The REMAINS OF FOUNTAIN AND SON.
They Are Supposed to Have Been Found in
the Sacramento Mountains.

AS stated yesterday IN a ulSpdtCh TO
the New Mexican, the charred bones OF
man and boy, supposed to be the NOR
tai remains of Col. A. j. Fountain and
son Henry, We're found Sunday III the
Sacramento mountains by Alonzo
Greenwood and William Smith, who
were on hunting expedition.
Descending the side on one of the
mountains lining James canon, the
discovered a part of q gun barrel pro-
truding from the ground at their feet.
They dug beneath the surface and un-
earthed another gun barrel, a partially
burned saddle, looking glass, pair of
hreec,ies buckles, the hurned hones of
two skeletons and several minor pocket
articles, which latter did not aid in
Identifying the remains.
The stocks of both guns had been
burned, giving evidence that the muir
derer had attempted to destroy all trace
of the crime by burning his own gun
and saddle, as we'll as the bodies of his
victims.
UNDOUBTEDLY FOUNTAIN.
AS Fountain and son are the only per-
| sons who have been missing from that
| part of the country, and as similar
| breeches buckles We're worn by young
| Henry Fountain, there is no doubt but
what the last resting place of the muir
dered attorney and his son has been
found and the veil of mystery surround
ing their disappearance has been par
TALLY raised.
Colonel Fountain and son left Lin
coin for Las Cruces the latter part of
January, 1896. in a blackboard. and
stopped the night of January 81 at the
home of d. NJ. Sutherland, prominent
La Luz stockman. They intended go
ing 10 Las Cruces by way of the White
Sands desert. but after leaving La Luz
they disappeared from the earth as
completely as though swallowed by an
earthquake.
About a week later their blackboard
was found near the Chalk Bluffs, and
near by was pool of dried blood and a
| few blood stained coins, indicating the
scene of terrible tragedy.
Fountain was a prominent attorney,
and in the valise which he carried We're
| indictments for the arrest of a number
of persons charged with cattle stealing
BATTLE WITH POSSE.
| o. NJ. Lee and James M. Gililand an6
William McNew were indicted for the
murder of Colonel Fountain and son
After nearly two years of out
lawry, during which time Lee and his
friends successfully evaded Sheriff Pat
r. Garrett and the forces sent out tc
capture them, a pitched battle was
fought between CARROTS posse and the
Lee people, which resulted in the killing
of Deputy Kearney and the defeat OF
the posse. Then at the instance OF
Governor Otero Lee and the others sur
rendered.
All the legal talent in the territory
Twas employed in the case, and every eff
fort was made to fasten the crime or
Lee, Gilliland and McNew, but the jury
rendered a verdict of not guilty.
Although the finding of the bodies of
fers no clew to the perpetrators of th'
crime, it brings to light the fact tha
Fountain and son were undoubtedl!
murdered, and that they did not go t.
some South American country. as wa
frequently reported. Detectives hav

Trinidad, Colo, writes that a great
change is taking place in Las Animas

of the Democracy and Populism, and
that the county is likely to go Repub-
lican and for Mckinley next month.
One Of the Republican candidates for
the Legislature is Maj. Rafael Chacon,
a native of this territory, and men,
Der of one of its best families. His an
cestors were among the most noted of
the Spanish conquestradores. He Is
lineal descendant of General Hurtado
the founder of the city of Albuquerque,
and of Don Bartolome Fernandez de la
Perdrera, cousin Of the Marques de la
Penuela, governor and captain general
of the province of New Mexico for a
time in the eighteenth century. During
the war of the rebellion Major Chacon
served as major in one Of the New
Mexico regiments with great gallantry

fully deserving of it in every way.

MINISTER WU'S STATEMENTS.
Washington, October 17.-Ministel
WI conveyed to the president this
| morning message from the emperor
of China, thanking President McKin-
ley for the consideration shown by the
United States during the Chinese trou-
BILE. The minister also brought dis
patch from Shanghai from the southern
viceroys, stating that the imperial par
tv reached Tung Kuan, only few miles
from Sinan Flu, the new capital, on the
14th inst. Referring to the report from
Pekin that the edict for the punishment
of certain Chinese officials had been
forged, Minister Wu said the story is

dence whatever.
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

Consul McWade at Canton saying that

RUSSIA WILL GO 1T ALONE.
st. Petersburg, October 1.-THE Rus
sian government permits it to become
known that it's attitude in China will be
in favor Of increasing independence of
the concert of the powers. Russia, it is
explained, is disposed to attach less
value to joint action since her interests
have been fully secured by a successful
campaign in Manchuria. Moreover,
Russia is not willing to" follow the ir-
reconcilable policy of some of the pow
ers"
The expectation, the publication adds,
is that the Chinese government is
about to utilize all it's resources to du-
plicity to keep the powers occupied with
vain negotiations and proposals and
dispatching notes in order to gain time
until winter, counting on the rigor OF
the climate to prevent military oper-
atoms, and to allow China to prepare
her resources for a spring campaign.

Increasing Interest in the Approach
ing Election Coming Social-Per-
sonal and other Notes.

AS the primary election draws near
the political excitement increases and
each day brings the visits of several
candidates and their legion of friends,
whose steps are eagerly followed by
the local would-be politicians. The
Crawford county system will, no doubt,
prove an interesting lesson to observ-
ing voters, as well as to the political
aspirants for office, and when the re-
suit of the primary election is made
known it is safe to say the defeated
candidates will not be alone in their
disappointment at the system, which
promised great results and which, it
was heralded, would bring about so
much good, and give every man a
change.
In connection with the school COM
mencement exercises we unintentional-
ly omitted the name of Miss Cora Lay
