PRAINTER SUICIDES IN
A HORRIBLE MANNER

Sam Lorberg, well known sign
painter, committed suicide this morn
ing in horrible manner AS the
Pennington train left the local D. &
r. G. station, the spectators were
Mortified to see Lorberg's dead body
on the tracks. 1t appeared he had
approached the train from the west
side, crawled between the two last
trucks of the rear passenger coach
and laid his head on the tracks for
the purpose of letting the train run
over him. His shoulders and neck
were crushed and death must have
occurred instantly. The position of
the body indicated he had planned
the terrible deed with calmest delib-
Grafton. He had removed his hat and
held it in his hand, the manner in
which the arms were relaxed made
it plain that his courage had not
faltered when he knew the heavy
coach was about to crush his life
away.
Lorberg had been a we'll known fig
ure about town for more than twen-
ty years. AS a sign painter, he was
an artist, but for years, and in fact,
during his entire residence here, the
drink habit had held him in its grasp.
OF late he had indulged more freely
than usual and it is supposed that
is what led up to the tragedy.
Loberg was the member of an
eastern family of prominence. His
brother is a we'll known magazine
man and his sisters are highly re-
spected residents of Portsmouth, Ohio.
1t appears that in the early years of
his life he lived up to the family
standard. With the death of his wife
to whom he was most devoted, he
drifted away and set the pace that
leads downward,
He was kindly disposed man and
his sad death is deplored by all who
knew him.
Coroner Hood has wired his rela-
tives in Ohio, but up to the time Of
going to press, no answer has been
received.

MANCOS LAD DROWNED
WHILE ATTENDING PICNIC

One of the saddest accidents that
has ever been recorded in the south
west occurred near Mancos yesterday
afternoon, when the youngest son Of
Attorney and Mrs. S. w. Carpenter
was drowned in the Mancos river,
while out on school picnic.
The accident occurred about mile
from the old Stubbs ranch, now own
ed by Harry French. Miss Geraldine
Buchanan, the little fellows teacher,
had her pupils out for picnic, as
part of the last days festivities.
All went well until the little Car
penter boy started to cross foot
long and fell into the high water.
Miss Buchanan was close at hand and
seeing his plight jumped into the wa
ter after him. She succeeded in catch
ing him and carrying him almost to
the bank. where she grasped hold of
an overhanging limb to save her
strength. The limb was not strong
enough to hold their combined weight
and it broke, letting them both into
the river. The rushing water swept
them down stream but the heroic
young woman held the lad in her
grasp and twice they sank together.
Not until her strength failed and un-
consciousness almost overcame her
did she let go her hold. Teacher and
lad were carried down by the angry
waters. The former succeeded in saw
ing herself by catching hold of an
other overhanging branch, where she
hung until rescued.
The boy was carried down to his
death. The children ran to the French
ranch for assistance Mr.. French gave
the alarm and then rescued the young
woman from her perilous position.
The town of Mancos searched the
stream. Some time later the boys body
was found down below the school
house, terribly bruised and battered.
More than five hours elapsed
before Miss Buchanan recovered con-
sciousness. Physicians working over
her feared for her life. Only the day
previous in conversation with Duran
20 friends she stated she would be
here Saturday on her way to north
ern Colorado to spend the summer
with her family and she anticipated
the happiest kind of days. Now
tragedy has occurred to darken her
entire life. But not particle of
blame is laid at her door. She prov
ed herself a heronie, and did all that
any person in her place could have
done.
To Attorney and Mrs. Carpenter
and Gilbert and Helen, the bereaved
father, mother, sister mad brother, the
sympathy of the entire southwest is
extended. They are one of the most
devoted families. Only those who
have had like experiences can fathom
the depth of their sorrow.

CHAS. PARGIN KILLED BY
LIGHTNING NEAR IGNACIO

Charles Pargin, pioneer resident
of the San Juan basin, was struck
and instantly killed by lightning yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock at his
Spring creek ranch, about miles
from Ignacio. Joe Carmack witness
ed the tragedy.
The two men were engaged in work
ing on an irrigation ditch with four
horse team and plow, Pargin driv-
ing one of the horses and Carmack
guiding the plow.
The stroke that killed Pargin and
the horse that he was riding rend-
cred Carmack unconscious. When he
recovered Pargin and two of the
horses lay at his feet. 1t later de-
veloped that only one of the animals
was dead.
Carmack was badly bruised but 9th
erwise uninjured. An examination of
the dead mans body revealed that
the lightning had struck his temple
and followed line to his ear, thence
down his face and neck, where it
spread over the front of his body.
News of the accident reached this
city last night about 8 o'clock. A
half hour later Coroner Hood and
Houser of the Ford Agency were on
their way to the scene. Muddy roads
somewhat retarded their progress,
but they covered the entire distance,
made the examination and were back
to Durango within nine hours.

MAY RECOGNIZE
MEXICAN REBELS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May IA
America may recognize the belliger-
ency constitutionalists as the result
of the rebels capturing Tampico last
night. The constitutionalists need
arms and ammunition to complete the
Mexico City campaign. Unless the
belligerency is recognized, America
cannot permit the importation of mu-
nitions. The rebel junta here is urg-
ing Carranza to demand recognition
and he will probably comply.
The news of Tampico's fall over
shadowed all the rest of the Mexican
situation today. Officials question
whether Huerta will be able to con-
troll the capitals popular sentiment
when the news of Tampico's fall is
received. Indications are that Huerta
has only ten thousand real soldiers.
1t is reported that discomfort is rap
idly spreading among these.
According to an official report Gen.
eral Mas has been recalled and Cen
eral Garcia Pena has been given COM
mand of the federals before Vera
Cruz.
The White House announced that
Carranza agreed to let the American
civilians operate oil properties near
Tampico. Rebel soldiers will guard
them. Secretary Daniels this morn
ing empowered Admiral Mayo to en-
ter the Panuco valley and aid the
wounded and assist the oil men if
advisable. Admiral Mayo reported the
rebel control of Tampico apparently
complete.

The federals are retreating fr,m
Tampico. 1t is reported they surren-

Potosi. The rebels threaten TO ex-
ecute all federal officers captured.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-
Admiral Badges wires the following
"This morning Mayo sent an officer
and consul to visit the constitution
alist generals, Gonzales and Caballero,
to notify them that he hoped the
constitutionalist control of Tampico
and district would insure perfect or
der and resumption of business. Cen
eral Gonzales renewed the previous
statements that the constitutionalists
protect the lives and property of Am
ericans and foreigners.
Liquor shops are closed, the city is
well policed. After the federals
crossed the Tamesi bridge at Tam
pico, the gunboat Vera Cruz partial
ly destroyed it. The Tampico bar
racks were blown up before evacua-
tion. The constitutionalist field guns
were of comparatively little value.
Evidently they had but few. The
federal evacuation of the city result
ed principally in ammunition short

Americans should be slow in return

is settled.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May IA
Private dispatches today bring ru-

aware of his coming.
1t is understood that the warships
Cleveland, Denver and Maryland are
watching for him. The federal gun
boat Guerrero left Manzanillo en-
route to Salina Cruz, the theory be-
ing that Huerta intends joining it
there. The reports are unconfrmed.
