BOUND OYER TO The GRAND JURY.
Constable and Deputies Attempt to Collect
a License Fee for Giving a Wedding
Party-The Result,

On the night of January % a shooting
scrape occurred at Limitar, in Socoffo
county, which resulted in two men car-
rying off wounds OF more or less sever
ity, although not fatal. The prelimln-
airy hearing of the matter was held IN
the town OF Socorro, on Wednesday last,
and a ludicrous situation was brought
out.
1t appears that ON the night men
toned. Mr.. MaximilianO Baca gave a
party in honor of the marriage OF his
daughter, at which dancing was the or
der of the evening. The constable of
the precinct made up his mind that in
order that the affair should have the
sanction of the law it was necessary for
the host to have a license from the justice
of the peace, costing the enormous sum of
so cents. Feeling that it was his duty to
uphold the dignity of the territory he
went to the scene of festivities and de-
manded to see the papers granting the
privilege for so much hilarity. On be-
ing informed that no license had been
secured from the proper authorities he
| repaired to the home of a neighbor and
swore in two deputies in the name OF
the territory of New Mexico for the pur-
pose of inforcing the payment OF the
| 5O-cent license. Aiming himself with a
Winchester and placing his force under
marching orders, an attack was made
upon the dancing party.
The result of the skirmish was hardly
up to his expectations. On his appear
ance on the field of battle he attempted
to inforce the demand that the license fee
be paid instanter or the party ''douse
the glim and go home" Those present
did not seem to know exactly what did
happen, but when the smoke Of battle
cleared away Constable Luna was shot
through the arm and his head was
badly cracked from the force of a blow
over the head with a s~iX-sho0ter; the
valiant deputies had disappeared from
the bloody scene, while Host Baca had {
hole through his chin and things were
demoralized generally.
At the hearing, on Wednesday last
there was a CHASTITY display of wounds
and cuts. while the witnesses swOrt
that Luna, after shooting Mr.. Baca
shot himself. Luna wasnot quite clea,
in his mind about the shooting, bu
he knew mighty well he never hi
himself over the head that cracl
with a gun. The justice heard TIN
evidence presented and decided TIN
case was one for a higher court to dea
with, binding Luna over to the actor
of the grand jury in IS 5000, and the I'm
fortunate deputies, who were presen
at the entertainment much against thei
will, in the sum of 81, 900 each. AS bonds n
those sums are not very easily filed, TIN
three peace officers are in jail to refiec
upon the obstinacy of people in refusing
to pay SO cents for the privileges of Civ
ing wedding parties.
1t Is safe to say that the license ide
has been scorched in Socorro county b
this little incident.

FROM SANTA PE TO WHITE OAKS.
Information About the Route by Mr., Bre-
WORT, Who Surveyed the First
Road in 1854,
To the Editor of the New Mexican

" liz AZ "a
Santa Fe. Feb. 1S.-Referring to an
editorial in your issue of the 18th inst.
under head of From Santa Fee to White
Oaks in connection with the ID. y X.
r. railroad, l beg to add further infor-
nation regarding distance. etc. The
distance on an air line is about 1856
miles, adding 10 per cent for crooks and
turns wei the route the distance would
not exceed oven $50 miles instead OF 200
| miles as stated in the editorial.
The route is largely over open
plains especially after passing Cerrillos
and leaving the Ortiz Mine grant to the
west. via Laguna Colorado, the Salt
lakes and to the eastern slope OF the
| G~allinas mountain, thence through the
| Jicarilla hills and gold placers OF the
| same name to White Oaks. Apart from
| the numerous springs along this route,
water can be obtained almost anywhere
on the mesa plains between the Ortiz
| Mine grant and Gallinas mountain in
Guiding timber for ties and building ma
terial. with water at different points
along the balance of the route.
There are three exceptionally i'm
portant points to consider, which Woule
| Weld a large revenue to the railroad
over this route, viz:
First, The immense deposit of salt a
the Salt lakes which would undoubtedl.
be utilized as it would attract capital a!
soon as railroad facilities were securet
for refining the salt. There is evidently {
sufficient deposit to supply New Mexico
Arizona. Colorado, Texas and Old Mex
leo for all time,
Second, The Jicarilla gold placers il
extent about SX10 miles, together will
other minerals in that section. woult
also attract attention and bring capita
for development.
Third, The large area of the coal Held
at and in the vicinity of the terminu
would alone Justify the building OF sucl
road, in connection with the general re
sources of that section of country.
Then again. by the building of the d.
r. G. railroad to White Oaks. it is presum
able it would stimulate capital and tn
building of a road from White Oaks
Roswell. a distance of only about Z
miles on an air line, which connectio
would be of vital Importance not only t
New Mexico, but also to Arizona an
Texas. securing to such railroads an in
mense traffic. Concluding, | would stat
| am perfectly familiar with the cntir
. country and route in question, as | di'
covered and opened the first wagon roa
over the route in the summer of "a, az
companied by an escort of rs "

dams of those days, who were CONSTANT
depredating in all directions and With

The Peace Commission in Paris
continues to furnish material that
is far from peaceful. Spain dies
hard. Her Commissioners seem
to be hoping against fate, that by
some means or other, there will
be a decree of Providence to assist
them in resisting the American
demand for the Philippines. The
sessions of the Commission have
become a talking and a waiting
match. When Mckinley thinks
the Spanish have had sufficient
time to digest American requests,
very positive and upquestionable
demands will be made. Then it
will be case of return to the
fight or give in, and Spain being
the defeated one will have to
give in.

WAR CLOUDS,

War clouds continue to have a
prominent place in European con-
versatiou, yet 80 far as France is
concerned the Fashoda affair
seems to have fiatted out. The
French are Inclined to tell Great
Britain to take the place and say
no more. Activities in British
army and navy circles are of
course made with purpose in
view. Great Britain has AWAY of
cooking and printing her guns at
just the right time and letting the
fact be generally known. The
diplomats are always conversant
with the British excellent pre-
paredness for fight, but it often
requires visible activities to thor
oughly demonstrate the fact to the
people at large. When the PEG
pie become impressed with the
sort of material they will run
against in event of war, it is al,
WAYS easier for the diplomats to
work out common sense national
ga alton.

more than ripple in information.

chances are that while the
Fsshoda incident is taken as
a pretext for British activity,
the Russians in the Orient are the
ones on whom British diplomats
have a thoughtful and watchful
eye. The positive talk to France
is made sufficiently loud for Rus
STA to hear the echoes. The pro-
liabilities of actual war are very
small unless some unforeseen in
cident arises to force the hands of
the big fighters.
