M. Price, Dies of Peritonitis. The young Boer teamster, who was stabbed bv A. M. Price, a cow boy, in a bawuv nouse at Magdalena on the 3rd inst. died at that place Monday night of peritonitis. The wounded man was doing nicely and seemed to be recovering from the effects of the cut under the care of his attending physician, Dr. Edwin Swisher, with no apparent chance of complications, when the latter had an urgent call from out west, to see a patient, and lor whom the wounded man was perfectly willing the doctor should leave him. And on Dr. Swisher s re turn on Tuesday from a hundred miles in the western part of the county, found that peritonitis had set in, and from which Salz tree had died Monday night.

Attorney Jas. d. v itch s office on the 28th or 2(Uh of the present month.

The admission to each of these at traction will bé 10 cents and a generous revenue is anticipated. Conductor P. J. Savage took an extra coach up to Magdalena yesterday morning expecting to attach it to his train down this morning for the accommodation of those who might want to come to the circus. There was such a demand for passage down yesterday, however, that it was necessary to bring the extra coach back on the return trip, and both ' nat and the regular coach were crowded. The extra coach went up again' this morn ing and returned well filled. HOW EXPERTS DIFFER The Industrial Advortiser Employs an Expert on the New Mexico Penitentiary Matter THE PEN IN DEBT TO BURSUM I So Says the Expert after Goinff Over ! the Whole Mutter With Very Oreat Cure The follcwingeditorial appear ed in a recent issue of the Santa i ,, , . , Fe New Mexican- 1 'or s,,e on'' snan of w,,rk The Industrial Advertiser, pub- i horsi'- Weight ' t l'Mil lished at Albuquerque, and organ 1 P""ls- I"'ll''IV of 11,11 V ls,,cr of the New Mexico Democracy, j rro.

But to make sure of its calculations, it submitted the entire report to Robert Dross, an expert account- ant of standing and reputation, i who has no interest in politics or . penitentiary matters one way or the other. The conclusions of Mr. Dross are interesting, even if they only show how figures can be made to tell anything by an expert and how even experts may differ over the same matter. Savs he: As requested by you in your i litter of yesterday's date, I have waded carefully through the rather lengthy report published in the Morning Journal of Mon day, the 2d instant, in the New Mexico penitentiary under 11. U. Bursum's administration, but as I have never seen the books my self, it is somewhat difficult, nay almost impossible to follow the different items intelligently, as no doubt a good many of them, if not all, could easily be explain ed bv Mr. Bursum. The whole report has the blush of venom plainly stamped on its face, and my experience in the profession has demonstrated the fact that there is hardly a set of books in the world but what an expert determined to find something suspicious, would not succeed. That the books were not kept in a strictly business like method is evidenced by the fact that Mr. Bursum found it necessary or advisable to pay the sum of $1,727 into the treasury after his con nection with the institution had ceased. But it strikes me for cibly that it is almost impossible and certainly incredible for such a vast amount of discrepancies to exist and for such a length of time, as a sane commission would have put a stop to such lax book keeping as charged within a very short time and would have in sisted on a business like method. "Your deduction, as a resume of the report showing an over payment on the part of Mr. Bur sum of $543.11, is in so far correct as it certainly tallies with the figures given in the report. You ought to have said $6,670.75, 'cash in the treasury,' instead of 'turned in cash.' You will, how ever, have to take into account the expert's remarks on the item of total disbursements, $453,618. 05, i. e., including those by vouchers and by methods contrary to statutes, which no doubt Mr. Bursum and the commissioners would and certainly should be able to satisfactorily explain." Is Bursum HonestP "All of the republican papers of the territory and nearly all the democratic papers have de clared their belief in the honesty and high purpose of Hon. Harry O. Bursum," says the Las Vegas Optic. Northern New Mexico Fair. At Las Vegas Sept. 25-27. Tickets on sale Sept 23-26 inclu sive at $6.25 for the round trip. Return limit Sept. 2'J. Taos. Jaquks, Santa Fe Agt. It is now known that the Boer who was stabbed in a Magdalena resort a few days ago was a young man named Salztree, a sheep harder, and that the man who did the deed was A. M. Price, a cowboy. Since Salztree's death Price has jumped his bond and Sheriff Baca is offering a re ward of $50 for his capture. LOCALS Hon. II. O.

Give him a call for anything in his line, and you will be pleased with results. I Fred Baldwin came to town j yesterday from his ranch in the Datils. Of course it is a mere i coincidence that Fred is hereon I circus dav. But, be that as it may, speaking oi me sanguin ! arv reports concerning Indian I activity in the western part ot j the county, he says that the 1 only evidence he saw of such l activity was a few Navajoes shearing sheep. 1 hat seems to extent of the ' le iust about the outbreak. Frank N. Farrarof Buffalo. N. Y., who will be pleasantly re membered by friends in Socorro as having spent some time here with his family two years ago, writes that Fred M. Denny died Sept. from the effects of an operation for appendicitis. Mr. Denny and family spent the winter in Socorro and left here only a few weeks ago. The afflicted ones have the keen sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this city. LARRAZOLO IS CALLED By the Unterrifiod Democracy of lerritoryrof NewIiMexico in Convention Assembled TO BE 1A: WILLING SACRIFICE Once for B-nU n by Hun. B. S.

A. Larrazulo of LasVegas to allow himself to be sacrificed. Mr. Larr.uohi was beaten for She honor of representing New Mexico in congress four year : ago l Hon. Bernard S. Rodey by nearly 10,000 votes. It goes ; without saying that he will be ; beaten this time bv Hon. W. II. j Andrews by ut least as many 1 votes, probably by more. The convention indulged in a j fierce oratorical battle over the ! iiiestion of statehood. There j was a majority and a minority committee report, but those in , favor ol jv.int statehood finally 1 triumphed by the decisive ma ; jority of 144 to 22.
