Although we haze had bu. little rain the

The Savage Somnambuiist.

Exeter, N. H., 30. The boy Willrede Fits
| of Lowell, confined in the Jail in this city,
| awaiting examination for the somnambulic
attack on his companion, Johnny Emerson,
| in Gambia, week or more ago, has been en-
gagged again in his unconscious tragedies. On
Sunday night last he expressed Disconnected
feeling at being locked up alone in his cell
and he was allowed to pass the night in an
other, with two other prisoners. In the
course of the night he arose from his bed and
dressed himself completely, even to putting
| on his cap, and went to the window, where he
got razor which lay on the sill behind a
looking glass. lie then went to the bedside
| of one of the prisoners named Frost, whom
he awakened, and in the melee which fol-
lowed Frost was cut on the lip and throat,
which caused bleeding but no serious injury.
lie finally gothic razor away from the boy,
and while Frost was getting light the Fits
boy sprang to the bedside of the other occu-
pant of the cell, a Mr.. Brown, who remained
sound asleep during the tragic scene that had
just been enacted. The boy seized this pris-
| oner by the throat. which awoke him. and i,
| was with some difficulty the boys hold was
released, his finger marks being plainly visi-
| BILE on the mans throat the next day
| The boy was seized and well shaken, which
brought him to his senses, and when asked
what he was trying to do, he said he did not
know; and when they told him, at once con.
menced crying.
| The two men, whose cell door WAS unfas-
tened then took him to the cell he had before
occupied and locked him in. In going to the
cell he said to them, in grieved tone 'They
might consider themselves lucky that he did
not kill them all" The next day, in looking
for the wrench belonging to the stove in the
hall way of the prison it could not be found.
At last it was found hid away beneath the
bed Of the boy in his own cell The news of
this sad affair was kept from the public until
to-day.
His mother visited him yesterday, and ex
pressed request that this tragic event, in
which he son was the principal actor, might
be made generally known in confirmation of
the theory that it was in similar somnam-
bulic state that he attacked the Emerson boy
She stated that he had been seen but twice
by his family walking in his sleep, but there
were indications of his having frequently
done so, though he was SO sly in his move
| ments as to avoid detection.

minds. There are wars and rumors of wars
in Sonora and Sinolou. In Chisuahua sew
eral business houses have been closed by the
officers of the general government and their
property confiscated by the state on account
of duties alleged to be due on the introduce
ton of merchandise on which duties are
levied in compliance with the authority
granted by the late President Juarez. The
author of the official communication to the

this will finally end is question of impor-
lance and interest. Its immediate results
are being daily demonstrated by the gradual
decrease of business affairs Of all descrip-
tons. The disregard shown to law and legal
authorities, the frequent violation of the ex-
tradition treaty on the part of Mexico, cou-
pied with the refusal or inability Of the latter
TO enforce her own laws and control her own
people, has crippled American interests to an
incredible degree. This perpetual turmoil
and strife across the border In addition to In
dian depredations is fast depopulating this
section. Since my arrival at this place, pa

has been decrease Of at least ten per cent
i'll the white population and it is still growing
less, and unless some measures are adopted
with the view Of providing better security
for life and property from the lawlessness Of
Mexicans and slaughter by Indians the col
lection district of Paso Del Norte will dwin-
die into wilderness and become an expense to
the general southwest.
