A SERIOUS COMPLAINT.

1t is reported that the carcass of 81 dead
COW is lying in the Carrollton Avenue canal,
between Canal and Gasquet streets. This
putrid mass has been lying there since last
Thursday, and is very offensive to the resi-
dents in the vicinity. so much SO that when
they are required to pass in the neghborhood
of the nuisance they are compelled to hold
their handkerchiefs before their noses. This
matter should be attended to at once, as this
is the sixth complaint that has been made.
Whoever the blame lays with should be inn
medately required to attend to this business.
Such carelessness in times like this Is, to say
the least, reprehensible.

Nsxlco-War Between Citizens and

Affairs.
A fresh batch Of reports regarding the civil
war in Lincoln county, New Mexico was re-
ceived at military headquarters on yesterday.
Two war parties Of about fifty men each are
holding all the prominent buildings in the
town Of Lincoln. One party Is the sherifrs
posse, and the other Is composed Of outlaws
for whom warrants have been issued. Among
the latter are border-ruffians who make O.
business Of cutting throats, stealing horses.
and outraging helpless and unprotected wo-.
men. These helllOns are under the leadership
of q man named McSween. They have taken
refuge in his house, and defy the sheriff and
walk in the streets. When a head appears In
sight it Is the signal for volley Of bullets.
The women and children are driven to mad
ness by the reign Of terror around them,
Animals strolling through the streets have
been shot down in sheer WantOness. The outs
laws are armed with improved wnap0ng and
ammunition and provisio1s enough to last
several weeks. A citizen, while passing from
one house to another, was shot and fatally
I wounded. After he had lain in the sun two
days a couple Of strangers passing through
the place attempted to go to his Suocor, but
were forced to retreat before a volIey of bull
let's. The sheriff sent to the commanding
officer at Fort Stanton for howtzer, but It
was refused on the ground that, under the
new law OF Congress, no part OF the army
can be employed as q posse cOnnitGtats. The
soldier who was dispatched to the town with
the reply OF the officer was fired upon several
times by the garrison of outlaws.

The German government undoubtedly over
shot the mark when it subjected the masses

a meeting which was attended by n1any
Curti, a journalist, spoke on Reaction and
Liberalism" the address being entirely his
torical, and most OF the citizens being from
Theirs and Casimir-Perier. AS soon as the
words, "Now let US turn to Germany" fell
from the orators lips, the commissary Of po-
lice shouted, ''This meeting is dissolved"
