The Southern Rustlers.

From the Albuquerque Review.
The Cattlemen's Protective AS
ISOLATION was organized last week
at Socorro, being comprised Of the
largest stock dealers Of Socorro,
Valencia and Bernalillo counties.
There is a regularly organized band
of rustlers, with headquarters in
the Datyl mountains, who make a
practice Of stealing cattle from
every range, rebranding and driy-
ing them to Santa Fc, Albuquer-
que and Socorro. The leader was
killed last week by MeXicans, who
followed him to the Arizona Dor
der, But the depredations Of the
band continuing, the object Of the
association is to exterminate them.
-Four deputies were appointed to
hunt them down, at the expense Of
the association. ID. II. McAllis
ter, one OF the deputies, has start
ted from Albuquerque in pursuit
Of a number OF the rustlers, who
are driving cattle from Moore &
Casey's ranch, in the American
valley. This band Of r%ustlers is
strong one, ranging in the San
Francisco and American valleys
where they are known as the "Gil;
monsters" They will soon be
come as famous rs the gang o
Billy the Kid, unless cattlemeI
watch them closely.

known at that place, as also at Dom
ing. Socorro, Bernalillo, and linear
" all towns in Southern New McXi-
co;and as greatnumbersof travellers
arc constantly travelling from place
to place, all over the Territory, and
as nobody thus far has seen or
heard Of the missing man since he
left Engle in company with House,
the natural conclusion is that he
became a fellow victim with the
unfortunate sheep hcrdcd.
Many other things in the con
duct of House; such as his remark
that Graham had lied 70 him, and
fooled him, but that he would ncy-
or do it again, etc, all tending in
the same direction, lead to that
conclusion. We do not aim to add
any more to the popular prejiudce
against the prisoner Houses who
will be tried at tho Spring term OF
court, in 1888, for murder; but az
nothing so far as We have learned
has been done except by private
parties, towards Investigating the
matter of Graham's disappearance,
we suggest that it is in order fol
the proper authorities to make q
prompt and thorough investiga
ton of the matter. If House did
murder II. c. Graham, as is
strongly indicated by the above
circumstances, it may not be 9
difficult task to find the remains o.
the unfortunate murdered man ii
the Cabello mountains, and thu,
put together a chain Of evidence
that will convict the murderer
should he be so fortunate as to be
acquitted of the charge now pend
ing against him.

The Era says that since the new
coaches have been put on, the tray-
q has increased very materially.
The people Of White Oaks have
known for a long time that travel
and capital have been diverted
to other places on account of the
miserable accommodations furnish
ed by this company who had mo-
nopolized the route, and it has cost
our people thousands Of dollars for
this same companp to find out that
it would pay to put on decent ac-
commedati0ns, and we do not see
ne use of patting them on the
back for doing a thing that in all
reason and all justice should have
been done long ago. We also re-
iteratc our former statement that
fifteen cents per mile is an eXhor-
bitant rate to charge for travelling
across a level country where roads
are built at little cost. 1t has
been scarcely three months since

The Strange Disappearance Of H. c
Graham.

1t may not be generally known
that Mr.. II. G. Graham, who un-
fortunately shot himself in the foot
while at the White Oaks House in
this place last winter and whose
tardy recovery was followed by the
death of his wifc-ycry mysteri-
ouslydisappcared soon after leaving
here and mas not been secnor heard
of since.
The LEADER has been to some
pains to get about all there is to be
known in the case, for the benefit
Gifts readers, and the friends of the
unfortunate man.
a letter has been received here
from Mr.. a. Rogers, postmaster at
Engle, on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fo Railroad, in which the
writer states that early in June
last, he furnished horses to Z. L.
House and Mr.. Graham to ride
into tho Cabcllo mountains. They
were to return in q few days, but
instead House afterward telegraph
cd Mr.. Rogers from Upton that he
would find his horse at that place,
but that Graham was lost. Rogers
proceeded to Upton and recovered
the horse ridden by House, and
sent out two men who searched
three days, but failed to find any
trace of Graham. Three weeks
afterward the horse Graham rode
was found in the vicinity, without
saddle or bride. Mr. Rogers was
well acquainted with Graham, and
states that he has not been seen or
heard of since. House soon after
returned to Socorro, from which
place he and Graham had started
to look at a copper mine in the
Cabello mountains, which the lat
ter proposed to sell. At this time
House reported that Graham had
gone on to Silver City, After
wards he stated that when Graham
took him out there and failed to
show up the mines as lie had
f promised, that he was so inccnsed
at him that he took his horse from
him and ''fred him off," on foot,
with his pack on his back.
Later, House came over to the
! Nogals and the murder Of Juan
Chavez y Pinos was perpetrated.
| On his return to Socorro, after that
affair, and while under arrest, he
was questioned further about Ora
