Colorado's Demand Upon New Mexico
"A Big String of Convicts--
Other Official News.

Adiutaut General G. ". Knaebel was
not little surprised yesterday to re-
ceive from Adjutant General Tarsney, of
Colorado, letter equestins the payment
OF $3.50 by New Mexico to Colorado for
services alleged to have been rendered in
1898 during the Navajo Indian outbreak
in San Juan county when ranchman
named Welch was killed. The letter
states that, at the request of the sheriff
of San Juan county, the citizens Of Du-
range made call upon the Colorado
state authorities for aid, and that in re-
spouse thereto Adjutant General Tarsney
sent arms and ammunition from Denver
to Durango by special train at cost of
$3.50. In reply Col. Knaebel states that
at the time of this outbreak a company
of New Mexico militia was available at
TERRA Amarillo and this company as
we'll as cavalry could have been detailed
to duty in San Juan had the matter been
called to the attention of the governor of
New Mexico; that the sheriff Of San Juan
should have called first for aid upon the
governor of this territory, that the Colo
rado authorities made an error in recog-
nizing the request of such sheriff before
communicating with New Me1ico's exec
utive and that under the circumstances
'this Office can not nor is it willing to
make Colorado the reimbursement aug
gested."
CRIMINALS At THE PEN. u 4
There arrived at the penitentiarya at 2
a. m. to-day an excursion party from Las
Vegas under the guardianship of Mr.. sFe-
hpe Lopez, deputy sheriff. All Of the
party, ten in number, were highly pleased
with the warm reception they received
as it was numerically cold outside-and
have concluded to make stay in the
beautiful climate of Santa Fe as follows:
Florencio Parros, George Apodaca, for
life, murder I'd degree; Nicanor Gallegos,
eight years, murder Sd degree; Dolores
Jaramillo, Fermin Benavidez, eight years,
arson; Leandro Mestas, five years, murder
Sd degree; David Norman, five years,
larceny; Juan Roybal, one year, larceny
berry from the person; Serafin Baoa, one
year, permitting prisoner to escape.
1t is a matter worthy of note as to what
a remarkable change has taken place in
San Miguel since Judge Thos. Smith runs
the judiciary department.. Formerly
Juan Roybal would likely have gotten
twenty years for cattle stealing and Par
ros and Apodaca would have been acquit-
ted. Oh, what bad fellows these Dem
oorats are! .s
