The board having been informed that
in several places the roadbed In the
Cameno Real between Las Cruces and

almost impassable and feeling the im
portance of keeping this highway in a
good state of repairs, they adopted
resolutions to be presented to the board
of county commissioners requesting
them to confine the expenditure of all

of the Cameno Real. It is believed
that a mile or two of repair work wilt
put the road In condition for traffic to
move between Las Cruces and the Texas

formed a company to investigate the
oil fields of Camp City, and they be
came so impressed with the outlook that
they filed on 1200 acres of the lands,
which in their opinion would be in the
heart of the oil zone. From the latest
reports given in The Herald, they are
well satisfied with their action and
their faith In the proposition is much
strengthened.

there are a number of experts in the
field, some being representatives of the

lege days and was repulsed, and was

Underwood that remains unpaid and de-
cides to ask him for the $2,000 he needs.
Mrs. Jeffries, Sr prepares for a great
reception at her home. Mrs. Jeffries,

PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR FRUIT CROP.
Orchard at lias Cruces Heavily Laden
"With JTounjC Fruit Cold Bid
Xo Damage.
Las Cruces, X. M., April 28. The
Mesilla valley this year will have one of
Its banner fruit and vegetable crops, no
material loss having been sustained
thus far from frost or cold.
The records show that there has been
no damaging frost after April 25, so ;
there is no likelihood of any future
damage from this source to this year's
crop.
The trees of all kinds of fruits are
heavily laden with fruit and it will be
necessary to pull off from one-fifth to
one-third of the fruit now formed to
protect the trees and keep them from

The records of the past few days i

People now arrived in quick succes

came in voices were hushed, and on
j every side one heard the whisper:
"There's Judge Brewster, the fa
mous lawyer."
There was a general craning of
necks to catch a glimpse of the emi
nent jurist. whose brilliant address to
the jury in a recent cause celebre
had saved an innocent man from the
electric chair.
Richard Brewster was a fine ex
ample of the old school statesman
lawyer of the Henry Clay type He
belonged to that small class of public
men who are independent of all
coteries, whose only ambition is to
serve their country well, who know
no other duty than that dictated by
their oath and conscience. A bril
liant and forceful orator, there was
no office in the gift of the nation that
might not have been his for the ask
ing, but he had no taste for politics.
After serving with honor for some
years on the bench he retired into
private practice, and thereafter his
name became one to conjure with in
the law courts, By sheer power of
his matchless oratory and unanswer
able logic he won case after case for
his clients and it Is a tribute to his
name to record the plain .fact that in
all his career he never championed a
cause of which he need be ashamed. '
Powerful financial interests had at
tempted to secure his services by of
fers of princely retainers, but with
out success. He fought the trusts bit
terly every time he found them op
pressing his profession.
Alicia advanced with extended hand.
"This is indeed kind, judge," she ex-
elAimed with a gracious smile. "1
hardly dared hope that my poor muai
calc would be so honored."
The old lawyer smiled good-humor-dly
as he replied gallantly:

Judge J- M. Goggin, representing th
Interveners in the original suit, asked
the court for a definition of the mini

tract, but judge Maxey held that that
was a point to be determined between
the city and the watercompany.

The suppleanentary report was made
at 30 ociock after a final .consultation
had been held between the attorneys
and the master. The reoort was then
handed to judge Maxey and attorney f
W. H. Burges. representing the water !
company, stated to the court in a brief
resume of the report, that the water
company was willing to accept the find
ings of fact In the report and to do
everything poesible to carry out the
recommendations made by the master
looking toward supplying the citv with
a sufficiency of water. City attorney
Coldwell. representing the city, also
spoke, stating that the city, while It
did not wish to take the position that it
acr-epted the report as it stood, was
willing to accept the master's report as ,
a basis of agreement between the city I

Alicia turned to greet a new arrival
and the lawyer continued chatting
"with his host.
"I suppose you'll take a rest now,
after your splendid victory," said the
banker.
Judge Brewster shook his head
dubiously.
"No, sir, we lawyers never rest.
We can't. No sooner is one case dis
posed of than another crops up to
claim our attention. The trouble with
this country is that we have too
much law. If I were to be guilty of
an epigram I would say that the coun
try has so much law that it is prac
tically lawless."
"So you're preparing another case,
eh?" said Mr. Jeffries, interested.
"What is it a secret?"
"Oh, no!" answered the lawyer,
"the newspapers will be full of it in
a day or two. We are going to bring
suit against the city. It's really a
test case that should interest every
citizen; a protest against the high
handed actions of the police."
The banker elevated his eyebrows.
"Indeed," he exclaimed. "What
have the police been doing now?"
The lawyer looked at his client in
surprise.
"Why, my dear sir, you must have
j seen by the papers what's been going
on in our city of late. The papers
have been full of it Police brutality,
illegal arrests, assaults in station
houses, star-chamber methods that
would disgrace the middle ages. A
state of affairs exists to-day in the
city of New York which is inconceiv
able. Here we are living in a civil
ized country, every man's liberty is
guaranteed by the constitution, yet
citizens, as they walk our streets, are
in greater peril than the inhabitants
of terror-stricken Russia. Take a po
lice official of Capt. Clinton's type.
His only notion of the law is brute
force and the night stick. A bully by
nature, a man of the coarsest instincts
and enormous phjsical strength, he
j loves to play the tyrant. In his pre
cinct he poses as a kind of czar and
fondly imagines he has the powrer to
administer the law itself. By his
brow-beating tactics, intolerable un
der Anglo-Saxon government, he is
turning our police force intoa gang
of ruffians who have the city terror
Btricken. In order to further his polit
ical ambitions he stops at nothing.
He lets the guilty escape when influ
ence he can't resist is brought to
bear, but in order to keep up his rec
ord with the department he makes ar
rests without the slightest justifica
tion. To secure convictions he manu
factures, with the aid of his detec
tives, all kinds of perjured evidence.
To paraphrase a well-known saying,
his motto is: 'Convict honestly, if
yeu can but convict.' "

that they wish the" approval of the
court, and I will not hesitate to sign
my approval.
"After that, the case goes out of the
court." '

The resolution commending mayor
Sweeney was as follows:
"Whereas, By his own will, but to
the regret of his fellow citizens, in the
middle of his second term and at the
very zenith of his usefulness, the Hon.
Joseph U. Sweeney has severed his of
ficial connection with the city of El
Paso and ended for the present, an of
ficial career equallj- productive 0f pub
lic advantage and of private honor,
thej, who have been his associates, to
the measure of their abilities, his as
sistants, should give expression to the
emotions which his retirement has
aroused not only in their bosoms, but in
that of every citizen "who has 'mind" to
perceive and soul to appreciate disin
terested worth in a servant of the peo
ple. 'Therefore, be it resolved by the city
council of the city of El Paso, that in
our own name and in that of fellow
citizens whose representatives we are,
we thank him for his inestimable but
not unappreciated labors, and assure
him that well we know that his achieve
ments are ripened grain, the product of
a character formed and fashioned for
the service of mankind.
"That his name and fame are imper
ishably graven on the tablets of our
municipal history-, and that so long
as they shall be preserved for the in
struction of our posterity. It will never
be forgotten-, that under his guidance.
El Paso took Its position as a city of ;
the land. That city as a whole is a !
memorial of his services and its growth
in the years to come will bear testi
mony to the magnitude of the labors
by which that growth was facilitated
and insured.
"Passed and approved this 2Sth day
of April, A, D., 1910."
