Gallegos Surrenders- Another Killing
at Separ-Frank Gonzales
Denied Bail.

District Judge Seeds to-day denied the
application of Frank Borrego, charged
with the murder OF Pablo Dominique, to
be released from Jail on bail.
Antonio Borrego, brother of the pris-
oner, to day gave the required 81 800 bail
bond and was released from Jail. His
sureties are: Martin Quintana, IS 900 !;
S. Alarid $500; Tomas Quintana $500; J.
B. ORTIZ, $500; Prudencio Garcia, $500 !;
F. +. Pine, $500.
In the matter OF the Montoya killing at
Cerrillos, the dead man having been
buried, it was deemed of no use to dis
inter the body and hold an inquest, es-
pecially since such action could develop
no facts beyond those already known.
Chas. A. Spiess returned from Cerrlllos
this morning and says the chances are
that the dead mans cousin will also die
within a few hours. As to Constable
Crutchfield, accused Of shooting these
men, nothing could be learned at Cerrillos
last night, although deputy sheritis were
in search of him with warrants charging
him with murder. If arrested he will be
brought to Santa Fe and placed in the
county jail.
JOSE d. GALLEGOs sURRENDERS.
Jose d. Gallegos, who killed ]. ].
Schmidt, at Wagon Mound, on the morn
ing of July l, is in custody, he having
delivered himself to Sheriff Lopez at Los
Alamos yesterday, and he is now in jail
at Las Vegas. Gallegos is suffering from
a wound in the ley, received at the hands
of Schmidt. The ball entered some inch
es above the knee, ranging upward, pass
ing through the member and coming out
on the inside and upper part OF the thigh.
After the meeting that resulted in the
instant death of Schmidt, Gallegos fed
south about mile and half to the Can
jilon mountains, where he secreted him
self in the rocks, remaining there all day.
For four days and nights he lodged about
in the mountains. He says he saw that
he was being hotly pursued, at one time a
posse of 200 armed men being within zoe
yards of his hiding place. About dusk,
while on top of a mountain, commanding
a good view of the plains below, he was
frightened by noticing the shadows of two
passing men. Then it was that be found
himself in the closest quarters. But al
no time did he fear the bloodhounds
which were supposed to be barking low
on his warm trail. They we're off the
scent from the very beginning. On the
fourth night he made his way to Los
Alamos, where he has since been staying
intending to surrender to the authorities
so soon as the excitement over the shoot
ing of Schmidt had abated a little. Gale
gos preferred not to speak of the trouble
between himself and Schmidt, saying thai
it would all come out in time.
