The Passing of New Mexico Outlaws

While in Santa Fe yesterday, Lieu
tenant Ballard, of Roswell, deputy
sheriff of Chaves county, received his
proportion of the reward offered by the
territory for the killing of Robert
Hayes. Hayes was a member of the
notorious Black Jack gang of outlaws
and helped hold up the stage carrying
the United States mail between White
Oaks and San Antonio. The stage was
robbed twice, on October 7 and %, 1896,
and the government and the territory
offered rewards for the men who COM
mitted the robbery, either dead or alive.
Lieutenant Ballard killed Hayes a few
months later and received the reward
offered by the government, and the ter
ritorial reward was paid him yesterday.
The Black Jack gang has been almost
exterminated during the past two years
by the officers of the government and
the territory, and will cause no more
trouble, as the surviving members have
recent robberies committed along the
line of the Santa Fe-Pacific and the
Southern Pacific have been the work of
ex-cowboys, who know the country
thoroughly and are able to cover up
their trail after each hold-up in an exas-
perating n But the officers are
in possession of information which will
result, sooner or later, in the capture of
the entire membership of the outfit
which has been giving trouble the past
year..

Word has reached this city from Chi

man of about as years, well known here

SWORDS FOR OFFICERS.
Lieutenants Otero and Catron Presented
With Them Very Pleasant
0ccasion.
Lexington Sunday Leader

Lexington SUNDAY
There was a pleasant gathering of
friends at the headquarters of COM
pany G, 1st territorial regiment, last
night, the occasion being a presenta-
ton of swords as re~membrances to the
%lieutenants of the company. Lieuten-
ants Catron and Otero We're the recip-
tents and were beyond doubt the hap
piest men in the camp last night.
The affair had been quietly arranged
and at about 7 o'clock last night the
word was passed and joined by a de-
tachment Of the 18th New York the en-
tire company marched to the tent of
the l~ieutenants, and there, in a few
well chosen words, Corporal Manning
offered the following communication to
Lieutenant Catron as a token of their
esteem:
Lieutenant j. w. Catron.
Dear sir-Company G, LIST territorial,
desires to express it's thanks for your
splendid efforts in it's behalf during its
previous time of service. We have
been informed that you have been ia
vorably considered for a promotion,
which would place you in another com
pany. While we take pride in the
knowledge hat your superior military
capacity and qualities of nobility have
met with distinctive recognition, we
beg of 0 not to accept of such promo
ton, but instead use your endeavor to
remain with this company.
We desire you to accept this commu-
nication as a testimonial of esteem,
respect and confidence. No other Off
Ger can usurp your place in the hearts
of the members of company G, and We
do not desire your official position
transferred to another unless it will
give you promotion in this company.
We realize that it was mainly through
your efforts that the company has at
tanned the high degree of efficiency in
military drill evolutions. and we deep
ly appreciate the sterling qualities
which have prompted o to always
maintain a humane and gentlemanly
bearing toward us.
While our request may seem like en-
c%ouraging you to retard your career,
our apparent selfishness is pardonable
because of our profound regard for you.
In war or peace, military or civil life,
the boys of company G are your most
earnest supporters and trusty friends.
This communication was signed by ev-
cry member of the company and when
the reading vas concluded, the popular
young lieutenant a so overcome that
he could not respond for several min
utes, but finally recovered sufficiently
to thank them all from the bottom of
his heart.
Lunch was Their served and until bu-
gle call all enjoyed themselves i'm
mensely.

The vote of Valencia county, accord
ing to the official returns, which We're
canvassed yesterday at Los Lunas, was
1859, of which number Mr.. Ferguson
received the magnificent total of As and
Mr.. Perea the modest total of 1,6S9, Civ

tive assembly, and Captain Max Luna,

Rio Arriba county, as telegraphed to
the New Mexican from TERRA Amarillo,

COS. The Republican county and legis-
lative tickets in>that county are elected
by from 700 to 1000 majority, as Coun-
cilman-elect 7. d. Burns telegraphed
the New Mexican: I'VE couldn't help
it, voters would have their own way
about it,"
The official count held on yesterday
for the county of ColfaX cuts Mr.. Fer
gusson's majority in that county down
to 400. Considering that Mr.. Ferguson
on the Saturday evening before cleo
ton, expected to receive 1000 majority
in the territory, Colfax county did not
do so badly, although the northern part
of the county did not come up to the
expectations entertained by the Re-
publicans.
The only county in the territory
where Mr.. Ferguson made gains over
his vote of two years ago, was Berna-
lilo, where 1850 votes were cast for
Mr.. Perea and 2,114 for MIR. Ferguson,
giving a majority for Mr.. Perea of 436.
The county gave Mr.. Catron $50 major

ceived very good majorities.
All the precincts in Taos county have
been heard from officially and the vote
was ~canvassed yesterday for that town.
Lack of time has prevented the New
Mexican from getting the official fig
ures, but from unofficial. figures it APP
pears that Mr.. Perea has 81 majority in
that county.

sion of the 33d assembly. Colonel
