The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1884-02-29

The new county contemplated for
this section is tn be called Sierra. The
BLACK RANGE cannot understand the
necessity for going outside the English
language for a name. There is a pie.
thora of Spanish in the territory al
ready.
Representative Mcfarland has begun
wal on the Bureau of Immigration of
New Mexico, probably melted thereto
by Secretary Rich's book. If that's his
basis Of opposition be is certainly Jus.
tifiable. That work is surely a Door
thing.
Southern and central California have
been visited with heavy floods recently
and much damage has been caused
thereby. Trains on the Southern Pa
cltc road DO not run regularly and are
not expected to be moving with any de.
gree Of certainty for two months vet.
The republicans, democrats and
~greenbackers have each chosen Chicago
as the place for holding their national
conventions. The republican conyen
tlon comes first, j une Sd, the democratic
next June 24th, and the gre~enbackers'
July 7th. Chicago appears to be a fine
town IN which to start "a MOTEL.
All along the line efforts will be
WI for REIMBURSEMENT of county lines.
There are three bills on hand for di.
VldIng Grant county; large petitions
from Deming are arriving and a dele
CATION from there Is expected. Socorro
and bona Ana counties are to be re.
modeIed. Valencia is to catch 1t and
Bernaiiilo and San Miguel are to be cut
IN two. The county seat of Colfax is
10 he taken from Springer to Raton.-
New Mexican Review.
The Las Cruces Times has been given
a being through the agency of John f.
Edwards its editor and proprietor. The
paper Is a 7-column and The first num-
per Is excellent in point of reading
matter 1T has always appeared to the
BLACK RANGE that the editor of the
Republican was doing wonders to make
MS paper profitable and now if Mr.. Ed
wards makes the Times a Guccess IN
The same town he will work miracles.
The BLACK RANGE wishes the new
conner a better fate than it predicts for
it.
Sheriff Pertecto Armijo, Of Bernali-
Ito county, squared accounts with the
county recorder recently and made set
tlement in full according to his books
but lacked something over $4,000 of
having paid in enough cash accord
Ing to the recorders books. This
discrepancy is causing a world of
trouble at Albuquerque. The county
commissioners have tried TO put MI.
Armijo out of office and Judge Bel
issued an injunction restraining them.
The city of Albuquerque is filed with
excitement over the affair,
The notorious ''DObe" Johnson OF
HiIlsborO, has at last fallen by the eff.
feet OF the bullet with which he was
always 80 free in life. On Sunday
"Dobe" got on a spree and assaulted
VIM. Meade, following him into his
W house and maltreating his wife.
Mead took a rifle and shot him dead,
The citizens eXonerate him from blame.
Meade is a saloon keeper and johnson
was engaged in the mercantile BUSH
ness at Hlllsboro. The deceased has
killed many men in his life and it is but
h,tlhg that he should die in the way
he did. There VIII he little sympathy
or regret at his final taking off.
X. W. Webb of The Golden Retort,
has been indicted by the Santa Fe
county grand jury for perjury. Webb
made an affidavit and put it in writing
that he had no hand in instigating or
hDettlng the seizure of the San Pc
dro copper mine by the Otero mob last
fall, and now thirty disappointed men,
bers OF this mob gang come forward
ana swear that Webb hired them to do
the work but did not pay them. Webb
is now IN Washington lighting Judge
Axtell and trying to assist the cause of
the rump senate at Santa Fe. He
would have done better evidently if he
bad remained at home and attended to
his business.
AS things appear now there is a
strong probability that the contemplate
ed new county for the Black range
country will be made. The bill for the
organization of the same has been in
troduced in the house by Nick GALES
aud it has been referred 10 the com.
nittee ON counties of which Mr.. Gales
Is chairman. Mr.. @. therefore has
things pretty much In his own hands
