CONDITION OF INJURED MEN.

DR.. Sloan reports that both Andcr-
son and Adams are getting along all
right. Anderson has not ben confined to
his bed, and Adams, who was much the
worst hurt and is still at the hospital, will
be able to be around in two or three
days.
CONCLUSIVE CLUES.
Since this above was written Sheriff
Cunningham informs che NEW MEXICAN
that negro answering the above de-
sription was certainly seen by Stinson
and others on the road ahead of the
wagon in which Anderson and Adams
rode and was also seen by Mike O'Neil
following behind the wagon about $50
yards off. This was near the Cash Entry
mine. 1t may be added right here that,
about l O'Clock to-day, Anderson saw the
negro in Jail and fully identified him as
the one who assaulted him and Adams with
the az.
Sheriff Cunningham says that the
negro had neither money nor anything
else of value on his person when arrest
ed.
The preliminary examination of the
negro will probably occur tomorrow
before Justice Borrego, but the hour has
not yet been fixed.

The King Affair.

In reference to the incarceration at
Ascension, Mexico, of Israel King, ex-
member of the legislature from Grant
county, and his cowboys, Henry Coleman
and John Ward, it appears that there is
another side to the affair.
U. s. Consul Lewis N. Buford, at
Juarez, says:
81 have been expecting Kings men to
get into trouble, complaint having been
made to me several times by the Mexi-
can officials that Kings men we're acting
badly; that they refused to obey the laws
of the land, and openly boosted that no
greaser could arrest them. When I
heard these complaints warned the men
that they would get into trouble unless
they behaved themselves"
It is now said that Consul Buford has
received notice that King is not with the
men as reported. He says that all of the
American cattlemen in Mexico will have
to suffer because of the wild conduct of
the King riders.
Gov. Thornton has received no further
information on the subject. At his re-
quest Consul Buford aud the Jefe Politi-
GO at Juarez are investigating the case.

A Big Catch.

Late this afternoon it turns out that
this negro is bigger criminal catch than
anybody thought of. He is no less per-
sonage than Tom Simpson, who was one
of four convicts who sawed their way out
of the Colorado penitentiary at Canon
City last Monday. Sheriff Cunningham
had received photographs of the escaped
Jail birds and their descriptions and he
found this afternoon that this negro had
all the marks and body scars called for
by the description of Simpson sent him
by Warden Cleghorn, of Canon City.
TERRIBLE RECORD.
Simpson has shocking criminal rec
ord. He is of that type of the southern
negro class whose members are heard of
at intervals as being burned at the stake
or hanged for their crimes against white
women and children. He was born in
Marshall, Salina county, Missouri, and
went to Denver at the age of II years.
While still under Is he was arrested for
burglary and sent to the state reform
school at Golden. few weeks after his
release he committed another burglary
and was sent to the county Jail by De-
tective Sam Howe. In the West side
criminal court on October 20, 1888, he
pleaded guilty to petty larceny, receiving
a Jail sentence of ninety days.
Later he was sent up for two years for
robbery and while working as trusty in
the penitentiary garden he called at the
nearby home of Mrs. Robert Tallman,
under the pretense of getting drink of
water, found the woman alone with her
two small children, and in their presence
he
ASSAULTED AND OUTRAGED HER.
Simpson then fed. The whole neighbour
hood Joined in searching for him. He
was captured four days later at Trinidad
and came very near being lynched upon
his return to Canon City.
Simpsons trial for the assault on Mrs.
Tallman resulted in his sentence to forty
years imprisonment. Since then he fur
Their signalized himself by making saw
age attack on Harley Mccoy in one of the
prison corridors. Mccoy offered him
some trivial insult and nearly paid for it
with his life.
Warden Oleghorn and the people of
Fremont, Colo, will doubtless be delight
ed to learn that Sheriff Cunningham has
the brute behind the bars again, as they
know from his past record that no home
is safe from outrage and dishonor. while
this human beast of prey ID at large.

JOHN DALE SURPRISED.


After the name of John Dale as sole ex-

with the usual legal and technical flour

capacity for the exhibition of "wildness"
had wonderfully increased. Sometimes
she was to be seen dancing on big fat
topped rock that stood out in the river
with garland of flowers on her head, and
at others astonished the passing miners by
calling out to them from the top of some
spreading oak. 1t caused no surprise
when with "hellon' she made her ap-
pearance, candle in hand, in the mine
where her father and his partners were
welding their picks and sledges far out
under the bar. She was her fathers pet,
and whenever it came into her head to pay
him visit, she would go to the mouth of
the tunnel, light candle and march into
the mine as fearlessly as did the miners
them selves.
In warm, bright weather favorite re-
sort of the child was 4 high plateau far
above the river and far back from the trail
along which the occupants oF the scattered
cabins forming the outskirts of the little
town were wont to pass. Although this
plateau was composed principally OF solid
rock, yet there were in many places little
patches OF soil that produced p great
variety OF plants and flowers. She made

That evening when old Ben entered his

table in an old fruitcan neatly arranged
bouquet of wild flowers.

as with widely opened eyes he gazed at the
unwonted sight. "WonderfuI! What is

calls herself Turn Tum.' She was playing
with flowers"
The old man took up the flowers, inhaled
their fragrance, then replaced them and

and covered his face with his hands. Sud
denly he started up and muttered: Hum,

about the place, he said:

Several times while preparing his frugal
meal old Ben paused in his work and
glanced at the flowers, the first that had
ever been seen in his cabin, and finally said:
"Well! we'll ! and she calls herself 'Tum

sURLY BEN MAKES WILL.
The following day q lawyer. who had
been sent for by old Ben to draw up his
WILL arrived from Sonora, the nearest large
town. John Dale and two or three of his
nelghbors were present by request as his
witnesses. Little Tum Tum was at the
bedside of the old man when the lawyer
arrived, for she had come early with a
bouquet gathered while the dew was still
on the flowers.
When it was noised about Bartons Bar
that old '.Ben Surly" had sent to Sonoma
for lawyer and was 'goin' to make

the men and women of that place found

"But, my friend, where is this gold
Where are we to look for it?''
''The child knows where it is" said old
Ben. ''She'll find it."
This announcement created profound
sensation among those present, as may be
imagined, and no one was more astonished
than John Dale.
''Do you know where all this gold is ?''
said the lawyer, turning to the little girl.

quietly.
