lection OF the heart. The captain has

All day yesterday the water coming
from the pipes of the Aqua Pura company
was so muddy that it could not be used,
and to-day it is but little better. There
must have been tremendous freshet in
the mountains above, and yet it seems
strange if such has been the case that
the Gallinas river was so low at this
point. The manager of the water COM
pany states that the company's reservoirs
were overlooked from this freshet, aud
caused the water to become muddy and
unfit for use.-Las Vegas Optic.
At the annual Cochiti feast and chicken
pull, a pitched battle took place with
sticks and rocks, between the Santo Do
mingo Indians ON one side, and the
Cochiti and about thirty Mexicans on the
other side, in which the Santo Domingo
came out first best A great deal of blood
was split on both sides. The participants
who were seriously hurt were brought to
Wallace, and had their wounds dressed
at Norheet's drug store. Considerable
bad feeling exists and may be shown at
any time. The Santo Domingo Indians
hold the big dance August 4.
A number of business men of Deming
met at the store of G. H. Dane & Co. on
Monday evening to consider the PROPOSE
ton in regard to smelter at Deming,
made by J. II. Flagler. The matter was
thoroughly discussed apd considerable of
the money asked was promptly subscribed.
A committee, consisting OF G. Wormser,
Judge Bristol and l. Fleishman, was ap-
pointed to present the matter to citizens
not present, and we understand their sue
cess justifes the belief that the required
$50, 900 will all be Observation-Disclosures.
