A NEW GOLD PROPERTY
Added to tho List Owned by Lincoln
County's Enterprising Citizens.

White Oaks, Jicarilla, Gallnas, Nogal,
Oscura, White Mountain, Organ and
other districts have been considered by
tenderfoot capitalists as too far from
rall to interest them. In the meantime
rich properties are being discovered and
located and wherever the owners can
get capital, fortunes are being made
This week the EAGLE takes pleasure
In noting another step taken on the gold
route to fortune by three Lincoln county
citizens. VIM. Watson Of the Old Abe
Co of White Oaks, Capt. w. ". Brazel
and Wm. Connor of Eagle Creek are the
fortunate owners of the Mormon mine
located in the Organ mountains about
ll5 miles from White Oaks and about 25
miles from Las Cruces.
A Common Sense" whim has been
shipped this week from White Oaks and
new stamp mill ordered to the mine
from Chicago. The mine will be worked
in limited way at present, it being the
object more particularly to pay expenses
OF development and save the ore taken
out IN doing the work until considerable
depth has been reached, rather than to
miIe for ore. One shaft at 80 feet assays
S253, gold. At 20 feet in another pros
pect shaft is an eight-inch pay streak
assaying 1925 in gold and so.4O silver.
The remainder OF the vein which
measures about two feet "pans rich
but for lack OF machinery no large run
has yet been made. The connection of
VIM. Watson with the enterprise, how
ever, with his successful expe rience in
gold mining and prospecting warrants
the EAGLE in believing that the Mormon
is likely to prove another bonanza.

ASSAULTED HIS WIFE.
A observation-disclosures Creates Quite
Big Sensation.
George Nichols Cuts His Wife Over the
Eye-A Great Crowd Congre-
gates-Arrested.

A large crowd was attracted to the lodg-
ing-hOuse at the southwest corner OF
Fourth and K streets between and 6
o'clock last evening by the screams of a
woman.
A number of fakirs and street peddlers
were in the vicinity, and had all attracted
crowds of people, SO that in about three
minutes fully fifteen hundred persons
had congregated, and various reports OF
murder and suicide were afloat.
The woman ran to the middle window
in view of the crowd, and was seen to be
struggling and her head bleeding, while
her frantic screams continued.
Officers Rider and Cox heard the
screams a block or two away and
fastened to the scene.
Rider was first to get through the ex-
cited crowd, who were now shouting,
Hang himr' Bring him downp' ETC..
and soon had the furious man under ar
rest and on the way to the police station.
1t was then learned that he was George
Nichols, keeper of restaurant on Second
street, between and X, known as the
''YoUng America" and that the woman
was his wife.
She was severely bruised, and a bad
cash Tower her left eye from which the
blood streamed, and which she thought
had been made with a knife, as she said
her husband had a knife at the beginning
of the assault.
The couple, it is said, have had frequent
quarrels. and that Nichols was partly in
toxicated last night.
He was lodged at the city jail, and q
charge of battery sworn against him.
Judge Cravens was at the police station
and fixed his bail at $500.

ATTORNEY DEVLIN'O MEMORY.
Judge Van Fleet Rules That it Was
Somewhat at Fault.
A Contention Over the Appeal Papers
in the Suit of NJ. NJ. Drew VS..
Chief Rodgers.

For several days the attorneys on both
sides of the case of NJ. NJ. Drew VS.. Chief
OF Police Rodgers, have been endeavoring
to reach an agreement on a statement on
appeal to the Supreme Court, but as they
differed as to some points in the evidence,
the matter hung fire until yesterday.
This is the case III which Drew proved
that Rodgers was not citizen of the
United States and therefore not eligible
to otiice-and Judge Van Fleet so declared
in his decision. Rodgers now proposes
to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The obstacle which was encountered in
the preparation of The appeal statement
was the contention of r. L. Devlin, coun-
sci for Rodgers, that it had not been
proved by the other side that Thomas H.
Baxter and Mary Baxter, Rodgers step
father and mother, had ever been mar
ried.
Charles T. Jones and Grove L. Johnson,
attorneys for Drew, held that an admis-
sion was made by Mr.. Devlin during the
! trial that the parties named had been
welded.
Attorney Devlin repudiated this. He
! produced an affidavit sworn TO by Official
Stenographer Davis, to the effect that
! there was nothing concerning such ad-
mission in his record. Mr.. Devlin also
| produced affidavits made by attorneys
and others, stating that Mr. Devlin had,
after Judge Van Fleets adverse decision,
! spoken of the excellence of his point on
| appeal.
| Messrs. Jones and Johnson, NJ. M.
| Drew and Warren f. Drew gave
sworn evidence that Devlin had made the
admission.
| After arguments, Judge Van Fleet held
that the admission had been made. He
said there was not a suspicion OF doubt
but that Mr.. Devlin believed that he was
speaking truthfully, yet human memory
is not intallible. In regard to the re-
porter's record, Judge Van Fleet said
that shorthand reporter is merely an
assistant to the court, and his notes are
not accepted as the fiat Of truth. If the
latter were the case, the reporter would
| be above and greater than the court. A
reporter sometimes fails to hear every
thing said, and frequently exercises his
own Judgment as to what should be put
down when attorneys are talking back
and forth.
The amendment, including the admis-
sion, was ordered made and the state
ment engrossed. Attorney Devlin had
an exception noted, and will, it is under
stood, appeal to the Supreme Court on
this point, too.

RBCUPERATED RAPIDLY.
Two Morphine Fiends Supposed to Be
Dying Decamp in the Night.
They Leave the County Hospital With
Quantity of Bedding and Other
Portable Articles.

Silas Sprague and James Owens, are
the two morphine fiends whom JUS
tice Henry took pity on couple Of days
ago, and instead Of sending them to jail
had them conveyed to the County Hos
pital.
The men, it will be remembered, were
convicted OF stealing a hose from the
Helvetia Cemetery and when they were
brought into court for sentence the next
day both were almost Frustrated. They
had gone without the drug to which they
were addicted so long that they could
scarcely walk. Sprague was particularly
gone in. He laid Oh the floor of the court
room and declared that "they'' could
hang him if they would only give him
some morphine first. The man was
either so sick-or else he feigned it-that
the Justice feared he would die and or
dered him sent to the hospital.
At the latter institution the men were
given the best of treatment and recuper-
ated Immediately. Then they showed
their appreciation.
When the ward in which the "fends''
were being cared for was visited yester-
day morning the two worthless were miss
ing. So was quantity of bedding and
other articles that the rascals could lay
their hands on. 1t was learned that they
also tried to steal one Of the beds, and
only failed because they could not get it
out of the door through which they es-
capped.
A telephone message was sent to the
Sheritf's office and police station notify
ing the officers of what had happened,
and Immediately Deputy Constable Swift,
Special Officer Greer and Michael Judge
started out in pursuit.
The men will now be tried on a second
charge OF petty larceny, and if convicted,
this sentence will be added to the one
hanging over their heads for stealing the
cemetery hose. The latter Judgment is
now likely to be rather severe, and the
"hends" will have some cause to remem-
Der their act Of ingratitude.

FOUND GUILTY.

But ''Whitesides,' the Detective,
Makes a Forcible Appeal.
"Mr. Whitesides' was tried in the
Police Court yesterday for vagrancy and
found guilty, sentence being deferred
until to-day.
Whitesides is the young man who rep
resented that he was detective, and who,
having visited a faro game and lost some
money, wanted Officer Talbot to recover
it by little scheme that was very
crooked.
He was also charged with having
threatened Second and L street dam
sels life and with making other disturb
ances.
During the examination OF the witness,
Whitesides conducted his case with con-
siderable shrewdness and ability, and at
its close made very earnest and intelIi-
gent plea.
He stated that he was a Kentuckian
and lmbued with the principles of chiv-
airy and honor common TO the sons of
the dark and bloody ground, that he
scOrned the charge of vagrancy, and told
how he had endeavored to secure employ
ment from various places. He has but
one hand, and claims to have lost the
other in railroad work, and that his de-
tective propensities led him into all sorts
OF company.
