Last Of the Hudgins Gang of Des-
peradoes Caught.

FL Psao, Texas, February b.--Excitement
at Las Cruces continues at a fever heat,
and the meagerest scrap Of intelligence is
eagerly caught up. The belief is now
general that Colonel Fountain and his
boy were taken prisoners. carried off TO
the Jarilla hills and executed by cattle
rustlers, whose lot has been made any
thing but happy by him in the prosecu-
dons OF cattle thieves during many
years.
Two parties returned from the noun
tains last night TO Las Cruces and
port that Afford Fountain. son Of the
missing man, left a note on the buck
board found in the hills stating the pur-
suers had followed the trail and found
a camp ton miles from where the buck
heard had been discovered and where
the captors and captured had evidently
stopped over night. The tracks of the
colonel and MS little boy were noticed,
also che tracks of three other men wear
ing high heeled boots. The tracks of
three horses were seen
Tho searchers left the camp yesterday
morning and are on the trail now One
OF the coloners horses has shown up at
Lunas Wells. The site of the camp
found IL nifty miles east OF Las Cruces.
Governor Thornton of New Mexico is
nov at Las Cruces and is doing every
thing in his power to unravel the mys-
terry. The mysterious disappearance OF
Colonel Fountains has created a big SON

cause general cleaning out of cattle
