The Clayton Enterprise regrets to an
nounce that: ..'This has been a dreadful
trying week On the law-abiding citizens of
Clayton. The desperados took the town,
assaulted and almost murdered the justice
Of the peace, intimidated and threatened
the lives Of respectable merchants and
business men without any apparent cause
or provocstion and openly displayed their
six-sheoters and threatened murder, riot
and intimidation"
0. P. McMains, the agitator in Max
well land grant matters in Colfax county,
this territory, and in southern Colorado,
has just been released from the county
jail in Pueblo, where he served six
months sentence, he having been con-
| victed of melting riot and of resisting q
United States officer. The pious fraud
signalized his Instrumentation from the
Pueblo bastile by circulating hand-bill
upon the streets of that city announcing
that he would continue to speak on the
land grant subject.
The San Marcial Reporter doesn't take
kindly to Major J. w. Powell's prophesy
that in few years the Rio Grande will
cease to flow south of Albuquerque. 1t
says: "Major Powel's talk was rank
nonsense and never could have emanated
from sober man. More damage is done
annually to agricultural interests in the
Rio Grsnde valley by too much water
than by too little. It is a much more
difficult problem to protect against the
annual floods than to store the surplus
against possible dry season."
Mrs. squires, OF Trinidad, is daughter
of Kit Carson, the pathfinder. The
Trinidad Chronicle says: Mr.. Squires,
who has been separated from his wife for
some time met her yesterday, and tenn
porary reconciliation was made. Squires
took advantage of the truce to get away
with considerable amount of money
which his wife had-a check for 1872,
which in some way he managed to get
cashed at the First National bank, and
some other property. He was arrested
this morning by Deputy Sheriff Tinelli
and given quarters in the county Jail.

Monday last Thomas Jackson was helt
up between Hadley and Florida station by
JEFF King, and relieved of $l,031. Mr.
Jackson is foreman of the Teel g. Pc,
Mining company. King had been hauling
ore for the Cooks Peak Mining company
and had been sent to Ell Paso with three
cars of company ore. He represented tt
the company that he owned the ore, ant
was given a check for the amount. TIT
superintendent of the smelter concluded
that the ore was from the Graphic mine
and wired Walter @. Hadley in regard t.
it. Mr.. Hadlev wired the banks stopping
payment on the check. 1t Is supposed
that King then became desperate ant
fearing arrest, concluded to take the roa(
as hold.up. He is rather good lookinl
and gentlemanly appearing, is about 81
years OF age. He came here from Texa
and has been in this county seven O.
eight years, probably onger.-Silver Cit,
