Second Anniversary of
Madero's Death Monday.

Monday was the second an
niversary of the deathof president
Francisco |. Madero in Mexico
City. His death occurred on Feb
ruary %, 1913, and was the eli
max of one of the most stirring
chapters in Mexico City following
the revolt by Felix Diaz, Bernar-
do Reyes and their forces against
Madero.
On the first anniversary of
president Madero's death a
marble tablet was placed over
the door of the little adobe op-
posite the Ell Paso smelter, where
Madero made his headquarters
while his men were camped in
the flats and arroyos outside of
Juarez. This tablet is engraved
with the date of the death and
the date when the Madero revo-
luton started. 1t was placed
there by friends of the president
with a simple ceremony last year.
The little house has changed
little since it was occupied bV the
Mexican leader. A fence has been
built around it and the little
leanto where "Pancbito" the
baby boy, who was born just
before the coming of Madero
and his men, has been torn away.
''Panchito" is now a big boy and
is running around the mud flat
just accros the MeXico-New Mex.
leo line from the brick plant
which was the mecca for many
preceding the fall of Juarez.

Bursum's Views.

H. O. Bursum has given out an
interview in which he advocates
another constitutional amend
ment looking to the establish
ment of county home rule as the
only solution of the county sal
ary question. He is not in favor
CT the proposed tax commission.
He believes that the larger the
units of government the more
complicated the machinery and
the greater the tendency toward
making the supervision burden
some. He therefore believes the
county commissioners of each
county should fix the salaries to
be paid their county officers and
that the taxing authority should
not be taken from our boards of
county commissioners and asses
sors, who are close to the people,
and placed in an all-powerful
board of tax commissioners. He
is in favor of amendments to the
constitution now, in order to
reach the desired ends, because
he believes that whatever may
be done by the present legisla-
ture in county salaries and tax
legislation will only be temporary
and that the county home rule
regime must eventually be esta
blished. By doing so now much
money will be saved to the va
rious county units of the state.

May Move Division

1t is rumored that the Santa
Fe may change the division from
Las Vegas to Rivera. What the
motive for this change is has not
been disclosed, but it may be to
make the division between Ration
and Albuquerque more nearly
equal. The distance from Ration
to Las Vegas is only Ill miles,
while it is more than 130 miles
from Las Vegas to Albuquerque;
besides,there is the Glorietagrade
on this division which requires
considerable time to climb.
With the division headquarters
at Rivera the time would be
more nearly equalized in making
the runs over the two divisions.
A good water supply can be had
at Rivera and several miles run
for the pushers up the Glorieta
grade could be saved by such a
change-Santa Fe Eagle.

Patricio Ortega Murdered.

Patricio Ortega was brutally
murdered, and his wife, Rosa
Gonzales de Ortega, dangerously
.iBJ's3sasd Friday night at their
home on East Lee street. by un-
known persons. The object of
the attack was evidently robbery,
as Ortega was a thrifty Mexican,
was known to have large sums of
money and it was believed this
was secreted about his premises.
The murder was discovered by
Mrs. Gonzales, a neighbor, about
8 o'clock Saturday morning. Or
tega's body was found about
seventy-fve feet from the house,
and Mrs. Ortega was found un-
conscious in bed.
1t is apparent that there we're
! two or more assailants. Ortega
was probably summoned to the
door during the night, and as he
opened it, was struck as there
are signs of a struggle inside the
door, and blood upon the floor
and furniture. Mrs. Ortega was
then attacked and beaten to in
sensibility. The murderers ap.
parently attempted to force Or
tega to tell where his savings
were hidden, as he was beater
and bruised and stabbed many
times with a small knife, and ii
the house and yard are evidence;
of a desperate struggle, before
he was finally dispatched.
Ortega's hands are bruised
and his arms cut, showing thu
fight he made before he received
the blows and cuts which endeC
his life. In addition to the small
) Ter bruises and cuts, the bod,
showed a terrific stab, twoinche

Many RanChers Aid
United States Marshal
Several Are Killed in Sunday
Battle Between the PiuteS
And Posse.

A SPECIAL dispatch to the
~ Deseret Evening News,
dated Sunday night at Grayson,
Utah, reports the fight between
United States marshal Nebek-
er's posse and the Piute indians
as still in progress near Bluff.
Four more indians have been
captured by the posse, accord
ing to this message, which indi-
Gates that the position OF the
whites has become stronger.
Twer ty-nine men have left Mon
ticello, the county seat OF San
Jnan county, to reinforce the
posse at Bluff. Assistance has
been sought from the Ship Rock,
New Mexico indian agency.
[. D. Creel, special indian
agent, and David S. Cook, de-
putty United States attorney,
were expected to meet at Moab,
Utah, Monday, and proceed at
once to the scene Of the trouble.
Advices from Grayson, Utah,
by telephone to Dolores, Colo,
stated that the band OF Plutes,
under Tse-Ne-Gat, which fought
a desperate battle Sunday with
a posse commanded by Upited
States marshal Nebeker, had
been surrounded in Cottonwood
gulch, near Bluff. Leaders o.
the reinforced posse expected tc
renew the attack today unles:
the indians surrendered.
The telephone line from Gray
son to Bluff has been out o
commission much of the time
since early Sunday evening
and details of the situation art
difficult to obtain. As nearly
as could be learned at Grayson
however, the whites have beer
reinforced by bands of armed
men Aocking from the nearb.
settlements and ranches. 1t wa
stated that the posse, which wa
originally outnumbered by 5.
to 70, was today stronger tna'

Felix Martinez Will Be
Senator-When?

Don Felix seems to have the
senatorial bee in his bonnet. We
would have no objection to his
running for the u. S. Senate; in
fact, we hope he does because we
cannot think of anybody the de-
mocrats could put up, except
Mcdonald or Wettlaufer, who
would be more easily beaten by
the republican candidate, Her
bert B. Holt. Perhaps Martinez
thinks he is getting an early ad-
vantage by purchasing an inter-
est in a local newspaper. And,
of course, he along with the gov
ernor and others are welcome to
run newspapers anywhere in New
Mexico that they can find one to
buy. The safest way, however,
of making these $500 invest
ments is in cash and not in pro-
misory notes, which might rise
up later to embarrass. However.
getting back to Martinez and his
chance for the United States Sen
ate, we trust the Citizen" may
live long enough to see that day,
for if it does, Methuselah will
seem a mere child in comparison
