Record in New Mexico.

Record in New Mexico.
Denver. April S.-A special to the Re-
publican from Santa Fe n. NJ, says:
News has been received here that
George Smith. one of the most prominent
and popular stockmen in central New
Mexico was foully murdered at his
Horse Springs ranch, in Socorro county,
last Saturday night. AS far as can be
learned, two unknown men rode up to the
Smith ranch, about 20 miles from Mag
dalena. and were asked to stay and have
supper. This was about o'clock last
Saturday night. and after accepting the
hospitality of Mr.. Smith, and while all
were sitting around the table talking,
one of the men pulled his gun and put
FIVE bullets into the body of Smith, kill
ing him almost instantly. while the other
man shot the cook, Frank Melville, three
times. leaving the latter for dead also.
The assassins then rode away, and
Melville. who was seriously wounded,
managed to get to Baldwin's ranch,
nearby, where he gave the alarm. Mel
vile is still at Baldwin's. and it is feared
that his wounds will result fatally. Mel
vile states that there was no trouble of
any kind. The strangers he took for
cowboys. and says they commenced
shooting after finishing their supper 1t
is said that the murder is a result of a
long-existing feud between cattle raisers
of the American valley.

and many of them were injured but
none fatally. Mr.. Bryan was picked

given him this evening.

and was greeted at the station by sew
eral hundred people. AT $50 p. m. he
addressed fully 10000 people from the

of people f1ocked about him and it was

being an excellent accountant, prior TO
his advent into baseball, says New
York Clipper. He showed his ability
as baseball manager when ne TOOK
hold of the Cass team, OF Detroit, IN
the early eighties. In 1884 he became
associated with the old Detroit club,
Of the National League, acting as Sec
rotary, which position he filled with
great credit till the middle OF the sea-
son of 1888, when he was made man
ager of the team. AT the close OF thar
season the best players were sold 10
Boston and the club disbanded. In
1889 he managed the Detroit team OF
the International League, which won
the championship Of that organization
having a percentage Of .649, winning
seventy-two games and losing thirty
nine, which was very credltaDle
showing. He continued at the helm
of the Detroit team during the trouble
some times of 1899 until the club dis
banded early in the summer. In 1891
he took up residence at Cleveland
Ohio. and remained there until the
middle Of the season of 1892, when ne
returned to Detroit. For two years,
during 1893 and 1894, he was assist
ant cashier in the United States rev.
enue Office at Detroit. Early in 1895
he, with Bob Glenalvin and other par
ties, organized the Pacific Northwest
| League, he securing the franchise OF
| the Seattle club. The championship
began May and terminated on June
IA. This league started out with the
brightest prospects of successful
campaign, and did remarkably we'll
for several weeks. Then turn for
the bad came and matters became
worse instead of improving, until the
managers threw up their hands about
the middle of June After settling up
his affairs on the Pacific coast Mr..
Leadley returned east and secured a
lucrative position in his native city,
and 1t is believed that he still retains
| it, notwithstanding that he is the
owner Of the Grand Rapids club. Dur
| ing the past winter he and Bob Glen
alvin purchased the franchise of the
latter club from George Ellis, who also
owned the franchise of the Newark
club, in the Atlantic League. Glenal-
win managed and played second base
on the Grand Rapids team until few
| weeks ago, when Mr.. Leadley purchas-
ed his interest in the club and assum-
ed entire charge of its affairs. With
a good team he should meet with sue
cess in his venture, as he is thorough
| ly familiar with all branches of the
| game, and is very clever manager
and careful and shrewd financier.
