4 Mexican Tragedy Near Eagle Pass.
EAGLE PASS, March 3l.-LSpecial.l i
Some days ago, on Negley's sheep
rancho, one of his herders, Christoval
Meldonaba, disappeared mysteriously,
and it was supposed that ne had skipped
the country with fine horse and saddle
belonging 20 the rancho. A couple OF
days later Juan Monez, another herderr,
appeared, wearing the missing mans
leggins and cartridge belt. On being
questioned he said that he and Meldo-
naba quarrelled; that he struck Meldo-
naba, and that the latter fired one shot
at him with his Winchester and then fled
the country. Yesterday Meldonaba's
horse came up to the rancho,
the saddle was covered with clotted
blood. His horse had worn the saddle
for twelve days, and his back was putri,-
fying. Monez was arrested, brought
here and jailed, and a searching party
started in search of Meldonaoa's body.
He was found this evening, by the side
of q small water-hole. He had been shot
from behind through the back and then
through the side of the head. He was
lying partly in the water, and had been
Badly trampled by stock. He was vui-
ture-eaten and purifying. 1t is be-
lieved he remained hanging in the sad
die after death and. was spilled near the
water by his horse He had money tt
his credit, but none on his person.
