FATHER RABEYROLLE
CONDEMNS TANGO
PRIEST SAYS CATHOLIC PEOPLE
SHOULD AVOID THE "NEw"
DANCES

Rev. Father Adrian Rabeyrolle,
pastor Of the Church Of the Immac-
ulate Conception, roundly condemned
the so-called new dances in a ser.
mon at the 10 o'clock mass yesterday.
Father Rabeyrolle said the new
dances, such as the tango and the
rag" are immodesc and should be
frowned upon by Catholics, as we'll
as all other people who are striving
for the betterment Of the world. The
priest urged his people not to engage
in such dances and to refuse to at
tend affairs where such dances were
practiced.
Father Rabeyrolle said the church
has always regarded the dance with.
more or less suspicron, but has tried
to hedge it about with safeguards
for the innocent He said ha was
not alone in condemning the rags
and the tango, as bishops and priests
all over the world are pursuing the
same course.

LAD HELD UP BY
STRANGE man
ON MESA
PAUL sHuRMAN SAYS HORSE.
MAN RODE UP ANo MADE
HIM DlscoRGE MONEY

Paul Shurman, rad of about l5
years Of age, told the police Saturday
evening that he had been held up on
the mesa east of this city between A
and 5 o'clock and relieved of SIS.
The county officials were notified,
but up to late this afternoon no ar
rests had been made.
According to the boy he was ap-
preached by man on horseback in
ONE Of the curves Of the road lead
ing up to the top Of the mesa, and at
the point of a gun was forced to give
the man his purse, which contained
SIS in bills. The strange man rode
rapidly away, and Shurman came to
the city and notified the officers.
Shurman had been in Las Vegas
only short time before ne was
robbed. He came here from l1l Paso
and was on his way to Denver, wtere
his mother is located.
Saturday afternoon about O'Clock
Shurman appeared at tho ticket Of
flee at the Santa Fe station and in
quired the price Of a ticket to Den
yer. Upon being informed, he count
ed his money, which, he says, totaled
SIS in bills and silver amounting TO
nearly five dollars. He informed the
ticket agent that he would return in
the evening and purchase the ticket.
Before leaving the station Shurman'
was informed by travelling man
that he could obtain work at ranch
just over the mesa. The boy, find
ing that he would have time to make
the trip, started to walk up the road
and was robbed before he reached the
crest of the hill, according to his
story.
The supposition OF the police is
that the person who robbed the boy
saw him display the bills at the sta
tion and also heard the advice given
by the travelling man, and at once
mounted his horse and rode to the
mesa, where he later held up the lad.
The officers are working on the
case and may effect an arrest, though
they have little clew on which 10
operate. Shurman left last night for
Springer, where he formerly was en-
ployed ON ranch, and intends to
work there until he obtains money
enough to go to Denver. 81
