THE CLAYTON MURDER.
Juan Martinez is Arrested for the
Crime 20 Miles North of Clayton
and Makes Full Confession.

A dispatch from Clayton announces the
arrest of Juan Martinez 20 miles north of
that place, for implication in the murder
of two Cinnamon, which took place at
Clayton several days ago.
Soon after being locked up Martinez,
who is sheep herder by occupation,
made full confession of the crime, in
which he says that together with four
other Mexicans he entered the house of
the Cinnamon about midnight Upon
hearing a noise below one OF them came
down stairs, bringing gun. He was
struck by the leader of the Mexican gang,
Antonio Lenta, and fell to the floor. Len
ia then struck him several times with a
hatchet. BY this time the second China
man reached the bottom of the stairs.
Upon seeing the dead body of his com.
panlon he uttered cry and fell fainting
at the feet of the mob. Martinez then
drew his knife and cut him several times
about the throat. Lenta also struck him
with coupling pin, and it was ono of
these blows that caused death.
The gang then plundered the house, but
found only 30 cents, after which they
made hasty retreat.
Lenta is still at liberty, but Martinez
has told the officers where he can be
found, and he will be arrested as soon as
possible. The Jail where Martinez is
confined is closely guarded by ten armed
deputies. A lynching bee may follow the
capture of Lenta.

Mining and scientific Press Asked to
Correct a Published Error Relating

ganizatiOn.

In the last issue of the Mining ant
Scientific Press of San Francisco, there
appeared an item on the organization o!
the New Mexico Miners association, whicf
took place recently IN this city. In this
item it was stated that the object of the
organization "was to unite mine owners
and capitalists interested in New Mexico
against the Western Federation of miners
which has 30 long fourished at Leadyile,
Cripple Greek and other camps in Colo
rado."
| 1t is not known where this journal got
its information, but that part of the no.
tice relating to the object of the newly
organized association is an error and
does the promoters Of the organization
great injustice. To the end that cor
rection may be made the following com
munication has been addressed to Mr..
j. +. Halloran, manager of the Mining

Sioux City Journal:-The last report
of the Iowa weather and crop bureau in
regard to the loss to the farmers in
Iowa by reason of the swine plague or
"hog cholera" confirms the most distress
ing reports made before. Director Sage,
who is always safe and conservative in
estimates, placed the total loss in Iowa
at 100000, since which time reports
have been carefully collected from
nearly all tho counties, showing that
the estimate was not too high. The loss
to the feeders and farmers of Iowa last
year. according to the very latest esti
mate, was not less than S22.5OO.OOO.
The latest report from the counties in
dictate that the plague is not epidemic
and that it is not spreading. Its history
gives the hope that it has almost spent
Its force in Iowa, and that the farmers
will soon enter upon a period Of immu-
nifty from it for their herds. In the
meantime the United States department
Of agricultural is going ahead with in
vestigations and experiments to see
what can be done to check the great
drain on the earnings OF the farmers.
The field of experiments in Iowa IS in
Page county.
