Over 2UO,00U head of sheep are on these
ranges, hnt most Of them are without
water Mr. IoNalI saw droyes of sheep
that had had no water for tWenty-seven
DAYS and they were little better than mere
tide and bones The queer thing about
il is that water may be had by sinking
wells twenty feet, but none OF the flock
owners seem inclined to put down wells
one man at pno's wells las windmill
91h tank and an abundance OF water,
and he is growing rich watering his
poor Mexican neighbours fiocks.
He gets three sheep i'll payment for every
900 head watered 1T his well and he has
accumulated drove of several thousand
by this means. Wells and windmiIls are
what the flock owners need. Perhaps
this experience will prove blessing IN
disguise and force them to sell some OF
their sheep and put the proceeds into
water development.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
A Rum and Love Crazed COlOred Soldier
Kills his Dusky sweetheart and q
Town Constable, aud Wounds
Third Party.

For year or two past Harry
Brooks of troop D, 10th cavalry, stationed
at Fort Bayard, has been the acknowl-
edged lord and master OF dusky maiden
named Carrie Drug, the keeper OF
saloon at Central City, mile distant
from Fort Bayard and nine miles distant
from Silver City. The Drugg woman
grew tired of Brooks and about two weeks
ago they agreed to disagree on condition
that the woman would pay the man $25
in cLsh. She did so, and they separated.
Brooks, however, after spending the
money on liquor, repented of his bargain
and called at the saloon and asked to be
taken back into the woman's affections,
and on her refusing to have anything
more to do with him, sprang upon her
and heat her cruelty. For this he Was
speedily arrested, John Dalton, better
known as Red Dalton" the newly
elected constable, taking him into Gus
tody and bringing him before Justice
John Walters.
On the way to the justice court Brooks
threatened to kill both the woman and
constable before Saturday night, no atten-
ton being paid to the threat at the time,
though he kept his word. After paying his
fine he continued his debauch, and on
Friday went cunning. He killed Carrie
Drugg and MORALLY wounded Constable
Dalton, he dying in two hours. The muir
derer ran down the street, firing as he
went, and out upon the prairie and disap-
peared over hill. He had 800 rounds OF
cartridges strung about his shoulder and
dehed arrest. He returned, however,
came up the street like mailman, firing
into the buildings at men and women on
the way. Horace Johnson, colored, WAS
shot in the cheek, another bullet whizzed
close by Postmaster Hutchinson's ear,
while several more balls crashed through
saloon windows. James K. Ford, colore d ,
then shot the murderer in the thigh, after
which the madman was Overpowered and
handcuted. Brooks was hurried away to
silver City to escape the vengeance of the
excited populace, and is now in Jail there.

The EXPERIMENTAL WELL,
An Ocean Of water Under the Valley
MIR. Lefe,cr Talks Of Progress.

One the artesian NeIic0ntractors came
in last evening and was at once tackled 10y
the New MEXICAN as to the latest from that
interesting experiment. He said progress
continued SLOW, on account Of the quick
sand, but apparently the dill! is nearly
through this formation and is in soft
rock which is of deep red color. Its
perfect red paint and could b. used very
well for hilarious purposes said Mr.. Le-
fever. He thinks this is the Gaping OF a
stratum of rock that must have both pres
sure and an extra amount of water
though as for the latter he says: eve
are convinced now that the whole valley
is underlaid With water. We find it
everywhere, even i'll formations where
least expected. After this there ought
to re no complaint about scarcity of water
in this section. Even if We fail to get Il
flowing well, we have demonstrated Il
tact worth thousands of dollars to your
people, for it can only be question of
time Def re the whole valley wlll he dot

water already III sight, hundreds OF farms
could be supplied with water 10y wind

discouraged about flowing we'll and be-
lleve We will strike it Iii a short tlme.'

TROUBLE ON The SAN JUAN.


Word comes down from San uan coun-
ty that trouble is brewing with the Navajo
Indians. One of band rowing beyond
the reservation was killed in December
last by settlers, over a beef killing con-
troversy, and since then there has been
blood on the horizon. The most in
huential men of the tribe lately held a
three days pow-wow, and resolved that
the settler who did the killing must
either be ARRESTED and punished, or pay
over to the family of the dead Indian
500. Sub Agent Ii. G. Adams, who
resides near Olio, was requested
to lay this matter before the
San Juan county authorities and
did So detailing the demands of the In
dams IN a long letter to Sheriff Kit Car
son. The Indians give the settlers until
tie 10th inst. to comply, otherwise they
declare they Will take the law in then
own hands and retaIiate. This has caused
much apprehension and excite ment among
settlers on the san Juan rlver, and i'll
response to public sentiment DR.. Tucker
and others circulated petition and sent
it to Fort Lewis, Colo, asking the com
handing officer to give them military pro-
lection. Their petition has been referred
| to Gen. Carr. commanding the district at
| Fort Ningate. Sub-Agent Adams writes
that unless one or the other of the con-
dltions are complied with, he feels rea-
soDahly certain that only the presence
of U. 5. troops Will prevent an open
rupture. The sub-agent has now gone to
the head agency at Fort Defiance to lay
| the matter before Agent Nanderveer, and
through him will petition Gen. Carr to
order Il company of troops into the San
Juan region forthwith. Sub-Agent Adams
also writes the sheriff:
81 have been informed by the agent at
Fort Defiance that the interior depart,
ment has issued an order that all Nava ioes
found Off from the reservation be arrest
ed, and that the cattle companies
shall remove their cattle from the reser-
vatlOn at once; and that the military
authorities have been notified to assist IN
carrying out the order So yon see We
are liable to have lively times along the
border in the near future"
The San Juan Index devotes four col
umns TO the subject and says:
The report lie abroad that on Friday OF
last week Castlano, bIolher OF the Navajo
that MAS killed, and who is doing all he
can to stir up the Indians, with his band
OF about fifty followers, went to another
band ON the reservation and endeavored
to get them to unite forces and come out
Oh ioray among the settlements; and
that the discu sion following refusal be-
came SO warm that it eliminated in fight
wherein three NAvaioes We're killed"

SANDBAccED THE KEEPER.
The Escape of Two Criminals from
New Jersey Prison.

TRENTON, N. j., May 29.-Two noted
criminals made their escape from the New
Jersey state prison last night, after sand
bagging Capt. Charles Parker, the 55-year-
old doorkeeper. and robbing him of $500.
Thomas Thomas and Alexander jackson
are two convicts who were serving 80 years
sentences for burglary and arson in Mon
mouth county, and had been incarcerated
nearly six years. Their escape is undoubt-
edly the result of long contemplation, and
was Icarried out in a bold and daring way.
The men have been employed as runners or
hall servants, doing the chores for the prin-
cipal keeper and his family, and were not
locked in their cells with the other convicts
at O'Clock, but were kept on duty until s.
Mrs. Paterson, the wife of the principal
keeper, made the discovery Of the escape
shortly after s o'clock, when she found the
old front doorkeeper lying insensible on the
flagstones which form the prisonlfloor. She
then discovered that the main door was
open, and gave the alarm. Keepers at once
responded. and it was quickly learned that
the two runners had taken their departure.
When the dOorkeeper revived, he stated that
the men had come up behind him cautiously
and hit him a blow over the bead with an
old stocking filled with sand. the two des-
peradoes quickly rified the old mans pockets
secured the large sum Of money which they
had frequently seen him display, and then,
robed in the street clothes of two of the IN
der keepers, they unlocked the big door, and
when the alarm was given they had disap-
peared.
Officers were at once started in pursuit,
,but the escaped men are yet at large. Aside
rom the money and clothing, they also stole
two fine revolvers, and If they are overtaken
a fight will be the result. as they are desper-
ate characters. This Is the only escape
which has been made from this prison in
nearly twenty years.

FAvORS MIKE BURNS.
Supreme Court Decision in the orIgl-
nal Package Case at Augusta.

AUGUSTA, May 29-The case of the state
VS.. Michael Burns, which has been before
the law court for two years, was decided to-
day in favor of Burns. Burns, it will be re-
membered, imported and sold within the
state liquor in original packages. In view
of the late decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States the court of Maine feels
constrained to decide in Burns's favor, thus
allowing the return of the liquor seized from
him two wears ago. In the opinion of the
Judges. while the view held years ago in
Maine was similar to the recent opinion of
the Supreme Court in the case of Gus Leisey
ct ais VS.. Hardin, change mas been wrought
in public sentiment. The decision of the
Burns case in the court below was in meas
ure to test the question whether the princi-
Pile laid down in the case Of Brown VS.. Mary
land would be sustained.
In closing the judges say
But the case of Gus Leisey ct ais. vs.. Hardin
just decided by the Supreme Court OF the United
States on full consideration seems to clearly set
tie the question and to require us, as we are
bound on such questions by the law as deter
mined by that court, to reverse lne rulings be-
low and sustain the law according 10 the respond
ent's contention. The opinion OF minority Of
the Judges sitting in that case appears to be very
elaborate and extensive on the question involved
and may commend itself to many as containing
the better conclusion. Our obedience Is due
however TO The Judgment which prevails, NOT
that our statute is unconstitutional Tor 1t prohb-
its only the ''unawful SALE OF intoxicating
liquors. but that its Interpretation must be con.

WILL COST TWO MILLIONS.
A New American Hotel With Some
European Features.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The splendid hotel
which Mr.. William w. Astor proposes to
erect on the site OF the old Astor homestead
at Fifth avenue and Thirty-third street, will,
In many respects be the finest edifce Of the
kind in New York.
The building will have frontage on Fifth
avenue of 100 feet and Of $50 feet on Thirty
third street. 1t will be ten stories high and
will occupy the site. Of the house in which
other houses which belong to the Astor es-
tate, and which have their entrance on
Thirty-third street, in the rear Of that build
ing.
the new Lotel, including the ground. which OF
course, Mr.. Astor owns. will cost about $2,-
900. To furnish the immense establish
ment will cost almost million more.
The style Of architecture will be that of
the French Renaissance, and the building
itself, Mr.. Hardenbergh says, will be some
thing Of copy Of the Grand Hotel In Paris,
on a smaller scale. The entrances
Of which there will be two-will be on
Thirty-third street The outside Of the
structure on both street sides, will be
comics, and over the main entrance
will be. a deep loggia. which will be
constantly filled with hardy plants.
The hotel will be built around deep
courtyard, AFTER the manner OF French
hotels. In this court will be a fountain
about which will be placed luxurious rest
ing places on which male guests may lounge
and smoke their after-dinner cigars. An
orchestra, in all probability, will assist the
soothing effects of good digestions. There
will be large cafe, but absolutely nothing
approaching an ordinary barroom. The
cOurtyard-which In reality will be large
garden-will pre- badly, In the winter months,
be inclosed in glass.
The whole interior will be most beautiful
in the way of artistic decoration. There
will be nothing gorgeous, but everything
will be OF the richest kind.
One of the most radical innovations in the
management of the new hotel will be the es-
tablishment at the main entrance of a con.
cierge-a plan usual in France-and this in
dividual will guard the entrance. 1t will bC
his duty to prevent the admission Of per.
| sons who have no right to enter or whose
presence would obviously be unpleasant
| The concierge will likewise be convenience
| to people who come in late at night.
Work on the new hotel will in all proba
bility be begun in the fall, and the present
plans are that 1t will be ready for occupancy
by August or September at the latest, in
| 1892. The hotel will then be under the man
| agement Of George G. Boldt Of Philadelphia,
| who has been very successful in the manage
| ment OF various hotels.
