The trial OF William T. Witt for alter.
ing a brand was heard last week and re-
suited in his acquittal. This is one Of
the Pine Cienega cases Of which several
have been tried since the indictments
we're found. None Of the defendants
who have gone to trial have been con-
vioted.
The grand Jury found an indictment
against W. Lee Thompson for the kill
ing Of /. l. Ancheta at San Lorenzo.
Thompson's bail was fixed at $1,000
which he promptly furnished aud was
released. The circumstances of the kill
ing are still fresh in the memory OF the
people of this section.

John r. McFie has made his parting
address to the bar Of Grant County :as
Judge of this, the third, judicial district.
In saying farewell to him the members
OF this bar and the people of Grant
County have to regret the departure Of
one Of the most. affable, courteous and
kindly hearted men hat ever graced the
bench Of this district. Judge McFie has
been greatly hampered in his work here
by The lack Of funds to carry on the
courts and be has had to suspend work
at times in the midst OF pushing through
arush Of business, but he has worked
conscientiously night and day while be
could, and has left a remarkably clean
slate to his successor. While parting,
with regret, from Mr.. McFie as judge
we hope TO see him here again frequent
ly on one side or the other Of those many
important cases which come before the
court in Silver City and In which the
reputation be has earned for himself
will cause him to be retained.
