The Mora County Murder.

To the Editor of The Optic.
HOLMAN, N. NJ, August 4th, 1885,
One OF the most %cowardly and cruel
murders in the history Of this county
was committed on the afternoon Of the
23th ult. about half way between Los
Vallesitos and Cleveland. A woman
by the name OF Maria Dolores Mon
togo started for the postofice at Cleve-
land, where she expected to get a let
ter from her husband, who is away
from home working, but she never
reached town. At place
called Los Ojitos she vas
met by brute named Jose de
Gracia Lucero, better known as "Chi-
no. who murdered the unfortunate
woman in the most horrible manner.
1t appears that he first knocked her in
sensible with a stout, oak stick, which
was found near the corpse, and then
crushed her head with a big rock,
breaking nearly every bone and crush
ing out her brains. Then he dragged
the body to a nearby ditch and threw
it in, placing a heavy rock on 1t to
weight it down.
When she failed to make her ap.
pearance at home, where she had left
her four little children one of them a
babe, a neighbor took care of them un-
til next morning, when he came to
town to find out what had detained
the mother, when he was informed that
she had not been seen in town at all.
when he couldn't find any trace of
her, her relatives became alarmed, and
a searching party was organized, and
the mulilated body was found as above
stated. The justice of the peace at
once summoned a coroner's jury, and
an investigation held, the principal
witness being a girl named Maria
Dolores Trujillo, who said she had
seen "Chino" coming from the direc-
ton in which the body was found, and
that when he had seen her, he had
stopped and tried TO hide himself
When this much was learned
"Chino" was at ono arrested
and brought before the justice of the
peace for a preliminary hearing. re-
splting in his being held to await the
action Of the grand jury, and was taken
to the county Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Frank Vigil. The brute finally broke
down and confessed and at the same
time duplicating another man, Miguel
Trujillo, who easily cleared himself
According to his confession, "Chino'
said that he and Miguel Trujillo had
planned to waylay the woman and rob
her, and that they had done SO, getting
$13, Trujillo getting the $lG and "Chi-
no" only got So, which shows that
he was lying, as the woman was posi-
lively known to have only a little ove
two dollars, and also proves that be,
alone, did the murder, as he spent
about that much IN a store at Mora,
This same "Chino," last year, at

not very far from where he murdered
this woman. but the glrl pulled out a

1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur In
this country and in the old world
within the next niue months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly
or indirectly. This nation is on the
eve of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition to the local or
county paper. a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice "A. Week
Republic, of ST. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and in each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties in

SERVING THE PARTY OR THEM
SELVES?


THE Optic claims, and justly, that
It is serving the republican party bet
ter by the stand 1t has taken on the
great questions Of the day, than 1t
would have done, had 1t thrown its
principles NV AZ and fully endorsed the
gold plank In the republican platform.
A paper that does this, loses Its infu-
ence and the respect Of tho people,
and a man that does this, is either a
party slave, a federal office seeker or
without mind enough to have a de-
cided opinion OF his own.
There IS not a man In this Territory,
who il he is honest, will but admit that
the republican party can not be success
full in New Mexico this year II it comes
out squarely and endorses the St. Louis
platform. On the other hand 1t Is con-
ceded that II the party endorses the
Territorial platform Of two years
ago maintaining its principles
Of protection and the free coinage OF
silver, and places IN nomination for
delegate to congress a man who repre-
sents these two great principles, the
Territory will then remain with the
republican party.
Who then are the real friends OF the
party in New Mexicop The men who
would stand by and see the party GO
down, and probably disintegrate, fol
the sake Of currying favor with the
next republican administration, or the
men who stand out boldly for their
principles and for keeping the party
together and in power in their own
Territory The question is not diff
cult to answer. The man who helped
frame the republican platform in New
Mexico two years ago, and theu
fastened to put himself In line with the
gold plank of the St. Louis platform,
must certainly be serving his country
for s'revenue only" Such men should
not be allowed to lead the New Mexico
republicans.

Ayers Sarsaparllla enjoys the ex
tr~aordinary distinction of having been
the only blood purifier allowed an ex-
hiblt at the Worlds fair, Chicago.
Manufacturers OF other Sarsaparillas
sought by every means to obtain a
showing Of their goods, but they were
all turned away under the application
of the rule forbidding the entry of
patent medicines and nostrums. The
decision OF the Worlds fair authorities
in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was in
effect as follows: "Ayer's S%arsaparilla
is not a patent medicine. It does not
belong to the list of nostrums. 1t is

From the Lordsburg Liberal.
Some time ago the. Liberal asked II
the republican Territorial convention
would endorse the St. Louis platform.
The Albuquerque Citizen says that il 1t
does not it will not be a republican
convention. The Las Vegas OPTIc
says that it is safe to conclude that it
will not endorse the gold bug section
of the platform, and that it will be a
republican convention. 1t is a safe bet
that If a gold platform is adopted that
the candidate of the convention will be
defeated by 10, 1000 majority.
