the act of entering the depot of ;he
l. iV H. railroad located near the Stur

by raising u. window and opening the

lnff train caused Gallagher to secrete
himself behind the station for a short
time. After all was clear, as Gal

and proceeded to till a larso bag with
what mighi strike his fancy.
Oallagher, after completing his "col
lection" and taking his departure frrm
the depot, encountered Officer Love
lace and Arthur Buckley, and a strug
gle ensued, during which Lovelace
and Gallagher clinched. During the
struggle, circumstances Justifying the
act, Olllcer Lovelace drew his revolver
and fired. The bullet entered Gallagh
er's neck, lodging In the chest, inflict
ing a dangerous though not necessar
ily fatal wound. The -wounded bur

The Romaece of
Governor Otero0
Tihe New Executive ctf Mexico Was Once a
Prisoner 5n tihe Santa Fe JailMow Me Got
5weet Revenge Upon. His Persecutor.
When Miguel A. Otero, tho newly-appointed
governor of New Mexico, pass
ed through Chicago the other day on
his way west from Washington! he
stopped to call upon William A. Vin
cent, and thereby hangs a tale. Mr.
Vincent, it appears, was nt ono time a
companion prisoner with Governor
Otero In a New Mexican Jail.
To begin at the beginning, when
General Grant returned from his fa
mous trip around the world he was of
fered the position of president of a
mining company, which claimed to own
a mine, called by Americans the Big
Copper, In New Mexico. For the posi
tion of president lending his name to
the enterprise, practically he was ten
dered a salary of $50,000 a year. Gen
eral Grant declined. The corporation
had been organized by a company com
posed of New York and Boston capi
talists, who had surreptitiously obtain
ed control of the property. It was sit
uated on a tract of land which had
been granted by the king of Spain to
Governor Otero's grandfather and
uncles. It was called by the Spaniards
and Mexicans, Nuestra Senora de los
Dolores (Our Lady of Sorrows). It had
been worked by Governor Otero's an
cestors under the king of Spain, the re
public of Mexico, during the empire of
Yturblde, and under the United States
government, after it had obtained pos
session of tho territory.
INJUNCTION LEADS TO JAIL.
The capitalists who had endeavored
to persuade General Grant to take the
presidency of the company were work
ing it and taking considerable quanti
ties of copper and gold out of it. Gov
ernor Otero, his brother, Page B. Otero,
and his cousin, Mariano S. Otero, ap
plied for an Injunction to the then chief
Justice of the supreme court of New
Mexico, Samuel B. Axtell, to restrain
the company from operating the mine
pending the trial of an ejectment suit
brought by the Oteros. But Chief Jus
tice Axtell, as was charged at that
time by the Oteros, former Judge Vin
cent and others, corruptly refused to
grant the Injunction.
Mr. Vincent's connection with the
matter was because ho was adminis
trator of the estate of Governor Otero's
father and guardian of Governor Ot
ero's sister.
Feeling that they could not obtain
justice from Judge Axtell, Mr. Vincent
and the other lawyers for the estate
advised Governor Otero to take posses
sion of the mine by force If necessary.
A band of 100 armed men was organ
ized. They marched to the mine at
noon one day when the shifts were
changing, took possession of the dif
ferent entries and assumed control of
the property which had been In tho
family for three generations. No Wood
was split, but as Governor Otero Is a
determined, fearless and resolute man,
he doubtless would have fought hard If
necessary to recover his own Mr. Vin
cent was In the ranks and ready for
the fray.
A day or two afterward Judge Axtell,
on an ex parte application, without no
tice to the Otero family, on a bill that
was sworn to on information and be
lief, issued a peremptory injunction
commanding the Oteros to surrender
possession of the mine to the New
York and Boston company. Acting on
the advice of Mr. Vincent and the other
attorneys In the case, the Injunction
was ignored.
JUDGE SHOWS SPLEEN.
The result was that the Oteros and
lawyers were served with notloes to
appear before Judge Axtell and show
reason why they should not bo punished
for contempt of court. At the hearing
of the contempt proceedings were pro
pounded to Mr. Vincent and the other
lawyers regarding what information
their clients had given them about the
mine and what advice the lawyers had
given their clients. The attorneys re
fused to reply on the ground that tho
communications were privileged and
could not be dlscUsed without their
consent. Argument of the case was
not permitted and the entire party was
sent to 1ail.
Romulo Martinez, the sheriff, has the
thanks of Mr. Otero and Mr. Vincent
for making their imprisonment as
pleasant as possible, hue even at that
the Jail was not a very Inviting place.
Charges were at once preferred against
Judge Axtell and articles of impeach
ment were filed with congress. The at
torney general of the United States
made an Investigation and decided that
Judge Axtell had exceeded his author
ity and that the Oteros and Vincent
were in the right, nnd directed that
they be released from Jail and also
that the Oteros retain the property.
He also held that the lawyers should
not be compelled to answer the ques
tions propounded by the court. Gov
ernor Otero says they would be In the
Santa Fe Jail until this day before ac
ceding to the court's demands.
The case was then taken to the su
preme court of the United States, which
sustained the position of the Oteros,,
and a decision was handed down that
the property belonged to them. Presi
dent Cleveland shortly afterward re
moved Judge Axtell from the position
of chief Justice of the supreme court of
New Mexico for arbitrary conduct and
appointed Mr. Vincent to succeed him.
Thus Mr. Vincent practically went
from Jail to the bench which had been
occupied by the man who a little over
a month before had consigned him to
prison.
BEVENGE MADE SWEET.
But this was not all, Governor Otero
was appointed clerk of the court to
take the place of the man who had is
sued the writ which placed him be
hlnr the bars. This made revenge com
plete, and tho most satisfactory por
tion of it was, Mr. Otero says, that the
change met with general approbation.
Ho says his Jail experience has not been
wasted. He can more fully appreciate
what those who are imprisoned are
compelled to endure, and consequently
use executive clemency with more dls.
cretlon that If there had been no Jail
episode in his life.
Governor Otero is 38 years old and
the youngest of New Mexico's govern
ors. He Js married and he and his
wife and one child will occupy the old
est official building on the western
hemisphere. It Is a palace, 300 by 160
faet, and was erected 310 years ago by
the king of Spain as the palace of tho
viceroy of the Spanish empire. It has
been constantly used as the seat of
government. It Is one story high and
the walls are four and one-half to five
feet thick. It is a grand old pile, but
surrounded in history by many bloody
reminiscences. All tho beheadings and
there were many of them during the
old regime took place an the plaza In
front of tho Imposing structure.
Governor Otero Is of pure Castlllan
blood, tho first of his race who has
filled the gubcnatorlal chair of New
Mexico. He Is thoroughly American In
every way. His education was obtain
ed ut the St. Louis university and the
college of Notre Dame.
WHY MEN DON'T GO TO CHURCH
There Aro Potent Hansons, Somo or
Which Do Not Sponk Well for the
Churches.
From tho New York Tirnes.
A correspondent of the Hartford
Times, In referring' to the reason for
the non-attendanco nt religious ser
vices in that city which a well-In-formeed
statistician puts nt 22,000 in
a total population of 53,000 says the
chlof cause Is the inability of the poor
to dress suitably for a visit to the
churches. There seems to bo very
much of truth in this, and pastors of
churches in this city and Brooklyn
alike have all too frequently heard tho
same reason advanced by persons
whom they have visited and Invited to
their services. A well-dressed person
whose purse strings are loosely drawn
finds himself most cordially welcomed
and escorted to a front seat In the
edifice. But to the man or woman
who seeks a ' church homo wearing
clothing that is not of tho latest cut,
there is too apt to be a cold shoulder
turned by the ushers and looks of
contempt from fashionably dressed fellow-worshippers.
This Is a condition
that exists not only In tho "fashion
able" sanctuaries, but In those where
social distinctions are not supposed to
be made so much of. Ministers and
rectors may try faithfully and earnest
ly to break down barriers, but they can
make little, If any, headway in tho
w'ork, and all acknowledge their Ina
bility to recreate any of the old feeling
of fellowship that once drew strangers
in cities to church congregations, not
only to enable them to find congenial
acquaintances, but communistic wor
ship according to the faith in which
they had 'been brought up In their
homes. It is the clannlshness of
church-goers against the man not sty
lishly dressed and tho woman who
does not Haunt sealskins and diamonds
that prevents the success of any evan
gelistic movement In great cities, and
that thus drives thousands Into tha
arid plains of an Irreligious life.
Origin of n Phrase.
From the New York Pre3s.
"How daro you," cried the venerable
personage, "thus rob a priest of tho
Druids?"
Tho highwayman of ancient Britain
lowered his stone ax. "If that Is tho
case," ho returned politely, "I will at
least give you a little run for you money I"
Handing the graybeard a flint on which
was inscribed In flowing verso (v pateat
medicine advertUement, ho blithely con
tinued on his way.
THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Kevicw.
Now York, July 17. Dealings on tho
Stock oxchango were In fairly large vol
ume today and the market was strong as
a whole. Liquidation In Sugar worked a
sympathetic reaction in the market for a
short time, but the advance was lesumed
before the closo on buying to cover and
the last prlceB In many cases were tho
best. Tho Grangers were notably strong
as being likely to derive the most im
mediate benefit from tho promised abund
ance of the crops. The break in tho wheat
market on jeports of continental sell
ing was not without its effect on values
In tho stock market and contributed to tho
reaction. The total sales of tho day were
122,480 shares.
