MISSING MEN.
Relatives Near Albuquerque Believe They
Were Murdered,

Letters Of inquiry are being sent out
about two missing men, Frank Gabal-
don and Luciano Velasquez, who start
ed from some point in Nevada the latter
part Of August, and 1t Is presumed
made their way through San Juan coun-
ty toward Albuquerque. The last heard
from the two men was letter written
at Frisco, Utah, September T. The Albu-
querque relatives of the men fear that
they haA met with foul play, which
fear seems to be we'll founded. The
Durango (Colo.) Democrat says that
one of the Gabaldon family was six
weeks ago In the Naciemento country
attending dance, and told some of his
friends that he was looking for his
brother. who was coming from Nevada
with bunch of horses, and that he was
coming home to stay; that he had sold
out and settled up his business and
would have quite a start. His father
thinks he must have had $1,000 with
him, as he had been living in Nevada
for some six years, and some two years
ago he came home with $4,000.
The supposition is that certain parties
knew of his coming and sent Ignacio
Gallegos and another man to meet them
in Largo canon and murder them for
their money and stock. AS they passed
Largo about the 18th of September they
would have time to get about half way
to Otero's ranch to camp. The horses
passed Oteros ranch the next day,
driven by Ignacio Gallegos and another
man, but no one else was seen. These
parties drove the horses. which were
freshly branded with Plmeno Miera's
horse brand 49," to Albuquerque, and
disposed Of them.

Cape Town, Oct. 14.--A special from
Mafeking says all was intact there up to
Saturday night. Boer artillery was be.
ing brought up but had not been placed
in position. The British have blown
up the Hopetown railway bridge over
the Orange river with view to checking
Boer advance southwark. 1t is ex-
pected the Beers will cut off Kimberly S
supply of water but the De Beers dam
contains enough for considerable Pc
riOd.
Colonel Baden Powell made a sortie
from Mafeking in force and attacked
the Beers, who were investing the town.
After fierce fighting the British carried
the day.
The skirmish near Spytfontein, says
special dispatch from Cape Town, was
quite lively. The armored train, with a
detachment of Lancashires, approached
umolested until within range, when
the Beers opened fire. The Maxims were
set to work, and did good execution
among the burghers. The latter also
used artillery, but ineffectively. The ar
mored train returned to Kimberly un-
harmed.
