FIEND'S FELL DEEDS Martinez, Butcher, Boasted of Killing Twenty-two. MURDERED MAGGIE GARCIA Slayer of Colorado Family Com plete Crimes hy Shooting Ab tlucted Girl in Lonely Canyon and Committing Suicide. TRINIDAD. Colo.. Dec. 8. Maggie Gar cia. 1H years old. and Francisco Martinez, who was suspected of having murdered the four members of the Garcia family, whose bodies were found at their home last Friday night, their heads having been split open with an ax, were found dead yesterday about 20 miles west of the Gar cia ranch. In the extreme eastern part of I -as Animas County. Both had been shot in the head. Apparently Martinez had murdered the sirl and then com mitted suicide. A potse located Martinez and the girl Sunday night In a lonely canyon, and a guard was placed. Finding escape cut ofT Martinez killed his companion, whom undoubtedly h5 had abducted after mur dering her parents, and then blew out his own brains. Martinez, who had no horses, had forced the girl to walk with him to tlie place where they were found. Girl Resisted Fiend. The members of the posse brought the body of Maggie Garcia to the house where the other members of her fam ily had been murdered but left Mar tinez' body In the Pentala Canon, where he Killed the girl nnil himself. The condition of the girl's body proves beyond a doubt that she resist ed the fiend to the last. Her clothing; was torn until It hung In rags; her body was cut and bruised In dozens of places and even her shoes were torn and cut until the blood marked her trail. It was the crimson footprints of the girl which marked the trail for the pursuers and led them at last to the two bodies which marked the end of the chase. Killed 22 Men. For four days and five nights the irirt had been In the hands of the fiend who murdered her family and during that time the pair ha1 nothing to est but one loaf of bread, which Martinez secured on Saturday afternoon at a ranch. They had covered only IS miles from the scene of the murders, but they must have walked several times that distance to elude pursuit. Under sheriff oula Kroeger learned while investigating the Garcia murders that Martinez, who came originally from Mexico, had boasted that he had killed 21 men and declared that he ex pected to kill as many more before he died. Martinez was pardoned a year ago from the New Mexico penitentiary at Santa Fe. where he was serving a term. He bad been ordered away from the Garcia ranch. 85 miles from Trini dad, in an isolated region. The quad ruple murders at the ranch and the abduction of the girl followed. HOPEFUL FOR DEMOCRACY Governor Johnson Thinks Minority Party Will Win Eventually. WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.

"I think the Democratic party Is In a better position than it was before the campaign opened. I am. of course, un able to say what caused the result to be what It was.

NEW ARMY MEASURE Roosevelt Wants Emergency Volunteer Militia. FORCE OF 2,000,000 MEN President Sends Special Message to Congress Asking for Large Force Which Can Be Prepared on Short Xotice. WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 An emer gency volunteer army measure was advocated today by President Roose velt In a special message sent to Con gress, and the draft of the bill accom panying the message was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Cuflom. The President says the bill is intended to replace the present law. which was placed on the statute books "piecemeal and hurriedly, partly on the eve of the war with Spain and partly after hostilities had actually commenced." After declaring the present law to be Taulty and wholly inadequate to' a speedy and proper organization of a volunteer force, the President says the bill proposed, which was drawn under the supervision of the chief of staff of the Army, has the hearty approval of the War Department. The message says further: "It is designed to afford the com plete machinery by which, should we be confronted with a foreign war, the executive power could proceed at once to transform enthusiastic and pa triotic citizens into efficient and or ganized soldiers. Happily, there is at present no cloud upon our horizon, but that very fact affords us the best op portunity to proceed with deliberation and care In the preparation of laws adequate and indispensable for our possible war needs." It is pointed out by the President that the proposed measure would not call for a dollar's expendture durng the years of peace, and its enactment into law now "would merely be to place at the disposal of the executive power machinery whereby. should war threaten, the means to wage It could be swiftly brought into being." The proposed bill is elastic; under its provisions a force of 2,000.000 men could be raised as well as one of 50,-000. Murderer Is. Dead. IDS ANGELES. Dec. 8.
