D0lngs About the Capitalize Courts
The U. S. District Court to
Convene on Monday.

There are sixty-fve cases set for hear
ing by the U. s. court of private land
claims at the present term, and the gov
eminent is ready and anxious to go on
with them, but the attorneys for claimants
are SO profuse in their excuses, so busy
with other matters, they say, that the
business before the court is now actually
at stand still. At this time it appears
that little or no business on the docket
will come on for trial for two weeks.
Chief Justice Reed, Justice Sluss and
Clerk Reeder left for their eastern homes
yesterday, and will return about June 3.
In the m eantime majority of the court
is here to give attention to business in
case any of the attorneys see fit to push
their clients interests.
MAIL FACILITIES.
At last the postal department has been
good enough to give the people of Glen
ega, post office, naming it "Romero"
and appointing Carlos Romero postmas-
ter. There are between 300 ana 400 peo-
pie in that region, twelve miles south
west of Santa Fe, and heretofore they
have been compelled to go to Carbonate
vile, distance of nine miles, to secure
their mail. The new office will be supplied
with mail from the Santa Fe Office tri-
weekly, by horse back service. Now
what's the matter with putting on daily
mail between Santa Fe and the Cochiti
district towns and supplying Romero by
the same service. 1t is hoped the postal
authorities will act on this suggestion
and thereby give the Cochiti miners much
improved facilities.
sOCoRRO DISTRICT COURT.
Judge N. B. Laughlin came up from
Socorro last night and returns this even
ing to resume court there tomorrow, by
which time he hopes to secure jury out
of the special venlre issued yesterday in
the case of Padilla, ct al, charged with
the assassination of the Datil mountain
mail carrier, Romero, some eighteen
months ago.
In the case of Brit. Wilson, charged with
criminal association with his niece,the jury
at Socorro brought in verdict of guilty.
The Wilson's are bad lot generally, it
appears, who have record in western
Texas. One of them is under numerous
indictments for cattle stealing in Socorro
county and Bone Wilson, father of the
girl in this affair, was killed few years
ago by Texas rangers. He was des-
perado on whose head the state placed a
reward of $4,000 and just before he was
killed he murdered sheriff and deputy
sheriff.
