Jacob N. Stutzman, the unfortunate
victim of the revolving crime at Las
Vegas, was native of Ohio, aged prob
ably 50 years or more, and had lived in
Las Vegas for six years. AT the inquest,
held yesterday Mrs. Tulsa Ortega, a
woman with whom deceased lived, was
the principal witness, and she related a
rather conflicting story. The Optic says:
Her brother, Eulogio Ortega, who is
known to have threatened the life Of
Stltzman in the past. was this morning
arrested by Special Deputy Sheriff W. M.
Edwardy, and committed to Jail on sus-
picion. He has big scratch OH the side
Of his face, the origin of which he does
not satisfactorily explain, offering three
or four stories regarding how he came by
it. A long lariat, broken and knotted at
one end, more or less covered with sand
and dirt, was found in his wagon, with
which it is believed that the unfortunate
victim was dragged to his doom. Mr..
Edwardy has also made another arrest,
to which no little Importance is attached,
the suspect being Gabriel Heinseman,
an old shoemaker, who has several
bruises on his face, about which he tells
several conflicting stories. These two
were seen with Stutzman late the night
OF the 4th. A purse is being raised to
prosecute the suspects.
Las Vegas philosophy: Every man
seems to have "of'' days. Occasionally
we meet man as cross as dog who was
perfectly good natured the day before.
One fit of the sulks makes a man good
natured for a week, so it is not bad
thing for him to occasionally give way to
his disposition.
