leans will pay the death penalty,

of American citizens at Columbus
the night Of the Villa raid, March
Q. The structure stands in the
northwest corner Of the r
Jail yard, the platform on which
the prisoners and attendants will
stand being flush with the top
of the walls, which are not more
than ten feet high. A board en-
closure will be run around the
top Of the walls, which will cut
off all view Of the hanging except
to those witnesses who will be per-
mitted to be present, and who will
stand just in front of the small
tower on the southwest corner. The
prisoners will be confined in the
cell block, which almost touches
the gallows at the corners, and at
the farthest, will not have more
than twenty feet to walk. Their
ascent to the platform will be at
an easy angle up a broad stairway
which will permit their attendants
to support them on both sides. The
trap doors are cut from the edge
Of the platform and swing on
hinges to a depth of about two
and one-half feet. They drop down
from the end, like the jaws Of some
giant Moloch. Two prisoners will
be hung at one time, and as they
stand waiting for the drop, they
will be within arms reach Of one
another.
A strong rope is tied to the cor
ner supports and passes cross the
Rallows under the doors and over
a small block in the middle. The
'heriff will have just enough room
to stand between the two men. as
he cuts the rope with an ak, there

cutions must be witnessed by TWEEN

sheriff and whose names must be

der. The ruins of the Commercial
Hotel and other stores DESTROYED
during the raid have almost all
been cleared away, and the cheap
shanties of boomer business stand
in the unlovely nakedness amid the
charred ruins.
And the camp has grown. South
Of the old camp of the Thirteenth
cavalry, and all about it, are camps
of cavalry and infantry and artil-
lery. West of the town there are
tents from the small rocky hill that
figured in the Villa raid for a mile
or more, stretching over the par
ade ground, where the raiders
horses, were held, over the ground
where Major Thompson hit the re-
treating Mexicans. At the south
end of the camp is the New Mexico
regiment and battery.
The New Mexico troops are ra-
pidly rounding into shape. Just
now examinations are being held
preparatory to being mustered into
the United Service. The recruits
are coming into camp daily and are
being outfitted.

one. Every man is doing his best

In this issue will appear the an
n|ouncement of Mr.. James S. Field
er as a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the office of
District Attorney for the Sixth Ju-
dicial District, which embraces the
counties of Luna and Grant.
Mr.. Fielder has resided and prac-
ticed law in Grant and Luna coun-
ties for twenty eve years, and his
ability as a lawyer. both civil and
criminal, is well known TO all the
old residents of southern New
Mexico, and we may say, of the
entire state; but he is best known
to the judges before whom he has
met in combat in the legal arena
and those with whom he has been
associated in the trial of causes.
II is from these gentlemen that Mr..
Fielder gets the highest praise as
a lawyer; and we believe that il
is generally agreed by those who
know Mr.. Fielder'S record as "a
lawyer, that Mr.. Fielder, especially
as a criminal lawyer. has very few
equals in the state. We believe
that all of his brother lawyers
readily affirm this. MIR. Fielder
came to Deming in 1884 and stu
died law in the office Of his ia
Their, Herbert Fielder. Later he
was admitted to the bar and Joined
his older brother, Idus l.. Fielder,
in the practice of law at Silver
City, where he remained for seven
teen years, coming to Deming at
the division Of Grant county, since
which time he has resided here.
We know there is not a blot on
Mr.. Fielder's standing as a lawyer,
nor his integrity as a man. He is
II of the few whose integrity and
devotion to his clients excites the
admiration even of his enemies.
Mr.. Fielder says: 1T is hard
~ possible for me TO realize that
twenty sever years have flown,
since |, a green boy, got off the
train one night at Deming and be-
gan studying law the next day in
the office of my father. Those
years seem to have slipped by as
rapidly as a dream, yet they have
been years, and many of them
charged with thrilling events. and
solemn realities. In looking back
upon them they sometimes appear
as mysterious and unreal as the
place where the earth and sky meet
IN the distance. In those early
days | thought it was fine fun to
walk out several miles all alone
and shoot jackrabhits, and make
speeches to the mesquite bushes.
imagining that they were the jur
ors whom | might address in later
years.
Il am a candidate for the office
Of District Attorney because |
want the office, and think | can
discharge the duties of the office
to the satisfaction Of the people of
the Sixth Judicial District"
We feel certain that, If nominal
ed and elected Mr.. Fielder will
discharge the duties of the office
with the same industry, ability and
integrity that has always charac-
terized him as a lawyer, for more
han twenty-five years Of active
practice in New Mexico.

English Beer Output Cut;
Oregon Hop Market Affected

Portland = The export demand for
hops is not going to be as much of
factor in the coming season as in past
years, unless the war is brought to a
close, as production of beer in England
is to be limited
Word has been received from Lon
don that arrangements have been made
between the British government and
the Brewers society to reduce the
beer output from April l, 1916, by %
per cent of the output of the year
ended September 80, 1914. The aim
of this restriction is to reduce the inn
portation of brewing materials by
33 1-3 per cent, though no direct steps
VIII be taken to restrict the importa-
ton of materials
At the moment there is very good
market at all points on the Coast, and
prices are, if anything, steadier than
last week.
The Furnish crop of 1876 bales at
Reedville was bought by Ralph E.
Williams at 10a cents. Offers as high
as LII cents were made for good Ore

The Chamberlain lot of 126 bales at

at IL cents are going untitled. Only
five crops remain unsold in the Yakims

dren- After tea he stepped on to the
platform and announced. with beam

That did it Instantly every eye was
fixed on him.
First OF all, the old man lay down
on the platform Then one man came
forward and tried in vain to lift him.
Two others came to his aid. and be
tween them they raised the squire
who was rather portly-
The actions were meant TO represent

How to Heal Itching,
Burning Skin Diseases

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching. burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar
of resinol ointment and cake Of res
mol soap These are not at all expen-
sive With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened- Dry very
gently. spread on thin layer Of the
resinol ointment, and cover with g
light bandage-if necessary to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stop with the first
treatment, and the skin soon becomes
clear and healthy again--Adv.
