FENCECUTrERs IL NEW MEXICO
Many Miles of Wires Nipped by the In
dignant CoMboYs

dignant Cowboys.
\ Las Vegas { n. NJ. ) dispatch to the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says: Fence-cut-
ting is going on in COlfax county at a
most destructive rate under a strong or.
ganization. An almost unbrOken line OF
wire from the Ponie to the Toguisguite.
90 miles, has been cut.
The heaviest sufferers are the ked
River Cattle Company, 4 miles; Col. J. ;.
Taylor. 20 miles; W. Miles. miles; J. W.
Keller, miles; Francis CluttOn, 10 miles
j. q. Duncan, miles. The work on the
fences of the Dubuque Cattle Company
began last night, and they viii lose ten
miles of wire. The cutters are not
known.
The work of the fence-cutters was as
systematic as the workings of metro
pOlItan police force. Each man was
mounted, and they were placed in squads
OfcOnvenient numbers. The squads would
ride up to the fences, a man would drop
out at a corner and cut for the extent of
half a mile or more up TO where another
fellow had begun work, then jump into
the saddle and rush to the head of the line
again, after the style Of schOOlbOys play
ing leapfrOg. They cut the panels in the
middle, leaving not one solid panel along
the entire line of devastation.
This is done because heavy cattle-Own-
ers fence more ground that their deeds
call for. In so doing they keep cattle on
the public domain from getting at the
water, for the want of which they drift
against the fences and die from thirst.
Three hundred and fifteen head OF cattle
died along Col. TaylOr's fences last spring,
which goes to show the evil OF barbed
wire in endless lengths.
Senator Dorsey, who owns sixty miles
square of fenced lands at PalO Blanca,
addressed the cutters at Springer yester-
day, and said to them that if they would
inform him when they got ready to begin
operations on his wire he would take ii
down voluntarily and reel it up, thus
saving tons of barb that would otherwise
90 to waste. They said they would give
MIN notice in time to save trouble.

posed exclusively Of gold and silver. 1t
should be clearly announced that the
production of silver was one of
the industries of the United States,
and that the nation was
planted on that platform and would not
get of OF it. Mr.. Brown opposed the Sem
ate Committees amendment to the House
bill, and hoped that the House bill pro-
Yiding merely for the redemption of the
trade dollars would be passed by the
Senate and that the Senate provision to
suspend the coinage of standard silver
dollars would not be passed.
Mr.. Bayard followed. He remarked
upon the exceeding Importance of the
question before the Senate and the fact
that Notwithstanding its Importance
there were scarcely a score of Senators in
the chamber.
Mr.. Bayard strongly opposed the re-
demptlOn OF the trade dollar at its face
value. Indeed, be objected to the word
redemption" in connection with it.
Trade dollars were in the same category
as silver bars. After giving a history of
the coinage of the United States and of
the trade dollars, Mr.. Bayard said that in
1866 the trade dollar was struck out from
the list OF coins OF the United States. 1t
never had any place there except to the
extent or nVe dollars. Mr.. Bayard adVO-
Gated a suspension of the silver coinage
act. he would prefer an act fayOring a
more prompt suspension than that pro-
Vlded by the Senate committees amend
ment under consideration, but if the
present measure was the best that could
now be had he would support it. MIR.
Bayard occupied the time to the adjourn
ment, which was taken at 3:45 O'Clock.

lowing day. Subsequently both may
plead their cause together. The manage

Death of an Aged Woman, Who Had

Sallie ketner, who was known as ssthe

society and neighbOrs. The tumble.

Of the falling timbers struck the old wo-
inan and she was so badly Injured that
sne died shortly after being taken from
tue wreck. Four of her faVOrite dogs
were also killed. The old woman was 81
years old and lived in voluntary exile in
the same old dilapidated utexactly forty
eight years.
The story of her eccentric life would
ill book. When she took up her soIi-
tary abode she was SO yOars old. People
remember her as a stout, healthy and
comely woman. The story goes that in
ner youthful days she fell in love with a
prepOssessing young man, who followed

promise that H. five years he would make

She abhOrred men, never spoke to them

houses are mostly constructed of millet stalks,
and scattered over a wide area; but the town

the heart of Africa, in 1871, saw in it ga large
number of new brick buildings, a spacious
quay on the banks of the Blue Nile, and some
stlll more imposing erectlOns on the other side
OF the river" There are extensive gardens
and rows of date palms planted nearly half
century ago. The defective drainage of the
portion Of the town built below high water
level renders it very unhealthy. The inhabi
