Every indication points to an
affirmative answer.
The people of Las Cruces are
greatly excited over what will un-

murder. Colonel A. j. Fountain,
who left Las Cruces some time
since for Lincoln county to secure
indictments against the cattle
thieves who have for years infested
this section, should have arrived
home yesterday, but did not come.
Every clew as TO the cause Of his
absence points toward murder, in
which be and his little s year.old
son are the victims

GAVE HIM A SURPRISE,

Five Japanese Girls Took n Bath Be-
fore the Eyes of the Jniler.
From the Seattle Post -Intelligencer
There are five objects of curiosity at the
county Jail. They are the five musmees
from Yokohama imported for the yoshi-
wara Of Seattle. the five little maids who
came to grief few days ago on account Of
the restriction laws of the United States
They are at present In the rooms set apart
Tor women prisoners. where they are kept
in seclusion, safe from the eyes OF inQuis-
tive strangers. When any one is present
the bright-faced. black-haired subjects of
the mikado keep their almond eyes cast
down. One employs herself with a strange
looking book. the leaves of which she turns
from right to left; another has a pack of
4S Enthusiastically painted playing cards; still
another. with delicate white hands. busiiy
dresses down her nails with a manicure
file: and of the two others one sits with
hands clasped and the other lies on a cot,
her face buried in the blankets. The pris-
oners appear not 10 understand English at
all, and when they speak to one another
they use only monosyllables.
The muSmeeS are meek and modest In
appearance. but yesterday morning they
gave Jailer Burkman a surprise he will
never forget as long as he lives. He had
thought that his involuntary visitors from
lIle were III HeSu Oh dDullOnS, ana
he prepared bath for them. Then he
walked to the cells to tell them about II.
Unfortunately he cannot speak japanese,
except to say Ohio" and when he talks
he Is Obliged to use the sign language. He
confidently motioned to the group of five,
and then vigorously rubbed his hands up
and down his sides. The message was in
stantly understood, and the little japanese
girls were quick to act on the suggestion
Before the aston.shed jailer could turn
around, one of the girls was living pic
ture of Rousin's famous painting entitled
After the Bath" and the remaining four
were scarcely better attired than Adam
and Eve when they put on their dress
suits in the Garden of Eden.
The jailer was unmindful Of the delight
ful custom Of Japan. where these same
girls had been accustomed to assist their
brothers by pouring buckets of water over
them while bathing: and as he tells the
story himself. yelled his face behind the
steel bars Of the cells. There the captives
held him captive until they had sported in
the water to their hearts content.
The five little Yokohama girls seem to
have formed the idea that they have been
bought by the jailer, and that he is their
absolute owner. They obey him we'll al
though one of them when his back is turn
ed softly Knocks his hearty laughter.

1t is Queer and Ingenious and Not
Wholly FOrbidding.
From Lippincott's Magazine.
The curse of all hotel cooking in st.
Petersburg is boiled beef. There are other
dishes, of course. but the stomach weakens
at this point. In st. Petersburg it Is quite
possible to get boiled beef by ordering NUT
ton chops, and the head waiter will provide
q seasoning of argument. At one favorite
table d'hote breakfast, roast sucking pig,
stuffed with black buckwheat greats Is
served every other day, and one must go
early If he be attached to this hearty deli
cacy, 80 great Is the demand for 1t on the
part of the Russians, who are attracted
thither by it. But boiled beef is the Rus
sian 1t Is the German and Austrian pro-
teus. 1t appears on the bill Of fare under
different names at least three times every
day in the year. after already having done
yeoman service in the soup, with one onion
fried from early morn to dewy eve to make
a strong but thrifty flavoring. 1t scores at
least eleven hundred economical and intel
lectual triumphs for the Germans every
year. and the stomach, which cannot, like
the eyes, be defrauded by fancy titles, at
last fees, bowling. from the struggle with
slow nauseating starvation. But in Russia
the enemy is less fertile in stratagem. 1t
masquerades most frequently under the
name of Outlets" or ''bitki," with pre-
fix of distinguished name. preferably that
of slashing military man. as Is fitting.
Pozharsky outlets (Minin, the butcher COM
rade OF Prince Pozharsky, is most unjustly
forgotten). Skobeleff outlets, Dolgoruky cut
let's. and the whole race Of outlets and bitki,
may be safely avoided. But alas! the anx-
ious query as to any unfamiliar dish, 'Is
It chopped?' generally brings the answer
Yes" Then one knows that 1t will turn
out a hard dry ball of chopped boiled beef,
variously seasoned. and fried in grease, sun
flower seed oil being often used in Lent
and other fasts, for the souls sake, when
sinners will persist in eating meat

MORTON CADETS FIELD DAY.
Proposed Repetition of the Scene al
Savannah.

Proposed Repetition of the Scene at
Savannah.
The Morton Cadets have made arrange
ments for a field day, which will come of
Saturday afternoon. June 20, at the Interna-
air, and will be an exact reproduction Of
the drill through which they went while at
Savannah. Instead of having judges how
ever, 1t Is contemplated to have Secretary
of War Lamont, Maj. Gen. Miles and some
other high official OF the army, who will
constitute board Of review. There will be
a number of patronesses from among the
leading society people of the city. and in
order to make it as near like the Savannah
drill as possible there will be a number of
young ladies secured one of whom will act
as sponsor to the company, with the bal
ance as maids Of honor
In order to make the occasion more i'm
presslve. Capt. Shilling will correspond
with the adjutant general of Texas, and if
possible, will have the Galveston cup, the
trophy recently won at Savannah in the
city on that date and formally presented
to the company. After the drill of the Nor
tons a short intermission will be taken to
allow the company to change uniforms and
reappear on the field with company of
the Washington Light Infantry the Cor
coran Cadets and another company, to go
through the maneuverS of battalion drill
Inc music will be furnished by the Mount
Pleasant Field Band
In order to make the event as interestfnp
as possible. three bicycle races will be run
TO take part. The races will be a half mile
open, mile open and two-mile handicap
and a sanction for holding the same ha a
already been requested
