out. He is also wanted in Mora county
for horse stealing.
Deming had last week the first genuine,
thoroughbred sand storm of the season.
For about an hour, toward evening, the
air WAS filled with whirling, dancing ir-
resistible particles of sand from the con-
sistency of fine -four to the unbroken
wheaton kernel. 1t came, apparently,
from every direction at the same moment.
Albuquerque Citizen.
10 Harris, foreman of the H. W. ranch,
was stabbed on Thursday at Silver City
by Lee Linley, a discharged cowboy of
the same outfit. The stabbing took place
in the Commercial saloon. Harris is at
the hospital in very dangerous state.
Linley has not yet been captured.
Las Vegas Optic: "We are authorized
to says, on behalf Of leading wool buyer
Of this city, that he will wager S., 900 to
$1,000 that Las Vegas handles three
pounds of wool to every one handled by
Albuquerque. Now this is bona fide
offer. The man is good for $50 900, and
his name will be given if Albuquerque
dares accept the challenge. The condi-
ton is that Albuquerque dealers and Las
Vegas dealers shall alike submit their
books and business to the examination OF
experts"
Somewhere about 5000 head of cattle
which would have been shipped from
Silver City within the next thirty
days, will be driven down parallel with
the line of the Santa Fe to Deming and
shipped from there instead. The reason
for this is that the Santa Fe road charges
an additional $40 car for hauling
through cattle from Silver City to Deming.
AS the cattlemen can drive from here to
Deming tor less than this they naturally
do so.-Sentinel.
Silver City note: Two rare curiosties
have been added to Fred Sheltons aviary
a pair of baboon-faced owls. They were
caught by Herbert Martyr and VIM. Tull
at Mowry City (Mimbres crossing). The
birds plumage is white, brown and gray;
very beautifully and delcately tinted.
Their eyes, instead of being brown, as
owls eyes usually are, are jet black.
Their faces are the most comical likeness
of bald-faced baboons.
There is strike on at Ration. 1t seems
that, heretofore, the A., 7. & S. F. en-
ployes at Ration have been granted one
hour on pay day, from l o'clock to 2, in
which to cash their checks. That hour
was frequently not so employed, the men
using night or other occasions for the
purpose of cashing their checks. The
management decreed that the men should
cash their checks in their own time and
not in the company's time. On this the
strike was declared.
The Pueblo Ore and Metal Review
speaking of the iron industry Of Honover
gulch, Grant county, says: Reports
have it that the Colorado Coal & Iron
company is interested in the Whitewater
railroad in Grant county, and that the
Santa Fe has agreed to make the road
rate of So from Whitewater station to
Pueblo on iron ore. This is an extra
ordinarily low rate, and it will bring
masses of iron ore to Pueblo, and perhaps
to Denver. There is no iron in Colorado
superior to that of Hanover gulch. The
only ore that will compare with it is
some of the Leadville iron. These ores
are hematte and manganese and mag
netic iron. The latter is exceptionally
pure, hardly any titanic acid and phosporic
acid being contained in it,
