In the plaza at Santa Fe is a mouu-
ment erected to the memory OF the
New Mexico soldiers who fell during
the civil var. On this monument Is an
Inscription which speaks OF the fol-
lowers OF Jefferson Davis as "rebels. -
A bill has been introduced ordering
the word "rebels" chiselled out aud
the word "confederates" put 10 its
place. The bill has been referred to a
committee of one consisting Of the
Hon. T.. b. Catron. During the period
Of 1s61-65 Mr.. Catron was what was
then known as a rebel, but Is now
called a confederate. There are
doubts about Mr.. Catron being willing
to attempt to change what is a histor.
ical fact for the purpose Of putting a
more euphonious word upon a monu-
ment.
r. p. Barnes has introduced a bill!
providing means for making good
roads.
There is a bill before the legislature
which will probably become a law
providing for fining a butcher from
eos to 1000 who buys a dressed beef
or mutton from a man who cannot
show a clear title to the carcass.
This is to prevent the purchase Of
stolen beef by butchers, and IL 1t be-
ome a law, as it probably will, viii
take away from stock thieves their
most profitable market.
The bill requiring the territorial
and county officers to keep all public
buildings insured, has been signed by
the governor and is now a law.
The protest against the passage Of
the proposed bailding:and loan combs
cation law signed by the citizens Of
Lordsburg, was presented in the
council and referred to the committee
in charge the proposed bill.
The Duncan bill, which 1t is calcu.
will force a better assessment,
and a better collection Of taxes, has
become a law.
The governor has appointed Major
w. II. II. LlewellYn as district attor-
neY of Dona Ana and Otero counties
and the appointment has been con-
1rmed.
A bill has been introduced making
eight per CEN the legal rate OF inter
est, and another has been introduced
providing a salary of fifty dollars a
year for justices OF the peace. also one
to pay a bounty on all sugar made In
The territory from sugar beets.

Last week a couple OF murderers
and two other prisoners, all OF whom
were awaiting trial 10 the Solomonville
Jail, made their escape. The Jail Is a
new one, aud was supposed TO be
prisoner proof. When IL Is time to
lock up the prisoners for the night
the jailOr stands outside the corridor,
sends the men to their cells, then
pulls a lever which locks all the doors,
then goes inside and puts a paddock
On each door. This night the two
murderers had monkeyed with the
lever, and when the jaiiOr pulled IL it
did not lock their door. When he
came in to lock the door with the pad
lock they overpOwered him, tied and
gagged him, put him 10 their cell,
took his keys and gun and left. AS
the county Is so economical that IL
eau only hire one man at the Jail the
escape was net discovered until the
next morning, when the day guard
went on aud found the night guard
tied up like a package OF pork chops.
Sheriff Ben Clark and deputies started
after the men. Luckily Sheriff
Clarks back had got strong again and
be was able to follow the trail, and
capture his men several days later 10
the mountains north Of SolOmonVille.
