The SCI par POstOf!ice Piliagers Located
in the Mountains Below Lords
burg-StrOngly Entrenched

Some weeks ago the postoffice at Separ,
Grant county, was robbed by party of
desperadoes. Ever since U. 8. Marshal
Halls deputies have been on the alert for
them. Ten day ago their trail was dis
covered and Deputy H. W. Loomis was
sent down to work up the case.
Yesterday Mr.. Hall received telegram
announcing that the robbers, nine in
number, had been trailed to their strong
hold in the mountains, fifty miles south
west from Lordsburg. The telegram
stated that the robbers were encam ped
behind breast-works of formidable ma
ture and had stood off the deputies SO sue
cessfully that considerable force of men
would be necessary to dislodge them;
also that they seem to be abundantly sup
piled with arms and ammunition and pre-
pared to make fight to the death.
Marshal Hall Immediately communi-
Gated the facts to Washington and re-
ceived authority to 60 in person after the
robbers, and, if need be, to call on the
United States troops at Fort Bayard for
assistance. The marshal left here last
night for Lordsburg, carrying with him
an ample supply of Wholesalers, small
arms and cartridges. At Lordsburg he
will meet Deputy LOOMS and an effort
will be made to surround the robbers
camp and capture the whole gang.

DE Thomas History Of New Mexico.

DE Thomas History Of New Mexico.
A new addition to current literature is
the History of New Mexico by Mr.. Fran
cisco de Thoma, of Santa Fe. Mr.. de
Thoma has been at work on his book for
several months, and the same has just
been published, in Spanish, by the Amer
lean Book company, of Chicago, on
highly calendered paper, in good type
and handsomely bound in cloth. A work
of this nature involves considerable study
and research, but Mr.. Thoma has succeed
ed admirably in placing before the public
a book whose chronological order of facts
and events is admirably arranged, and he
deserves no little credit for the scholarly
manner in which they are presented. It
contains, portrayed with vividness, the
exploits of the early explorers of New
Mexico and the efforts of the Spaniards
to pacify and Christianize the sedentary
tribes of New Mexico. That part relating
to the rebellion of the Indians and ex-
pulsion of the Spaniards abounds in the
thrilling episodes which endangered
Spanish domination in New Mexico. 1t
will be valuable book in the home
library as we'll as in the school room. We
congratulate Mr.. Thoma, and predict that
his work will meet with Unprecedented
success.

Hobart MS weather Regulator

D. @. Hobart, the Grant county weather
clerk, was in the city Monday on an in
spectlon trip. Mr.. Hobart points with
pride to the fact that under his manage
ment Grant county has had more and
better rains than ever before in its his
tory. And this has been done without
causing serious washout. The rail.
roads appreciate that Mr.. Hobarts man
agement of the weather has prevented
washouts, and as token of that appre-
citation have presented him with annual
passes. Mr.. Hobart claims that the
heavy freeze last spring, which ruined the
fruit in the county, was due to the care
lessness of H. H. Belts, who was in
charge of the Office while he was at Santa
Fe. He says nothing of the kind will
ever happen again, as Belts is not al
lowed inside the Office any more. Mr..
Hobart made this trip to ascertain lust
the kind of weather the people here
wanted. He is figuring on running his
Office so to the satisfaction of the people
that there will be universal demand for
his reappointment, no matter whether
Mckinley or Bryan is elected.-Lords-
