On last Thursday the case of F. J. Jacoby, constable of Winslow Precinct, came up for hearing before Justice Ser ain Apodaca. He was charged with making an assault with deadly weapon upon one of the sheep-herders of .Poli- carpio Armijo. The preliminary trial resulted in the binding over of Jacoby to the District Court in the sum of five hundred dollars.
 On Saturday following the case of c. F. Cate, complained of for failure to post a table of fees in his office, came up and the case was dismissed upon the ground that the forfeiture, as laid in the belonged to the Territory, and the proper tribunal for the adjudi- cation of the matter was in the County or District Court. Another complaint involving the same subject matter was filed and the summons served upon the defendant the same day. In such cases the statute allows the party complaining to recover as forfeiture from the de- fendant the sum of twenty dollars per day. The amount sought n this case IS two hundred and eighty dollars.
 Several other suits have been insti- tuted against the same parties by the Armijos. These suits are but the con- tinuation of the trouble between the Aztec Cattle Company and the Armijo sheep-herders as noted in our last issue. These controversies are liable to create much bitterness and serious complica- tions, unless the rights of the parties concerned are definitely ascertained, understood and respected The readiest solution of the difficulties would be for foreign sheep-herders, like the Indians, to be kept on their reservations. They have no rights or privileges of domicile in thls Territory, and as protection to the citizens and property bearing all the burdens of government, they must be taught how true it is, '"that birds who can sing, and wont sing, must be made to sing"

"Chata and Chinita,' novel of Mex ican life by Mrs. Louise Palmer Heaven, begins in the June number of the Over land Monthly. Mrs. Heaven has been favorite contributor both to the first series of the Overland and to the pres ent magazine. Her contributions have been chiefly stories and sketches of Mex leo country with which she is familiar from long residence. She does not de- scribe American life in Mexico, but the life of the Mexicans themselves, enter ing into their point of view. As story of the inner life of rich Hacienda, and the real character of Mexican Senoras and Senoritas, it should be more valua- ble than Ramona" on account of the much more intimate acquaintance of the writer with the subject.

We learn that in the roundup cattle belonging to New Mexican ranches, in the three P brand were found and claim ed by their owners. The stock had been purchased by one of our resident cattle men. The loss was made good by the seller without a word. It does seem strange and alarmingly frequent, that the memories of some people should be- come so perverse and their carelessness so great, that their brands are hopeless Iy confused with those of their neigh bors, so that in selling stock they are subjects to endless mistakes and embar- rassments. Will some one rise and ex- plain. It would be mamfestly cruel and unjust to insinuate that the memory of any one was so treacherous that they would borrow stock and forget to carry them back.
