BRAKEMAN MURDERED
NEAR WILMA


G. c. Stevenson, a we'll known
brakeman on the Ell Paso-Tucson
division of the Southern Pacific rail-
road was instantly killed Monday
evening about $3.50 o'clock when he
was shot in the throat by Mexicans
whom he acrossed for riding in an
empty ore car at Ladim station, in
Grant county a short distance from
wilma.
According to reports, Stevenson
was braking on the rear end of the
freight train and was stepping onto
an ore car from a refrigerator car
when four Mexicans who were riding
in the former, yelled at him to stop
and not come near them. Stevenson,
with a sense of duty leaped into the
car and was instantly shot by one Of
the men, the bullet entering his neck
and penetrating into his spine, death
coming instantly.
The front brakeman hearing tho
revolver shots rushed to the scene and
shot at the eMxicans as they leaped
from the moving train.
The body of Mr.. Stevenson was
taken into Deming and word sent to
both Lordsburg and Separ of the af-
fair. Posses were organized at all
places along the line and a thorough
search made of the country in and
around Wilma and Ladim.
George Stephenson was well known
here having been employed by the
Southern Pacific company for about
four years. He and his wife lived in
Ell Paso, Texas. The tragic killing Of
the man, who was liked by all who
knew him, cast general feeling OF
depression over the railroad boys and
his many friends here.

the cement which held together tho
state structure of Austro-Hungary.
The heir apparent, Archduke Karl
Franz Joseph, has assumed the guild

DOES THRIFT ALONE MAKE YOU
RICH?

Arnold Bennett, the distinguished
British essayist, says in the December
lumber Of the Woman's Home Com
panion:
'There are thousands and tens of
thousands Of such excellent persons in
America and Europe and other less
fortunate parts Of the planet. Their
chief boast and satisfaction is that
they have something up their sleeve,
or, to put it differently, an umbrella
neatly folded and ready to open for a
rainy day. Look at them in the mass,
and ask yourself whether sincerely
you can call them rich in any decent
meaning Of the term. Do they think
rich, do they act rich, do they smile
rich1 They do not. They are not
rich. They have not even the merit
Of being openly poor. They are Meth
er one thing nor the other. They are
the cautious ones, self-denying and
secretly envious.
"Mind, I do not object to thrifty
habits. Positively, I practice them. I
deem them a proper item in existence.
All I say is that thrifty habits alone
never did and never will make any,
body truly rich, and that if they be-
come the main interest OF life, their
influence is apt to be narrowing, des-
sicating, and impoverishing.'
