suit of a quarrel at a dance IN Jarales,

Adolfo b. Sanchez was shot through
the heart and instantly killed by Leon

not be until the preliminary hearing,
which Will take place in Jarales We'd
nesday morning Olguin was arrested
Immediately after the occurrence and
is now in Jail at Los Lunas, but he
will not talk about the killing
One version of the affair is that
Sanchez, who was conducting the
dance, refused to allow Olguin to go
into the hall without paying the price
charged for admission, and that this
caused quarrel which led TO the
shooting. Another story Is that Oh
gum had entered the dance hall and
was boisterous in his conduct, and
that upon being elected by Sanchez
he later called Sanchez out and shot
him.
The dead man was a prominent
farmer aud stockman of Valencia
county and formerly was a member
of the board of county commissioners
of this county. He was a member of
the Fraternal Aid Union of America,
and lived in Jarales. He was be-
tween 40 and 4 years old and is sur
vlyed by a wife. one son and one

SELLERS HAS PLAN FOR
FINANCING CAMPAIGN


ESPECIAL ooRREspoNpEncg TO noRnINo JOURNAL
Santa Re, May I'D. X. b. Sellers
of Albuquerque, will on Tuesday eV-
ening submit to a conference of dem
ocrats to be held in the office of Sec
rotary of State Antonio Lucero, his
plan for financing the democratic
party for the campaign of 1916 He
proposes to assess all office holders
and every other willing democrat in
the state, a small sum to be paid each
month from now ON until November
of next year. A dollar month from
Il thousand loyal democrats and five
dollars month from 200 we'll paid
county, state and federal officials will,
in sixteen months, yield $4,000, for
which respectable campaign could
be conducted.
II is argued that such preliminary
financing will enable the democratic
party to nominate men with an eve
toftheir fitness and popularity instead
OF their ability to make big campaign
contributions. The committee, con
sisting of Edward C. Wade. Jr.. j II
McCutcheon and J. III. Crist, will re-
port tentative constitution and by-
laws for democratic clubs to be or
ganized in each precinct. Governor
Mcdonald and other state officials
Will attend.
