LINCOLN LINCOLN COUNTY. n M. JUNE 25. 1885

Lieut.. Scott, the present quarter
master at TT. Stanton, is encouraging
the ranchmcn and residents of this
county, by buying hay and yra II
here instead of sending to Kansas,
! wEere an inferior article is sold for
a much higher price. While this is
nothing more than right, quarter
mastars heretofore instead OF being
help to the county, have gone out of
their way it seems, to send east for
everything they used. We are glad
that Lieut.. Scott has made this de
clded improvement, for the ranch
man, the grocerynan and the
printerman need the help of the
government if there is any to be
given, as bad as the sufferers in
Bleeding Kansas.
Yesterday was San Juan'e Day.
1t is a lay looked for by the Mex
lean people with great anxiety, for
work is put to one side, and gen
cral good time is had by all in horse
racing, catching the rooster, etc.
The last named is very exciting
and dangerous game, played in this
manner: A hole is dug and rooster
IS placed in it, so that nothing but
the head of the fowl is above ground.
AS many as wish to enter the game
mount horses and get off some dis
tancc from the hole. When all are
ready one Of the riders start out as
fast as his horse can carry him
towards the rooster, and as he passes
it, endeayors to Jerk it out of the
ground. In turn the others do the
same. When the lucky one sue
ceeds in rescuing the fowl, then
the real fun commences, for the rest
of the number give him chase.
Should his horse prove the fastest,
the rooster is his, but if he is over
taken, the bird is again returned to
the hole and the game played over.
The game is dangerous one, but
those that generally take part be-
come quite proficient, grabbing the
smallest article as they dash bv.

A Mexican boy came in from
Baca's ranch Monday night and re-
ported that there were a band of In
dians in the Ca pitan mountains and
that they had killed several head of
sheep. Capt. Baca went to the ranch
post haste, and found four old JIG
arilla bucks, who had killed one
sheep. They asked for the mutton
and the herder gave them one, but
it was not fat enough to suit their
fastidious tastes, so it was exchanged
for another without the herder's per-
mission. That's about the size OF
the Indian scares in this county.
But what business have those In
dlans IN the Captain Mountains?

MlscELLANEoUs.


Ihey SAID that the train was IN
hour behind time, and that informa-
ton made US all feel put out and an
noyed. Therefore, when boy OF
about fourteen, poorly dressed, and
having trampish look, came along
the platform, asking for financial aid
to get him down to R, on the
train we were waiting for, it was nat
ural that one and all should reply:
+" If you want to go to R take
the dirt road! You look as if you
were used to jtramping!"
He had no, saucy word in reply.
When he went and stood in the light
of the window, and 1 saw how be
shivered in the cold wind, and 1 saw
how worried and anxious he seemed
to be, I grew ashamed Of my harsh
words. saw two or three others
look him over as had done, and
had no doubt that they felt as 1 did.
I ought to have walked up to the boy,
and said:
&c Here, my lad, if you really want
to go down to R, I'm willing to
help you. Take this half-dollar.-
How happens it that lad of your age
is cold, ragged, hungry, and away
from home and friends!''
But 1 didn't. l moved toward
him, feeling ashamed, and yet not
quite ready to acknowledge it to him,
and all of a sudden he disappeared.
L reasoned that he had gone up the
hill to the village, and that his wanting
to go to R was all u trick to beat
honest men.
When you reason that way, the
heart grows hard pretty fast, and you
feel bit reyengeful. we talked the
matter ovcr-four or five of us-and
our conclusion was that the boy would
die on the galIows.
Well, the train came along, after n
while, and it was moving away, after
a brief stop, when piercing shrek,
followed by shouts and calls, brought
us to stop.
Somebody's run over!'' called
out voice, and in a moment the
coaches were emptied.
Yes, somebody had been run over
had leg cut off above the knee by
one of the cruel wheels. Who was it !?
How did it thappcn? 1t was our boy
the lad who was to end his days on the
gallows. He had crcpt under the
coach to steal ride on the trucks.
There he was, having only few
minutes to live-his face as white as
the snowbanks-his eyes rowing from
face TO face-hls lips quivering, as
twenty men bent down and spoke
words of sympathy.
Who are you!" asked the con-
ductor.
"Tim."
{" You shouldn't have tried it,"
"But 1 wanted to get to R-so
bad. was up here to find work, but
nobody would have me, and yester-
day heard that mother was dead"
stBut any one would have given you
fifty cents to pay your fare"
"Oh, no they wouldn't! I asked
lots and lots of men, and they said
ought to be in Jail. I--I-wanted-"
There we were-thc half dozen of
us who had repelled him with insult
-wrung his young hcart-and still
more-sent him to his horrible death
under the wheels! We dared not
look into his face-we even stunned
each other.
If it could only come to pass again
if Heaven would but send him back
to earth, and let him stand before US
as he did on that winters night-but
it is too late.-Detrot Free Press.
