MANY OIL LOCATIONS
ja ARE BEING FILED ON

ESPECIAL coRREsPonDUHcE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Z Alamogordo, Nj NJ. April 12.-Due
to the large number of oil locations
that are being filed in the Tularosa
basin, the receipts last month at the
county clerks office were the greatest
f6rsany single month since the organ
ization of Otero county in 1898.
Probably 100000 acres of land have
been leased and located in the Tula-
rosa basin since the excitement start
ed about six weeks or two months ago.
County surveyor ]. E. Edgington to-
day stated that if locations keep up
at the present rate for ten days longer
there will not be any valley land in
the county left. Mr. Edgington says
that about forty-five miles southwest
of Alamogordo parties from Ell Paso
and Las Cruces have made locations
of the entire country and that all Of
the government land in that region
has been located. This land lies within
the vicinity of the w. w. Cox ranch,
where drilling is expected to be start
ed soon. ssa IsasN

NAVAJO HAS NO
CHOICE BETWEEN
ROPE AND PRISON
HoStin de ne Begay, Who
Murdered Wife, Ready to-
Plead Guilty to First Degree
Murder.

1t appeared to be a matter of utter
indifference to Hostin de ne Begay, a
Navajo of the Shiprock agency, San
Juan county, who appeared in the fed
eral district court at Santa Fe Satur-
day, whether he went to the gallows
or to the pcnitentiary for life.
The Indian showed a. willingness to
plead guilty to first degree murder,
but the court was unwilling to accept,
desiring to give him the same chance
for life he would have If he elected
to be tried. 1t was doubtful IL the
court would have any other choice
than to sentence him to death, if he
accepted the plea.
The Navajo, by going to trial would
have a chance for life-although 1t
would be life inside prison walls
even If he was found guilty of first
degree murder. A jury has the right
to recommend life Imprisonment in
stead of hanging for first degree muir
der, but it was questionable if the
court had the right to show clemency
in the absence of any recommends
ton.
The court was reluctant to permit
him to throw away the chance.
The court was willing, however, to
accept a plea of guilty to second de-
gree murder and the Indian was will
ing to plead. He was sentenced to
serve the remainder of his natural life
in the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
enworth, Kan.
The Indian killed his wife by beat
ing her on the head with rock
while he sat astride her. Three In
dian girls witnessed the murder. 1t
was said that he resented his wife's
objection to his alleged attentions to
another woman.
He afterward attempted to end his
own life by hitting himself in the
head with an axe. He was still suf-
fering from the self-inflicted wound
when he appeared in court. He was
unable to walk alone and bailiffs sup
ported him as he entered the room.

precautions to establish the fact of
the rebel leaders death. Official pho
tographs have been taken of the body
which has been viewed by many who
knew Zapata and dispositions have
been required from those taking part
in the battle, .H.
The body will be buried in the IA
patsta tomb at Tlaltizapan. Morelos
which was erected some Years ago to
receive the bodies Of ali those who
signed the zapatista covenant, known
as the "Plan of Alaya," in this tomb
are buried many rebel leaders who
have died during the last ten years,
including Eufemio Xapata. brother Of
the chieftain 1t consists of a great
stone pedestal, in the base of which
are a number of burial compartments.
Little is known of zapata's early
life except that he was born about
thirty-eight years ago. He began life
as a groom in the employ of Ignacio
De La Horre, nephew of the late Pres
ident Porfirio DiaZ, who owned one
of the largest estates in Morelos, He
became a revolutionist for the pur-
pose of securing reforms in the laws
pertaining to landed estates which
would favor the poems. but later his
fight against the government degen-
Grated into an indiscriminate slaugh-
ter of everyone except Zapatistas,

diers also lost thier lives.

There is money in butterflies. Miss
Ximena McGlashan, who combines
good looks with business ability. has
proven that, When she left normal
school and returned to her home at
Truckee, Calf, she made up her mind
she could not stand the humdrum of
school teaching. Butterflies solved
the problem for her. First she caught
specimens with net These she sold
at such prices to collectors and mu-
seums that she averaged $50 a week
for the first ten weeks. Then she
began breeding the beautiful winged
creatures and already has accumu-
lated comfortable fortune.

RUSE To TAKE

CAUSES DEATH
10y MORNING IovHs.. srto,A,,sAsro ~ms

Mexico City, April II (by the Asso-
ciated Press) Gen. Emiliano Zapata,
the rebel leader of southern Mexico,
news of whose death reached this
city yesterday, was killed Thursday
morning during an engagement be-
tween his troops and government SOL
diers who had by ruse entered his
camp at Hacienda Chinemeca. near
the village of Petlalcingo, Morelos.
The government soldiers, under the
command of Gen, Pablo Gonzales,
planned to capture the rebel chief and
pretended they Were a part of the
Fortieth regiment which had come to
join Zapata's forces. When Zapata
was asked to review the men he be-
came suspicious and took with him
large number of rebel troops This
prevented the carrying out of the
plan and resulted in a general fight.
Zapata fell with many of his follow
