FRANZ HUNING, DISTINGUISHED PIONEER, CLAIMED BY DEATH End Came at Family Home This Morning After Lingering Illness---Body Will be Cremated. Franz Huning is dead.

The end came to one of Albuquerque's oldest and most prominent pioneers at 11:45 o'clock this morning, at Castle Huning, Old Albuquerque, the family home, after a lingering illness extending over several years. The direct cause of his death was a complication of diseases, due to old age, he being 78 years old on the 26th of October Yesterday Mr. Huning realized that the end was not far distant, and the immediate members of his family, with the exception of his son. Arno, who is now on his way to this city, were present when he passed away, in- in a mercantile establishment as a clerk, came to Old Albuquerque and took a position in a large mercantile establishment there, remaining for about a year. Tiring of the arduous duties of a clerk, Mr.

Huning accompanied a milItary expedition to Gran Quivera, in search of $40,000,000 in gold, said to have been buried there centuries fore by the Jesuit fathers. This quest for hidden treasure proved fruitless and he returned to Old Albuquerque. In 1855 Mr. Huning opened a general merchandise store in the old town and continued the enterprise suC. cessfully for the long period of thirtyfour years, disposing of his interests in the same in 1889, After the found- CASTLE HUNING- THE DECEASED STANDING AT THE GATE.

Trimble, B. Ruppe and W. T. McCreight, Biographical Sketch. Franz Huning was a native of many, having been Hanover, on the 26th day of October, 1827.

He received educational discipline in the Fatherland, and later gained a valuabie experience. in merchandising. Upon attaining his majority he determined to seek fortune in the new world and bidding farewell to home and friends he came to America. Upon his arrival he went to St. Louis, where he secured a clerical position in a mercantile establishment, remaining thus employed for a period of seven months.

This was in the year 1849, which marked the period of the great gold excitement in California and ing the "fever," he started Mr. Huning drove six yoke of oxen and was compelled to walk the greater portion of the distance traversed. When the party reached New Mexico winter had set in and they could not with safety proceed further. After spending a few months in Santa Fe, during which time he was employed ing of the new town he also conducted a merchandise establishment here. In connection with the inception of the city of Albuquerque he played most important part, purchasing all of the land for the town site, together with Messrs.

Stover and Hazedine. His liberality and earnest desire to further the development of the town are shown in the generous bequests he made for public and semi-public purposes. He was one of men who gave to the Santa Fe railway company the ground for its station building, he contributed land for school houses and other public purposes and sold many of the lots upon which the city now stands. One of the most important acquisitions Mr. Huning ever gave the city was an extensive flouring mill which was erected in 1864.

The mill flourished for many years products were sold all over the southwest. Sev eral years ago the mill, was destroyed by fire and was never rebuilt. In 1883 the deceased erected a palatial residence which is located on the electric line to old town, and isi known as Castle Huning. The estate comprises 130 acres of ground, being improved and is one of the most beautiful demesnes in the territory. The marriage of Mr.

'Huning was celebrated in 1863, when he united Miss Ernestine Franke, a native of the province of Saxony, Germany. They became the parents of four children, of whom two are living at the present time, namely: Clara, the wife of Attorney H. B. Fergusson, of this city, and Arno, an accomplished electrical and mechanical engineer, residing in Philadelphia, Pa. 110 is also survived by his wife.

Mr. Huning always gave his closest attention to his business enterprises, labored without ceasing and was economical in his habits and business methods. He was always a leading factor. in all public of city of Albuquerque, its enterprises; welfare closely at heart and was known and honored as one of its i sterling and representative men. A fact worthy of incidental note is that he was a member of the company which aided in building the first bridge across the Rio Grande at this point.

He also aided in the building of the Albuquerque street railway item and in securing the gas works. 'Although during the past few years of his life he had not been actively enI gaged in business he will be missed.

FOX, LEADING JEWELER or he spoiled to PERFECTO'S WARNING HAD DESIRED EFFECT Lid Was on Tight in Albuquerque First Time in Many Years. IS IT AN ULTIMATUM? Yesterday was a poor day in Albuquerque for the man with a burning thirst. He could get nothing to alleviate the fire in his throat or to warm his chilling bones, although the day was one of those damp days, with the wind in the north--just the kind when one needs a little artificial cheer. As a result of Sheriff Armijo's warning, the saloons were closed up, front, rear and side, from Sunday morning until 12 o'clock Sunday night. It was hard medicine for the man who likes his "mornin's his "noon's noon," and a "night cap," but Perfecto said take it, and all of Albuquerque did, without a single exception, as far as the authorities could find.

Every back door was found barred, both at the down town saloons and at the suburban native dispensaries. The doors to the White Elephant were found impregnable. A thirsty, man turned away, after, trying side door, which he entered last Sunday week, with a look of disappointment upon his countenance, and looked longingly at Zeiger's cafe across the street. Then he ambled in that direction. The front door was closed and the side door was fastened, and then an expression of hope spread over his face, as he remembered that there was an opening from Goetz's restaurant, which the rear into the saloon, there were swinging doors that could not be fastened.

Imagine his delight when these swing doors gave way his pressure. But once on the inside, he found to his great disappointment, that the man behind, with the white jacket and apron, was absent, and upon close investigation was that the ice boxes wore Sunday ties in the shape of padlocks. A prominent attorney met a Citizen reporter on First street, and wanted to know if there was "anything doing?" The reporter shook his head. A man from Santa Fe said, "I never saw the like," and a man from Las Vegas said, "How's your drug stores?" A thinly clad, elderly gentleman, with a far away look in his eye, stepped up to the soda fountain of one Albuquerque's several corner drug stores, and said, "Give me a hign ball." The clerk got busy, removing an imaginary speck from a highly polished glass. "I'd like a high ball," shouted the would-be customer.

"We're serving hot chocolate and ice cream today," replied the clerk. "Would you some of the hot chocolate?" The man with the look his eye, lit a cigar faraway thoughtfully out of the window. The hot coffee stands did a good business. It Knocked Sunday Business in Old Town. The iid was on tight in old town, too.

During the open season, Sunday is the best day of all the week for the old town jointists. Their resorts have proven very popular places the unsophisticated young men city, who do not care for the ter regulated places. The Sunnyside piano played no tune yesterday, the first Sunday for many years, and bowling alley was also quiet. The Porto Rico was tight, and there was nothing doing at the Casino, although the week previous, when the front door ban was put on, these places a good business. The Barelas joints were also closed, and as a result the terminal points on the street cars being dry, the cars did a slim business yesterday.

Sheriff Armijo's warning had desired effect the first day, but how long is it to last? Mr. Armijo said nothing in his dictum' of Saturday, whether his orders were an ultunatum or whether they meant just a temporary ban, to last until after the fight for the sheriff's office is ended. The would like te which it is, and it is presumed the saloon keepers would like to know, too. Fruit for Locksmiths. The beginning of the Sunday closing reign of Sheriff Armijo, with ders from the court, furnished a rush of business for the locksmiths combination experts of the city.

There were many safes in the city whose combinations had not been turned in years, and there were doors many of the saloons of the city that had not been closed in years, night day. The proprietors of these safes lost their combinations and had have new ones, and locks had to placed upon those swing doors. First street saloon had to have a of keys made for its doors, and other, a Railroad avenue place, had have both and keys. Keys turned in many of these locks last night when the period of closing expired, but some few of the saloons did not open until morning. CAME TO NEW MEXICO FIFTY YEARS AGO MRS.

MARGARET CLIFFORD DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME OF HER SON, AS THE RESULT OF AN AT-. TACK OF HEART FAILURE. Albuquerque has lost one of its oldest pioneers, by the death of Mrs. Margaret Clifford, mother of Oakey Clifford, proprietor of the Highland livery stable, whose death occurred on Saturday afternoon. Mrs.

Clifford was in her 72d year, and the direct cause her sudden demise was an attack heart failure, The deceased came to New Mexico in 1851, settling at Santa Fe, where she lived for many years. For some time she has made her home with her son in this city. Besides this, she leaves a William Clifford, at Deming; Mrs. L. C.

Wardwell, of this city, and Nichols, San of Marclal. The funeral was held yesterday af325 ternoon from the family home, East Carroll avenue, and was attended by a large number of friends the deceased. Undertaker A. Borders had charge, and burial was in Santa Barbara cemetery. MEANS MORE SHOWS FOR ALBUQUERQUE Burning of Myar Theatre, Blow to El Paso, Boom to Duke City.

MACK SAYS ELKS' BEATS THEM ALL It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, is a threadbare maxim that usually makes The burning of the Myar opera in El Paso Saturgoods. day night may prove of inestimable value to the Elks' Lease Holding committee. It may be the means of bringing to the Elks' opera house a large number of good shows which would otherwise not have come. This is the opinion of C. Mack, manager of the Ethel Tucker Stock company, which begins a week's engagement at the Elks' opera house tonight.

Mr. Mack says that the burning of the Myar opera house will make such a break in the southern circuit that very few shows can weather it. In going from the east to the coast, the majority of the shows count on stopping at San Antonio and El Paso, Tucson, Phoenix and San Bernardino. The jump from San Antonio to Tucson is too long for any show, no matter how large, and naturally, coastbound shows will their southern dates, and take, northern routes that are more desirable, and it stands to reason that the Santa Fe is due to get some of them. The Myar opera house held dates for many good shows.

In speaking of opera houses over the country, and especially southwest, Mr. Mack says that Elks' the beats them all. The Myar opera house was a very comfortable old affair, but it was inadequate to both stage and seating capacity. Mr. Mack went to Santa the intention of making a week's stand there, but when he looked over the Fe opera house he changed his He said that Santa.

when Mr. Dettlebach, the manager, place, he thought that the City opera house man was wencient joking, but when he informed that it was no joke--it was really the play house that he was looking at, he took the next train back to Albuquerque, leaving no paper to garnish the bill boards of the Ancient. CAUGHT IN ACT OF FRISKING DRUNK MAN POLICE LAND TWO MEN IN JAIL, WHO MUST ANSWER TO SERIOUS CHARGE THIS EVENING IN POLICE COURT. The old-time trick of spiriting away a drunken man with a roll of money, and robbing him, was worked in this city Saturday night on a stranger. The scene of operations was in the alley at the rear of Bachechi's saloon on First street, and two men giving their names as James King and James Brown, are confined in the city jail, charged with the crime.

The men deny that they robbed the stranger, who alleges that he lost about $30. They admit, however, they were drinking with him during the' evening. The evidence is strong against them, as when they were in the act of "frisking" their victim, they happened to step in front of a rear window of the saloon, and the light streaming out of the window made it possible for several men- in the saloon to get a good view of the proceedings. These witnesses informed the police what had taken, place, and the arrest of King and Brown followed, SUNDAY CLOSING KNOCKS POLICE COURT BUSINESS NOT ONE DRUNK FACED JUDGE CRAWFORD WHEN COURT WAS OPENED THIS MORNING, WHICH IS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. From past records, the heaviest docket on the police court was almost invariably on Monday morning, being an accumulation of the Saturday and Sunday night jags.

This mornfor the first time in many months, Judge Crawford opened court to an empty house- -that is, there was not a victim confined in the city bastile charged with engaging in a carousal on Sunday. The cause of this unusual state of affairs was of course on account of Sheriff Armijo's sweeping order that no liquor should be sold Sunday in Bernalillo county. Although, yesterday was the first day that the "lid" has been on tight in Albuquerque, the good results could be no more plainly evidenced than they were in police court this morning. Albuquerque is rapidly falling in line with the leading cities of the country, when the saloons are made to observe the Sunday law. According to the leading district attorneys of the United States, the result of Sunday closing are manifold.

fourths of the police court of dustnesse the country at large is from the Saturday night and Sunday drunk, who draws his pay the last of the week, and then proceeds to "blow" it before is Monday, The result that he run for drunkenness, and fails show in for work Monday morning, and loses his job, he spends all of his wages and his wife children are the sufferers. enforcement of the Sunday law and the benefits as a result, are very great, is therefore evident.
