The robbers went back to Las Vegas,

friends; and the United States Marshal
for New Mexico, Mr.. John Sherman
(nephew of the GeneraD, who resides
at Santa Fe, thought that they must be
agreeable and witty people, and that he

and to present to them two associates
and deputies of his own-Mr. Charles
Jones, of Kansas, who had come to the
Territory for that purpose, and Mr..
Thomas Barrett, of Santa Fe,
both gentlemen of very taking ways.
As the robbers did not seem anxious to
be presented, the Marshal concluded to
waive ceremony and make the first call
and they took a few broad-shouldered
quiet-looking, heavily armed friends
with them.

Roscommon, Ireland, attempted two
months ago to fence in a farm which
belonged TO him near Ballinamore, in
Leitrim, from which tenant had been
elected. He was then fired at by a

He was guarded by fourteen ccnstabu-

armed with shoyels, pickaxes, etc.,
were thousand in number. Acheson
