The Ease against Lee and Gllllland,
at BNlsboro, charged with the murder
Of litt.e Henry Fountain, was finished
last Monday night. The evidence
against them was purely circumstan-
tial, but was a very good case OF cir
cumstautial evidence. The defence
had a large number of witnesses,
but after the case for the people was
put in the lawyers for defence con-
cluded to use that favorite New Mex.
lean stand by, an alibi. All but a few
Of the witnesses for the defense were
dismissed and the few left did such au
able bodied job OF t%estifying that
when the case IA given to the jury
1t brought in a verdict Of not guilty.
La former years the favUrite defense
in a murder case was self defence, but
since the men arrested for robbing the
train at STEMS Pass showed what d
good lot of alibi witnesses there were
in the country, and how hard they
could swear the alibi defense has
taken the place OF self defense SCHEMES
With a New Mexico jury 1T does not
seem to make much difference what
kind Of Il defense is put up, any excuse
for bringing in u verdict of not guilty
is gladly taken. Judge Parker held

the custody OF Sheriff Curry Of that

The Arizona g. New Mexico road
recently put in a supply of Gallup coal
aud it bids fair to burn up a good deal
Of the companY's property. The coal
Is being used in the locomotives, and
It is so light that great chunks Of
burning coal are thrown out Of the
stack. Among other fires that have
been caused by the sparks from the
engine within the past two weeks are
the following: Some hay on a car was
found to be on fire, and only by bard
work was the other freight on the car,
a lot Of merchandise consigned to
Duncan, saved. When the train
pulled into Duncan a coke car was
found to be on fire. Another day a
similar fire was found on a coke car
coming into Lordsburg. Several
bridges have been set on fire. About
100 cords of wood piled by the side Of
the road have been burned. Agent
Brown thinks the limit was reached

On Friday, June 2 Mr.. James Smith

called at the Headlight office to get
some cards printed describing one

fore had held W d robbed the store
of Mr.. Smith at isco. AS all signs
seemed to indicate that dug" had
come this way, at the request of Mr..

patch from a special officer from FRS
CO named Fletcher stating that some
where near the Arizona line In Grant
county he had come up on the festive
"Dug" and as he refused to surrender
Mr.. Fletcher had found 1t necessary
to perforate his anatomy with lead,
which he at once proceeded to do in
such an energetic fashion that now
poor "Dug' is no more. He died OF

GET TOGETHER.

Much interest is naturally taken by the
American people in the various rowing
contests among the crews of our several
universities. They represent the athletic
young manhood of the country, and the
desire is natural and universal to learn
which of the crews represents the perfec-
ton of skill and endurance in the great
rowing contests which prevail from time
to time.
There is one feature of such contests,
however, for which the American public
should have little of liberation. That is
the lack of unity and cooperation among
the colleges and universities of the coun-
try which attends the sport The public
ask naturally why were not all the uni
versity crews engaged In the contest
which came off at Poughkeepsie yester-
day? There is no sufficient or intelligent
answer that can be offered. The G b g
has felt called on more than once to adj
vert to the fact that all international
contests between the university oarsmen
of England and those of the United
States that have already been held or
are likely to be held In the immediate
future are entirely incomplete and in
sufficiently representative Of the prowess
of American college oarsmen
Yale and Harvard should have partici-
pated in yesterdays contest, just as the
other crews should participate In any
contest with British university oarsmen
that is gotten up in the character of an
international event.
The young men of our universities
should come together. No doubt the
men of the other universities are willing
to do so. Yale and Harvard have no right
to stand longer aloof. They have won no
such ascendancy in any direction as
would entitle them to assume any such
exclusive position. AS long as they con-
tinue to occupy 1t there never can be
such universal interest in university
rowing contests either between Yale and
as there would be If all were represented
Public opinion must count for something
in this matter. Without regard to where
the responsibility lies for the present di-
vision, it is one for which the people of
the United States should show no toler-
alton whatever

ALL IS. WE'LL,

The latest report Of Gen. Otis renders
the situation in the Philippines as clear
as mud. The one salient fact of the en-
tire business IS, Of course, that the
traitors of the United States who are not
willing to uphold the hand of Imperialism
are responsible for the state of things
which prevails. Accordingly there Is
little to be done but to denounce the
traitors still more vehemently But, as
we are informed by the authorities at
Washington. the situation as it exists is
eminently satisfactory. and, as the great
est confidence still prevails in Gen. OTIS
the need to send additional troops does
not seem quite plain, while the denuncia-
ton of the traitors is somewhat gratui-
tous.
Gen. Miles may say that the situation
is serious as loudly as he pleases. Nobody
heeds him. He is at best only the chief
commanding officer of the United States
army. Gen. King may regard the Fill
pinos as a very superior race, fully quail
fled for free civil government, whom it
will require 100000 men to subdue That
does not count. The situation is eminent
ly satisfactory. That is to say, we sup
pose, it is eminently satisfactory in all
respects, except for the reasonable utter
ances of the home allies Of Aguinaldo.
Even this little ripple may be allayed.
The traitors will doubtless now discon-
tinue all opposition, since they find them
selves entirely responsible for all the seri-
BUSINESS there Is in the situation
That final victory, which has now been
so long delayed thanks to the machina-
tions Of our own traitors, may at the
present rate of progress be expected to
take place some time along during the
progress of the next presidential cam
paign. Then there will be another re-
union of the Rough Riders, and that
doughty enemy of ignoble peace, Col
Roosevelt, will have won some new
laurels for himself on the stump on be-
half of his devoted friends, Alger and
Plat, and, incidentally, on behalf of Nc
Kinley and Hanna.
