OTHER TRADES UNIONS,
Woodworkers Protest Against the
Preside Band-Labor Alliance
Active.

At the meeting of the Amalgamated
Woodworkers' Union last evening reso-
luton was passed condemning the mill
tary authorities for permitting the Pre-
sidio band to play on such occasions as
viii compete with musicians who earn a
living by their profession. This resolution
will be forwarded to the authorities at the
Preside and probably to the War Depart
ment at Washington.
The organizing committee and several
special committees of the Trades and
Labor Alliance are doing very active work
OF late. AT every meeting of the trades
unions committees are present to induce
the unions to send delegates to the ALI
ance. Las. night visits were made to the
Garment-workers and Poiishers and Var
nishers' unions. From their reception the
committees expect that their efforts were
not in vain. The alliance will meet to-
morrow evening at 1859 Mission street.

oThe CALI

George Atkinson, the young ecclesiasti-
cal student who left this City few weeks
ago IN mysterious way, has been heard
from at last. He is now in Forest Grove,
Or. and in letter to a friend here throws
some light on his peculiar action. From
his experiences, as told by himself, it
seems he must have been laboring under a
temporary alteration of mind. He writes:
FOREST GROVE, Or, May IA, 1896.
Dear Friend: Yours just received. Thanks
for your expressions of gladness that l am safe
and we'll. You ask about my experience and
how ii all was. l wish could tell you more
about ii. 1t all seemed SO natural as it went
along that never thought of anything being
unusual, and yet I cannot recall ell that
must have passed through.

The excitement over the leasing of the
Carrizo mountains for mining purposes
is increasing. 1t is just possible that
trouble may occur. 1t seems strange that
these few men could have gained permis-
sion to open the mines. What is the
reason? First has McCook practiced
deception in the matter, and is McCook
now probably in the syndicate? Is this
a mere bubble of syndicate of big men
who use congressional and governmental
!e63encs to start and rrn a ~ da mining
concern? Are these men taking adgan-
tage of the wonderful stories of these
hills spread abroad everywhere, of the
legends of the Navajos go well known,
to excite public Imagination and 80
secure big thing by selling stock in this
concern? We shall know more about this
soon, and it is matter that the public
should inform themselves upon.-San

silver tip bears in the Oscuros last week
He and j. E. Wharton met at the Ozanne
ranch and went to the adjacent noun

to frequent spring about three miles
distant where they found bear tracks

and it was not long until Bud downed a
young bear weighing about 300 pounds,
and few minutes later brought to bay
and finally killed another cub of about
so pounds.-White Oaks Eagle.

Lincoln County Murder.


A report was brought in Tuesday of the
killing of Benjamin Bragg, near Three
Rivers, about thirty-fve miles southwest
of here, by Mexicans. It is said that Mr..
Bragg was herdine some goats of his own
and sheep supposed to belong to Mr..
Dougherty in the vicinity. The Mexi-
cans claimed that the sheep had been
stolen from them and believing that Mr..
Bragg had taken them they killed him to
gain possession of their property. Depu-
ty Sheriff Tate left for the scene of the
murder at once on hearing the report.
From a party who passed Nogal yester.
day it Is learned that the constable of
shat precinct, Manuel Artiaga, with party
of seven others went to the Dougherty
goat ranch, where Mr.. Bragg and his son
were in charge, arriving early in the
morning. Young Bragg was in the goat
corral, and the party said they wanted
breakfast. On hearing this the father
called to the son to tell them to come to
the cabin and he would get them some
thing to eat. Bragg had slept outside
and several feet from the cabin and was
not out of bed when the party arrived.
The constable and posse went toward the
house, but not long after they turned
from the corral the son heard shot, and,
on looking in the direction of the house
saw his father fall between the bed and
the door. On the son approaching the
posse he was shot at, but ran away, thus
saving himself from the fate of his
father. Neither Mr.. Bragg nor his sor
was armed at the time. The Mexicans
drove off the sheep they claimed and
passed Jose Vegas place, this side of No
gal yesterday. Mr.. Bragg's remains wers
brought to that place later in the day fol-
| burial,

Hot Springs Sanitarium.

The Las Vegas hot springs are to be
made into health as we'll as pleasure
resort. The cooperation of some of the
most eminent physicians in the country
has been secured, says the Optic, and no
expense will be spared to make the
springs health and pleasure resort for
hundreds of people all the year round.
DR.. William Curtis Bailey, an eminent
eastern physician, will be the medical
superintendent, with hrs. Upton. Marion
and Atkins as associate counsellors and
operators. DR.. Bailey has an advisory
board of overy thirty physicians in the
large eastern cities, and his movements
will be governed by the entire board.
The springs will be kept free from pn-
tients who are in the second, or incura-
BILE, degree of tuberculosis, and the sani-
tary and health conditions will be made
perfect.
The hotel will be run, as heretofore,
with all the resort features, music, dane.
ing, etc. The Montezuma will open in
July.

On Wednesday the Wells Fargo Ex press
company began running fastexpress trains
from New York to Kansas City. Speak
ing of this enterprise the Kansas City
Star says: "The route will be over the
Erie from New York to Chicago and from
Chicago to Kansas City over the Santa Fe.
The train will leave New York at 8:45 p.
m. every day except Sunday, and will
arrive in Kansas City at 2:05 p. m. the
second day, making remarkable run
from New York west. The train from
Chicago will consist of three cars of moth
ing but Wells-Fargo q Go. express mat
ter, and some wonderful bursts of speed
are expected. For several years Wells
Fargo express has made Chicago the ter
minal of its fast special express trains,
but its large and increasing business
has necessitated an extension, and the
result is that Kansas City is now made
the terminal of its western express fast
trains"

When asked his opinion as to the pros
