Sisneros and Gouna said that they were
standing In camp at about noon, n that
Reitz had been attending to his duties
about camp as usual. They saw him start
and run due east towards the river, and
while running threw off his coat and be-
gan slashing himself about the neck, and
that when within a short distance of the
river he fell. They ran to him but found
him unconscious and dying.
HOW oHNso VIEWS 1T.
j. A. johnson. Reitz' partner, is a close
observer, and while it was several days
after the murder when he arrived at the
scene, he saw enough to convince him that
there is considerable in the case that will
be brought out at the inquest, and more
that will follow as on as arrests are
made.
There were fourteen men in the employ
of Reitz,' said Mr.. johnson, sand their
sole duty was to look after the W c that
were lambing. Most of the lambs were too
weak to travel more thai 800 yards from
the corral, and if the men were attending
TO their duties properly, not more than
five, out of the fourteen, could nave been
farther than 200 or 800 yards from the
camp.
"The murder, or suicide, as they call it,
is said to ave taken place at about the
noon hour, and in this case, the men would
have been at the camp, or within q few
yards Of it, yet there are but two men who
claim to have seen Reitz at the time Of the
affair.""
II examined the ground carefully and
though the sheep hal PASSED over it SON
siderable since Reitz had b en- killed, at a
distance OF ITO yards from the water
trough l found the frs. blood. From this
here l found a pool of blood, and twenty
three yards on from this spot is the spot
where the body was found"
Mr.. johnson brought the clothing
worn by Reitz at the time of his
death, into Las Vegas. There is but
showing the improbability that Reitz had
cut his own throat. Had he cut through
the jugular vein with a knife held ia
his right hand, the blood would have
spurted out and covered his shirt sleeve,
but the strongest evidence against the
suicide theory is that it would be impos-
sible for a man while running, to infict
the wound that Reitz bad on the right side
of the neck with a knife as dull as the one
found near the body. The inquest will be
continued at Judge Wooster's office this
evening, and important facts are expected
to be brought out at this time.
Later: In order 70 accommodate some
of the witnesses from a distance, the jury
was called at $3.50 this afternoon and tie
inquest was continued within closed doors.

ABOUT QUEEN VICTORIA.
Three Stories That Are Interesting Con
 corning England's Sovereign.

Threc Stories That Are Interesting Con
 cerninG Engiand's Sovereign.
 For many year after her husbands death Queen Victoria would never con sent to be photographed, save in very lugubrious trim and with the prince consort's bust or portrait well in sight. Much livelicr now that she is much old CT, her majesty to-day sits for artists in grand array as well as everyday clothes, and some of her favorite jewels and laces have thus become well known to the public. The severely criticised or naments bedecking the sovercign's head and chest on the jut:ee coinage may be recognized as studies from actual jewels much beloved by her majesty. Sir Edgar Boehm had hard time of it with outsiders when those coins were first issued, but he was amply compep- sated by eulogiums faEing from royal and imperial lips upon the charming way he had rendered that favorite neck lace, broocsl and earrings.
 The queens money from the state is all paid up in advance to the 3lst of March next, and so are all the annui. ties that are granted to the prince of Wales and the other members of the royal family, and Coutts', the bankers, are the only persons who know how the royal accounts stand. The thirty-siX thousand pounds year allowed for the children of the prince of Wales remains at the same amount as it was before the death of the duke of Clarence, and this money will contiaue to be paid till six months after her majesty's demise.
 On each anniversary-or the annual celebration of the queens wedding t,.c beautiful painting of the marriage of her majesty is brought into the royal dining-room and decorated with white silk roscttes. In this painting the queens mother and the beautiful duch- css of Sutherland, mistress of the robes, show to great advantage. The curtann also appears near the queens left shoul. der, held at the "carry" by a state officer, (thc curtana or curtein is the pointlcss sword of King Edward the Confcssor, considered an emblematic sign ot mercy), and in the left hand background of the picture are two large burning tapers on the altar of the Chapel Royal, St. James, which were blown out by the archbishops of Can tcrbury and York immediately after the ceremony. These canGses are still preserved, and wiil not be lighted again until required for sacred ceremony, which, we trust, vii not take place un- til all the young society people of to- day are bald-headed and have to wear wigs.

TO PRESERVE BIG GAME.
Western Reserves for the Breeding of
 Buffalo, Elk, Etc.

Western Reserves Tor the Breeding or
 Buffalo, Elk, Etc.
 Most wild animals are much more To- cal in their habits than we imagine; that is, they become attached to some especial small range of country, to which they confine themselves at cer- tain seasons of the year, We see, says a writer in Harper's Weekly, the same thing in our domestic stock on the range. A bunch of horses will live for months in some little set of ravines, feeding over the same ground day in and day out, until some change in the weather causes them to move to another locality. The same is true of range cattle, though they wander more than horses, Though ali species of our western wild game wholly change their range in spring and autumn, yet, after they have settled down on their sum- mer or winter ranges, the area that they cover in their daily wandcrings is not extensive. At certain hours of the day they go to water; at particular time they will be found lying down, usually in the same place, or feeding in the same neighborhood. The hunter established in one locality, who is fairly observant, who has time to fla miliarize himself with particular range of country and its wild inhabit- ants, and who does not wantonly disturb them, will learn after a groups of the various species. On a horse ranch, where, in the past, have spent much time, l came to know eX- actly where to go if l wished to find two or three little companies of mule deer or of antelope, and at last believed that could recognize the different in dividuals of the various groups. In the same way I know certain valleys, plateaus, or ridges where can be quite sure of finding a little bunch of noun tain sheep, known to be the same by number and ages of its members. l have watched for several successive days the same family of white goats feeding on the mountain-sides above nay camps, and can go to certain rough slopes of slide rock and precipice where these animals are always to be found. That elk and moose have essentially the same habit 1 have no doubt, al- though have not been able to verify my belief by observation in the case of these species. The caribou is said to be more of a wanderer.
 In the National park there are be. lieved to be now about two thousand buffaloes, fifteen thousand to twenty thousand elk, five hundred antelope, and an unknown number of moose, deer, mountain-sheep, and bears. But there is no reason why there should not be many other such breeding-centers, where big game should be preserved and very greatly increase.
