Las CRUCES, N. M, March 9th, 1895 =
The hair from the horse which came into
San Nicholas springs, covered with blood,
has been shaved of and sent to Santa Ne
to the governor, who Will have the same
carefully analysed, to determine II II is
human blood.
This being determined in the Affirmative,
It will settle the fact that Colonel A. J.
Fountains body was taken on this horse
Ia q northerly direction from the place on
the public road where he was captured
and most likely into the white sands.
Pat r. Garrett and party have been
gone for the past FIVE days and NO tidings
from him. ~
The cattle thieves are particularly active
and are doing a good deal Of night riding.
Just why Sheriff Ascarats does not
bring In Bill McNew and young Gillian,
is not known. He has had the warrants
for the past three weeks, Governor Thorn
ton having honored the requisition from
the governor Of Texas, soon after tho
Fountain murder, and the sheriff OF 81
Paso having turned said warrants over TO
Ascarate. 1t ia not at all probable that
these cattle thieves, who are members OF
the gang which were being prosecuted by
| Colonel Fountain on behalf Of the North
west Iexas Cattle Association, as we'll as
tho Southeastern New Mexico Cattle AS
ISOLATION, will give themselves up now, as 1t
r. ,uall knouu that the dav for bonds for
cattle thieves and murderers Is a thing OF
the past in FL Paso, Texas.
The people here have the utmost conf
dence In Governor Thornton, and all law
abiding citizens should uphold and con-
tinue to strengthen his hands in his efforts
to enforce the law.
The past week has been a hard time for
searching parties on account of the con
tinued sand storms.

Mr.. Rapp's bill, amounting to $500, was
