The Fruitful San Juan.
From the New Mexican.

FROM Lne new mexican.
News is at hand from D. & G. head.
quarters which will cause the people OF
fruitful San Juan county to rejoice. At
last they are to have a railroad. The
d. g. r. G.. officials have organized a
sub corporation to build a branch line
from Durango south along the Animas
valley to Pennington, a distance of
about fifty miles. 1t is to be known as
the Rio Grande-D Durango Southwestern
railroad. The road is to be finished In
time to move the farm and orchard
products of San Juan county next fall.
This is most gratifying news.
That portion Of New Mexico covered
by San Juan county has no superior in
the Rocky mountain region Of the west.
1t is not only a superb farming and
fruit growing region, but has coal, gold
and other mineral that only
need a railway outlet to make them
immensely profitable. The people Of
the San Juan are a thrifty, progressive,
enterprising class. They have waited
long and patiently for this opportunity.

An Instance of Fiendishness in Tor
turing q Prisoner.

From the Popular Science News.
Col. r. 1. Dodge was for many
years engaged in operations against
the hostile tribes of the plains. He
bad abundant opportunity Il study To-
dian manners, especially those relating
to war. In his book he speaks OF
many acts of ingenious cruelty prac.
ticed by the Apaches, Sioux and
Comanches, showing to what depth
Of degradation savages may fall.
"Of all the horrible stories which ]
have heard of Indian cruelty, one told
me by my old Espinosa CHS guide) is
the most vivid in Its CHASTITY horror.
"When he was about "a years cid, a
party Of Comanches from the same
camp in which he lived, while on a raid
into Mexico, attacked a large ranch,
= Taking with them as prison
ers the n man who had signalized
himself in the defense of the ranch, the
indians departed for their own coun-
try. On the long march, the prisoner,
though closely watched and guarded
by day, and securely bound at nigh,
was treated with extreme kindness.
They complimented his courage in the
highest terms, told him they intended
taking him to their camp, adopting him
into their tribe, and making a great
chief of him. The trail follower
after leaving the head of I Q
Nueces r.ver, crossed the southern end
Of the high t%able-land, known TO the
whites as sStaked Plains At water
hole, on this table-land, the party
halted for several days. Telling the
prisoner they wanted it for some re-
ligious ceremony, they set him to dig
ging a hole in the ground. Working
with knife and hands, he, in a day or
two completed a pit about three feet In
diameter and over five feet deep.
Early the next morning a rope was
died about the ankles Of the captive
and wound spirally round his legs and
body to the neck, binding his arms
lightly to his sides. Rigid and i'm
o-rble. The nan was then planted
upright like a post in the hole, the dirt
filed ia and tightly rammed down
around him. When all was COM
pleted, nothing but his head was Wis
ible. They then scalped his head, cut
off his lips, eyelids, ears and then
danced around, Knocked, tainted and
left him.
ssOn their arrival at the camp, the
party described in detail their punish
ment of the Mexican, and In ali the
tribe 1t was regarded as an exquisite
piece of pleasantly. The man would
live. they SAID, eight days, revived at
night by the cold of the high plains, to
be driven mad the next day BY the hot
sun beating on his scalped head and
defenseless eyebalIs, etc.,
That humen beings can practice such
cruelty seems incredstle.

The assassination of the shah Of
Persia presents a striking illustration
of the uncertainty of life. He was q
man whose rule was despotic, sur
rounded by every safeguard that he
could ask, hidden away in the inner
sanctuary of a shrine where he had
come to worship, and yet killed by IN
assassin's bullet. 1t can hardly fail to
have a Encouraging effect on the per-
Torrance of religious duties by orr.
entail monarchs.

To the Editor of the Optic:
RocIADA, N. NJ, May 4th, 1885,
Planting is about done and wheat and
oa's are getting a fair start, but moist
ure would help very materially. A
heavy acreage in wheat was put in
this spring on account OF the depre-
ciated price of oats. It's mistake, l
think.
F. F. Zummack has rented John
Pendaries' lower ranch for the season.
He promises that some of his Iowa
folks will come out this summer and
settle in the vicinity. Elk.
