killed Christmas evening, As he and his wife
were leaving the Methodist church Christmas
festival, by Jacob Baca. one Of Mexican
family. The deceased incurred the i'll will
of the Baca family in the territorial Legis-
iature by boldly expressed sentiments con-
ceraing education and abuse of civil rights in
the territory. Some slight disturbance in
the festival, which Conklin as usher cor
rected, was the immediate cause Of the muir
der. No justice of peace can be found to
arrest Baca and there is great excitement in
Socorro. which may lead to strife between
the American and Mexican population.
Assailants of Conklin are guarded By 1900
Mexicans. A large posse of Americans, well
armed, intend TO get the murderers even if
they have to tight for them.

The POpca Indians.

WAsHrSGToN, December ~. The Ponca
chiefs had a long interview with Secretary
Schurz, to-day. At the conclusion of speeches
the ten chiefs signed a paper declaring their
desire TO remain on lands now occupied by
the Poncas in Indian Territory, and establish
permanent homes there. Also expressing
willingness to relinquish their right and
interest in all lands formerly occupied by
the Ponca tribe in Nebraska ami Dakota. In
compensation for loss of land and personal
property at the time of removal to Indian
Territory, and for depredations committed
upon them by Sioux, they ask Congress to
appropriate Sl4s.00O. The same sum is
asked for in bill submitted by the Interior
department. After enumeratin4 some of the
purposes for which they desire to have this
sum expended or invested, the paper closes /:
''We declare this to be an expression of our
free will and desire. as well as that of our
people at present residing on the Ponea
reservation in Indian Territory, and we ask
that this declaration and request be submitted
to Congress for its favorable consideration
and action The paper bears signatures of
all the Ponca chiefs present, and certificates
of the interpreters,
