CRIMINALS CAUGHT.
Sheriff Cunningham's Smooth Work
Wise Use of Witnesses.

Santa Fe county enjoys the proud dis
tinction of having sheriff who knows
the difference between murderer and a
good citizen. The NEW MEXICAN has
already published many words respect
ing the murder and burning of Tomas
Martinez. Sheriff Cunningham has solved
the problem. Regardless of the fact that
other people we're accused and in his
possession, the sheriff acted on another
and it appears the correct theory. He
realized that the prisoners he had in
charge were not guilty, but knew about
the killing and might aid him in placing
the heavy hand of the law on the guilty
ones. His theory was correct. The per-
sons in irons revealed the truth and the
really guilty ones are now in the county
jail. Their names are as follows: Jesus
Vialpando, alias Juan Sandoval; Felici-
ano Chavez, alias Teodoro Montoya;
Emilio Encinias, alias Jose Analla, and
Zenovio Trujillo.
The interesting story will be told in
the NEW MEXICAN tomorrow.

THE FIRE FIEND.
indianapolis Fine DenisOn Hotel
lDOOmed-A College Destroyed.

Indianapolis, Feb. 7.-Shortly after 10
O'Clock this morning fire broke out on
the fifth floor of the Denison hotel.
Owing to the intensely cold weather the
firemen we're handicapped.
The Denison hotel is located at Ohio
and Pennsylvania streets and is the
largest hotel in the city, having 300 guest
rooms.
The hotel quickly filed with smoke
and the guests left quietly. For a time
it seemed as If the fire would spread to
the Grand opera house and Empire
theater. Fireman Frank Nutter and an
electric light man, Pat Ryan, were
knocked from the ladder by a falling
cornice. Nutter is probably fatally and
Ryan seriously injured. The flames at
this hour (12:45) are still confined to the
southeast portion of the building,
though the FIRE is not by any means under
control. The hotel is valued at 100000
and the loss is thus far estimated at
100000.
Memphis, Tenn.-The Bethaven female
college at Jackson, Miss, burned this
morning. Loss, $4,000; insurance, $87,-

Under date of February 25, DR.. Pasca,

with kerosene and set OH fire. 1t was
like furnace for short time, then sub
sided and was easily put out. The tim
bers we're charred, but not materially in
jured. All of our mules we're in the mine
and we're suffocatel. 1t was undoubtedly
done for that purpose, and it is difficult
at this time of the year, or at'any time, to
get the right sized mules for this mine.

7. s. LAND COURT.
Details Of a Busy Session-A,ras Cut
Down and Grants Confirmed
The De Vargas Claim.

Yesterday was a busy day in the U. S.
court of private land claims. Case No.
Z, Sebastian de Vargas grant, Santa Fe
county, was heard last week on the bill of
review and supplemental petition filed
by the claimants, and in support of which
testimony was introduced. The bill was
in relation to the west portion of the
grant, which the court rejected at a
former term. The decision of the court
yesterday was against the claimants, de-
nying their bill of review and dismissing
the supplemental petition. The amount
of land affected by the decision is about
10000 acres. The case will be appealed :.
No. 81, Felipe Tafoya grant, Valencia
county, Roman A. Baca, claimant, opin-
ion by Mr.. Justice Murray, presiding. The
amount of land claimed by petitioner
was 22,578 acres. The court held the
grant was one of quantity, and that the
alcalde in giving possession exceeded his
authority. The court confirms the grant
to the extent of one league, 1910 acres,
and petitioner is given ninety days in
which to elect where he will have the
same located within the out-boundaries
as given by the alcalde.
No. IS, San Mateo grant, Valencia
county, Roman A. Baca, claimant, opin-
ion by Mr.. Justice Fuller. Petitioner
claimed about $500 acres. The court
held this to be also grant by quantity
and not by boundaries, and confirmed it
to one league, 1910 acres, with the re-
striction that it must be located so as
not to conflict with the lands of any third
party.
No. "a, Ignacio Chaves grant, Berna-
lilo county, W. p. Miller claimant. The
amount of land claimed was 243,O38
acres. The court, Mr.. Justice Sluss de-
livering very able opinion, considers at
length the many questions raised, and
decided them nearly all against the petit
TONERS and confirms the grant to about
$4,000 acres. The location of the north
boundary was argued this morning at
length, and if the court fixes it where
petitioners claim it should be-, under the
ruling of the court, it will make differ
ence of few thousand acres in claimants
favor.
To-day No. 70, Antonio Baca grant,
Mariana 8. Otero ct al, claimants, came
up on motion for rehearing. Evidence
was introduced and the case is being re-
argued this afternoon, Jno. H. Knaebel
and H. B. Hamilton for petitioners and
Matt. G. Reynolds and s. Burkhart for the
United States.

The sequel to the spirited incident the

Cured this morning when the -rmer

gar bounty claims. Mr.. Harris, looking

Chicago, Feb. 7.-WesterI passenger
affairs have gone to the bad oil at once,
and are now in worse middle than they
have been at any time during the past
six weeks. The Union Pacific is the
cause of the difficulty, demanding con
cessions respecting California business
from the lately organized pool that can
not be granted. The situation has been
further complicated by the announce
ment of the Missouri Pacific that it will
not become member of the Western
Trunk Line committee until the Union
Pacific has Joined it.

THE 400-YARD LIMIT.
Madame Powers Arrested for Violat ng
 the Law.

The grand jury report had the ef- feet of bringing Minnie Powers, who runs the Louvre in the northern DOT tion of the town, into trouble, District Attorney Millay having brought crim- inal proceedings against her, charging her with running house of iE-fame within the 400-yard limit. Several persons who reside in that neighbor- hood have for some time past said that the Louvre conducted by Minnie Pow CTS was nothing but an assignation house, but no direct evidence being available, nothing was done until the grand jury referred to the violation of the 400-yard limit.
 Madame Powers demanded a jury trial. The rest of the day was taen up by the prosecution.
 The members of the grand jury res ident in Phoenix were subpoenaed as witnesses. When placed on the stand they stated that they had no direct knowledge that the place was a house of ill-fame, but that their report was based on hearsay.
 The case was continued until today, when the defense will give its testi- mOny.

ARCHAELOGIsT CUSHING.
About to Investigate West Indian
 Antiquities.

According to a special dispatch to the Los Angeles Times Frank Gushing, the well-known ethnologist, whose interest ing discoveries among the Zuni Indians some years ago procured him fame, has gone upon an exploring expedition which promises results of great value on the American continent. He will be joined at St. Augustine by a number of assistants, including a number of la borers, to do the necessary eXcavating. He will sail on the schooner for Pine Island, below the southern Florida Keys, where a thorough investigation, expected to last several months, will be made into the recently y-discovere mounds, built by a remarkable people who maintained comparatively high state of civilization many centuries ago.
 In nasty reconnaissance of these re- mar kable archaeological finds last win ter, Cushing came upon hitherto un- Ithought-of phases of aboriginal life, closely related to the mound builders of the Mississippi and contiguous re- gions, and uncovered well-preserved remains of the perishable work of the stone age, or rather the shell art made from shells and shell implements of various kinds were found in excellent condition, among the most remarkable being a shell pick, still mounted on its original handle of mango-wood

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house bill introduced by MT. Hopkins, Repub- hcan of Illinois, passed to amend the statute fixing the customs district of Chicago 50 that the district would em- brace all of the state of Illinois and h. diana.
 A resolution then passed for the ap- pointment of Isaac Hill of Ohio as deputy sergeant-at-arms and three other employees agreed upon by the Democratic caucus.
 The house memorial adopted by the National Wool Growers association on Saturday calling for higher duties was presented by MT. Danforth of Ohio, but Mr. Crisp of Georgia objected To its reception. MT. Crisp also objected to a resolution by Cannon of Utah, calling on Secretary Hoke Smith for his au- thority for the order suspending all operations for the land office by which settlers on Pacific railroad grant lands in Utah and Nebraska could perfect their titles.
 At 1:1O the house adjourned until to- morrow.
