SHOT IN THE BACK.
COwardly Murder Near Wagon Mound
"A Reward Of $500 Offered for the
Arrest Of the Murderer.

The killing of Onesimo Mares whose
body was found yesterday morning near
Wagon Mound, seems to have been a
cowardly murder. About ten days ago
Mares had bitter quarrel with man
whose name has not yet been learned.
and the latter threatened to kill Mares.
The man is missing, and there is hardly a
doubt that he committed the crime.
When Mares body was found on the
prairie there were two bullet holes in the
back, and the throat was cut from ear to
ear. Mares horse was also found nearby
with the head severed from the body.
G. W. Bond and Bro, for whom Mares
worked, have offered reward of $500 for
the capture of the murderer Blood
hounds have been sent for to assist IN
following the trail, but without much
hope of success. as the crime was prob.
ably committed last Friday, and the trail
has become cold.
The man Fernando Lobato, who ls now
in Jail at Springer as suspect, may
have been connected with the killing but
the suspicion is very vague.

property sold and the proceeds divided.

of all the professions; lawyers, doctors,

good enough to come in body In the
evening, accompanied by their clerk.
Nor were the military, always favorite
element in Santa Fe society, unrepre-
sented. Fruits, flowers and cake were
sent in in such abundance that much had
to be given away to save them. 1t was
an occasion so spontaneous and delight

cultural fair at Santa Fe seems to be
bearing fruit. He has received the fol-
lowing letter from Hon. j. W. Gleed, gen
eral attorney in Kansas of the st. Louis
& San Francisco railway, which speaks
for itself:
Topeka, Sept. 8, 1877 have read

of orchards. II came to me in the nick
of time. My pear orchard, which con-
sists of one tree, in my back yard, was
slowly dying, and have wrapped your

coal tar which am Satisfied will preserve
the orchard and set it to bearing. Yours
truly, j. W. GLEED.

copy of the address on the tree? If not
I will be obliged to you to send me an,
other. Yours truly, j. W. g.
