Las Vegas has new religious problem
growing out of a meeting between Elder
Whltiock and the outlaw Trujillo. The
question is, did the elder really see the
sheriti's posse after Trujllo, or did he
make this statement to the outlaw in
order to save his $50, and, if the latter,
was an elder Of the church justified in
making statement OF this kind under
the circumstances?

Strange men, well armed and suspicious
looking, are riding wildly about the coun
try, fairly terrorizing the people. The
other nigh, some hay stacks belonging tC
| Don LeandrU Sanchez were set on fire
and other lawless depredations of the like
have been committed in other parts in
his vicinity. People are afraid to leave

to seek their pillows at night for feal
some spite work will be done them. Bad
state OF affairs, this. Is there no remedy
Optic.
Las Cruces crnmb The opponents Of
the new canal are using every effort to
hinder the work and annoy the company
that they can. On Sunday three heavily
armed deputy shertls went up to the
grading camp to serve warrant on f.
IL. Moss, one of the sub-coDtractors, and
twenty unarmed and unknown men for
trespassing on land claimed by Eustaquio
Barela, and wilfully and maliciously cut
ting down trees and isjuring the grass on
this land. Mr.. Moss was away, so the
deputies proceed to arrest nearly every
man they came across up there. They
gathered in men who had never been on
the land, and men who had never done
work on the canal, and brought eleven
men-ten Americans and one Mexican
down to Las Cruces and threw them into
Jail. The land on which the trespass was
claimed to have been made does not be-
long to the man who swore to the affidavit
on which the informal warrant was is,
sued. The land was in contest last year
and the contest was decided against the
self-styled owner more than seven months
ago.
