A POOR WITNESS

Pueblo, Colo, Sept. z4.-George Nc
Donald, serving a life term in the
state prison for completely in the
murder of Max Newman, a merchant
here, sprung a sensation in district
court today when he testified that
Lemma Grose, on trial for his life IN
connection with the same crime, had
nothing to do with the killing of New
man.
Mcdonald was called as a witness
for the state and the district attorney
depended upon him TO forge the miss
ing link in the chain of evidence
against Grose. The trial is being
continued with an attempt by the
state to discredit the testimony of its
own chief witness. Newman was
beaten to death in his store in broad
daylight The motive was robbery.

lotta knew well how to be an en-
press. But the Mexicans fought
bravely for their freedom, the Uni
, ted States interfered in their behalf,
and the Emperor Napoleon was or
dered to withdraw his troops. Here
again Carlotta was dominant. She
would go herself to France and inter-
cede with Napoleon.
What could be more pathetic than
the spectacle of the girl empress
pleading with the emperor of France
end the pope of Rome for the means
and soldiers to save from ruin the
empire of her husband, at a time
when Macmillan had been already
many weeks dead. Carlotta's ambition
and pride were crushed, her heart
broken. Young, beautiful, ambitious,
loving, on the very threshold of youth
ard hope, she was seized and torn
from tho world by the relentless hand
of unreason, and cast into the mid
night of utter blank.
F'r nearly so years she has been
hanished to an oblivion that is worse
than death. Those who recall her to
mind as a proud and imperious beau
ty, would fail to recognize her in her
later years, all bent and broken. her
snow-white hair framing a face waxy
III complexion and deeply furrowed
with lines of pain and grief.
In accordance with arrangements
made by her brother, the late King
Leopold of Belgium, the former EN-.
press was placed in the old royal
castle OF Bouchont, few hours drive
from Brussels. Here she has remain
ed these many years, doubtless as ig
norant of the history-making events
that have been taking place around
her during the past two months as
she is of the execution of her hus-
band, the downfall and death of his
early protector, Napoleon III, and the
many other events that have passed
into history during the past half cen
tury.
Spacious grounds surround the old
castle of Bouchont and here the in
sane empress has been in the habit
of driving about frequently in her
coach of state. Here, too, she has
wandered among the flowers. plan
ming improvements, as she did about
the grounds of Chapultepec in Mexico.

He SET Them Up
TO DANDY GOOD
Time
THIS SPORTY CHAP PURCHASED
DRINKS, TOOTHBRUSHES
AND PORKCHOPS

Yesterday afternoon three gentle
men from Indiana, or its neighbor
state, Kentucky, visited certain places
OF business where commodities are
sold out of variously shaped bottles
and barrels and kegs, and where. be-
sides, there is current a large trade
in an article frequently called hot air.
Several glasses of a liquid of the
color of amber, surmounted by a
creamy, frothy, soapy substance, were
consumed by the trio, and one then
had an inspiration. Let us HE away
hither," he cooed. Il have thought
of something to do"
Leading his companions carefully
down the street to avoid the side
walk that insisted on jumping out
from under their feet, the inspired
ones walked into a drug store They
lined up against the show case.
What you want?" asked the pio-
neer in the expedition of the COM
panion nearest him.
"Pll take a tooth BRUSH" was the
answer that amazed the gaping clerk.
Each took a tooth brush
Their next stop was at a barber
shop. One took al shine, one was
manicured and the other had his
smooth face shaved This time the
first boon companion treated. Again
they journeyed forth. Again they
stopped. 1t was at a butcher shop.
'Make it pork chops for me-" said
the last of the three, and the other
two took sausage and veal Showing
their neatly wrapped packages into
their pockets the third member of the
party paying the bill, they went forth,
again to conquer the world,
Now I guess we are ready for a
real one" said he of the original idea.
This morning, when they discover
ed curious articles in their pockets,
ranging all the way from fine tooth
combs to ladies lingerie, they were
at loss to account for them This
is for their benefit and enlightenment.

For a Weak Stomach

There are people right in this vicin-

careful about what they eat as they
have weak stomachs. Many of them

COUNCIL TO WRESTLE
With SEWER PROBLEM
FIREPROOF GARAGE ORDINANCE E
TOO, WILL BE DISCUSSED
AT LENGTH

The city council Will meet this even
ing in special session for the purpose
OF formally taking over the property
of the Las Vegas Sewer company and
deciding whether the fireproof garage
ordinance shall be amended or repeal
ed. Everybody is familiar with the
fact that the sewer company has
agreed to give its property to the city
and that the latter has been glad to
announce its acceptance, but legal
red tape has prevented the transfer
being made. Tonight City Attorney
Clark has been requested to present
the unraveled crimson legal skein,
with the result that tomorrow the
city likely will hold title to sewer
lines serving the main portion of the
downtown district, while the former
owners of the system will be excused
from paying assessments for the con-
struction of the new sewer line.
Consideration of a change in the
fireproof garage ordinance will be
taken up upon the request of the Las
Vegas Motor Car company, which de-
sires to convert the old M. L. Cooley
livery stable on Douglas avenue into
garage. The building is of frame
and does not boast cement floor, as
is required by the city ordinance,
though the motor car company has
agreed to cover the structure with
stucco and sheet iron and otherwise
endeavor to make it fireproof 1t is
expected there will be objection TO
the altering of the ordinance, as sew
eral garages have been built accord
ing to it's terms, and their owners are
said to have announced a determina-
ton to protest against allowing com
petitors to avoid the heavy expense
to which they were put by the city
regulations.

PATHETIC STORY
OF AN insane
EMPRESS
CARLOTTA OF MEXICO is RE-
STRAINED IN OLD CASTLE
IN BELGIUM


London, Sept 25.-In all the news
that ha scome out of Belgium during
the past two months, telling of the
q eat battles, the destruction of cities
the fall of the capital and the flight
of the royal family, not one word has
been said concerning the fate of the
insane Empress Carlotta, who for
many years has been kept in close
confinement near Brussels. 1t has
been rumored, indeed, that the widow
of the illfated Macmillan of Mexico,
was dead. Recent arrivals from Bel
GUM, however, state that these ru-
mors were false, though it was cur
rent report in Brussels that the for
mer empress was so Ill that only faint
hopes were entertained for her recov-
cry. According to a story circulated
in the Belgian capital the German ar
mics were given special orders, at the
request of the emperor of Austria,
not to molest the insane empress in
her retreat and to take steps for her
protection if necessary. The en-
peror of Austria, it will be remem-
bered, is a brother-in-law of Carlotta,
the Emperor Macmillan having been
the youngest brother of Emperor
Francis Joseph.
The story of the poor, insane en-
press has often been told, but the
tragedy of her life is so interviewer
with one of the most thrilling chapters
of New World history that it will bear
repetition at the present time, when
| it is believed to be a matter of only
short time, perhaps of days, until
her earthly miseries are relieved by
death.
Born a princess, and educated to
wear crown, Carlotta has passed
4S of her 73 years within the walls of
an asylum for the insane Married
at II, a queen at "a and lunatic
at 26 she was bereft of father, hus-
band, empire and reason in the short
space of 1S months, and then, by
the irony of fate, forever banished
fiom human memory. Her career was
almost microscopic in the rapidity of
its changes-promising in its incep-
| Iion, magnificent in its rise, pathetic,
dramatic, tragic in its decline and
| fall.
Although Carlotta was more poten-
tial in Mexican history during her
short reign in that country than was
her imperial husband himself, the iec-
ords of that time ignore her efforts,
helittle her achievements and refer
to her endowments of executive abil.
| ity, political sagacity, mental culture
and strong womanly character in the
| most impersonal and incidental man.
ner. AS a matter of fact it was her
regal training, her dominant spirit
her constant insistence, which pre-
vailed over the weak, vacilating, easi.
| ly influenced and almost effeminate
character of the Emperor Maximi-
han.
Carlotta was exactly "a years OF
ege, Macmillan 32, when their eyes
beheld for the first time the land
across the water where they hoped
to regenerate a nation. Their entry
into the City of Mexico was trium-
phal one. The splendors of their
court were unprecedented, for Car
