be an extinct volcano, situated about
twelve miles from the town of Sal

The statement has been published

advised Stewart that there was no law
in New Mexico that would enable him
or the authorities to stop the fight and
substantially informed Stewart that the
fight might go on although he could

gamblers last night. The former went
down to Billy O'NeRs saloon on West
Second South to obtain evidence against
the place for selling drinks to minors
The officer stationed himself in the
alley and through a convenient peep
hole in the window watched proceed
ings on the inside. He remained there
but few moments when he was dis
covered that he was spotted by the
doorkeeper, J. w. Savage The latter
ran to the front of the saloon and nOt1-
fed the bartender of the officers pres
ence and thereupon started toward the
rear of the place to notify a party in
the back room who were enjoying a
quiet game of draw. But the officer
was equal to the occasion and started
in pursuit. intercepting Savage just as
he was about to unlock the door to
where the game was in progress.
