FIRE SWEPT PLAINS.
A Wall of Fire les Miles Long Rag.
Ing In Eastern New Mexico and
Western Texas

San Antenio, Texas, Dec. 13.--Letters
from l.. p. Holman, ranchman of Deane,
Texas, says: The largest and most de-
structive fire known in years has swept
over large portion of tho plains and is
still burning to the south. 1t began near
the Pecos river, just this side of Fort
Sumner, N. NJ, two weeks ago and
burned toward the southwest, taking in
the large pastures of Ray Bros, Deliver
Bros, and others, and large amount of
open range. Then tho wind turned and
blew gale, driving a

fifty to seventy-fve miles long to the
east. The best horse could not head the
blaze. 1t crossed the Escarlade division
of the Capitol Syndicate pasture, clean
ing out greater portion of the range. 1t
also crossed over the north part of the
Spring lake division of that company's
lands.
If it had not besn for the heroic eff
forts of few men along the fire guards
and west of La Plata the whole country
toward Amarillo would have been burned.
AS it was the fire was forced south and
crossed into the southern part of Deaf
Smith and Castro counties.
THE LINE OF FIRE
was thence forced east nearly through
Deaf Smith county until it struck Ran.
dali county, when it turned northeast once
more.
How far it burned east is not known,
but it is supposed to have reached the
front of the plains. A strong northern
wind came up, driving the fire line ex-
tending from the banks of the Pecos on
the west to point far east Of here

plains, to the south. This solid breast

was still seen rolling up from the south.
The greater portion Of the vast area
included in the outlines given was burned
clean. Guards and roads that would have
stopped ordinary fires did not even
check except this at few places like the
eastern part of Deaf Smith county. The
greater part of the entire range is burned.

Antonite, Colo, Dec. 13.--The district
court convened at Conejos yesterday.
The present term promises to be the most
noted held in Conejos county for many
years. The first case on the docket is the
Ortiz-Arellano murder case, in which
Casimiro Arellano will be tried for the
killing of his wife and her parameur, Re-
fugio Ortiz in July last. John Waldron,
the noted criminal lawyer of Pueblo, who
will assist in the prosecution, arrived
several days ago and has been at work on
the case. 7. B. Mcdonald and j. W..
Hughes will stand for the defense.
The case promises to be very sensa-
tional and will probably OCCUPY a week.
Refugio Ortiz, one of the wealthiest men
in southern Colorado, will do all in his
power to convict. General sympathy
seems to be with Arelano, who had his
erring wife and young Ortiz arrested
several months before the killing, but re-
leased them upon compromise.

reports Of several robbers going about at
nights. While It is a fact that sorue petty

so far has transpired to lead to the conclusion
that any organized band Of thieves exists.

alert. In fact SO eager were some folks to
catch the thief, that they seized a lad last
night, and amid deafenins shouts conveyed

the powerful pumps being kept agoing con.

competent to give an opinion on the matter
state that the job was a hard one all round
and one that entities those who accomplished
tito much credit. To Captain Tooker, the
clever chief of the wrscking crew the highest
praise is especially due, for it was through
his able plans and direction that the work
was executed. The steamer is expected
