Thieves At Rinc0n Touch Up Old
Man MCC1intoCk-O Officers In
purSuit.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
ENGLE, N. M, Oct. 16 What is
presumed to be an organized band OF
plumbers forced an entrance into the
postoffice and store of A. McClintOck,
postmaster and merchant at RincOn,
late last night. The thieves secured
one hundred ald forty dollars In post
age stamps, several hundred dollars in
coin and various prices OF stock that
was convenient to carry off.
The spoilers after purloining every
available piece of valuable property
worth taking then instituted quiet
search for the keys belonging to the
establishment. Being awarded in their
efforts the hOusebreakers opened the
rear door of the place and then in the
open scaled q small fence of the house
adjoining the post office, and by easy
access gained an admittance to the
Parlor saloon. From the saloon the
maruaders scooped in several pieces of
costly jewellery and then emptied the
con tents of the cash drawer. M. Cas-
tillo, proprietor of the resort, found
the place.in. great disorder, then he
opened up this morning. The burglars
also replenished themselves with many
quarts bottles of Rincon liquor.
Sheriff Pat Garrett, of Dona Ana
County, assisted by Deputy Ben Will
liams, is handling the case, and while
to work on, it is believed three men in
the guise of miners and who bad prowl-
ed about town the greater portion of
day are responsible for the robbery.
The men left:Rincon at daybreak this
morning on q south bound freight
train and Deputy Williams has gone to
head them off. 1t is thought the sus-
poets are making for Mexico. AS the
men have eight hours start they will
probably reach the Mexican border in
advance of the thief-taker. 1t is
tontended by many, however, that the
deed was committed by brace Of
method:cal and nervy burglars, we'll up
in the art of porch elm bling and house
bre aking, and that they are membe
of band of rowing thieves, who have
been operating in this territory the
past few weeks, and that they are the
originators of many depredations and
llaging that has been recently COM
mitted in several towns along the line
work is apparently not that of a novice,
though the lock on the post Office was
pried open with q pick axe. The in
terror of the store, however, demon
strated scientific work characteristic of
the expert brakeman, and showed
evidences of the jimmy and other il
legal tools. It is probable from all in
dications the4tbree mysterious stran-
gers that cheat" the freight train
south were concerned in the affair and
that they disguised themselves as min
ers merely to throw of the yoke of sus-
picion as to their real character and
presence in the town. By this decep-
ton and when the opportunity afforded
the "faked'' miners would evidently
survey the surroundings of the town
and obtain an insight of their plan of
operations. It will go hard with the
depredators If captured, as the offense
will be vigorously prosecuted by both
the federal and county authorities.

enactment by the last legislation OF

An Anvil Marks . Blacksmith Last
Resting Place.

Volrath Mcehle, says the st. Louis
Post Dispatch, sleeps under his old an
vii at Walnut Hill Cemetery, in Belle
vile.
Moehle was a village blacksmith. For
over 30 years he had toiled at the same
anvil, which had been given to him by
the blacksmith to whom he was "bound
out :" at Pilot Knob, Mo.
On his deathbed MOBILE requested
that his anvil should be his tombstone
In accordance with his wish the old
anvil was coated with enamel, topped
with a large horseshoe and set in bas g
of solid granite.
A few Sundays after his death the
monument was raised with ceremony
and Hon. ]. Nick Perrin delivered the
eulogy.
The odd monument is one of the sights
of the cemetery, and to every stranger
who pauses before it the story OF the
village blacksmith is told.
