Ten herds of cattle that came over the trail from Texas, crossed the Rio Grande below Sabinal, in this county, during four days of this week, nearly all destined for this county.-Socorro Bullion.

The usual quiet and law-abiding order of our city was yesterday broken by fatal shooting, which seems, from what can be learned to have been of most unprovoked character. Wilson Douglass was talking with a man named Linston about mine they had been going out to work together, when he sud- denly struck Linston three times with his rifle, and then stepping back shot him through the breast just above the heart. Linston's wife and child were beside him at the time. The wounded man only lived a few hours. The murderer was arrested. From what an Epi- taph reporter was able to learn from a bystander, it seems that Douglass, who was going out to work on a mine with Linston, was late, and when he came up Linston had got another man, which led to the at tack as already stated.-Tomb- stone Epitaph.

A Douglas correspondent of the Cheyenne Northwestern Live Stock Journal shows as follows that the stockmen in Wyoming don't pro- pose to be robbed by pools: "The fact that the Cary Company will drive several thousand head from within a few miles of this point to Rock Creek, distance of ninety miles, is apparently worrying the Northwestern people. So far as I can learn an agreement, virtually amounting to a pool, was entered into between the Union Pacific and the Northwestern to charge the same rate from Rock Creek and Douglas, on the one hand, and the same from Lusk and Cheyenne on the other. The idea that underlies this agreement is that each road will get all the cattle that are near est to it, and that there will only be a struggle for the shipments about equally distant from both tracks. Therefore the circumstance that cattle are going from right under the nose of the Northwestern to the Union Paci0c is we'll calculated to excite suspicion of a secret cut.

Amateur Dramatic Association.


A few gentlemen interested In the
formation Of an amateur dramatic as
socialion met last evening by appoint
ment at DR.. Whitney's Office, and
after discussion of the object which
called them together perfected an
organization. The officers chosen
were. president. s. Gordon; vice presi.
dent. M. M. Russell; secretary and
treasurer. H. b. Wiley; stage man.
ager, A. C. Logan. The unprece.
dented success of the Custer Dramatic
Club that flourished here three or four
years ago, warrants the belief that Q
similar association will be- favorably
received by our citizens. The chief
end 10 view Is to provide a means of
breaking up the monotony of The dull
win ter season by series of dramatic
entertainments Of q character fully
within the scope of amateurs, who be-
ing well known will excite an interest
In the audiences not felt at profess
sional performances. There is with
out doubt good supply of talent to
draw upon. and the character of the
ladies and gentlemen engaged in the
performances will ensure large and
IL is to be hoped enthusiastic
audience at each of the per.
formances. The details of or.
ganization will be pushed through
and It expected to have play in re-
hearsal within ten days and ready for
pro duction early in January.
