from the chalk hill where it abruptly
turned off to the east through brush
and sand hills. The carrier on arriv-
ing at Las Cruces on Feb. End reported
what he had seen and his fears on
learning that Fountain had not re-
turned. That same evening Albert ].
Fountain, Jr., accompanied by other
parties left Las Cruces in search of his
father and little brother.
From the Information he had receiv-
ed from the stage driver, he went di-
rectly to the spot where the buggy
tracks had left the road and followed
it for distance of about ten miles,
where he found the buggy and part
of the harness. There was missing
from the buggy, Col. Foun tain's bed
ding, his gun, stake rope, pole straps
from the harness, and one bride. In
the buggy was found Fountains valise

The ancients believed that rheuma-
tism was the work of q demon within q
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism
will agree that the in6iction is de-
moniac enough to warrant the belief.
It has never been claimed that Cham
berlain's Pain Balm would cast out
demons, but it will cure rheumatism,
and hundreds hear testimony 10 the
truth of this statement. One applica-
ton relieves the pain, and this quick
relief which it affords is alone worth
many times its cost. For sale by all

The great Fountain murder mystery
of New Mexico has long excited wide
spread attention, and speculation mas
been rife for three years past concern
ing it. The question ''Who Killed the
Forntains?" has been asked thousands
of times and still remains unanswered.
With the surrender of Oliver Lee
and James Gilliland to Judge Parker
at Las Cruces last March many believ-
ed mat the mystery was about to be
clea, ed up at last, and when the trial OF
William McNew was set for April "a at
Silver City the belief was entertained
that ii e territory was prepared to DIS
close W no killed Col. Fountain and his
eight year old son and to convict the
murderers. In this, however, the pub
lie was deeply disappointed for the
prosecution permitted the case against
McNew to go by default although 1t
was cor tended that the prosecuting at
torney could not afford to show his
hand until the trial of the alleged ring
leaders, Lee and Gilliland.
Three long years have elapsed since
that February day in New Mexico
when Col. Albert j. Fountain, one OF
west, and his little sen, Henry, were
foully murdered on the arid plains,
forty miles from Las Cruces, while
pursuing the even tenor of HE way and
attending to the arduous duties of his
profession.
TIE story of the disappearance is full
of interest and well worth reproduc-
tion Just at this time when Oliver Lee
and james Gilliland are to be tried for
the murder. They are now under in
dictment and are prisoners. Lee Is
enc of the most prominent cattlemen 10
southern New Mexico and has hundreds
of friends who contend that he 1s being
prosecuted Gilliland has long been
his employee. Both men owe their
pres ent com plications to the untirlng
efforts and zeal of Sheriff Pat Garrett
who has never relaxed his vigilance
since he became sheriff of Dona Ana
county.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
In the latter part of January, 1895,
Col A. j. Fountain, attorney for the
Southwestern Cattle association, left
Las Cruces for Lincoln in Lincoln
county to attend term of district
court which convened there. Fountain
drove overland in blackboard,
and was accompanied by his eight year
old SON, Henry. At this term of the
Lincoln county court. Fountain, as at
torney for the stock association, was
prosecuting snumber of Indictments
for the unlawful branding and stealing
of cattle against w. 81. McNew an6
others. 49,
Fountain left Lincoln on the 10Th
day of January, 1896, having in hi
possession these indictments and al
the evidence in the cases. When h'
reached Fl. Stanton he telegraphed u

papers carried away.
Around the buggy there was the i'm

Smoking Vampires.

Henry Adams of Wichita. Kan, tells
this story of the favorite amusement of
Americans at the clubs in the City of
Mexico:
Frequently in the evenings the YAM
pires, or blood sucking bats. fly into
the open windows Of the clubroozns
The Americans then close the doors and
catch the bat by throwing a shawl over
it. One of the men lights cigarette,
opens the bats mouth and inserts the
cigarette therein. The creature is then
turned loose. Its soft mouth contract
ing closely, the cigarette is immediate
~ seized firmly.
Every time the bat breathes it draws
in the smoke and then exhales it.
Thus. flying around the room, smoking
the cigarette wildly and putting out
clouds of smoke. it presents a strange
appearance. The smoke generally kills
the hat before the cigarette is all
smoked up.

Testing n Diamond.

"When in doubt as to the genuine
ness of diamond" said a leading
dealer in precious stones to the writer
recently, "there is only one really re-
liable way by which the expert or the
amateur Judge can determine the quail
ity of the article and that is to test its
hardness by holding it against rapidly
revolving grindstone from five to ten
minutes. Then, if the least mark APP
pears upon the diamond, it is not a real
stone, for if it were a diamond. so far
from any mark being produced upon it,
it would be likely, on the other hand
to make a deep impression on the
grindstone. The same test may also be
made with emery paper or on an emery
wheel, neither of which, although hard
err than grindstone, will make any i'm
preston upon genuine diamond.
This is good thing for one to re-
member in these days of manufactured
diamonds. The paste article is now
made with such care that it sometimes
tests the skill of the expert to distin-
guish the genuine from the bogus, but
if the grindstone is brought into play
there can be no room for doubt. Some
people think that if they rub a stone
against glass and it makes a deep i'm
preston it is diamond. But nearly all
paste diamonds will scratch glass, and
the limitations of sapphires, rubies and
emeraIds will do the same. Washing

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. Iz733l
al am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to a woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years l had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
/ became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and infiamma ton of ovaries.
II underwent local treatment every
day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. / went back,
but in less than a week was com
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies Before
the first bottle was gone 1 felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and 4
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
nents and medicine.
1.-THE first remark that greets me
now is How much better you look and
you may be sure / never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health Mis-. z. j.
