GARDNER DECLARES
ARMY IS VERY POOR

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. A.
Testifying before the house military
committee, Representative Gardne,
declared that the American army and
militia are only sufficient to garrison
Paris or fill 65 miles of trenches. He
contends that the militia is wholly
unprepared, and quoted figures show
ing that $4,000 of Americas 100000
militiamen were absent from annual
inspection and $4,000 never appeared
at the rifle ranges.
Gardner asserted that America had
only 634 completed modern guns and
howitzers, only half the number the
Russians used in single battle dur.
ing the Japanese war. He contended
that ammunition shortage was the
most serious deficiency, saying that
eight field guns could shoot away the
ammunition as fast as the govern
ment could make it.

HEAVY SENTENCES

The cases against Fabian Martinez,
John Ong and Lee Anaya, Ignacio
residents, took quite an unexpected
turn this afternoon when the defend
ants entered plea Of guilty. Judg-
ing by the crowded corridors Of the
court house the greater portion of Ig-
nacio's population was present in the
capacity Of witnesses.
Court convened at 10 o'clock, but
upon request Of Smith and Austin, at.
torneys for the defense, an adjourn
ment was taken until p. m. Much
to the astonishment Of nearly every
one, the accused men plead guilty.
OF the large number subpoenaed
only the following witnesses were ex-
amined: Paul Shannon, Mike Shan
non,. Crawford Dickey, George Car
mack, Thomas Reaches, Paul Ferge-
son, Randall Chambers and Luther
Lester. Reaches is the man who was
arrested on the same charge as those
found builty but turned states evil
dence. ------------
Judge McCloud sentenced Fabian
Martinez to rs days in the county
jail, rs days on each count, and fined
him $b25, one hundred and seve nty-
five dollars for each offense. John
Ong, who was arrested ON two
charges, was sentenced to so days in
jail and fined $3.50. Louis Anaya
was sentenced to 80 days In jail and
the costs Of his case, the jail sentence
to be Suspended on payment Of the
fine. Martinez and 0ng were imme-
diately confined In the county battle

ONLY ONE BEST
Durango People Give Credit Where
Credit Is Due.

People of Durango who suffer with
weak kidneys and bad backs want q
kidney remedy that can be depended

eide for the kidneys only, and one
that is backed by willing testimony
Of Durango people. Here's case:

hard to stoop on account Of weakness
across my back. Pains in the small
of my back were like the stab Of a
knife. After taking several boxes Of
Doan's Kidney Pills, I was not only
relieved of the trouble, but was given
a permanent cure. ! occasionally tried

AT the second nights camp way up

attention to brand on the lid. "Made
In Cleveland, Ohio" So there il re-
mains but made in America never
theless. The following morning Bill
explained why SO sleepless and rest
less during the night. 'aThat darned
moon just hung right over my head
all night. I kept an eye on the cuss-
ed thing and wondered what would
happen II the string broke and it
fell kerdab In my face. Sam Bass,
the ex-noted outlaw, was likewise
from Indiana, fact of which Bill
boasted, hence /, and the Moso, the
caravan Of burros, were filicitated
with Bills song Of only two stanzas
all the livelong night.
"Sam Bass, was born in Indiana,
It was his native home;
And At the age Of II,
Young Sam began to roam.
He first came out to Texas,
A cowboy for to be;
And nobler hearted fellow
You scarcely ever see."
Tho California, or topknot quail,
surely must be as plentiful here as
any spot on earth.
The U. s. government has not over
looked this vicinity with its corps Of
efficient engineers. Elevation rnonu-
ments are plentiful indeed. Within
ten miles Of camp is Mule Ear peak,
$3.50 feet; Trap mountain, Abs;
Great mountain, 1887; Emery noun
tain, 6,s62 feet, etc. Our camp i'm
mediately on the river is 1000 feet,
so It Il to be seen that any one can
"find his level" here.
Winter still open and bnlmy.
