That These Bones and Relics Are
Those of Col. Fountain and
His Little Son?
A Story Comes From AlamOgOrd0 That Has
In 1t Infinite Possibilities Of Sen
SatiOnai Disclosure

The hunters made their way to Ala
mosordo yesterday and today the cor
oner and a dozen people, it is said,
have gone to the spot where the grew
some discovery was made and the Of
ficer will investigate fully.
Col Albert J. Fountain and his little
son disappeared more than four years
ago while they were returning home
10 Las Cruces from Lincoln county.
where Fountain as attorney for the
Cattlemen's association, had been, to
procure indictments against and pros
ecute. alleged cattle rustlers, who had
been preying upon the herds belonging
TO members of the association.
Among those indicted We're oliver
Lee. William McNew and James Gill
liland. and when Fountain returned
home he carried all the court docu-
ments in his vehicle. He and his
child were last seen alive near the
chalk hills on the road to Las Cru
ces by Il mail rider who was told by
Fountain that three horsemen just dis
cernible in the distance had been fol-
lowing the blackboard all day.
The two Fountains disappeared as
completely as if the earth had opened
and swallowed them up. There were
to- be sure evidences of a fight pools
OF blood upon the sand and "a trail OF
horsemen leading away toward the
ranch of Oliver Lee. but that was all.
The sensational trial of Lee and Gill
liland for the murder of Fountains son
and their acquittal more than year
ago. are things still remembered by
the public. The bodies of the Foun-
tains had never been recovered and
the evidence against the defendants
was insufficient to convict.
Lee and Gilliland's flight from Sher-
iff Garrett prior to their surrender.
their fight with the posse, when a dep
uty was killed. are also well known.
But if they had anything to do with
the disappearance of the Fountains il
was not brought out at the Hillsboro
trial.
The finding of the human bones near
Cloudcroft. about twenty miles from
Lees ranch, may serve at last to clear
up the mystery. for it was said long
ago. Murder will out

Search lights will be turned on the
flags so that the words they contain
can be read by the thousands that will
throng the streets.
Richard Croker will spend $4,000 on
the meetings.

Passengers arriving from Alamo
gordo on last nights incoming f. p. &
y. +. train bring the startling infor-
nation of the finding of the charred
bones of a man and boy in James
canon about five miles from Cloudcroft.
The indisputable evidence of foul
play and the significant fact that the
bones once belonged TO man and a
boy have almost convinced residents
of that section that the remains are
those of the unfortunate Albert j.
Fountain and his infant son. who We're
murdered on the plains near Las Cru
ces early in February. 1896.
The lonely grave was discovered
Sunday by two hunters. Alonzo Green
wood and William Smith. who reached
Alamogordo yesterday. The hunters
were traversing James canon. about
twenty miles from Alamogordo, on the
eastern slope of the hills. when one of
them espeid the muzzle of a gun pro-
truding from the ground at his feet.
The hunters out of mere curiousity
dug UP the weapon and as the earth
was removed they We're astonished to
find human bones beneath and a sec
ond gun. The bones had evidently been
slightly burned. for they were charred
in some places as if fire had been APP
piled before the earth was thrown over
them. The rifles had also been sub
jected to the heat of the flames for
the wooden stocks had been burned
off. There was also part of half burn
ed saddle.
The hunters collected the bones to-
gether and soon discovered that the
skeletons We're those of man and
boy. They also found a number of
metallic trinkets. which may serve to
more fully identify the dead. Among
these We're suspender buckles belong
ing to- the man and small buckles that
might have been worn by Il child. eth
er on his shoes or garments. These
things were all collected and will be
preserved with the utmost care. for
persons in that vicinity are convinced
that the great Fountain murder mys-
terry is about to he cleared up at last
and with the finding of the bodies of
the victims il may now be possible to
track down and convict the assassins.

NEW YORK SAFE

New York based on information just
received over the long distance tele-
phone. He said: Even if We accept
the widest claim of the democrats
about New York city. namely. that
they will carry it by a hundred thous-
and. yet the poll taken by us outside
of the city gives the assurance that the

eighty thousand to one hundred thous-

Unusual Story of a Destruc-
tive Feud In a Mexican
Mining Camp.
And There is no End, For
Every Victim Has Som
one to Avenge His
Death

| Through George Beverage. one of the
| owners of the Dolores mines in the
state of Zacatacas. Mexico. the news OF
series of tragical events reached
this city today.
| The story illustrates the avengeful
and treacherous character that accom-
panies the Mexican blood aid five
mangled forms now lay planted in the
rocks about the Dolores mines as re-
suit.
To begin with the last chapter in
the story. just before Mr.. Beverage
| left the mines one of the most cruel
and heartless acts ever committed by
mountaineer outlaws was perpetrated
within a block of the mine and in
sight of score of rough miners, v ho
looked upon the affair as only 4 pass
ing event.
Two Mexicans. who already had cut
more than a score of notcEeS on their
gun stock to number the men they had
slain. ordered an employe Of The mi1se.
who had been intimate with tl:.ir sis
ter. TO marry her. He persistantiy -.

ent of the mines had gone to lunch. the
two brothers called on Their victim

with their knives. After they had
finished their barbarous task they cut
out his heart. and laying it on his

This was the elimination o; long
feud that found its origin at a dance
Months before this las. affair three
MeXicans became involved in Il diff
Guilty over a girl at dance. Two Of
the men were killed and tie third
stole the girl and took her to 4 cave
near by where he kept ner as :, pris-
oner for a month. His purposes were
soon learned and three men went out
to rescue her. On reaching the cave
a battle ensued and the man III the
cave and two of his assailant We're
instantly killed. The remaining rufIin
saw his opportunity and took posses
sion and kept the girl prisoner for
two months.
Another attempt to rescue the unfOr-
tunate woman resulted in the death of
four men and the girl was at last re-
stored to her parents at the camp.
One of the participants in the last
battle was the victim of the savages
at the mines last week. When the
story will end. says Mr.. Beverage. is
not known for every time he visits the
camp another chapter of the affair is
related.
