w. B. WILSON.
Mr.. Wilson, who ia section boss for
the E. P. & N. E., said that at 3 o.
clock Sunday afternoon he heard
screams and going to his cabin door he
discovered Cuedss coming towards
him holding his hands over his heart
and screaming. Wilson asked what
was the matter but Cuedss could not
answer him, and he died IA minutes
later without having explained wheth-
err he was shot accidentally or tnten-
tionally.
Mr.. Wilson, as soon as Fierro was
captured, placed the sick man and the
prisoner on hand car with the inten-
tions of bringing them to Ell Paso but
when he reached point two miles
from where the shooting occurred, the
Injured man died. He then took the
corpse and the prisoner back to Long
horn and notified the officials of this
place.
After hearing this testimony Justice
Ellis placed the prisoner under q $500
bond to await the action of the grand
jury.
It is now almost certain that aPatter-
son g. Wallace will be employed this
evening to defend the prisoner and in
the event of this transaction habeas
corpus proceedings will be instituted
tomorrow.

Maxwell is an interesting character

to this country many years ago and
has since led a rowing life.
At the time of the Fountain disap-
pearance Maxwell was employed at
the V. v. ranch near LINCOLN run by q
Scotch syndicate. He was at Dog
Canyon at the time in company with
Bud Smith and Joe Wingfeld in search
of some horses. He left there on Sun
-ay morning, the End of February,
1897, and came to Tularosa and told
three different parties that Oliver Lee,
Jim Gillilsnd and Billy McNew were
all at Dog Canyon, and rthat he slept
with McNew the Saturday night pre-
vious.
1t is said that he once worked for
Oliver Lee, but this is known to be IN
true.
Maxwell is charged with hav-
inge ntered into q written
contract with Pat Garrett &
Perry for the sum of two
thousand dollars to furnish evidence
which would convict Lee and his asso-
ciates.
Maxwell when asked about the max

he was to receive two thou

hat it was absolutely untrue.

RODE DOWN STEPS OF FEDERAL

''Rube" Shields AcCOmplishes That
Wonderful Feat.

Before an admiring throng of over q
thousand people, who completely lined
the sidewalks, ''Rube" Shields mount
on his Olive wheel and rode down the
steps of the building facing Oregon
street, yesterday afternoon; and when
the daring feat had been accom- plished
the crowd simply howled with de-
light.
'.Rube" says riding down steps is pie
to him, and the more of them he has to
travel over the better he likes it.
'sRube" will again visit the other
side of the river today and give an ex-
hibition near the plaza in Juarez this
evening. He will perform at the usual
place here at four O'Clock.
From here Shields and his partner.
whom he always addresses as the boy,
will go to Albuquerque.

Testimony Received This Morning By
Judge Ellis On the Killing of Fer

slble.

Filmon Fierro, the Mexican who is
charged with the murder of Herman

Sunday, was brought up before Justice

hearing.
After being informed that his state.
ment would be used against him as
evidence before the higher courts, he
said that he wanted to make state
ment.
In substance he said that he went to
Longhcrn to get q drink OF water.
When he reached the barrels which
con attained the water he said that man
named jose Soto, who was living in q
cabin close by, motioned for him to
come over. He went, and there he
met Cuedas He pulled out his
pistol, 32-calibre, and Cuedas wanted
to see it. He showed it to him and in
taking it back the revolver exploded,
killing Cuedas. He, said that the reason
he tried to escape was because he heard

going to kill him. When overtaken he
said that he surrendered without
fight and went back to the cabin of the
section bose where he was tied to
await the arrival of the officers.
