Judge e. 7. Stone, of Roswell,
Chairman Of the Board of County
Commissioners, has 5000 head of
sheep, besides doing a considerable
ranch business. He has fifty acres OF
alfalfa growing nicely, and putting
in fifty acres more. Mr.. Stone thinks
alfalfa pays better, with less work,
than any other crop farmer can
put in. Out Of the four cuttings it
averages over four tons TO the acre,
at so per ton, making nearly 500
per acre foS the season. Horses that
are not worked too hard will fatten on
this grass without being fed grain.
After once seeded, all the work it
requires for years is irrigating and
cutting.

A bold Bit Of highway robbery took
place at late hour Saturday night, the
victim of which wa, Mr. Ed. Murray, n
deaf and dumb man, who lives on Horace
Eycrctt's farm near Underwood, about
fourteen miles from the city. Murray
was proceeding homeward, with his
team and wagon, and when about four
miles the other side of Parks mill, three
men jumped out from the roadside,
stopped the team, and assaulted him 50
iiercrly that he was knocked out Of the
wagon onto the ground, and pounded SO
badly that lie was inscnsiblc, and
when he came 10 himself he
was lying in field, the fellows
having apparently thrown him over
the fence, after searching his pockets,
and had then driven OFF with the team.
They only got 50 from his pockets, the
rest of his money, about S}j, being hid
den in his shoes, so that escaped their no

to u ncighbor's house, and there made
his trouble known. The authorities We're
at once notified, and kilograms were
sent out IN every direction TO head oil the
fellows. Yesterday word was received
from Ayoca that the team had been
found near there, but the follows had not
been captured at last reports. Murray

10 tell it, us u large reward had been OF

family that might he brought back dead
or alive. Why they should continue so
silent upon this matter To even the pres
cnt day remains mystery,
Some hint that they might have over
taken the family who, giving mp some of
their ill-gOtt1n wealth, prevailed upon
them to keep silent, and allow them to
escape. But thisis only vague conjecture.
There are those who believe that beyond
doubt that identical family can be
found in Germany today if any one
takes the trouble 10 go there and look
for them. The bodies of several persons
were found buried in the orchard. The
graves were found 10y taking the end

them into the ground here and there un-

in every instance proved TO be Il grave.

Took q Ticker.

A young man from the country, named
ii. j. Brown, was seeing the city Satur-
day night, and fell into the company of
some railway boys, among them one
named w. +. Crew, who claims To be ~
brakeman on one of the roads running
in here. Brown says he kept spending
his money freely with the boys, and
when it was about gone, and there seem
ed to be Il shortage Of wealth with the
others in the party, il was suggested that
he should let his watch be pawned, so as
to provide means for more drinks, TO
which he objected, but his protests We're
not needed, and the watch was taken
from him by force. He claimed that
Crew was the one who thus robbed him,
and the police being informed hunted up
the offender and arrested him. The
watch was found hidden in the grass n
short distance from the cabooSe where
Crew was found. He denies that he in
tended to keep the watch, but the way in
which it was hidden is strongly against
him. Yesterday an attempt was being
made TO get the matter squared up, but
the officers, who had spent n good deal
of time in hunting up the case, did not
take kindly TO the idea Of having Crew
get off so easy, and he was being kept in
durancc until he can have hearing i'll
