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 do not
think the leaders of the Democratic
party are cast down by defeat and If
they are right, as I think they are,
they will win eventually."
Thus Governor John A. Johnson, of
Minnesota. who Is herp to attend
the Conservation Congrew. the confer
ence of Governors and the waterways
convention, expressed In an Interview his
abiding faith in Democracy.
"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. Mr. Bryan was much
misunderstood and purposely misrepre
sented: there was lack of organization
In the Democratic party and unity of or
ganization in Republican ranks."
CARNEGIE'S NEGRO SCHOOL
Steel Magnate Plans Institution to
Rival Hampton and Tuskegee.
IUISVILi,E, Ky.. Dec. S. Options are
said to have been secured on tracts of
land near Orell. 14 miles from Iyiulsville,
to establish a colored school similar to
those at Hampton and Tuskegee. The
new college will take the place of Boca
College as a school for colored students.
The decision of the Supreme Court up
holding the state law forbidding the co
education of white people and negroes
made it necessary to provide specially for
the colored branch of Boca. An adjust
ment fund of H00.0G0 is needed to carry
on the work. Of this sum Andrew Car
negie has pledged S.'OO.OJO.

head of a Peoria church, before a con
ference of 60 Baptist- ministers here to
day, denounced modern methods of evan
gelism. He characterized them as: "A
three-ringed circus, a vaudeville show, a
bazaar and lastly a pulpit. These so
called 'social' systems of reaching the
people and making converts may bring
people to church, but they do not make
them Christians."

laration 'of Captain of Detectives

cumstantial evidence in possession of

endeavoring to learn where the strych
nine sent to Boas was purchased.

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.
