DEATH OF GOVERNOR CONNOLLY
From the New Mexican Aug. ls, 1866.
Ex-Governor Connolly died in this cit
on last Sunday afternoon, the 18th inst.
after short but painful illness. Th
deceased was native of Kentucky, bu
had resided in Mexico and this Territor
for the past forty years. He had occu
pied many official positions both unde
the territorial and general governments
and uniformly discharged the dutie
with strict fidelity and due regard to thu
interests of the territory and his fellow
citizens. Highly esteemed by all, his
loss will be deeply felt by the people
amongst whom he has so long lived, and
for whose interests and prosperity he
has so long labored.
The citizens of Santa Fe held meet
ing on Tuesday evening at the rooms OF
Attorney General Clever, and passed res
olutions expressive of the feelings of the
people, which we publish In another
place.
THE FIRST PRINTING PRESS.
The first printing press ever brought
to New Mexico was bought by Santiago
Abreu about 1880, and was used in San
ia Fe up to the time of his assassination
in 1897. The widow sold it to Padre
Martinez, of Taos, who until the present
has been credited with having been the
one who brought it to New Mexico.
Jesus Maria Baca, of Santa Fe, was the
first printer and was known as the El
Impresso" until his death.
DEATH OF GOVERNOR ALBINO
PEREZ.
A wrong impression has existed
among many people as to the place and
manner in which Governor Perez and
the Abreu brothers met their death at
the time of the Chimayo revolution OF
1887. 1t has been supposed that they
were killed In tho old Palace building,
but such is not the case. When it be-
came known that the revolutionists
were on their way to Santa Fe nearly
1 200 strong, Perez and the three Atreu
brothers, Santiago, Ramon and Marce-
limo and Chico Alarid left the city on
horseback on their way to Albuquerque
intending to continue the trip to FL Paso
Ind to the City of Mexico. They were
net, however, by a large party of In
iians from the pueblos OF San Felipe
Ind Santo Domingo who were on their
way to meet the Chimayo rebels. The
ihree Abreu brothers were killed by the
Indians near Las Bocas and the govern
,r, who was riding fine horse, made a
great effort to reach Santa Fe, but at
olace called Las Cieneguitas, just out
lde OF the city, the Indians surrounded
lin and an old Indian from the inside
,f corral shot the governor and he fell
rom his horse. All the Indians then
made a rush towards the fallen man but
le raised his head and with pocket
PISTOL that he had in his hand he shot
me of the Indians and wounded him,
hea his head fell back and he was
lead. The Indians then approached
md with big knife cut off his head
md carried 1t to the Canton or encamp
nent where the rebels were assembled |
It place close to the Rosario church. |
rhe Indians took all his clothing and |
eft the body naked. The rebels then |
'araded the streets with the head on a
like.
Sometime after this Governor Manuel |
Armijo arrived in Santa Fe followed by
reat numbers of people who rallied to
is support all the way from Tome, Va
sncia county, Albuquerque and BerDa-
lilo. When Armijo had taken possess
ion of the Palace, Col. Gonzales who
ad command of the rebel forces rode
1to the city and went up to the Palace
nd challenged Armijo to come out and
ght. Armjo walked out of the Palace
nth a cane In his hand and walked up to
IOnzales who was on horseback and told
i'm to get away from the city as quickly
9 possible or he would have him arrest.
