THE TAOS COURT.
The Record Broken and Two Murderers
Sentenced to the Pen for Life.

District Judge Seeds and the officers of
the court returned last night from Taos
county. The term of court which closed
there on Tuesday proves to be a record
breaker in that two men, after trial by
Jury, were sentenced by the court to serve
life sentences in the penitentiary for muir
der. The circumstance is expected to
have very sautary effect upon criminals
in that locality. The first case was that
]. NJ. TrujilIo, who, in a quarrel over
woman at Vallecito, Rio Arriba county,
shot and killed man named Martinez.
In the other case Toriblo Gutierrez was
convicted of numbering, robbing and I'M
dertaking to burn the body OF Cruz Mar
tinez. This crime occurred near Tres
Piedras, two years ago, and excited much
comment at the time. In both cases the
Jury promptly returned verdict OF guilty,
and the court as promptly passed life SEN
fences upon the poor wretches. Judge
Seeds speaks in very complimentary terms
of the manner in which District Attorney
NJ. W. Mills handled the cases as public
| prosecutor.

counts amounting to T6,072.2l, leaving

an hand but $1,6ll.73 with which to set
tie outstanding Indebtedness, care for the
capitol and grounds, furnish fuel and
lights. and pay the salaries of employees
until March, 1898.
1t has been asserted that offers have
been made to insure the building, and
wait for the payment of the insurance
until the legislature would make an ap-
preparation. This is not true. But two
offers were made to insure the capitol; the
rate asked was per cent, and one agent
said, that properly, the rate charged,
should be | y per cent.
To insure the capitol for 500, 900 tor
two years, would have cost $4,000. Now
where was this money to come from? The
committee did not have it. No reasonable
man could expect them to advance the
money out Of their own pockets; and in
stead OF having money in hand to meet
expenses as they fell due, the committee
have been continually harrased by credit
ors for the payments Of accounts over
due.
No one can possibly regret the destruc'
ton of the capitol more than the men,
bers of the committee, and if the money
had been at their disposal, they would
certainly have had the building insured,
although, no authority is given to them
to do so, either in the appropriation act,
or the act creating the committee it Was
the imperative duty OF the committee to
have man in charge OF the building dur
| ing the day and Waterman at night, as
also to care for the grounds, keep the
building in repair, furnish heat and light
and pay the employees. 1t is unfair tc

TIE CAPITOL FIRE.
Investigation Still in Progress &c.. An
Official Statement by the
Commissioners.

The official inquiry into the destruction
Of the capitol by fire continues, and thus
far two score or more OF witnesses have
been examined, many of them simply
telling the same sad story as to the lack
of water, and confirming the prevalent
opinion that the act was that of an in
cendiary. But the all important point as
to who did it, and what the object was, is
as much of mystery to-day as it was in
the beginning. The investigation will
probably be concluded tomorrow. In
this connection the following official state
ment is published
Since the destruction of the capitol by
fire so much criticism has been made OF
the capitol custodian committee, why
this or that thing was not done, or why
the building WAS not insured, that the
/ following statement IS made Tor the IN
/ formation OF the public:
Ehe committee assumed their dntles IN
March, 1891, relieving the old commits
sion, but receiving from them Legacy
in the shape Of debts, amounting to
200.
The legislature appropriated for the
care, etc, OF the capitol and grounds
during the 42d fiscal year; 50 900; during
the 43d fiscal year, $4,000, or total OF
$l2 900; but Of these amounts only ST.,
