THE VICTIM is SAID TO HAVE been AGGRESSOR
Is ALLEGED to Bye Fired Several Times Before Other Man Drew
His Weapon Quarrel Between Dead Man and Sayes Son
is Said TO Have Been the Cause of the Feht-Ubarri
Valves Examination and is Bound Over

hearing this morning Ulibarri waived
examination and was held for the ae-
ton of the grand jury.
The trouble is said to have started
when Ramon ulibarri and youn
friend are said to have accused Pad
la of horse stealing, connecting his
name. SO it is said, with the recens
operations of supposed gang Of cat
tle rustlers near Tecolote. Padilla
went to some Of his friends in an agry
and threatening mood. They tried to
quiet him, but he was beyond reason
| ing with, and went out seeking ven
geace on Ramon. Later in the after
neon, at about o'clock as nearly as
Gan be learned, he caught up with Ra-
mon on Bridge street and is said to
have accosted him with vile epithets
and abuse. and threatened him with
bodily harm. Ramon, as stated, made
his escape by entering store and
emerging out of the rear door.
The elder UlibarriA who had heard
Of the affair, went home seeking his
sen, but not finding him there started
out to locate either him. Pedro Padilla,
or an officer to arrest Pedro on a
charge of threatening to assault his
son. 1t was shortly after this that Pa
dilla rode up around the Plaza, turned
into South Pacific street, and Ulibarri,
seeing him. called to him to stop and
talk it over.
From the evidence offered at the
inquest, and also from the talk OF
many persons who saw Ulibarri Just
before and just after the affray, he
did not have any motive in seeking
Padilla other than to stop the feud
and to re-establish peace between him
and his son. He is said to have dis
played no nervousness at any time. It
was established. too, that Padilla shot
first.
Padila, who was about S5 years OF
age had served a term in the state
penitentiary for cattle stealing, and.
Though he is said to have been good
worker since his release and there are
many who now speak well of him. the
memory of the crime of which he was
convicted was forever present in the
minds of the people in the county. He
was married and leaves wife and six
children Padilla served until last
spring as West side officer.
Ulibarri. who has been in the sher-
ifs office for about two years, bears
an excellent reputation. both as an
officer and citizen.

EXPERT ENGINEER TO WORK
WILL MAKE ESTIMATE OF AC-
TUAL COST OF lRRIGA-
TloN SYSTEM
NEEDS The PUBLIC'S SUPPORT
HOME MONEY is NECESSARY FOR
SUCCESSFUL coNsTRUc-
TON PROGRAM

AT d HSellHS Ol lle Las vegas SIdht
board this morning, at which the pos
sibilities of completing the irrigation
project were extensively discussed by
members of the board and several cit
izens, it was dee ded to press the
suits now pending .igainst the Cam
field Development company to ~
speedy termination, 1t being the con
sensus of opinion that no plan could
be properly launched for the devel-
opment of "the lands north of Las
Vegas until the board had reacquared
title to the tract decided to the con-
tracing company several years ago.
1t was brought out that the ulti-
mate hope of accomplishment so far
as the project is concerned, lies in
the support of the community rather
than in the building of the reservoir,
on a speculative basis, by outside con-
Germs. The members of the board
and those in attendance agreed that
the estimates of cost that have been
published heretofore, have been far
higher than actual cost, because the
promoters have made their figures on
the basis of bond issues.
The board further decided to call
in the services of a competent engi-
neer who shall be paid to make sur
vey of the entire project, and develop
a plan for its construction, basing his
estimates on the actual and not the
speculative cost, and that the neces-
sary funds for the building of the en-
tire system should be raised by the
sale of the lands. 1t was shown that
several local corporations likely would
be willing to invest considerable cap
ital in the scheme in return for land,
where they could not be induce3 un-
der any consideration to buy stock or
bonds. 1t is thought that the project
can be completed at cost not to ex-
coed $250,000, This was emphasized
by Engineer Vincent Jones, who is
said to have gone over the ground
carefully at several times. This sub
stantiates the theory that all former
estimates have been speculative.
The advantage of using only
home money acquired by the sale of
the land. tentatively suggested in
tracts Of 40 acres, and so retaining
the money and acquiring the system
as well. were thoroughly discussed,
and it was the feeling of everyone
present that with a dfinite plan in
hand, made by a competent engineer
whose word would carry guarantee,
there would be little trouble in secur-
ing all the money necessary for the
completion of the project from home
investors.
The resolution regarding the suits
is as follows:
BE it resolved that those certain
actions now pending in the district

At about 630 o'clock last night
Pedro Padilla, after firing three shots
at Amador Ulibarri, jailer at the coun-
ty Jail, received a shot in the left
i.hreast. and fell dead from his horse
in Moreno street about 100 yards west
of its intersection with South Pacific
street on the West side. Padilla, who
had been looking for Ramon Ulibarri,
son of Jailer Ulibarri, since early in
the afternoon, and whom a short time
before Ramon had succeeded in evad-
ing by going through a store on
Bridge street, had approached the eld-
cd Ulibarri in front of the Buffalo sa-
locn. Ulibarri called to him to wait,
apparently determined, if possible, to
placate the younger man and patch
up the trouble between them.
Padilla, evidently thinking that Uli-
barri carried warrant for his arrest,
is said to- have answered:
Come around here If you want to
arrest me-"
Ulibarri called again:
wait for me, Pedro, / don't want
to arrest you, but only to talk to you"
Turning the corner. then, out of
South Pacific street into Moreno
street, Padilla called over his shoul-
der:
Come around here"
Wehn Ulibarri turned the corner
Padilla, from a short distance, and on
horse back, fired point blank at him,
missing his mark, however. and turn
ing his horse up the street, rode on
about 80 yards, when he wheeled about
and fired again. At this point Ulibar
ri. who had drawn his gun at the first
shot of Padilla, returned the fire, but
|also missed. Going ON again. pursued
on foot by Ulibarri, Padilla sped up
the slight grade of the street. refining
in at the first corner and shooting for
the third time.
Ulibarri, still running after his as
saiiant, shot for the second time. This
was the fatal shot Padilla, who was
using a 3S caliber Sibley model re-
volver, which he had been wearing in
shoulder hitch close to the pit of his
left arm, fell on his head. striking a
rock in stone fence and receiving
wound that in itself likely would
have been fatal. had not the shot from
Ulibarri's gun been so accurate. The
bullet, fired from IA caliber Coltfs
lreyolver, entered the left breast at
the nipple, and after penetrating the
heart and both lungs, passed out un-
der the right arm, below the scapula.
The body Of Padilla was removed to
the court house, and Ulibarri gave
himself up to Sheriff Roman Gallegos.
A coroner's jury was called AMI after
listening to the testimony of several
witnesses. returned verdict that Pa
dslla came to his death from a shot

35 and As persons were killed and
score of others injured early today
when the locomotive, baggage car and
forward chair car of st. Louis and San
Francisco traia No. 5, plunged through
a trestle over Brush creek near Leb-
anon, Mo, and were submerged in the
swollen stream.
Most of the dead were drowned in
the chair car and great number of
these were women and children. Those
who were able to escape from their
watery prison fought their way out
by breaking windows and swimming
to shore. 1t is estimated there were
65 persons in the chair car
Owing to poor communication with
the scene of the wreck it is impossible
to give a definite estimate of how
many escaped. None of the sleeping
cars left the track, and the passengers
in these quickly formed themselves
into rescue parties. One man in the
chair car lost his wife and five chill
dren. When the accident occurred he
was thrown clear of the descending
chair car and swan to shore. In the
submerged car his wife and children
met their deaths, while he stood near
by unable to save them.
Heavy rains last week caused all
tho small streams in the vicinity to
rise. The train was late because of
the flooded conditions AS it passed
Lebanon, according to reports reach
ing here, its speed was increased to
make up lost time.
Railroad officials announced the in

Woman Saves Lives
One of the passengers in the sub

broke a window and climbed out to
the side of the ear. Standing in wa

the hands of drowning passengers. AS
she grasped a hand she pulled with
all her strength. In this way she
rescued five passengers.
At 2;45 o'clock this afternoon only
tho names of nine dead passengers
have been received at the Frisco of

recovered. Identification was diff

imports have outrun our exports. In

tendency was continued in May, a
direct result of the Underwood tariff
act. the second Wilson bill. Capital
is hesitating, labor is unemployed,
gold is leaving the country in fright
full proportion, bushes is paralyzed
and the Nation is facing an issue OF
bonds, and a season of depression
similar to that of twenty years ago

When we remind our Democratic
friends of our warnings last year when
we discussed the Underwood bill, in
which some of us pointed out the
inevitable consequence, we are in
