INDIAN APPROPRIATION.
The senate and House Committees
reach An Agreem ent In the Matter
OfOpeniug the UncOmpahgre
Reservation.

Washington, May THE conference
committee Of the senate and house reached
an agreement on the Indian appropria-
tion bill to day.
The differences on the senate amend
ment, for opening the Uncompahgre reser-
walton, were reconciled on the basis OF q
provision for leasing the gilsonite lands,
instead of purchasing them. The COM
promise agreement authorizes any person
to take one claim on lease, and hold 1t
in perpetuity upon payment of royalty
of rs cents ton on all gilsonite mined.
There is, however, a provision against
trusts, inserted upon the motion Of Sena-
tor Pettigrew. This provision forfeits to
the government the claims of holders
who enter into combination to limit
the production or raise the price Of gill
sonite.

A MURDERoUS LODGER.
A Farmer, His Wife and Two Servants
Shot Down in Cold Blood by An En-
Employe, Who Had Been Given
a Nights Lodging.

Milwaukee, May 7.-Alexander Harris
farmer, living five mile south of Wau-
kesha, on the Mukwanago road, and his
wife, were murdered by tramp this
morning while at breakfast. The tramp
had been lodged for the night. The
hired man was wounded, but escaped.
The hired girl was also wounded and is
likely to die.
The crime was committed, it is sup
posed, by William Pouch, who worked for
Harris two years ago, and who last night,
at his own request, was given lodging.
About s O'Clock Harris and his hired man
went out to milk while Mrs. Harris and
the girl began preparing breakfast.
Pooch went to the yard where the two
men we're and baie them good morning,
then drew revolver and fired at the
farmer, killing him.
The murderer then shot the hired man,
inAicting probably fatal wound. The
terrible sight did not unnerye the mur-
derer, who then walked leisurely to the
kitchen, told Mrs. Harris and the hired
girl that Mr.. Harris would not be in for a
few minutes, and that he would like to
eat his breakfast at once. The women
waited upon the murderer who seemed
to relish his meal, after which, he shot
them both.
Mrs. Harris was killed instantly but the
girl may recover. The murderer then
mounted his bicycle and rode away. A
posse of farmers is in not pursuit. The
farmers are greatly enraged, and should
they get hold of the murderer he will
undoubtedly be lynched. The sup
position of the authorities is, that the
man is either insane, or that he committed
the murders in order to hide the evi
dence of another crime. Harris was
quite we'll to do. Pouch worked for him
in 1895, and nothing occurred as far as
known, to cause any enmity between
them. He is 90 years of age. The name
of the hired man is Nelson McHolt. He
is 25 years of age. The girl is Helen
Vesbach aged 26.
The latest reports from Mukwango
state that Mrs. Harris was not instantly
killed as at first stated and that she may
recover. There is little hope for Nelson
McHolt, the hired man, and Helen Yes
bach, the hired girl.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
The San Ildefonso Indians.

To the Editor of the New Mexican:
Espanola, N. M, May z, 1877 would
like to call your attention to the condi-
tion of your accomplishing neighbors,
the San Ildefonso Indians, once fairly
prosperous, but now reduced to starva-
tion, through circumstances over which
they seem to have no control.
For several years, more and more land
has been brought under cultivation above
the pueblo, on the Nambe and Tesuque,
and more and more water appropriated,
until now, but little or none, is allowed
to reach them during the dry season.
Last year, from lack of water, their
crops were an almost total failure. They
have neither wheat, corn nor fiocks, and l
understand upon good authority, they are
reduced to the necessity of catching
mountain rats and other vermin, and are
following the big herds of sheep and eat.
ing the dead lambs. They have ditch
started, taking water from the Rio
Grande. With this finished they would
have an abundance of water during the
whole season, and for all time. Their
wants are few. Furnished with -four and
meat, they should be able to complete
this ditch, with their own labor, before
the dry season, aud soon regain their old
time Indian prosperity. Yours truly,
jim CURRY.

Prepared to Paint the Town.

On Monday night about 8 O'Clock City
Marshal Fornoff was called upon by
Attorney Ad Wycoff and told that an
officer, if sent with the attorney, would
be put upon the track of some stolen
paint. Officers Young and Rossi were
detailed and we're led to spot in
the rear of 408 West Lead avenue,
where they dug up 10 cans of prepared
paint and two 100-pound kegs of white
lead. These premises are owned by Mrs.
Lockhart and have been occupied by A.
G. Emery. Mr.. Emery was seen by the
marshal and stated to him that the paint
had been taken by him, at Mrs. Lock
hart's direction, from the storeroom of
Sofre Alexander IN the old Armijo build
ing and placed where it was found. Mrs.
Lockhart was not seen in reference to the
matter, and as yet no steps have been
taken beyond those given above.--Albu.
querque Democrat.
Since then it is understood that war
rant had been issued for Mrs. Lockhart
and that the preliminary hearing took
place today before Justice of the Peace
Crawford,

year many thousands of cattle we're loaded
here and shipped, and the coming season
the shipments will be greater than for
years past. With mining on the increas e
again, the cattle and sheep and wool in
terests prospering, western Socorro coun-
