were that by the connivance OF clerks

stamp thereon, for genuine ones. Contractors
Hines and Kittle, who were interested In the
Texas bids, were tried and acquitted, not for
lack of evidence, but for want Of something
which few then understood but which can now
be explained. Like the Whiskey Ring, such
business could not be carried on without max

The raid on the Whiskey Ring diverted atten-

New Mexico Mob Throwing n Newspaper
once into the River.

Ohlce INTO the hlNtFs
SANTA FE, n. NJ, Jan. 2O.-Last night a
mob destroyed and threw into the river the
Ncrs and Pres ofilce Of Cimarron, New Mexico.
1t is believed to have been done by outlaws and
fugtivcs from justice, who were incited thereto
by evi-dlsposed persons who took an active
part against the election Of Ekns and the local
ticket supporting him, 1t having resulted that,
notwithstanding large am cunts OF money were
spent to carry ColiaI county against Ekins and
tho local ticket, all were elected.
The wrath OF his opponents became very
murder OF the Rev. i. J. rolhy happening about
this time that fact was used to inCite "A mob Os-
trnsibly to arrest and Kill his alleged murderers,
but really 10 run the Probate Judge elect and
otner officers aud partisans OF his out OF the
county
About this time the Neirs and Pres published
articles intended to give comfort TO mob law
and kept uua continued abuse ut several iufu-
ential public officials. The editors and propri-
etors evidently were divided la their opinions.
and an article appeared containing very strong
resolutions denouncing certain persons who had
acted IN "a very laweas manner. Ihis however,
WAS retracted hy one Of the editors, aud again
the mob was friendly.
Some two weeks after, when several men had
been killed and some of the bc't driven out OF
| the county. including the Justice Of tho Peace,
| Judge Of lrohatc. and business men, the pres
ent editor published an article which shows
| that he did not subscribe to the tone Of the
/ paper.
This caused FINAL rupture. leaving Mr.. Daw-
son In charge OF the payer, who was immedt-
atelv informe ed by an ANONYMOUS letter that he
was In danger, and must change hi- tone. lie
answered in "a manly way by publishing the
anonymous letter and proposing to be entirely
| Independent. The result was the destruction
| of the Office last night.
