Ballou's Magazine for April is a.

Ballon's Magazine for April is as
good as usual. 1t leeds off with an
illustrated article on India, an i'm
partant production at the present
time, when Russia and England are
glaring at each other in Afghanistan.
Then comes "Lewey and I; or,
Sailor Boys Wanderings," by VIM.
II. Thomes, author OF THE Belle Of
Australia" and Son Land and Sea-"
two well known books Of travel and
adventure, and which have had
largo sale. In this part of the story
the American and French boys start
on an overland journey from San
Diego to Los Angeles, California,
and meet with many strange advcn-
lures on the way, from an enraged
bull to a fierce mountain lion; and
att a lonely rancho a beautiful little
girl--a regular prairie howcr--to
whom Lewey makes fierce love in
his usual impetuous manner, and
gets rcbulcd for his boldness. Tho
story is growing in interest and prom
ises to be the authors best. Re.
member this narrative is OF Califor-
mia life during the early days of the
Mexican War, and is historically
correct in all its dates and incidents
so most prove of interest to thousands
of people, besides the boys and girls
of the country. Ballous is only
$3.50 per year, or Is cents single
number, and is the best Magazine in
the country at the price. Address,

LINCOLN LINCOLN COUNTY. N. M, MARCH 26, 1885

two Mexicans named Maximo Apo
daca and Rnperto Lara arrested and
taken before the grand jury at Las
Cruces, where Apodaca made a clean
breast of the affair, confessing every
thing. He and Lora had plot
worked mp to kill Nesmith and
family and steal the horses just as
they were leaving Tularosa, but for
some reason it didn't work. They
waited until they reached the White
Sands, where ApoiIo. aayo LaIs
killed Nesmith and his wife with t
pistol and he (Apodaca) to show tia
he was as brave as his villainioa
partner, killed he girl from ball o.
his rifle. This was done shortly
after dark on the main travelled road,
They drove the team some two miles
off the road, and after getting away
with q blanket, quilt, coat and
the horses they fed for the Ric
Grande.
Thus these wretches, for a sum
that would hardly reach 800, com
mitted one Of the most cowardly and
brutal murders ever known in the
history Of New Mexico crimes.

LETTER FROM TEXAS.


DEAR Mr.. EDIToE:-Thinking you
would like to hear from one of Lin
coin county's truant sons will give
you a few items from this place.
This has been the coldest winter
ever known here and many cattlo
have died but not half as many as
was anticipated month or two ago.
There is considerable complaint from
loss OF sheep ana horses in western
and southwestern Texas and it is
talked that number of horse and
sheep men ara going to New Mexico
this summer.
There is considerable comment here
by stockmen on the quarantine laws
in the different states and territories.
The general opinion is that it is all
caused by jealousy and that it will
only last short time, but all say
that it will stop the the cattle trafc
this year. In speaking of Colorado
quarantining against New Mexico,
they say that "they are glad of it,"
"servos 'em right;' that "New Mex
leo has done more bowling and
had the less cause to howl than
any other state or territory" and
the general opinion is that "they are
cutting off their noses to spite
their faces" "that by quaran-
timing against cattle, they only
make an outlet for horses and
sheep and are thereby trading off the
devil for the witch.'" Some of the
western cattlemen say that if they
can get rid of their horses and sheep
they will have plenty of range for
their cattle. That one horse will
consume more grass than two head
of cattle and that sheep destroy the
range entirely.
There is no cattle trading going
on here to amount to anything and
cattle are cheap. Plenty of cattle
Offering, but no buyers. Everybody
is waiting to see how the quarantine
is going to terminate. Good prairie
raised cattle are worth $l6.

a watertown l,yis.l ssnsation.

Papers have heen fled III a suit fordiyorce
by DIR. James II. Cody,0 Watertown, Wis,
against his wife, Theresa Cody. The COM
plaint charges adultery with Clarence
Brown. The couple were married in 1880
and have one child four years old. The
suit is likely TO create a sensation through
out the state, whore DIR. Cody is well known.
About six weeks ago it is alleged DIR.
Cody attempted suicide by taking ten
grains OF morphine. Only the most
active exertion on the part OF
his brother physicions saved his life. 1t
was then alleged that DIR. Cody's actionwas
the result OF a discovery made by him a
short time previous TO his attempt on his
life, the nature OF which is revealed in the
complaint for divorce.
Young Brown, who is mentioned in the
complaint, is the son OF Peter Brown, a
banker and well known citizen OF Water.
town. Brown was engaged in business in
Watertown at the time OF the above Incl
dent, but shortly afterward sold out and
went West. He returned a week ago and
was quietly married to Miss Kitty Pugh OF
Watertown. Immediately after the mar
riage the newly welded couple took the
train for q Minnesota town, where young
Brown has charge Of an elevator.

London Cable: The reports OF the cholera
which reaches here from Spain betray a
frightFul condition of things. The epidemic
is spreading more and more, and the ae-
counts OF it's terriable ravages which have
come to London have aroused great
anxiety among all persons who are in
any way concerned in Spanish affairs.
The stories which come from the infected
districts recall the worst cf the scene which
are associated with famine and wan. For
example, in the town of Erlain the province
ofSaragossa, there is no longer a mayor or
a municipal government. The mayor and
all the city officials are dead, stricken down
by the plague, and all the doctors and
chemists of the place have fallen victims to
the pestilence. The shops are all closedand
the town is deserted by most Of the inhabi-
tants.
This is an instance of what is COM
monty going on throughout Spain, the pro-
vinciai towns shutting their gates to all
iatruders-physicians and government Off
GERS, as well as people entering from the
seat OF disease. The survivors OF Erla are
consequently camped out on the hillside
and without houses, and with but scanty
means OF subsistence. According to the
latest news some OF them had set fire to
the town, hoping by that means to burn
out the plague. Thefear Of the importation
OF cholera is taking practical shape all along
the Mediterranean coasts.

Murder in Anoka, siinn.

Anoka, Mimi, was excited over the fatal
shooting Of Peter Gross by William f. Mir
rick, which occurred after midnight OF the
10th. The shooting took place in front Of
Jackson's hotel, and was the unpreme ditat-
ed freak of a man crazed with drink. Mir
lex, who is a printer, well. known in both
Minneapolis and st. Pa1l, and who had
been employed on the Evening
Journal fer the past four weeks,
drank in three different saloons before
going to his family, who reside in Anoka.
He then told his wife he overheard some
parties say they were goingdownto see Mrs
A:-, ssTG &c G5Tnsnded MS revolver,
which she gave him, saying he was going to
shoot somebody. He then came back up
town, and meeting Gross and jackson, the
proprietor OF the hotel, the former banter
ingiy inquired OF Mirick If he wasn't out
pretty late. Mirick replied, you think you
are smart" and told him to go into the
house, which Gross refused TO do, and after
a few more words Mirick pulled a revolver
out Of his pocket and fired, the bullet going
over Gross's head. Mirick fired again, and
the second bullet struck Gross in the left
side, about six inches above the hip.

effects OF oil. A tank OF paint oilwastak
