 Bodies Mutilated.
 Ten Eyck had found these gory re- mains on the farther side of Lodge Trail bridge. Empty shells on the ground around them told of their re- sistance, but against the savage wave which swept over them the hap1ess men had had but little chance. Of all the forty-nine bodies only four be- sides those of Fetterman and Brown had been killed by bullets; the torture of slow death by arrows, hatchets and spears had been the lot of the rest.
 But if one story was told by the bodies collectively, those of F'etterman and Brown by themselves told yet an'- other. Each with a bullet wound in the left temple, and with the adjacent hair singed by powder, the remains of the two captains had been found side by side. They had often sworn that to capture by the Indians they would prefer suicide, and so, when their doom approached they had stood face to face and each had shot the other.
 The remainder thirty-twe of Fet- terman's men, including Lieutenant Grummond, were, with Ten Eyck' S return, still unaccounted for, and to those in the fort the terror which fill "a the night followed that awful De- cember day was unthinkable Of the efficient force of the garrison one fourth had been wiped out; fires gleaming in the darkness showed that the Indians were still in the neighbor- hood; guards were doubled and every man slept with his clothes on and his gun in his hand.

SANTA FE MEN "HOLLER"

The Associated Press dispatches are
containing an appeal from the train
men of the great Santa Fee system
to Senator Catron and others to use
their influence upon President Will
son and others in high authority to
prevent the big railroad strike. They
claim that their wages are not as
great as that of union men, therefore
they cannot afford to lose their jobs.
Scabs are never so valuable aS union
workmcn. but the FL Paso q South
western railroad will not be affected
if the government forces the railroads
to give their men the eight hour day
and time and a half for over time.
That is what the +. =. a. s. w. road
is already doing. The managers Of
this road are like Henry Ford, they
believe in paying the best possible
wages without being forced, therefore
they secure the best workmen possi-
BILE. Men we'll fed and well paid, who
are also treated as human beings will
pay their employers much more than
slaves who have to work every day
and every hour to keep soul and body
together. An engineer who works
only eight hours, sleeps eight hours
and plays eight hours is more alert
and much safer for the travelling pub
lie. If train can he taken safely TO
its destination in eight hours that has
heretofore been delayed from time to
time thus taking fourteen To sixteen
hours to turn the trick, it stands to
reason that while the railroads would
be working to their own interests they
would greatly increase the efficiency
of their trainmen--the men behind the
power that moves the worlds com

tion of the chair being allowed too
much power Of appointment. This
obstacle was overcome and the chair
appointed Messrs. Stanfill, VIM. Phipp
and Ira Livingston as a committee 20
nane the nine delegates and nine al.
ternates to the state convention.
The resolutions endorsed jefferson,
Jackson and Woodrow Wilson and
commended President Wilson on his
constructive legislation, claiming that
he had accomplished more during the
last four years than the republicans
did during their forty years in power.
They endorsed Gov. Mcdonald for his
economical administration, endorse the
state representatives and senator from
this county; also the efficient admin
istration Of the present county OIL
cials.
They condemned the republicans Of
the state legislature for the unseating
of enough democrats TO make two
thirds majority in that body in order
that they could pass republican meas
ures, especially the high salary bill,
over the governors veto.
They declared in favor of submis-
mission of prohibition to the voters
of the state Of New Mexico for state
wide prohibition.
j. NJ Carnahan was then called for
to make speech. He told the con
vention that he was glad to hear them
declare for statewide prohibition and
wished TO have the state representa-
tives and senate instructed to vote for
that when the opportunity presents
itself He plead with those who be-
lieved in true democratic principles to
vote solidly for the president, COVER
nor and state senator and representa-
tives. Each one needs the others as
Sistance and he would not handicap n
democratic governor by electing re-
publican legislature. When the demo-
cratic principles are at stake he would
haze them vote the ticket straight.
Other speeches were made and the
day was passed without much scrap
ping, but those who had things in
charge were organized to the teeth
and nothing could have prevailed to
alter the course as followed

NON-COMMISS|ONED Off.
Ger IS GIVEN TEN DAYS
FOR BEING DRUNK

Joseph G.. Eichler, a non-commis-
stoned officer formerly with Con-
necticutt regiment. arrived in Tucum-
carl Wednesday morning, hatless, pen
niless. watchless, but loaded with fire
water of some unknown brand. He
proceeded to tell our citizens that if
they didn't do IA he said his regiment
would come and get US. The city mar
shall was notified and arrested Mr.. sol
der man. Eichler said he would sue
the city for false Imprisonment. He
was left in the city bastile until the
next morning when he had sobered up.
He then seemed like a real nice chap.
His story, while possible, was not
hardly probable. He said he was given
an honorable discharge from his reg
iment at Nogales. He was given the
money with which to buy his return
ticket and pay other necessary ex-
penseS. That is the last he remem-
bers with the exception that he took
few drinks. the first ne had taken
in two years. He thinks now he was
doped. He said he boarded the train
and rode this far in Pullman. He
lost his watch, money, hat and nearly
every other thing of value, but he was
sure loaded for bear. The Judge
gave him ten days for drunkenness
and in the meantime communications
are being exchanged with officials at
Nogales tn see whether his story is
true or not.
After Eichler sobered up Thursday
morning he appeared to be a nice fell
low and it was hard for the Judge TO
pass sentence upon him, but old John
Barleycorn is no respecter of persons
and the law does not allow one drunk
turned loose and one fined for disobey-
ing the law.

BIT BY RATTLE LESNAKE

j. c. Barnett, father Of Mrs. Sam
Dismukes of this city, who lives near
San Jon, was bit by rattlesnake last
Monday evening, and it was feared for
a time that his life was in danger.
Mr.. Barnett was picking up some
maize heads preparatory to feeding
some stock. There were no weeds
or brush near the maize but he reached
down and the snake stuck his fangs
into his hand He could hardly shake
the reptile loose. He said he thought
his life was doomed so he took his
pocket knife and carved the snake
open. lie then buried his wound in
the fresh blood Of the snake. He went
to San Jon where the wound was treat
ed by physician and Mr.. DiSmukes
drove a car after him bringing him 70

WILSON TO
CONFER WITH $40
UN|ON|STS TO-DAY

Washington, u. c., Aug. l6.-Out
Of tho deadlock between the railroad
managers and the brotherhood leaders,
new proposal appeared today for n
special commission to consider not
only the present wage dispute but all
others in the future
While president Wilson, the man
ayers committee and the spokesmen
for the men awaited the arrival Of the
employers committee of Gao which is
expected here from New York tomor-
row for the next white house confer
cnce, administration officials and the
representatives Of the two sides con-
sidered the commission idea with de-
gree of seriousness which indicated IT
would come into the negotiations as
one of the next steps in the presidents
attempt To avert a nation wide strike.
Representatives of the railway man
ayers were favorable to the plan, in
principle, and administration officials
investigating its availability, found
that a. B. Garretson. spokesman for
the men. while member of the federal
industrial relations commission, made
report favoring such an idea as an
enlargement of the present federal
board of mediation and counciliaticn,
1t was realized on all hands, however,
that the proposal was merely in the
status of suggestion which must pass
the test at further conferences with
the president.
Meanwhile the situation remained
unchanged. with both sides hoping for
way out of the difficulty and no de-
velopments promised until tomorrow
when the meeting at the whitehouse
will be resumed.
After speaking tomorrow to the $40
representatives of the employees, presi-
dent Wilson may make public his re-
marks.

Of President Wilson to the Gi0 general
chairmen of the four brotherhoods of

Washington TO consider his proposals

largest in this part Of the country.
The finance committee is composed
of Messrs. Devor, Sandusky. Wofford
Street and Epps and these men will
name the permanent officers.
The papers around over the state
are advertising the fact that Tucum-
carl is waking up and will hold big
Cowboys Roundup. This means that
everybody must put their shoulder TO
the wheel and assist in this new ven
ture as it would by rather dsappoint-
ing TO have to back up or make a fiz-
zle Of the affair after it has been given
such a good boost.
There are no factions when Tucum-
carl is TO be advertised and pat where
she rightfully belong by entertaining
the surrounding country at three
days roundup. The cattlemen have
volunteered their support and the rest
of US will enjoy every thing of inter
est that can be put on the program by
