People around Artesia are much
wrought up over a crime commit
ted there Wednesday night. Jose j.
menez being the guilty party. Jime-
nez secured admission to a Mexican
home, locked the mother and one
daughter in an inner room, telling
them the house was surrounded and
that they would be instantly killed
if they tried to get out and that he
would kill them if they made any
noise. He then ravished a young
girl belonging to the same family.
Later he made his escape stealing
a horse and saddle from a Mr.. Wiles,
OF Artesia, and going in the direc-
ton of Hope. The deputy sheriff
Of Artesia trailed him until he eros
sed the Penasco, when, night COM
ing on, he lost the trail. Sheriff
Hewitt left Thursday to join in the
chase and has not yet returned. 1t
is supposed now that the wretch
is somewhere in the Guadalupes and

N. M. c. Store House Burned

N. M. c. Store House Burned
The New Mexico Central store
house, which contained also the shop
offices and books, and the water
tank at this place were destroyed
by fire last week.
The fire started in the waste in
the store room and gained headway
with such a rush that only a desk
and table and some papers were saw
ed from the Offices.
The loss is quite heavy, estimated
at $1,000. Two cars of cement ha,
been recently put in the store house.
There is insurance to cover about
half the loss.
Before the tank had fallen the
heads Of the departments were get
ting ready to rebuild it. There hap
pened to be bridge timbers in the
yard that will answer the purpose
and work on the tank is going fore
ward rapidly.
The road will get water from the
Southwestern at Torrance, and here
shift can be made to fill tanks by
direct pressure until the new tank is
completed.
The store house and offices will
be rebuilt after the tank is compile
ted.

their cause
Some New York papers were
charged with having caused the
SpaniSh-American war. and also
charged with the death OF President
Mckinley as an accessory before the
fact. AS to the truth of these we
will not admit. but the people have
the same "in their craw" and it has
not been extracted as yet.
Hearst, Brisbane & Co. publications
were not loyal prior to our entry in

very large degree. They were not

~ is to LET Hearst, Brisbane & Co.
fight their own battle. and not at
tempt t o pull chestnuts out of the
fire. for you might get burnt-Wag-
