Conchas and Cabra springs. They we're
wrapped in their blankets, and their heads
had been crushed in with an AK or other
blunt iron instrument. Their wagons

The inquest in the Reitz murder case
was in progress egain this morning. L.
@. Fort was conducting the examination.
Prof. Sodrlng was acting as interpreter,
and his services we're very satisfactory in
this capacity. Andres Fuana and Zenon
Sisneros we're on the witness stand this
morning. The former is one of the men
who claims to have seen Reitz take hia
own life. The Optic was unable to get
the particulars of any of the evidence
but it is not improbable that woman
will figure in the case to some extent.-

for, but had thought they we're part Of
some prospector's assay outfit. In default
of bail Peel was committed to Jail tc
