A report was circulated yesterday in
Albuquerque and in this city, that some
evil had befallen Hon. Sol. Luna, indeed,
that he had been murdered. This re-
port caused great excitement among the
many friends of this popular gentleman.
However, it was found as absolutely un-
true and without foundation, as the fol-
lowing dispatch received this Afternoon
by Hon. M. R. Otero, fatherin-law of
Mr.. Luna, shows:

meeting with gratifying success. All
public spirited citizens seem glad to as

terprise, Time is very important in
this matter at this season and the COM
mttee is exceedingly anxious to bring
it to a conclusion today or tomorrow,
and as they are giving their time almost
wholly to the subject, it is to be hoped
that each citizen addressed will respond
with promptitude. OF course there is
the usual small proportion of those ap-
piled to who refuse to do anything for
the welfare of the city, although they
are gaining their living from its people,
but that class of men is, unfortunately,
to be found everywhere.
