ceived from MIR. Sparks at st. Louis, that

the majority OF the ranges OF this section
are short of both feed and water, aud a
good many cattle are dying If rains

Socorro Cheftain: The White Muscat
of Alexandra grape does the best of all
grapes planted in this part of New Mex
| leo. Judge Hubbard has been putting
out on his ranch near the city different

A one-eighth interest in the Beck grant,
belonging to N. b. and Il. W. Stoneroad,
and consisting of about 10000 acres, has
been purchased by r. l.. Brown, of Aus
! tin, Texas, and Thomas Carson, of Arizo-
ma, for $50 900 and cattle to the number
of $500, by A. A. Jones, for 10000.
| The land was sold under deed OF trust
and the cattle under chattle mortgage.
An attempt was made to enjoin the sale
by the attorney of subsequent mortgages,
but Judge O'Bren refused to grant the
injunction.
According to the terms of a mortgage
held by the Scottish mortgage Co., the
interest of the Stoneroad Brothers in
the Beck grant and all of the cattle in
their brand Was sold at public SAFE last
week in Las Vegas. The Mortgage COM
pany bid the property in for the amount
of the mortgage and accrued interest,
about $4,000. Protests were made against
the sale OF any cattle not branded exactly
as specified in the mortgage, and before
the final settlement of the case there is
likely to be some interesting litigation,
requiring decisions on several new ques-
tons on the subject of mortgaged cattle.
Edwardy, of the Las Vegas Democrat
has Porfirio Trujillo camping on his trail
| While Edwardy was busy at his office the
door opened and in walked the redoubt-
able Porfirio with a is Colts revolver
thrust partially into the front of his pan
falcons, and held in his right hand,
ready to fire. Mr. Edwardy saw him as
he started to come in the door, aud he
had no sooner crossed the threshold than
he had him covered with revolver. He
demanded his business, and Trujillo, see
ing that he had run against the wrong
man, collapsed and dropping his hands
from his weapon replied that he wanted
paper. He was given his paper and de-
parted, presumably to await a more con-
venient season to carry out his threats.
Mr.. Edwardy has been advised by his
friends to have Trujillo arrested, but de-
clines to do so, and says he feels abund.
antly able to take care of himself.
