Informed that Col. Kilburn has decided

OF circumstances caused this change
OF ambition. The first was the mnr.
der Of a Chinaman in the marshal's
back yard, and his utter inability TO
do enough detective work to discover
the murderer. At first he thought
this would not count much against
him, as many sheriTs have failed to
discover murderers, as for instance,
the sheriff of Dona Ana county has
not discovered the murderer OF Col.
Fountain, at least the jury says he
has not, although be claims he has,
and he is reelected every time the
two years come around. After this
murder had passed from excitement

The Mexican who fell Off the wagon
and was hit by one of Armour's empty
meat boxes, which broke his leg, as
was narrated in the last LIBERAL, was
attended to by DR.. Croker, who set
the leg and fixed it Grmly with a
splint. The next day the doctor went
down to see his patient, who COM
planned because he could not move his
wounded leg freely in his bed. The
doctor tried to explain that this was
one OF the troubles incident to a
broken leg, and that the patient would
have tostand the aGlictlon. The next
day when he went down be found the
spllnt standing in the corner OF the
room and the patient able to move
around in the bed to suit himself, al
though he was suffering some discon'
fort from the broken bones IN his leg.
The doctor again set the leg and ap.
Piled the splint, but whether he will
be able to keep it on the mar Ions
enough for him to get well is quite
uncertain.
