A delegation from tho Woman's Board

crete coping could be placed about the
plaza for one-third the cost Of stone and

this iron bolts arc to be set so that any
time when it is deemed necessary neat

The ladies complained that some of the

ABRUTAL CRIME.
Cruz Benayides Found Dead i'll Bed
Her Husband in Jail on the
Charge of Murder.

Cruz Benevides, the wife of Desidiro
Ortega, who resides near the Galisteo
street bridge, was found dead in her bed
at o'clock this morning. Her husband
made the discovery, and then he sprang
out of bed and went running up the
street yelling like mad man.
Squire Garcia empanneled coroner's
Jury and examined number of witnesses,
including the woman's husband. The
latter told very incoherent story.
There we're finger marks on the
woman's throat, and bruises on
her breast and abdomen which
indicate that she was strangled to death.
Ortega went home about II O'Clock last
night and he was very drunk. Valentine
Medrano, constable for the 18th precinct,
and Luciano Romero went home with
him. They say they found Ortega drunk
and assisted him home, and that when
they arrived the woman was lying on the
bed also under the influence of liquor
The theory of the crime is that Ortega
after Medrano and Romero left the house
quarreled with his wife and strangled hel
to death, and that he never realized what
had happened until he awoke at O'Clock
this morning. Ortega is in Jail to await
the action of the grand jury.

AN UNCANNY CALLER.
Queer Antics Witnessed by the Watch.
ers at Manuel Rivera's
Wake.

Manuel Rivera, a man about SO years
old and resident Of this place, died last
Sunday morning at his mothers house
near the government Indian school, and
as usual among the native people, some
friends and acquaintance of the family
assembled during the night to watch over
the body of the deceased. About 10 p. M.
a stranger, apparently an American, pres
ented himself at the house and going
into the room where the body was lying,
he made rush toward the corpse and
with unearthly yells and bowls caught
hold of the body and tried to drag it
away, saying that he wanted to carry it off
with him. Julian Rivera, brother of the
deceased, prevented him from effecting
his purpose and elected him from the
house. The people in the house were
very much alarmed over the strange APP
pearance and antics of the unknown man,
and were at loss to explain the reason
for such procedure. Everything had
Quoted down and the persons assembled
had resumed the prayers and singing
usual at wake, when about II o'clock,
tuo bGrdHSo uidu dPPOdIOu dSdAu anu az
tempted by main force to carry of the
corpse, but the mother of the deceased
and several friends rushed upon him and
drove him out of the house, aiming sew
eral blows at him and trying to catch him
to give him sound thrashing. But the
stranger showed himself very nimble; he
avoided the blows and ran away with sur
prising agility towards the Odd Bellows
cemetery, followed by the few men in the
house. When he arrived at the fence he
jumped over into the burial grounds and
disappeared-a least to tho sight of
those who followed.
The stranger il described as a short,
thick-set fellow, an old man in years and
of peculiar appearance. When he en-
tered the house he carried with him
bundle filled with stones; was hatless and
had his head bound with handkerchief;
all the people who saw him say they never
had seen him before, and some suppose
he may be wandering lunatic who con-
ceived the strange idea of carrying off
corpse. The superstitious have t that
the stranger was the evil one transformed
into an old man, with designs against the
soul of the deceased, but the fact that he
was sensitive to blows and afraid of
being caught seems sufficient to dispel
such theory. All agree in saying that the
thing was singularly strange and weird.
Deceased was buried yesterday and
nothing moro has been seen or heard
about the uncanny visltant.

OFFICIAL BUDGET.
Appropriations for the Surveyor-Gen-
erals Office-Executive Appoint
ments-Capital City Notes.

Surveyor General Hobart Is in receip
of copy of the sundry civil appropria
tions act containing the appropriation
by congress for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898. From this it appears thai
the appropriation for the survey of pub
lie lands was cut just one-half by the last
congress. Heretofore this item has beer
100000, and New Mexico's share was
$4,000; this year it is 100000 and the
surveyor general scarcely hopes to secure
more than $4,000, or $4,000 at most, fol-
public land surveys in this territory.
For the survey of private land claims
however, rather liberal provision has
been made. The act on this subject
reads: ~
"For the survey of private land claims
in the states of Colorado, Nevada and
Wyoming, and in the territories of Ari-
iona, New Mexico and Utah, confirmed
under the provisions of the act of con-
gress entitled ian act to establish a court
of private land claims, and for the resur-
vey of such private land claims hereto
fore confirmed as may be necessary $780,
OOO."
