The Queen as On Entertainer.

A good story is told of one of Prin-
cess Christians children. During some
tableaux-vivants at Windsor, the child,
who was very much bored, said to her
majesty: "0h, grandma, I'm tired of
this! What are they doing it for?''
ITO amuse me, my dear" replied the
queen. The royal youngster gazed at
her majesty for a moment and then
inquired gravely, But when are you
going to amuse us?"-London nlustra-

SOME SPECULATION.
A V-Shaped Proposition for the Elk.
tension of the Narrow Gauge
Line Southwark.

1.-THE people of Santa Fe are already
talking about building line sixty miles
southwark to connect at Bernal with the
proposed Pecos Valley line" observes
the Eddy Argus, having reference to the
proposed extension Of the Pecos Valley
railroad northward from Eddy. This is
correct. Business men here believe that
the only new and more direct connection
Colorado cities can hope now to secure
with central and southern New Mexico is
by pushing south the narrow gauge sys,
tenn. Take glance at the map and the
situation will be seen to be very simple
one. That is, suppose the D. & R. G.
line is extended to Cerrillos and thence
puts out spur to tap the Pc
cos Valley road on the southeast
while another branch takes a south.
westerly course via San Pedro and Tie
ras canon to Albuquerque. Such "V'
shaped project would bring the narrow
gauge system in direct touch with the
lower Pecos valley and the southeast at OF
near Bernal and with the southwest and
west at Albuquerque. Thus by the con.
struction of less than $50 miles of new
road the narrow gauge would have an
outlet to the principal points in New
Mexico, western Texas and northern Ari-
IONA.

A GALISTEO KILLING.
In a Playful Mood Severian0 Pena is
Bored With a Bullet by One
Gonzales. IS j,

There was killing at Galisteo on Sun
da~ night. Juan Gonzales shot Seve-
riano Pena, and the latter is probably
dead ere this. Pena was clerk in the
village store and had had some difficulty
with Gonzales, it appears. The latter
came into the store in company with
Ambrosio Madril and renewed the alter
cation, finally drawing his revolver. He
threw it down on Pena and pulled the
trigger, but it failed of discharge. Pena
evidently thought the man was merely
trying to brighten him and walked
around outside the counter. Turning to
Madril he asked if he should try it
again, or words to that effect and receiv-
ing an affirmative nod Gonzales again
pulled down on Pena and this time the
gun went off, the bullet striking it's VIC
tim in the pit of the stomach.
Gonzales and Madril fled. Yesterday
morning Deputy Sheriff Matias Sandoval
and two Others mounted horses and
trailed them into the mountains beyond
Ortiz station, where the two men were
taken into custody about noon. They
we're brought here last night and placed
in jail to await results. DR.. Palmer was
called from Cerillos to attend the wound
ed man; information just received from
Galisteo is to the effect, that the wounded
man died at 10 O'Clock last night.

Frank Lesuet, receiver of the United
States land Office at Roswell was not
murdered, but is alive. The latest from
the Eddy Argus is as follows:
few days ago an inspector was sent
out to investigate the affairs of the absent
official. His reports has not been made
public. But before the arrival of the
examiner, Lesnet's bondsmen were feeling
very uncomfortable. They were, or some
of them at least, satisfied that they were
liable to have to pay the government
$4,000 unless Lesnet returned and
delivered the money or showed up credits
to cover receipts. So much for that
point.
Now, when Lesnet returned to Ell Paso
from Santa Fe he may have intended to
come home, but for some reason fingered
there eight days, finally telegraphing that
he was detained as a witness, presumably
at Las Cruces. But he was not at Las
Cruces. While in Ell Paso he was in the
company of several jolly spirits like him
self.
That Lesnet got 5000 in small bills in
Ell Paso for the Roswell bank, indicates
that he started home. But w. M. Reed,
civil engineer of this city, who is in New
York, met him in Fort Worth on the
10th instant, after the banking transac-
tion at Ell Paso.
Certain it is, no one well informed as
to his actions now thinks Lesnet was
murdered. The condition of his accounts
may have been such that at the last
moment he failed in courage to face the
music,

John RObertsOn's Death

John Robertson, city engineer, and a
man highly respected and esteemed for
his many virtues as man, crossed over
into the great beyond at $3.50 last night
Mr.. Robertson had been ill only about
two weeks, being first taken down with a
severe cold, which resulted in fever of a
typhoid-malarial type. He passed away
peacefully surrounded by his family, his
two sons and his devoted wife.
The deceased was native of Scotland,
his birthplace being Kilso-on- the-Tweed.
He was civil engineer by profession,
and held many diplomas from the British
government awarded for his work in the
field of science. He was graduate of
Edinbourgh university, and studied
under such scientists as Frofs. Hoffman,
Tindal and Huxley. He was member
of the Fellows Society of Arts and of the
Royal Society of Arts, and was prom
inent Mason. He came to the United
States in 1866 and settled at Scranton,
Penn, where for years he had charge of
the Delaware g. Hudson Canal company
real estate department. In 1878 he came
west as the manager of coal mines in
Arkansas and because of failing health he
left there and came to Las Vegas in 1880.
Several years we're spent also IN California
at Fresno, and some three years ago Sur
veyor General Hobart sent for him to
come here and engage in government
work.
Mr.. Robertson was man of rare edu-
cation and superior ability, and was in
the truest sense a good citizen and
christian gentleman. The world can i'll
afford to lose such men, and there is gen.
eral regret expressed over his demise.
His age was &C years. He leaves wife
and three sons, one in Scranton, the other
two Messrs. John H. and Arthur Robert
son, of this city. The remains have been
embalmed and will be taken east tonight
for burial at Scranton, Mrs. Robertson
and her elder son accompanying the
body,
