten years in the penitenti-

during blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken windowpane, and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for 16 days,
when amputation was found to be nee
essary and the child died of blood pois-
oning. The defendant was convicted
of manslaughter for criminal negli-
gence in failing to provide medical
care after he discovered the frozen
condition of the child's feet In af-
firming the conviction the court held
that for parent having special charge
