given that night. Tuesday morning
every boy in the outfit was broken,

up. But the boys acted like gentle

Lieut.. Scott has been relieved as
quartermaster at Fort Stanton, and
Lieut.. Stotsenburg has been ap-
pointed in his place. The ranch
men Of this county lose one of their
best friends. \ quartermaster at Fort
Stanton can do a great deal of good
for a county or they can do a great
deal of harm, but Mr.. Scott was al
ways found on the side of the poor
man as against the schemers at Santa
Fe or Leavenworth. We hope
Lieut.. Stotsenburg will treat our
citizens as well as did his prede-
CessOr.
Last Saturday week, at Seven
Rivers, a lot of Americans, sheep
herders, cowboys, and some other
fellows who have no occupation, had
a difficulty with some Msxicans over
cards. Things were quieted down
just then, but the next morning
about daylight they surrounded the

aboard all the poison they can carry,
and then shoot up things. What
the good citizens Of that country
want, is an officer who will do his
duty, and let the boys understand
