ed with the murder of Col. Thos.
H. Swope was found guilty of
murder in the first degree and
his punishment was fixed at
life imprisonment by the jury.
A new trial will be asked for
and it ig likely that the case will
be taken to the higher courts.
Hyde was indited for the al-
leged poisoning of Col. Swope
also Christman and Margerete
Swope. Tne prosecution showed
that Mrs. Hyde was benefitted to
the amonnt of $425,000 by these
deaths.
' Every attorney in the case had
tfiven up hope of a verdict as
the jury had b?en out - since 9:55
Friday night. The large crowd
greeted the verdict is silence.

against the poisible organized
raid by the Pueblo Indians from
the reservation north of here,
but at "daylight no word of^tny
farther movement on the part
of the braves had reached this
town.
Following the raids of yester-
day and the dily before, in which
the ranch of L. S. Meyers was
attacked, buildings burned and
fences destroyed *nd, it is re-

arms around her husband's neck
and wept silently. Then she

Dr. Hyde sat pale and motion-
less. He looked firmly at Judge
JLataaw while the verdict was
being read. As the words "Im-
prisonment in the gtate peniten-
tiary during his natural life,"
were pronounced his eyes turned
to the floor.
"Don't worry, dearie," said
his wife, as she clasped him in
herarms, '

As soon as the Lubbock line

Within twenty minutes after
the verdict was returned the

weak and femaimed in the court
room for some time.
Mrs, Ix>gan C. Swope was not

I. Z. Smith, William Britt and

While at Emma last week we

news came that fifty or more
warriors of San Juan and other
tribes ard wearing war paint and
engaging in war dances.
None of the older bucks don-
ned war bonnets' but many
young ones arereported as hav-
ing joined the uprftift|^ Oppon
sition to census taking and gen-
eral dissatifaction with the
whites because of whal the Ind-
ians belive to be encroachments
on their rights, are generally ac-
cepted as the causeof the trouble.'
Thus far definite news has been
received that the Indians have
cut telephone and telegraph poles
to the ground. When it became
known here that the Indians
were maruading, Judge John R.
McFie, who is conducting court
at Taos, issued ah urgent request
for troops. This was sent to
Governor Mills. The governor
immediatly ordered fifteen men
of Compaines D and F. New
Mexico National Guard, to Taos.
General Brooks, in command of
the National Guaid, has also or-
dered CompanyH of Saqta Fe
to be ready to march at .a mo-
ment.s notice.
The uprising-of .the Pueblos,
which have for years been a
peaceful people, it is believed to
to have been partially caused by
the territorial authorities. -For
year$ the Pueblos have governed
themselves electing their own
chiefs and village councilors,
who tried and punished male-
^Jfactors of the tribe witnout . ap-
peal to the territorial authorities.
Some months ago an Indian,
Isleta Pueblo, who bad been im-
prisoned by the village authorities
appealed to the territorial courts,
and the chief and councilors of
the village were put in jail.
Since that time the
have been unruly, and it is be-
lieved that the present outbreak
is the result of fear by the
Pueblos that they would lose
heir independence. '

A visit by the reconnoitering
pirt fromCrosbyton lastFriday
and Saturday developed the fact
that Hereford has a good chance
to secure the extention of the
Stamford & Northwestern rail-
road. v
While not chartered as a part
of that line, the Crosbyton and
South Plains road will eventually
connect with the first road at
Spur. The party was composed
of J. M. Bassett of Crosbyton,
J. W. Burton, general attorney,
and J. A. Knox, chief engineer
for the road.
These gentlemen came to Here-
ford Friday but went on through
to Adrian and Vega, returning
that afternoon to Hereford, when
they met a few citizens and talk-
ed over the matter. The Brand
reporter was not present at the
meeting, failing to secure an in-
vitation, but it has been learned
from those present that Mr. Bas-
sett made no proposition but
wanted Hereford to write him by
the 20th inst. and state what
Hereford would be willing to do
in the matter of bonus, right of
way,etc. Such letters are being
asked of all the towns on
the proposed route, ** n d
these with other data will be laid
before the directors of the road
in Chicago about June the first.
The director of the Commertnal
Club will take up the matter
and comply with the request.
Mr. Bassett and his friends left
for Tucumcari Saturday morning
where they had a similar engage-
ment. The party passed through
Hereford on their return trip,
Mr, Bassett having left the party
at Tucumcari and'went toEIPaso
to attend the Bankers Associa-
tion—Hereford Brand.

tions for Mrs. Cannon and Miss

that they are to leave us but
our best wishes go with them.
