ut that the Santa Fe mail party had arrived at town
on the day previous bringing dates from Santa Fe to
the LIST, and from Ell Paso to the 10th. The Ledger
says:
| At Ysleta, fifteen miles below Ell Paso. difficulty
had taken place between two men, named respective
ly Dexter and Sche in which the latter was Killed.
Some MeXicans having gone to Magotflns Salt Lake
and loaded their carts with salt, Magoffin procured
force from the Sheriff to arrest them This force,
which included the mail party, came up to the heNl
cans and took possession OF the carts. The MeXdans
in rereating fired into the Sheritfs force at random
and wounded one of the mail party very severely.

The same paper has the following items:
| We are informed that several horses were stocr
| from Mr. Lyttle's Ranch, on the Medina, on FRIDAY
last and that parties are in pursuit OF the thieves
Further particulars have not reached us. 1t will b.
seen from our notice of the District Court, that tw
horse thieves were, this week, convicted and sen
fenced to the Penitentary and it is to be hoped tina
| the examples there made will have the effect of de
terriug others from committing similar offences.
