of a Young Mems Christian Associa.
tion in Las Vegas, met together for
the first time yesterday afternoon
at the Academy. A temporary or
ganization, to continue till the national
charter and constitution can be Sc
cured, and adopted, was chosen, con-
sisting of G. S. Ramsay, chairman,
L. p. Browne, Jr, treasurer, and
Jackman Herrick, secretary. 1t was
unanimously resolved that the char
ter members fee should be So.
A committee on ways and means,
consisting of Mr.. Stein, chairman, Mr..
Prigmore and Mr.. Ady, was appoint
ed 10 interview the business men Of
the city, and to secure pledges Of
membership from as many young
men as possible. Mr.. Ramsay was
appointed TO meet the committee of
three, Mrs. Higgins, Mrs. DIR. Rice
and Mrs. Patty, from the w. G. T.
u, and to making arrangements as
to their offer to give the Y. NJ. G. A.
their library, magazines and news

Mr.. Ramsay was also given the
authority to examine different build
ings with view of securing one for
permanent quarters, reading-room,
several class rooms, and gymnasium
hall. Gymnasium equipment cat
alogues were ordered for action at the
next meeting.
III short, the meeting was all that
energetic, earnest, and enthusiastic
young men could make it. All things
needful were discussed and provided
for, and now active canvassing in the
name of the association will at once
commence. If older persons will
give as hearty support as the young
men, by next week a mass-meeting

Sunday night. 1t included 200 men
under the command of Frank Smith
of Powder river, divided into squads
of 10 men each, under the command
of sergeant. The streets are patroll-
ed by strong guard at night all
travelling to and from town are in
spected. Rumors are current of 9TH
er bands of invaders coming from
Montana and elsewhere to aid the
stockmen. The outposts of the or
ganization will seek to give timely
warning of any approach of such
party. Fears are entertained by
many that the attempt Of the stock
men will be renewed. A few citi-
zens here, suspected of having been
favorable to the stockmen, are in
fear of violence from the other
party. The streets have been quiet
but full of men. Business is almost
at a standstill. There is no carous-
ing but men stand about talking of
anything new. Many absurd but
dangerous rumors arc reported and
more or less are believed. Sheriff
Annus turned the prisoners in Gail
over to Col. Van Horn. Violence is
not apprehended, but it is rumored
that if invasion should occur, or if
some vicious rumors should gam cre-
dence in The present state of excite
ment, one cannot tell what might
happen.

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.
OFFIcE BOARD LADY MANAGERS,
April IA, 1899.

April IA, 1899.
There was never time when il
was so difficult TO represent women's
work as the present. In olden times
the crazy quilt and crochet were all
that were expected, but this is the
'Sgc of philanthrophy and clubs.
New Mexico will make a good exhib-
is of literature, painting, both in oil
and water colors; also in china, which
has reached higher state of excel
lence than ever before IN this coun-
try, and we will have a fine collec-
t5on of artistic needlework; our col
ouial exhibit will be credit to New
Mexico, over 600 pieces having been
located and promised. Already
women are working in every county
III the territory, collecting for this
especial exhibit. The work of wom-
en- will be placed in the main build
ing, with that of the men, and all eX-
hibits done in whole or part by
women will bear a mark showing
just what part was done by women;
any time spent by women in collect
ing mems work will not be credited
to or bear the women's badge. In
answer to letter received from Mrs.
Lea, of Roswell, in which she says:
"Will you kindly inform me if Mrs.
Bartlett's resignation effects my work
under you, as | am chairman of both
her and yourauxiliary committees and
the work in all your departments is
doing well. In photography we will
make fine exhibit of our beautiful
orchards, trees, ,spouting artesian wells,
river scenes, etc, etc" These letters
are coming in from all over the ter
ritory and in answer l say her resig-
nation does not affect my work in
anyway. My work is strictly the
work of the Territory. find it a
great work and it can only be accom-
plished successfully by all the women
in our Territory feeling it duty to
render every assistance in their
power.
On the 27th of this month, which is
next Wednesday, there Will be a meet
ing of the Territorial Board, which is
composed of President w. 7. Thorn
ton, Vice-President Major Salazar,
Treasurer f. V. Chaves, Secretary
Major Llewellyn, in this city. An
earnest request is made that citizens,
especially the ladies, will be present
at this meeting. A great deal of in
formation can be gained and it is
hoped that a great interest will be
manifested by our people of Benal-
lilo county.

Col. Hudson Petitioned.

The following petition has been numer-
ously signed by Ell Paso gentlemen;
To Hon. Richard Hudson, Agent Mescalero In
dians, Fort Stanton N. NJ
Sir The undersigned respectfully rep
resent that the Mescalero Indians have
been permitted during the months of
July and August of each year, to go from
their reservations in large numbers to
hunt in the Sacramento mountains of
New Mexico. That during these annual
hunts they often kill as many as 300
deer, and that such wanton destruction
can not but result in determination. The
stockmen located in these mountains are
subject to loss of stock from these annual
raids and are deprived of the recreation
of hunting, as are many citizens OF New
Mexico and Texas to whom these noun
tains are most accessible for a few weeks
sojourn during the hot weather.
These Indians are supplied by the gov
eminent with food, and to allow them to
slaughter game in such great numbers
simply for hides and small amount O
dried meats, seems to us to be at variance
with the policy of the government
Therefore we would respectfully teques
that such steps as may be necessary b.
taken to prevent this wanton destruction
OF game.

Drowned at Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Optic; This morning, while
Clemente Gonzales and Teodoro Garcia
we're bathing in a water hole, in the ar
royo Pecos, the former was drowned. The
accident took place in that part OF the ar
royo which lies just back Of the Depot
hotel, and consequently not at the place
where the little boys were drowned last
Sunday. Gonzales, who worked for the
railroad company, had gone for a bath,
recent rain in the mountains having
filed the holes in the arroyo. He could
not swim, and was drowned, nearly
drowning his brother-in-law, who tried to
save him. When the remains were taken
to his home, on the west side, his wife,
who is an invalid, was so greatly affected,
that fatal results were feared for time.
Clemente Gonzales, above referred to-
is resident of Tesuque, and left his
home there temporarily few months age
to work for the A., T. & S. F. at Las We
gas. He was we'll known to SAINTS
Feans.

THE PECOS CUTOFF.
A New Route Discovered and Work to
Begin on Monday Santa Fe's
Subscription Fund.

o. G. Knox and ten settlers in the up.
per Pecos valley will begin work on Mon
day next on the new trail, or cutoff, to
the Pecos valley, which is designed to
bring about closer business relations be-
tween the people of the upper Pecos
region and Santa Fe. In ten days the
settlers hope to have the road opened to
the top of the Santa Fe range, and by
that time it is expected the Santa Fe
subscription fund will have been raised so
that Mr.. Knox can continue the work on
this side of the range. Of the necessary
$500, some $65 yet remains to be sub
scribed.
In the past few days Mr.. Knox has ex-
plored that region at the head of the Rio
Tesuque thoroughly and he has found a
route that will bring Windsor's ranch on
the Pecos within almost twenty miles OF
Santa Fe. This route is the same as has
heretofore been described, via the
Bishops ranch and the Tesuque canon,
save when nearing the top of the
range pass has been found be-
tween Bald mountain and Lake
Peak which is 1000 feet lower than
the originally outlined route. By adopt
ing this route an uphill pull of one and a
half miles will be saved on either side of
the range. 1t is the lowest pass in the
Santa Fe-Pecos range, says Mr.. Knox,
and wagon road can be made from
Santa Fe to the Pecos river over this route
which will have no sleeper grades than
those on the road between Gloreta and
Cooper's, which is by no means a bad
mountain road. The $500 now required
will serve to put a good trail over this
route, and next year $500 additional vii
open there very fair wagon road. SAINTS
Feans ought not to let the project fail fol
lack of the $65 yet required to make W
the purse of $500 for which Mr.. Kno'
agrees to contract with the county to oper
this trail.

from the famous Mckinney mineral

Tomas Quintana, is in trouble. Night
before last, about IL O'Clock, Mr.. Quin,
tans was returning home via a shortcut

when within about 100 yards of An.

upon. Fortunately the bullets spec
wide of their mark. Yesterday
Chavez was arrested and before Justice
Vigil to-day he admitted firing at some ONT
passing, supposing them to be intent or
doing him harm, but he says he did no
know Mr.. Quintana was the party 1t
fired upon. In order to teach Senior An
