For some time THE OPTIC has known Of
important evidence that was being gradu.
ally brought out in regard to the murder
OF ex-Sheriff John Dohersy OF Mora, but by
request has refrained to mention the fact
Matters reached a climax, this morning
however, when Agapito Abeyta was re-
arrested, and Victor Lujan arrested for
their completely in the most foul murder.
They we're brought to this city this after
noon by ex-sherif Juan Nevaro, Joe
Doberty and a guard by the name OF
Gallegos. The preliminary examination
will probably be held before Chief Justice
Smith, Tomorrow, in chambers. The web
Of evidence seems so completely woven
around the guilty parties, that the murder
Of John Doherty will surely be speedily
avenged.

H. Barecke, packed his belongings and
left for Chicago yesterday, without warn
ing to his wife and child. He was a health
seeker here and moved his family to New
Mexico a yea ago. His wife, who it seems,
had most of the property in the beginning,
had sacrificed her home and comfort to
come here, and by the strictest economy
and toll has kept their expenses to the
minimum. A few months ago she opened
up a small business, on Douglas avenue
and she has given this business
and her household duties her at
tention almost day and night, caring
for and waiting upon her ungrateful hus-
band, with never a pleasant word from
him, while yesterday he received $3.50
from Chicago, and left his wife and FIVE
year-old child here, with scarcely any
means and without even bidding them
good bye. The ~neighbors speak In the
very highest terms of Mrs. Barecke, and
can find nothing harsh enough to express
their opinion of her husband. The stock
of notions will be sold out at once, at any
price, and Mrs. Barecke and child will re-
turn to Chicago to friends there.

The appended clipping, from the Albu.
querque Citizen, prompts the query, as to
what that council committee is doing to-
ward raising a fund for sending a running
team to the tournament. Some OF the run
ners would very much like to know wheth-
er they will be expected to train this sum-
mer, or run without training, or not run
at all:
The firemen's rustling committee, out
these days, are meeting with good success
in securing subscriptions to the fund for
the coming iremen's tournament and con-
vention. The tournament occurs here on
July.2d, and continues for three days.
Thus it will be seen that the flremen will
make the occasion a grand Fourth Of July
celebration.
