A TRAGEDY WITH A MORAL.

Last week we published the full
particulars of the tragedy in Va
lencia County, by which two men
were killed and two severely injured
through receiving bullets in their
persons.
Two men laid claim to a certain
tract Of property, and instead OF
permitting the courts to decide le-
gitimate ownership they resorted
to pistols, and tie consequence was
one of the belligerents was killed,
the other dangerously wounded,
and a friend of one of the princi-
pals was killed, while a champion
of the other caught a cartridge in
his hand.
One of the principals was an
American, and the other a Mexi-
can, from which fact an effort has
been made to show that Otero was
murdered by Whitney because the
deceased was a Mexican, and this
in full view of the fact that Whit
ney had intermarried, and his bro
ther-in-law, Fernandez, a native,
was killed.
No, there was no outcropping of
nationality in the premises. Zach
of the bellicose gentlemen doubt
less plunod himself on his chival-
ric blood. Knowing that they
were armed, each sought at the
prouer time, to get the drop on
his adversary, when he could step
from out the scene OF his exploit
and air himself before his fellows
as brave, heroic gentleman. Had
neither Otero or " Aitney been pro
vided with araensls in their rear
pockets no blood would have been
spilled, no widows would today be
mourning the loss OF husbands, no
children, now iatherless, would
have been berett OF those whose
names they wear, and the serenity
of heaven would not have been dis
turbed by the rushing in of unbid-
en- guests.
What is a ranch, in value, com
