Everywhere about the valleys of
New Mexico, invariably upon emin-
ences, and usually upon high Hat
topped mesas or table hills, are the
ruins of houses of the ancient semi
civilized Indian population that lived
here and titled the soil before the
coming Of the Spaniarls, four CEN
turies ago The numbers Of this old
population can be only vaguely in
ferred by the numerous cobblestone
foundations Of their houses, still well
defined above the surface OF the
ground, and by the debris of the
fallen walls which constitute hillo,ks,
grass grown and intermixed with occa.
sional old stone utensils and countless
fragments of pottery, This pottery
when turned up by the spade is found
to be handsome and varied in color
and ~ fresh OF tint as il coul have
been when the village was destroyed
or abandoned and every tradition OF
its existence lost in prehistoric past.

THREE MURDERERs LYNCHED.
Prairie Justice Given TO Farmers Who
Killed One OF Their Fellows For
His Property Near Russell,


Killed One OF Their Fellows For
His Property Near Russell,
Kansas.
At Russell, Kan, there was terrible ex-
hibition ofprairie justice and three men
met death at the hand Of Judge Lynch. The
victims were J. G. Burton William Gay and
the later's son, John Gay, who have lived
together on Burtons farm. The men were
confessedly guilty Of the murder of Frede-
rick Dininy last July.
Dininy lived with T. W. Burton, II miles
north, and July 9, he disappeared. Burton
had Dininys team and even wore some of
his clothes but said Dininy had gone to
oklahoma with young Gay. The latter re-
turned short time ago and on close ques-
ioniug confessed that Burton had poisoned
Dininy. The elder Gay attempted 10 point
cut the place of burial but failed. Burton
then made confession that the Gays killed
him and Thursday took the sheriff 10 q
corn field in rayine where the decompos-
ed and mutilated body was found. lndig-
nation ran high and IL was with difficulty
the three men could be brought 10 iail.
Saturday midnight picked party of 1870
farmers forced Their way into the Jail and
dragged out the terrified trio. The mob took
the men 10 a railroad bridge over a little
prairie stream about 100 rods east of the
Russell station. Ropes were put around
the neck OF each Of the prisoners and tied TO
the stringers of the bridge. There was no
time given for prayers and pleadings and at
signal all three were pushed off the edge
Of the bridge and dropped or 10 feet. The
mob then fired two shots into each body
although death came quickly by the rope.
Then the lynchers rode away quietly. In
the morning the coroner cut down the
bodies and without delay the jury rendered
verdict that the deceased came TO their
deaths at the hands of persons unknown.
There is little sympathy for the victims.
The murder was cruel and heartless and the
murdered man had many friends.

The New York Herald draws from
the recent experiences OF France and
Spain the lesson that anarchistic agi.
tation should not be tolerated in this
country. Agitation, il says, "is the
forerunner of action. Let anarchists
freely preach their infer n Il doctrines
and the next step will be to practice
them. Hence the most, If not the
only, effective way, to deal with the
danger is TO nip il in the bud. II it does
not get start it will not make any
headway. That has been the policy OF
the police in this city, and it should
be rigidiy adhered to. The right OF
peaceable assembly and free speech is
the right of every citizen in this coun-
try. That right is not to be denied
nor infringed. But there is no license
TO preach bomb throwing and no
meetings for that purpose or speaking
TO that effect arp TO be permitted. Ex'
perience has pr@ wed that the mouthins
Of such sentiments is dangerous and

the patriarchs. We find that Abraham

out bunch of cattle from his herds. he
mustered three hundred and eighteen Of
his cowboys, recovered the steers and
hung the thieves His herd must have
been big one to need so many cowboys.
In the old days cattle were about the

means of barter. The first metal money
