The Button Gang.

1t has been broadly limited that Mr..
Catron has much more cogent reason
for bis activity in behalf of the assassins
at Santa Fe now under sentence of death
that the mere matter of manufacturing
political capital. 1t is alleged that the
condemned men "could tale unfold"
which would be not less narrowing to GER
tain public men than the secret possessed
by Hamlet's ghost, and not materially diff
ferent from that in it's principal feat
ures, and it is further said that
if certain promise alleged to have been
made to these men, to shield them from
the legitimate consequences of their
crime, be not made good very soon, they
will proceed to unfold"
1t is believed by good many persons
that full confession by the Borreges, at
that time, would have very damaging
effect upon the Republican campaign in
New Mexico and that the present great
effort in behalf of the criminals is i'm
PEELED by a desire to prevent the con.
fession rather than the hanging.-Albu-
querque Democrat.

victiOn of BOnifaciO Barron.

Col. Geo. w. Knaebel returned from
attendance upon the district court at
Taos on the D. & r. G.. special yesterday

large quantity of new and important
criminal business brought in by the
grand jury, the term is likely to last
most of this month.

county, was convicted of embezzling
1851. 20 of county funds, but, pending
a motion for new trial and arrest OF

The Biggest Hog Known.


There is a hog on exhibition at
Kaufman, Tex, according to the
National Provision er, which is, per-
haps the largest living hog in the
known world, 1t will be four years
old this month, and was raised al
Robertson county, Tex, by a Mr..
Briggs. When he sold the bog, six
months ago, it weighed 1 ,430 pounds.
This hog is 8 IT. 3 inches long, It:
1 inch high, me asures 6 feet around
the body and % inches around the
forearm.
His feet are as large as those Of g
common OK. and the leg-bone larger
than that Of the largest steers. He
is Poland China and Red jersey. de
eats corn like an OK, takes the whole
ear in his month at once and eats the
cob as we'll az the corn, eati Dg from
40 to so ears of corn at time. There
seems to be no surplus flesh on him,
and physicians who have examined
the hog say he can easily be ma de 70
reach 2 200 pounds.
The present owner paid $3.50 fol-
the hog, and has been offered 81 800
for him. He has fire policy on the
animal for So, 900. No other hog,
it is said, ever reached such tremen-
dous proportions.
