woman to Chicago. talked the man out
of $4,000 In return for a promise to

MAN KILLED BY
DEPUTIES HAS
STOLEN HORSE.
w. H. Springer Identifies AMI
NAL Killed as One of Those
Taken From Transfer Com
pany Here Last Tuesday,

Deputy sheriffs late Saturday
brought down in eastern Valencia
county man thought to be Francisco
Gonzales who was mounted on horse
stolen from the Springer Transfer
company's office here.
The man made his last stand near
Uncle sam, a small town, A running
fight preceded this. Four mounted
deputies pursued the men, exchanging
shots with him. His horse was faster
than theirs and, as he was drawing
away from them the officers turned
their fire on his mount, bringing him
to the ground.
The man, then dfsmounted, was
killed as he was reloading his gun the
officers stated. He had an automatic
pistol There were five wounds in his
body. None Of the pursuers was
wounded. A bullet tore hole in one
officers coat, however.
The only clew to the identity of the
dead man was a receipt from an ex-
rress company, made out to Francisco
Gonzales. The receipt showed that he
had expressed a gun from Lamy, N.
NJ, to Eel Paso. He was not known to
the officers.
The Springer company's horse, al
though hit three times by the officers
bullets, was not seriously wounded.
The horse was taken to Belen. w. II,
Springer identified the animal yester-
day at Belen. Mr.. Springer also iden-
titled the saddle which had been taken
off the horse.
This horse and another were taken
from the alley east of the Springer
company's office, where they We're
tied. early Tuesday night. The other
horse, saddled, was found straying
near Isleta Saturday. This horse was
returned to the Springer company.
Positive information as to why the
deputies were after the man was
lacking here. A report which lacked
confirmation contained a possible eX
PLANTATION, however The report said
that they believed him to be the man
who entered a house at Bosque, Va
lencia county.

CONTRACTOR REPLIES 10
OBJECTIONS TO CONCRETE

J. a. Laughlin, of Trinidad Colo,
paving contractor, last night sent this
| letter TO the Morning Journal
TO the Mayor and Council and Prop.
| orty owners Of Central Avenue
THE Evening Herald Of December
2 contained a letter from MIR. Nord.
haus relative to the paving contract
to be let by the city council tonight.
This contract was formally
awarded to me September 20 by the
| unanimous vote of the city council
backed by a decided majority of the
property owners, and at the present
time there Is no change in that senti-
ment to my knowledge. However, in
the signing Of the petition certain
technical errors were discovered
which in no way entered into the mer-
It's of the contract, but these techni-
calities raised question of the le-
gality OF the bonds It was thought
advisable by my attorney and the at
torneys for the bidders of the bonds
to have "a new petition signed. The
contract was awarded TO me in open
competition after careful and Consci-
ontious consideration of other bids by
the mayor council and property own
ors, and / believe that at the present
moment all interested with few cx-
ceptons, consider this contract as
being dghtfully awarded to me--and
I do not think It is their intention to
deprive me Of It on account of any

This IN brief Is the history of this
letting, but certain objections raised
prior to this letting and disposed of
to practically the satisfaction of all
concerned are again brought forward.
70 go back a moment: ! wish to state
that =. f. Meade came here in the in
terests of the Portland Cement assoc
citation with me. His only interest is
to see that good work is done in or
der that Portland cement as a prod
net will retain It's good name. My
specifications were approved and
recommended by him and he cannot
as an engineer Of wide experience in
this class OF work recommend any
thing but good specifications. Mr.,
Meade has no axe 10 grind, except to
see that work made of Portland CO.
ment Is properly done. He does not
sell cement He stated that my propo-
sitions were excellent, that the speci-
ficatlons IL followed would make a
good pavement and an inspector
would be sent here 10 work in con-
junction with your city engineer If
desired, to see that the work was put
in according to specifications. Fur
