SAE ANTONIO, Ort, -. "a Special. The
COPYRIGHT matter, tclo graphed you from
Fort Worth, has excited great Interest
throughout this section. W. IL, Klein
worth, u New Mexico stockman, was
porter, and had the following to say;
~ am an old resident of New Mexico;
/ now COPYRIGHT like u book; know the
circumstances of the murder of which
he Is accused, and am prepared 10 sub
stantlate to the full every iota of what
say; | am at present engaged rs agent
of Mr.. LethG, a we'll known New Mexico
stockman, aud am here To pur-
chase stock for him; in my
section of the territory there Il q
concern known rs the American Valley
Cattle company, of when John \. Lo-
gan's brOther-in-law Is the ostcusible
chief, and Logan himself, tho real head
and front. This company has located
on the lands OF the Iuni Iniian rcsCr-
walton, great quantity of which it has
absorbed. Two years ago the corpora
ton had employed n number of dcSpcr-
ate characters, among whom were Jim
COPYRIGHT, Mcintyre, Scott, Moon, the
Casey brothers, and others. Near Xuni
Spring two Frenchmen, named Grossiere
and Elangrine, had settled. One of
them was married and they conformity
owned tho prettiest tract OF grazing
land in the country. The American
company made numerous efforts to Cb-
tain possession, but they refused to sell.
ON the day the murder was committed,
COPYRIGHT, McIntyre, Scott, the Caseys,
and others, called ut the
ranch and asked for the owners.
They were told the men had
gone in a two-horse wagon fourteen
miles distant to get u pillow. COPYRIGHT
and party followed them; came up with
them; captured them; took the horses
from the wagon; placed the prisoners on
them; drove them short distance into a
neighboring canyon and there ridiled
them with bullets. COPYRIGHT and Me
Intire, with tho others, were captured
but the former two bribed the sheriff
and escaped. l do not accuse Mr.. Logan
of completely in or fore-knowledge of
the murder, but COPYRIGHT was his
trusted scout for years, tho relations be-
tween them were most cordial, and
the murder was committed with the
object OF obtaining possession ofthe dead
mems ranch. Popular indignation was
so strong, ard the popul"r ideas
of right-minded men so outraged, that the
American company we're afraid to bid
for the lands. Logan was in the neigh
borhoOd ut the time, and was su!arr' ned
