ABEYTA MURDER TRIAL.
Fernando Nolan, Of Santa Fs. is In re.
ceipt Of an interesting letter from q friend
at Tierrn Amarillo concerning the trial OF
Agapito Abeyta for the murder OF the In
dian named Juan Antonio Rael. In More
county. The evidence OF the Territory was
all before the jury whom the letter was
written, and the attorneys for the defend
ant were vigorously at work in behalf Of
their client. The writer added that the
testimony seems directly to connect Abey-
ia v 18th the killing of Rael; that the jury
appears honest and Of good intelligence;
that a large colony of Mora people are at
tending the trial, including numerous re-
~lations and friends Of the accused; that,
In spite of the-dark. showing, public senti-
ment seems to be very pronounced in favor
OF Abeyta. chiefly on account Of the al
legged bad character of the witnesses for
the prosecution. .

Description of the BuiIding-News
of the Churches-services of the
Episcopal Congregations.
Work has begun on the Lawton Memo
rial. Ground was broken yesterday for
the foundation. The contract to build the
church was let to Peter Rabey. whose bid
of $4,000 was the lowest after the with
drawal Of the bid of GUIDE & Walker Of
Atlanta for $4,000. After submitting its
bid the firm discovered on an after
thought that Il had figured too low, and
decided not to take the contract. This de-
layed matters for about a month. II had
been expected that work would be com
menced 10y June / at the latest. but this
delay with others caused a disappoint-
ment to those interested in the work.
The plans for the building were drawn
by Mr.. Henry Urban. The contract calls
for the compIetion Of the church by May
