day, March |, and Tuesday, April |, as
Arbor days in this territory; the LIST of
March to be observed in the county OF
Bernalllo and all counties to the south

about the homes and along the highways,
AS we'll as i'll the public grounds and cene-
terles OF New Mexico, thus contributing

of our territory. This is especially neces-
sary in New Mexico, where such planting
has been too much neglected in tine past.
Every line of acequlas should be line Of
tractive and adding value to all the adj
jacent land.
Ii every property owner will plant along
the acequias within his own boundaries
on this occasion, the improved appear
ance of the country within five years will
be most gratifying. Let every citizen
devote one day to this purpose.

our schools this day be observed, by the
planting of trees in the school house
grounds where practicable, and by calling
the attention OF the children to the i'm

their care and preservation.

THE SUPREME COURT,


The supreme court convened at 9o'cIock
this morning. Again Judge Long failed
to put in an appearance, but nevertheless
the court transacted some business, Just
ice McFie presiding.
Opinions were handed down in two
cases One by Justice Whiteman in the
case of Guadalupe S. de Garcia Y Perea
vs.. Mariana Barela, executor Of the estate
OF Pedro Garcia Perea, deceased, of
Dona Ana county. The decision of the
lower court was affirmed.
In the case of David Abrahams VS.. the
California Powder company, Grant
county suit, Justice Lee handed down an
opinion reversing the decision of the
lower court, and deciding highly I'M
portant business principle BY an ex-
plosion of a powder house near Silver City,
Ill which large quantity of powder owned
by tins company was stored, the building
of Abrahams was damaged to the extent
OF some $500 and suit to recover this
amount was brought against the Powder
company, and the lower court decided the
company TO be liable.
The supreme court holds that the agent
or commission merchant had the care and
control Of the house in which the eX-
plosive was kept, and i'll such cases not
the Powder company but the agent or
commission merchant in charge OF the
property is responsible for any damage
resulting from such accidents.

SAN JUAN ALL RIGHT.
No Money. But Justice for the Indians
OtticiaIs On the Ground.

| The San Juan Index at hand this morn
ing contains five columns on the subject
OF the Navajo difficulties. There are 500
settlers on the San Juan river and not
very far off are 5000 angry Navajo In
dams who have grievance, but the diff
ference in numbers is scarcely taken into
account in making up policy to be pur-
sued. At a rousing public meeting the
demands of the Navajos were discussed
and the following resolutions adopted
Resolved That the American people
of San Juan county have millions for de-
Tense, but not dime for compromise with
the Indians.
Resolved, That the white people Of
San Juan county are willing that those
implicated in the killing OF the Navajo
near Aztec on the 23d of December Shall
he brought to trial before the legally con-
stituted tribunals Of the territory OF New
Mexico, before which the man supposed
to have done the killing is willing and
ANXIOUS to appear for trial.
Resolved, That Sub-Agent Adams is
hereby requested to bring the Navajoes
who Witnessed the killing before any
Judicial tribunal and lodge a complaint,
and the accused will appear for trial.
A cOmmitte of three, with Sheriff Car
son at lis head, was named to convey
these resolutions to Sub-Agent Adams,
with instructions to inquire whether the
method of settlement therein proposed
is satisfactory, and ii not, to inquire
what will be satisfactory, and return ard
report.
The committee visited the sub-agency,
across the river from Oio, ON Sunday,
and held an extendad conference with
Capt Adams, the sub-agent, and some OF
the NavBjOs. They express Il satisfaction
at the proposition to adjust the difficulty
under the forms of law; and warrant
will be sworn out before Justice White of
Olio, as soon as the witnesses can be got
together and the necessary papers sent to
the sheriff for service. The accused John
Cox, who is supposed to have fired the
shot that killed the Navajo, is to appear
for examination before Justice Smith at
Aztec.

seem to be myth and fraud in view OF
the TACT that it TAILS to publish the news.
''Press dispatches" that contain no news
scarcely meet the demands of the reading
public. It's news the people want, and
the New MEXICAN is always the first to
give it to them, especially the news from
Washington, where such great interest is
now centered.
Some villainous rascals broke through
a window i'll an clubhouse at st. Eincent's
hospital last night and carried off eight or
ten sacks OF flour. It's hard to acknowl-
edge it, but this would seem to indicate
that some OF the meanest men on earth
live hereabouts; no others would thus rob
the Sisters of Charity and the orphans
under their care. The flour was carted
off in wheel barrows. The police author-
ties might atone for great many short
comings in the past by running down
these thieves.
