Mesila valley waf Owing to Mex
leans carelessness in allowing the water
to run all Saturday night, Mr.. Fosters
straw berry field was completely flooded
yesterday morning, running fine crop of
berries and causing w. E. DeLany to dis
appoint numerous customers.
Messrs |. J Sharick, j. w. Palmer and
Mr.. Abbott yesterday made careful ex-
animation of this route to San Pedro
This road would shorten the distance to
San Pedro about fourteen miles. They
report that road could be made over
this route for light vehicles at a slight ex-
pense, but that it would take $4,000 or
$1,000 to make road for heavy freight
wagons They think this expenditure
would make better road than the old
one now used through Tijeras canon.
The Santa Fe road in New Mexico is
crowded with cars full of cattle. Never be-
fore were there so many cattle being ship
ped out of the territory. They come from
New Mexico and Arizona, very few from
Texas, and are shipped to the northern
ranges in Montana. Joe Overhuls, stock
agent for the Santa Fe in Las Vegas,
who isn't getting much sleep these days,
says that $50 cars of cattle have been
moved over this division this month. Fiji
teen car loads came in to-day and the
company is hard run to furnish cattle
cars.-Optic.

a party of horse thieves met their just |
deserts below Anthony, In this county, a
few days ago. They were making for
Old Mexico with lot of stolen horses. |
A pursuing party passed through Anthony
and returned the next day with their hors-
es, telling the people of that town that
there were Il "lot of stray animals down
there" and advising them to 60 and see
if there were any belonging to them.
Several parties went and found instead of
stray horses the dead bodies of the three
horse thieves, one on the ground and the
two others dangling from the limb of a
convenient tree. 1t is said that one of
the victims was Geronimo Para, who was
once inside of our county Jail charged
with horse stealing.-Las Cruces News.
