The condition of Mr.. w. II. Johnson,
colored, who was run over by the cars at
Lamy few weeks ago while on his way
to Albuquerque from Santa Fe, is grow
ing worse, and he is likely to suecumb to
the inevitable before many hours, says

1t is probable that the body of Boat
swain John j. Glynn, who died in Ell
Paso three days after his arrival in that

st. Michaels college grounds yesterday
were again the scene of well-contested
game of baseball between the Pioneers,
of the college, and the Indian boys, of the
government school, and again did the
former players prove themselves invinci-
BILE, defeating their antagonistsb by a score
in the proportion of 8 to l, which shows
how creditably the work was done by the
youthful champions. Keep up your
present pace, boys, and your future an
