The recent fall in the temperature hai
been unlocked for and therefore thu
more unwelcome. Some snow has faller
in the higher elevations in the northern
portion of the territory. This, however
will be of more benefit than otherwise as
it will add materially to the water supply
of the northern counties.

spent Saturday in Ration. He recently
sold the Eagle Tail ranch to Mr.. Flor.

matter. The governor thinks the big san.
itarium at Fort Union, if Mr.. Eames

success and of great benefit to the terri
tory.-Raton Range.
The spring quarrel between the tax
assessors of the northern tier of counties
and the stockmen OF southern Colorado
is now going on. The Coloradoans
winter their stock in the warm aud fertile
valleys of northern New Mexico, and
then kick worse than one of their own
steers when our assessors levy the legal
tax on the same.
The pro posed opening of the Ute res
ervation to homeseekers has attracted
the attention of people residing in va
rious parts of the west even as far east
as Kansas and Nebraska. A number OF
people from the Oklahoma country ar
rived in Aztec this week, who propose
to move on the reservation as soon as
the same is thrown open to settlement
by the presidents proclamation.-Sar
Juan Index.
The proof that New Mexico is the
paradise of summer sojourners lies in
the fact that every town in the territory
contains each summer number OF health
and pleasure seekers. Surrounding Las
Vegas, in the hills, are no less than q
dozen resorts for invalids and those on
pleasure bent, commencing with the Las
Vegas hot springs, with fine hotels, which
are now being renovated and prepared
for the reception of guests as fast as
money can accomplish the work.
Owing to the excitement Of the time, il
being the eve of election, the meeting
called for last Monday evening, at EI
Paso, to take action in raising 100000
bonus for the White Oaks road, although
fairly veil attended, did not result in any
definite action. Many prominent citi-
zens we're in attendance a. ratification
meetings of their respective political
parties and we're thus kept away from
the meeting which was adjourned to
some other evening in the near future,
when everyone interested in the project
will be at liberty to attend.
Jas. Miller and John Kenny, ia the en-
ploy of the Robbins brothers, at their
wool-scouring plant in Las Vegas, had
bad blood between them. Miller went
into room where Kenny was at work,
professedly to get a pair of boots, but, as
buo COuTU uclloFouy IodliJ W AoAoo u ASW'
Kenny ordered him out, using a variety
of epithets more forceful than elegant
Miller drew his gun and fred at Kenny
twice, the latter being on the run both
times. Judge Wooster bound Miller over
in the sum of $500, to appear before the
grand jury.
Mrs. NJ. j. Borden, president of the W
c. I. U. at Albuquerque, has signified
her intention of going to La Belle in the
near future for the purpose Of organizing
temperance society in that young and
vigorous camp. While miners as rule
do not care for that sort of thing, es-
pecially in a booming camp, where all
their time is occupied in prosecuting
their legitimate business, it is safe to as
ssrt that Mrs. Borden will receive a royal
welcome and be courteously treated by
the miners, and citizens generally, of La
Belle.
John Calvin, one of the oldest resi-.
dents of Deming, was brought up and
put in Jail here last Saturday to await
the action of the next graud jury on a
charge of assault with intent to kill. Bail
was fixed by the justice at Deming at
$4,000 which Calvin was unable to give
Wm. Smith, the man whom Calvin as.
saulted, was brought to the Sisters hos.
pital here last Friday with q broken leg
and other serious injuries from which
DR.. Kennon stated that he could not re-
cover. He died ON Monday morning
last and Mr.. Calvin will probably be
tried at the next term of the district
court here for murder. Mr.. Calvin has
the reputation of being peeceable man
when sober but this is not the first time
he has got into trouble on account of his
bibulous habits. The killing of Smith
resulted from drunken quarrel.-SilvsI
