One of those peculiar things that are
past finding out is why Mrs. Harrison
was not brought to New Mexico weeks
and weeks ago: Months ago indeed, for

little of pulmonary troubles and the heal |

ignorance, have kept this good wife and |

giant powder; and five cases of lard were
taken from box car in the depot yard. !

thieves could put the provisions and |
clothes, but what use they had for five
cases of giant powder is beyond the com !,
prehension of the police. The giant !
powder was afterwards found in some
brush near the depot in good order, with |
the exception of a few sticks that had |
melted by being too close to a camp fire -
