 SANTA FE. \. M., March 16.-A feud between rival factions at Raton culmi- mated to-day in active hosti ities, which at this hour, (6 p. m., has already re- suited in the death of three men and the wounding Of another, with Q prospect Of still graver issue be'ore order Is re- stored. Telegrams have been coming a l day from the authorities at Springer, the county seat of COlfax cSsnty, to Secretary Losch, acting Governor in tine absence of Governor Sheldon at New Orleans, imploring the assistance of taocps to prevent bloodshed, and giving intelligence of reign of terror there prevailing, the town being Tn the hands of despersdoes. The facts as telegraphed bp District Attorney Mills are briefly as fol ows: Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Lee arrested Todd, one of the Rogers party, of Raton. Todd telegraphed Rogers, who came to Springer with a number of followers who, after their arrival, frs beat the district constable with a pistoi and ordered him to leave town, also d. c.ared that officer Lee and Chas. r Martin, editor of the Springer Stock nm, must go. Martin went. Officers Lee and kimball took refuge in the springer jail and stood their ground sl night where they were Vi lad this morn- ing by the Rogers party, and fight took place, resulting in the desth of Rogers, and King and Red River Sam, two of his followers; an innocent by- stander besides was wounded. Emissa- ries from Rogers party were ct once sent to Raton for hfrrcements and a number have already arrived and more are coming. It is feared they will at- tempt to take the officers from jail to- night, when a fight will ensue. The off, cers are alone, people are intimidated and wild with excitement. There being no militia nearer than Las Cruces, Sec retary Losch called upon Gen. Bradley for aid of federal troops, and by his di- rection. with the approval of Ger. Au- gur at Fort Leavenworth. Kansas, twenty men and two officers left Fort Union at f D. m. for Springer by special train where they will arrive at to -nIght-lt, is feared too late to prevent a cata t ophe. The trouble grew out of ng standing feud. Rogers was the desper-I ado who nearly killed a sheriff in Oc.D- Der last, when trying to arrest hIm for killing one Miller for refusing to dance on commando; but some of the civil au- thorities, it appears, are bad men, and public sentiment at Raton and Springer IS divided as to the merits of the contro- versy.
 Later information states that ROgers' party are being reinforced and are run ming the town with high hand. Gov. Losch and posse departed for the scene of trouble at 10 30 p. m., and will arrIvc tomorrow morning.
