EL Paso Real Estate Man,
1 Indicted -at Albuquerque,
Says It Is a "Scheme."
Friday afternoon, scheduled to come up
before judge Dan M. Jackson Saturday
morning, was postponed until 2 oclock
Saturday afternoon. The postponement
was made in order to allow officials of
Albuquerque to attend the hearing.
Mr. Moeller avers In his petition that
an alleged indictment charging him
with obtaining money under false
pretenses, alleges that the offence with
which he is charged was committed on
April 15, 1910 and that he was not in
Albuquerque then or ever, but has al
ways been a resident of Texas, at least
for the past 20 years. He denies any
connection with the affair.
Mr. Moeller, a local real estate dealer,
was arrested here Friday afternoon on
an indictment, returned by the grand
jury of Albuquerque. He is opposing
the effort on the part of the New Mex
ico officials to have him extradited.
Friday afternoon; through his attor
neys, Mr. Moeller filed a habeas corpus
proceeding before judge Dan M. Jack
son, of the 34th district court.
Deputy sheriff R. L. Burtless, of Albu
querque, is here with a governor's war
rant for Mr. Moeller.
, Mr. Moeller together with Jack Hap
per, A. Krakauer and W. B. Latta,
form a company known as the Mesilla
Valley Land & Improvement company.
The company owns a, tract of land lo
cated near Albuquerque. Mr. Moeller is
the secretary and treasurer of the com-
The hearing on the habeas corpus
proceeding filed by "William Moeller j it is saj stands indicted jointly with
pany. The charges brought against Mr.
Moeller grew out of the sales of a part
of the New Mexico tract.
Moeller Blames Agent,
According to Mr. Moeller. T. W. New
man. not related, it is said, to any of
the Newmans or iii .rasa was an agent
of the Mesilla company.'The governor's
warrant also includes Newman, who,
Atr. Moeller.
"I was never in Albuquerque in con
nection with the land." declared Mr.
Moeller. "I know nothing about the
case. I have nothing to do with it. The
agent just got the money and skipped
out."
"Blackmail." Says Counsel.
T. M Jones, who personally repre
sented Mr. Moeller before judge Jack
son Friday afternoon, stated: "There
is absolutely nothing to this case. The
agent just sold the lots and skipped
with something like $700. I was au
thorized by the Mesilla Valley Land &
Improvement company to write those
persons who bought lots, stating that
either deeds would be given them or
the money, which they paid, would be
returned.
"This is nothing but a blackmailing
scheme," Mr. Jones declared, turning
to judge Jackson. "These people just
want to get money out of Mr. Moeller.
I have a letter here that explains
everything. It explains the entire mat
ter." I,etter from Land Buyer.
A copy of the letter which Mr. Jones
read, and which he stated threw a
clear light on the transaction follows:
Albuquerque, New Mex., Oct. 30, 1013.
Jones & Jones.
Dear Sirs: "Will drop you a few lines
In regard to those lots we bought of
Newman. "We bought and paid for them
O. K. and when we demanded the deed.
he made an excuse to us like this.
He told us they were six blocks from
the center of town, and they are out
two miles, so judge Heacock says, out
in the hills, so you see how he made
false statements. And I will say to
you, or Mr. Moeller,' Newman was Mr.
Moeller's agent, for we got the con
tract, which Newman gave me, made
out between himself and Mr. Moeller,
and will say to you It was a fine one
between them, as he had a right to
employ a subagent.
Auk Return of Money.
Now those lots would not clear us
at all. What we want Is our money,
which Is only fair and just. We had
tofwork too hard for our money. It
was Mr. Moellerfs place to look to New
man for his money, and Newman to Bet
his payments from us, whereby we
paid him and can so show. Now as I
have often said, your people should
settle up. It would take about $700 to
get all up, then your record with us
and all others would be clear. All I
want is my money, which is fair and
just. This Is King and Redmond writ
ing you, so let us know. We Intend to
have settlement If we have to spend
more. All we want is for Mr. Moeller
or you, Jones & Jones, his agent, to
play half square and we will do the
rest. Mr. Redmond and myself bought
out Jackson's lot. which is ours, so
come on and meet us half way and we
will do the rest. I live at the Sturges
hotel. Mr. Redmond is a barber at
Combe's cafe. I know for sure New
man was Mr. Moeller's agent. Goodbye,
hoping to hear from you with results.
(Signed) J. P. King and C Redmond.

THE career of Oscar C Watson,
the new manager of the Denver
office of the Mutual Life In
surance company, of New York, one
of the most Important positions In the
gift of the company, Is exceedingly in
teresting, and should serve as an in
spiration to many young men who are
just starting at the bottom round of
the ladder.
The subject of this sketch Is a na
tive of Texas. When 13 years of age
he removed to New Mexico and set
tled at White Oaks, in Lincoln county.
After attending the Agricultural col
lege of New Mexico at Las Cruces,,he
took a business course in 1894 and
1S95 under Prof. Francis E. Lester,
and. In the month of May, 1895, in re
sponse to a letter received by his in
structor asking him to recommend one
of his pupils for- a position, young
Watson was sent to Albuquerque to
become the stenographer for S. H.
Newman, general agent of the Mutual
Life at that place. He reported for
work May 10. 1S95, having just passed
his 21st birthday on March 30. His sal
ary at that time was $40 a month, and
this was raised to $50 after six months
of service. - -
In 1897 he was transferred to Phoe
nix. Ariz., to become cashier in the
office of the district manager of the
company. He returned'to Albuquerque
in 189S as' superintendent of agents
under manager W. L. Hathaway, now
manager for the company at San Fran
cisco, but at that time manager for
New Mexico and Arizona. In 1900 he
took up a general insurance business
at Santa Fe, becoming a partner of
Paul Wunschmann, and in connection
therewith was district manager for the
company under Darby A. Day, now
manager at Chicago. In 1905 he pur
chased his partner's interest and es
tablished the firm of O. C. Watson &
Co., which still exists: Carl A. Bishop
being the owner.
He was appointed superintendent of
agents for the Mutual Life in August,
1907, for New Mexico and southern
Colorado, under E. R. Ferguson, when
the company placed a manager's office
at Pueblo; and, July 1, 1908, succeeded
Mr. Ferguson as manager at Pueblo
when the latter was transferred to
Charlotte, N. C, and later to Cincin
nati. During Mr. Watson's connection with
the Pueblo office, the business has
steadily increased, and an amount of
business in excess of the assigned
quota has been reported each year.
Doubtless, it is the company's recog
nition of this good work which has led
to Mr Watson's appointment to man
age the Denver office, which controls
the district enibracing Colorado and
Wyoming, and to supervise the busi
ness of the Pueblo office, -which will
be continued as a branch office.
Mr. Watson is a life member . of
Santa Fe lodge No. 460, B. P. O. E.: is
a past exalted ruler of that lodge, and
a member of the grand lodge. He -was
a delegate to the grand lodge meet
ings at Denver In 1906, Los Angeles in
1909, and Portland In 1912. He is also
a member of Pueblo lodge No. 17, A. F.
& A. M. Pueblo chapter No. 3. R A. M..
and Pueblo commandery No. 3, Knights
i Templar. As a member of the Pueblo
Commerce club he has rendered valu
able service.
Mr. Watson was married at .Albu
querque, N. M., on Dec 15, 1897, to
Miss Lillian Hughes, daughter of sen
ator Thomas Hughes, the owner and
editor of the old Albuquerque Eve
ning Citizen. Mrs. Watson's moth
er still resides in Albuquerque.
One cannot peruse an account of any
man's progress without -wanting to
know the reason for it In this case,
it would seem to be because Mr. Wat
son is an every day sort of a man
whom any person can approach. In
deed, it is his fairness to all, and his
kindly judgment of allmatters, that
have given him' force and favor in his
environment. As a man, he makes
friends and holds them; as a manager,
he wins men for his agency and devel
ops as well as holds them. This has
been demonstrated clearly at Pueblo,
if we may quote Mr. Watson's state
ment that "the Pueblo agency organi
zation is not excelled by any office of
like size in the country." Mr. Watson
Is a born entertainer, as 'many of his
friends can attest who have enjoyed
his hospitality.
It would not be telling all if we
omitted to say that the territory from
which Mr. Watson has risen to prom
inence has produced 10 managers for
the Mutual Life, besides several oth
ers who occupy important places. The
district referred to comprises Colo
rado, New Mexico and Arizona, and at
different times has been managed by
offices located at El Paso, Albuquer
que and Pueblo.
The company has made a wise se
lection, and we expect Mr. Watson to
achieve even greater success as man
ager at Denver.
The appointment of Mr. Watson was
announced on Oct H, from New York,
by George T. Dexter, second vice
president, to become, effective Nov 1.
The Denver and Pueblo offices are
located in Gas and Electric building
and Central block, respectively.

RUSSIAN FUR TRADER
LIKES SILVER DOLLAR
St Petersburg. Russia. Nov. 1. The
ubiquitous American trader appears to
to have discavered a part at least of
norther Siberia, and to have made it
his own. So strong a hold In fact has
he secured upon the natives of that lit
tle known part of the world that
while the American silver dollar is
taken with avidity In trade, the Rus
sian trader who offers two Russian
roubles for the same amount of goods
is looked upon with suspicion.
Lieut Arbenlev, of the Rus
sian navy, who -was a member of the
Russian expedition which upon its ar
rival at St Michael, Alaska, a few
weeks ago, reported having found a
large body "Of land forming the caun-
terpart of Nova Zemlya, and enclos- j
iu nie xvciia aea, lit a uuuii uu iub
work of the expedition in 1912 Just
published, waxes humorous about the
American traders met with during the
vovage.
Wherever natives congregated, he
says, there stood the telltale log cabin,
whence silver dollars, American rifles
and canned goods were doled out in
return for the precious furs in which
the land abounds.
Lieut Arbenlev records a visit paid
to the Taimyr and Waigatch, the two
steamers of the expedition, when off
Tcheliuskin at the end of August 1912,
by Tunguz, a chieftain styled Bobrov
sky, which means beaver, who proudly
displayed a medal conferred upon him
by the president of the United States
for succoring the survivors of the
Jeanette Arctic expedition.
Cape Tcheliuskin, in Siberia. Is the
most northern point of the mainland of
Asia. Bennet island is the most north
ern member of the new Siberian group,
and lies about 600 mUes east from Cape
Tcheliuskin. The Jeanette was lost in
1881, at a point 100 miles east of Ben
net island after drifting in a west-north-westerly
direction for two years,
in 18S4 objects believed to have been
from the wreck of the Jeanette were
picked up on the southwest coast of
Greenland. It was upon the current
which conveyed these relics that Nan
sen relied in his expedition "with the
Fram during which he achieved his
farthest north in April, 1895.
