TERRITORIAL TIPS.

The Optic tells, how Miss Lizzie
Duddleston, daughter of wealthy Chica-
60 merchant, was few weeks ago married
to Scotchman named John Hogg, a por-
ter of the Phoenix hotel, Las Vegas Hot
Springs, where the young woman and her
mother were guests in search of health.
The irate father has taken his wife and
daughter back to Chicago and Hogg has
celebrated the event by going on pro-
tracted spree. An effort will be made to
annul the marriage contract. The Optic
says: sc. B. Hendricks, the justice of
the peace at the springs who married the
rich girl, under age and supposed by
many to be feeble minded, to the utterly
worthless porter of the Montezuma, had
very little regard for his own duty or for
the good of the community in which he
resides"
There was no murder OF station agent
or of any one else at Colmor. There
was man shot there on Tuesday morn
ing. He was agent of the railway COM
pany, his wound was in the feshy part
of his hand. He said that he had been
shot and robbed, by gang of Mexicans
OF course, and that he bravely drove them
off, running the whole mob across the
prairie. No one believed the story, and
it is the unanimous opinion of all who
have heard his tale that there was but
robbery; that this one man suffered in
the flesh and the company suffered a
little in the financial way.-Springer
Stockman.
Albuquerque Citizen The county jail
is brimful with prisoners, thirty prisoners
in all-eight Of them United Stated, six

Rumors have been afoat for several
days, that owing to la grippe or pneumo-
mia epidemic, all the mines at Pinos AL
tos and in the vicinity of Silver CITY in
Grant county have shut down, and that
a panic existed there. By a gentleman
who returned from that region to-day and
who locked over the situation very care
fully, this is positively denied. There is
no doubt that this has been the worst
winter experienced in New Mexico for
many years, and there have been more
than the unusual number of deaths owing
to exposure, insufficient food, and lack
of medical attendance, but no panic ex-
lists, and all the principal mines are work
ing with full force.
Good flowing wells at depth of from
800 to 1000 feet are considered practicable
and profitable. Roswell has one we'll
finished and score OF others contracted
for to be sunk as soon as the necessary
machinery arrives. The we'll of Jaffa
Prayer & Co. has good flow of excellent
water procured at depth of 2O7 feet.
The formation of the whole country in
and around Roswell shows that this well
is no accident, but is no more than any
one at all conversant with geology antici-
pated.-Roswell Record.
Two men visited the house of Mrs,
Arthur Henry, on Silver avenue, Albu-

The experiment of sowing winter " heat
has proven big success in San Miguel
county.
