suit of the Land Company of New Mexico tlim
tied against Stephen B. Elkins and others, de-

RICH fully possessed of the land and denied any
wrong intent. The court held that was

A Unique BIT of DIabolism.
Lafayette Times.

Lafayette Times.
Henry Syfritz is employee Of the Hengen
brick yards at the east end Of Union street, and
until yesterday morning was a first-cIass
pedestrian. He was good workman and as far
rs is known was without enemies unless. as is
surmised, he had paid addresses to a young lady
who was at the same time receiving another's
attention. But If there were revenge and dire
punishment in store for him he was unaware
of it until when he awoke yesterday
morning Ee tried to arise, and, unable to
do so, Mortified to see his bed
clothes saturated with blood. TIE poor fellow
examined closer and found that some weapon,
welded by unknown hands, had severed the
balls of his feet entirely destroying their useful
ness. The effect Is che same as cutting ham
strings of q horse. The missions must have
been made with an exceedingly sharp instru-
ment, as the victim was only brought to a knowl
edge OF them by his inability TO rise, the blood
on the bed-ciothes and the horrible agony he
endured when he realized the deed. The per-
