GRANT COUNTY CRUMBS.
The Silver City Sentinel is advocating
the remova. of the Apaches from the San
Carlos reservation.
All interest is centcring on the coming
Legislature as to the proposed abolition
of the fee system in county offices.
Serious fears are being entertained for
the safety of Santa Cruz Smith, well
known cattleman of Grant county. He
was know to have been in the immediate
vicinity of the recent raid of Kid and the
renegades in the Las Animas valley, and
his friends here are fearful that he fell
victim to the savages.
A southern New Mexico paper says:
"Tho prospect for big Indian raid next
spring is pretty good. Kid is familiariz-
ing himself with the country and will no
doubt, endeavor to get number of In
dians from the San Carlos reservation to |
join him as soon as grass starts in the
spring" Army officers are of opinion
that Kid will be captured long before
spring.
