A Big Catch.

For the capture Of Mail Robber
Roy Gardner, Postal Clerk Herman
F. Inderlied deserves more than ord
mary commentator and reward
Gardner was a desperate OF the
James-Younger-Tracy type. He had
been arrested for a mail robbery. had
been convicted and was on his way
to NcNeill Island for imprisonment.
He had boosted that he would escape
from his custodians-had made the
boast to them-and he made his
boast good In q most daring fashion.
Undoubtedly he would have killed
any man who tried to interfere with
his escape. Success Of his escape
would have been not only a failure
Of Justice but a direct encouragement
to others to commit crimes and at
tempt to escape from officers. Inder-
lied should be given his reward
promptly and whatever other recog-
milton is proper in the line Of promo
ton. 1t Is too bad that the officers
from whom Gardner escaped cannot
be made to pay a part Of the re-
ward.

SANDOVAL

Indictment in the case OF Santiago
Gurule was returned with nine others
by the Sandoval county grand jury,
which recently wound up a record
three day session at the court house
at BeBrnalillo. Gurule was charged
with the murder of his wife, a school
teacher at Corrales, on March /.
Gurule is an Albuquerque rancher,
who lived at 1910 North First street.
When Ire was arrested for tie murd-
or of his wife on the day following
'hc tragic event, he offered as his
defense that he had found another
man with her. He waived prelimin-
ary hearing, and on March ) was
bound over to the grand jury Tor
5000, which he failed to furnish.
THIS was the most importans case
which the grand jury considered in
It's thice day session. 1t disposed of
p cases altogether, returning 10 true
bills, and II no bills. Warrants for
the arrest of the men indicted were
mailed to the sheriff OF SarGoyal
county by the clerk of the court.

rorations. It has been established that
1T least two-thirds Of the counties
in the State can not operate their
schools on a ten (l0) mill levy, it IS
a state interference with local COM
munitv rights and it will tend to fur
'ther decrease the pay Of teachers who
already receive too little, curtail the
construction OF new school buildings
and cut down seven to min months
school terms to four and six months.
From every point OF view 1t IS a
step backwards and should be decisive
ly defeated.
Amendment No. 9 is to regulate the
manner in which city, town or village
Indebtedness may be created. 1t pro-
vides for a vote authorizing the crea-
ton Of such debts. It is a good re-
aulation and should be approved.
Amendment No. 10 provides a man

tcndeuts may be reelected as long
as the people desire to retain them
removing the two term limitation now
in effect.
Amendment No. II provides for the
valuation of the S2,O00000O0 highway

gram so greatly needed by the live
