Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. 31.—Ex-
offlcio Tax Collector George Bravin
of this city today completed his de-
linquent tax list for the year 1910,
and the same shows a total of $176.50
for that year. It is safe to state at
this time that without a doubt Tomb-
stone has the smallest delinquent list
of any incorporated city in the new
state, and further speaks well for
Collector Bravin. Although there is
an increase over the list of last year,
the same being a little over $100, it
Is very evident that the amount will
be materially decreased by the time
delinquent notices are sent out by the
lector. ,

ANGORA MOTHER GOAT
ADOPTTD STRAY’ FAWN
■Special to The Timet.
Silver City, N. M„ Aug. 31.—A few
days ago a herd of Angora goats be-
longing to W. A. Heather, came in to
their pens with a young and beautiful
fawn following one of the old nannie
goats with a young kid.
The mother gmtf evinced great af-
fection for the nttle waif that had
probably been lost from its mother,
permitted it to share with her kid her
milk and took just as much care of
the youngster as she did of her own.
Mr. Heather had them brought into
to,wn, where he ran watrh over and
care for them better than on the
ranch.
He haa also brought into town a
herd of Angoras, which he intends to
exhibit at the San Antonio fair next
November, at which time the National
Mohair Growers' association will meet
tn annual convention. The attendance
at the convention Is expected to be
very large as the question of tariff on
mohair and other important matter!

than fifty railroads, and as it has an
exceptional opportunity to obtain this
kind of information, the results are
regarded as reliable. The data shows
that on 139,755 miles of line, or near-
ly 60 per cent of the total operated
mileage of the country, there were
9*7,790 employes April 30 last, as
compared with 1,069,570 employes on
197,671 miles of road April 30, 1910.
“It will be perceived,” says the bul-
letin, "that while the operated mile-
age of the railways covered had In-
creased during the year between April
30, 1910, and April'3U, 1911, by 2,000
miles, or 1.5 per cent, the men em-
ployed In operating the increased
mileage had decreased nearly 83,000,
or 7.6 per cent. That is, the number
of employes for every 100 miles fell
during the year from 777 to 707, or
9 per cent. For each 100 miles of
line the total number of employes
was less by seventy men In 1911 than
in 1910.”
he did by throwing him, and life was
then extinct In the boy.
No one will ever know how it hap-
pened. Some thing the boy was
twirling the lariat to throw when it
caught around his neck, and some-
thing scaring the horse at the time
he Jumped, and the boy, not expecting
the Jump and being busy untangling \
the rope, fell with the rope around
his neck. Others think that the
horse threw him and accidentally the
rope caught around his neck as he
was falling. The first seems the
more probable of the two ways, as
the last might nm happen once In
a thousand times. He was burled at
Causey Monday afternoon.

San Simon PooiSe Continue to Tap

Specie! to The Timet
' Dallas. Tex., Aug. 31.—With one
exception, every railroad in Texas has
signed what is known as the "Liver-
pool agreement" for validation ot cot-
ton bills of lading and cotton bus-
iness of this season will be handled
under the terms provided therein.
The one exception is the Texas & Pa-
cific Every other line in the state Is
in the agreement. A dispatch from
Houston, published In the News of
Saturday morning, stated that the
Gould lines had signed, but this was
tru,- only in so far as it applied to
the International & Great Northern,
v hich road “came In" Saturday after
a conference with the Sunset-Central
officials at Houston.
The Texas & Pacific may enter the
agreement before the end of the
week. The matter will be decided
by N. M. Leach, general traffic man-
ager, who is now in Colorado.
• Conditions on the Texas & Pacific
differ from those on the International
& Great Northern. Many of the cot-
ton men whose business Is handled by
the former road do not need the fi-
nancial assistance of the New Y’ork
banks, who dictated the agreement
referred to. Smaller cotton concerns,
requiring Inoro aid from the eastern
banks in handling the crop, cannol
assume such an independent attitude.
Thus the Texas & Pacific, drawing a
large shnre of Its cotton patronage
from the large concerns, may not be
obliged to come Into the agreement.
The International s business comen
largely' from cotton men who are not
in a position to take this attitude.
Briefly, the “Liverpool system" pro-
tides that the cotton must bo actual-
ly in the possession of the carrier
before the bill of lading can issue and
copies of these bills of lading, duly
validated, must be sent to a clearing
house in New York city. The copy
of the bill of lading would reach New
York at about the same time that
the draft for the amount due on the
cotton would arrive and then be
stamped by the clearing house and
forwarded to $he Liverpool purchas-
er, showing that the cotton was ac-
tually ell route. The system w'as de-
vised with a view to preventing a re-
currence of the bill of lading frauds
which took place previously, due to
the securing of money on fraudulent
bills of lading.
The plan has mot with determined
opposition on the part of both the
shippers and carriers of the south,
but it was so strongly backed that
there Was little choice but to come
in. Most of the roads did this with
little hesitation. Those who do, it
is said, will Incur the displeasure of
New York banking circles to an ex-
tent that may prove unpleasant In
the event they try to borrow money
in the east. Cotton men generally
view the plan as a reflection upon
the south’s reputation for square
dealing, and while most of them are
respecting the agreement. It is in a
spirit of unwillingness.
PRELIMINARIES PERFECTED

Special to 'The Timet.
Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 31.—Prepara-
tory work continues in the vicinity
of Benson by the contractors, accord-
ing to R. II. Jones, head of the en-
gineering department of the South-
western extension, who was tn the
city yesterday. lie states that as-
semblylng of equipment, supplies,
materials and men Is,well under way
and actual construction on a large
scale is a matter of but a few days
although few camps have as yet been
organized and gone on the work. At
present trains are arriving every day
at Benson and Fairbank from east-
ern points, and the final maps have
b“en prepared and are ready for dis-
tribution as fast as possible.
! In order that the legal status of
I the contractors, MaeArthur Brothers
I company, might be satisfactorily es-
fYabllshed in Arizona, a certified copy
| of Us amended articles of incorpora-
tion, as filed in New Jersey, was left
for record in the county recorder’s
office, as was an appointment of
agent, naming Frank K. Curley as
the person upon whom all notices and
papers may be served on behalf of
the company, which would make it
appear that Mr. Curley is to be the
attorney for the company In all mat- j
ters w here legal council may be I
needed.
Another matter to be settled jeg-
terdav was the appointment of Dr.
C. A. Schrader as head of the medical
department on the wo4t that has
been contracted for. Rowland P
Stanley, who arrived yesterday from
Mazzanola, Colo., will be the as-
sistant of Dr. Schrader.
REDUCTION OF EMPLOYES
BY THE RAILWAYS
More Tlinn 81,000 Men Dropped Dur-
ing the Past Year.
Special to The Timet.
Chicago, Aug. 21.—Statistics com-
plied by the bureau of railway eco-
nomics announced today that rail-
roads representing about 6ft per cent
of the total operated mileage of the
country reduced the number of their
emploves by 81.780 between April 30.
1910.'and April 30. 1911. If the
same conditions prevailed on other
line* not reporting »o the ^bureau,
rail 'carriers throughout the United
States, it Is figured, had 136.200 few-
er workers April 30 last than they
did on the same date in 3910 Plac-
ing the annual income tif the aver;
age railroad worker at $700 a year,
the total estimated out in working
forces represents a slash In the pay
rolls of the carriers of $9.'.410.000 for
one year. Since the returns were
compiled by the bureau many of tho
railroads hava adopted a drastic re-
trenchment policy, and the totals up
to dale. It Is believed, would be sub-
stantially higher than those enumer-
ated.

SLAYER O EKIGORE
HELD WITHOUT HA1I1
Spertot to The 7’iuic*.
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 51. James A.
(“Chippy") Taylor was held yester-
day to the grand jury, without ball,
on the charge of murdering Guy 0.
Kilgore one week ago this morning-
The preliminary examination which
took place before Judge Parker was a
rather formal proceeding Only two
witnesses were examined. L. W.
Morgan, one of the eye witnesses of
the shooting, and Dr. O. 10. I’luth,
who conduete dthe autopsy.
The defendant was represented by
Attorney F. Stltekmeyer, who did
not disclose the nature of the defense,
by any questions asked the witnesses.
No testimony was offered in behalf
of the accused.
Mention was made of a letter that
Taylor had written to his wife, while
she was at Tucson last Anrll, advls-
her to secure money by disreputable
means. 'JJJils letter Is in the posses-
sion of the district attorney’s office,
it having been secured from Mrs.
Taylor on the day of the tragedy. Mr.
Struekmeyer asked permission to sen
it and District Attorney Bullard told
him that he would be furnished a copy
of it.
It is evidently the purpose of the
defense to show that the letter was
written during a period of one of the
frequent quarrels between Taylor and
his wife, and that it was Intende d as
an Insult to her rather than as a sug-
gestion that she enter upon a life of
shame.
Presumably the defense will he
based chiefly on the theory of Insan-
ity, as many of the acquaintances of
Taylor have plated that for years they
believed him to be Irresponsible, and
of a homicidal tendency.

"To his excellency, th<» governor,
(), B. Colquitt. Petition.
“Whereas, there is now pending
before you a plea for the coni muta-
tion of sentence of one Leon Mar-
tinez, lawfully tried and convicted it'
the district court of Reeves county,
at Pecos, Tex., and there sentenced to
be hanged by the nock until dead,
and
“Whereas, there can be rio doubt
of the guilt, of the defendant, or of
the malicious nature of his offense
and Its horrible mode of execution,
and
"Believing all the laws of Justice
demand in- execution, believing in
view of tbe unusual self-control man-
ifested by the people of Reeves coun-
ty upon the discovery of the crime
and during defendant’s trial, that a
commutation of the sentence would
ne a direct affront to the respeet for
the law as niv>wn by those citizens;
believing that to maintain any popu-
lar regard for the dignity or the ma-
jesty of the law and the moral sup-
port of the courts by the people In
the future the penalty must be in-
flicted. i
“We, the undersigned citizens of
the great eommonw-alih of Texas,
petition you, not as avengers lustful
for human blood, not as wastrels ani-
mated by prejudice of race; but as
members of the human family ask-
I lag that Justice be done, that the
honor of our courts be vindicated,
that the law-abiding attitude of our
cltlxeftnhlp be respected. In token

natures, firm In the belief that «he

GALLUP OIL ITKLDS »|

special !>> Time*.
Gallup, T Ms, Aug. 31.* The well-
that lias bben drilled in the Gallup"
j oil fields by the Brock brothers cot.-— »
j tlnues to discharge gas, ami indicates* *”
that great-volumes <»f gas are pent upX'ERS
at the bottom of the well. The bailer
when let down Into the well always-—The
| comes up full of oil. But when thessocia-
' pressure of tbe water exceeds lhat;ording
! of the oil and gas it w ill hold the oil by it9
; back in the oil sand as long as this*8 city,
water remains in the hole, and above
the vein of oil sand. Water drives'nt be-
j all light oils before it or h*»b1svit in* gov-
« lo ck, because its surface tension and^GbP*
j pressure is nearly twice that of lighp'hange
oils. If the initial gas pressure on the,r^R**H
oil column in the well plus the frac-°^ °P* ]
tlon of the water 4ml the well casing,
the gas will blow the contents of tb'?.
j well out and the result will be an
gusher. This requires an Intial pres-
sure of over 140 pounds to the square #
; Inch for each 1,000 feet, a pressuro^ -**1 •
not reached by the gas in many fields.
, Therefore from a general computa-
tlon of existing data, II Is generally
• '•needed that the prospect of this
I field is a good one. It is presumed
that if the water was eased off In the
i w ell, It w ould produce from fifty to -. |
i U00 barrels per day. It is impossible^ j
to case off the water In this well on HWt||l
account of the original horn .beingyVftj^
