waste. The action of the Acomas will
deprive the Indians here of their wheat,
and will necessarily cause much suffering
among the poorest Of the tribe this COM
ing winter.
Kingston comment: 1t was the defec-
tive f1ue, carelessness, and shortage of
water that caused the fiery loss at Ger
rillos, just like our own FIRE losses in
Kingston. How much better it would
have been to expend q couple OF thous.
and dollars in perfecting our water sys-
tenn, or seven or eight dollars in putting
in good fue, etc., than to see $4,000
worth OF property going up in smoke.
Eddy note: Plans for the new water
works have been drawn by Fred Piont-
kowsky. Water will be pumped from the
splendid springs about mile above town
into reservoir, and will be conducted TO

From there small mains will branch into
every section of town. The company in
tends to have the works in operation by
the time the railroad reaches here.

Silver City Sentinel: Edward Foun-
tain, son of Col. A. J. Fountain, of Las
Cruces, was shot at Pinos Altos on the
morning Of the 9Th instant, about 2
o'clock, by certain woman named Lucy
Small. The ball entered the abdomen a
little to the right side. The deceased
lived until 10 O'Clock of that day. There
are contradictory statements as to the
cause of the killing. AS near as we can
get at it, the deceased was at the woman's
house, where he was boarding. No prior
trouble or difficulty was known to have
come up between them. She runs board
ing house, and her contention is that the
deceased was making noise on the outside,
abusing her, calling her bad names, etc.
She says he was under the influence Of
liquor, and she tried to coax him to keep
quiet. She finally fired, so she states, for
the purpose Of soaring him she had no
intention of shooting him. She did not
know that she had shot him until after
daylight that morning. This is the
womans statement. The woman has not
borne bad character heretofore. She
was arrested and placed in jail as soon as
notice of the killing got out. The deceased
was looked upon as being q quiet and in
young man. He bore an excel
lent reputation at his home.
