week a body Of armed and disguised
men went to the Whitehouse canch OF
the Lyons s. Campbell company one
night amid demanded that Thos.
Lyons come Hit. Luckily for Mr..
LYONS be WAR 30 Silver City that night
ana when the gang found this out
ticy left the place. it b strongly
suspected that the gang was composed
OF what is left Of the Pine Cicnga
~rustlers, and that Bob and Dick Hall
were with them. The reason these
people wanted AR Lyons was for re-
yengc for the part he has taken in the
apprehension of this Pine Cienega
gang. Crime seems to have the upper
hand in the northern part of the coun-
tJ aud the rustlers do aboutlas they
please, bus the LIBERAL hopes it will
be a long time before the night
riders and white caps become as num-
erOus and %disgraceful in Grant county
as the have ia San Miguel and some
of the northern counties Of the terri
tory. IL the officers of the law cannot
attend to these men it will not be long
before the honest settlers of that sec
tloa take things into their own hands
and settle matters. The LIBERAL
never has been a very great admircro OF
Thos. Lyons, and, like many others
thinks he has forfeited the respect of
honest men and that by the example
he set he, personally. could make
no Kick II "A man took an unfair adyan-
tagc OF him and killed him under the
semblance OF law. But in this case
Lyons represents more than himself,
he is the head and front Of the folks
that have been ~endeavoring to bring IA
gang Of rustlers to justice, ard it is
for this work that the rustlers r en-
%deayoring to Kill him, and in this mat
ter the law abiding peopleof the couu
ty should stand by him and endeayor
to bring his assai.ants to justice.
In speaking Of the new compound
engines recently bought 10y the Next
can Central road tho Las Vegas Optic
says: Two immense compound en-
gines for the Mexican Central have re-
ceiyed here and forwarded upon their
journey to the southern republic.
They 50 dwarf one of the engines on
this road, which are themselves no
babies, that the latter along side Of
the monsters, look like a horse beside
an elephant. TO get through .hc
Ration tunnel the engines hail to be
taken to pieces as much as POSSIBLE
and then, iRplaces, the tunnel had to
be made larger. In addition to their
greater bulk, these engines have a
piston within Il piston, thus using the
steam twice, thereby increasing speed
and saving fuel. If one should yet Off
the track it is doubtful how it ever
could be gotten On again, while a soft
or defective roadbed or worn rails
would be utterly demolished. Rail-
road men say that the value of such
monsters has not yet been dc.non-
>trated.
Last Friday night n Of w. j..

During the light Others OF them were
attacked with what was apparently
the Same disease. mtthe course OF
twetty-fu0t hours four of his horses

e1amina tion of the horses was madg
BY Dr.. Simpson who found they had
died from an attack Of lung fey.r. all
the organs, except the luags, were in
a healthy condition, and the lungs
were SO badly congestcd they looked
more like liver than lungs. 1t IS a
mystery what should have caused this
attack on these horses and it seems
queer that no other horses have been
similarly attacked.
The wiyesof Dickand Bob Hall came
to Solomonylllo last week and reported
to Justice Palm that they thought
their husbands had been killed by
Steve Nixson and wanted a posse to
so and find the bodies. A party was
made up aud a thorough search made
but no trace of the bodies of the men
could be found. The report of the
killing of these men was FIRST printed
in the LIBERAL as "A rumor, but later
developments tend to show that the
men are not dead but on the contrary,
very much alive.
