Line by Four Outlaws.

Details of a murder in Texas, fifty
miles from FL Paso, near the New Mex
leo boundary. have come to light, and
two outlaws, Escontrilo and Medino,
have been captured, charged with the
crime. Marcus Medino Is charged in
several counties Of this territory with
cattle stealing. AS the result of bat
tie between four outlaws and lone
rancher, Jose Alvarez, the ranchman,
iG dead. and Marcus Medino and Anto-
MO Escontrillo two of the bandits, are
in Jail.
The affair occurred on the Alvarez
ranch, fifty miles from FL Paso. Alva-
rez was riding over his ranch when he
encountered the outlaws dressing a
beef. One Of the party. Marcus Medi-
no, threw his gun down on Alvarez, who
begged for his life. Medino showed no
mercy. and shot Alvarez in the stom-
ach. He fell from his horse and gained
a clump of bushes.
Opening fire on the gang with his re-
volver, Alvarez stood them off until
night, and then crawled to the road,
where he was picked up by a passing
freight wagon and taken home, where
he died the next morning. Sheriff Boone

adjoining rooms in most artistic man
ner. Upon the walls of the main audi
torium are found four 90 foot banners
| bearing the Republican watchwords
| Protection, Prosperity, Patriotism
| Progress" The stage is magnificently
draped in the national colors, with a
large picture of President Mckinley in
full view. The windows are draped in
bunting and capped with fan-shaped
| specimens of the decorators art.
The reception rooms, retiring rooms
and business offices of the club are also
most elaborately decorated with bunt-
ing and large campaign pictures. At
the rear of the hail. as the center of an
immense wheel-shaped decoration in
tri-color, is a large picture of Colonel
Roosevelt. This is one of the handsom-
est and most attractive decorative
pieces in the clubs headquarters.
At the meeting last night there were
over 300 people present. The main ad-
dress was made by the president of the
club, Col. r. e. Twitchell, who was un-
Republican principles and doctrines.
The president announced that the club
now has membership Of over 400 en-
thusiastic men, all of whom have made
personal application for membership.
Colonel Twtchell read the following let
ter from Col. Theodore Roosevelt,
which was received with uproarious ap-
plause:
my Dear Mr.. Twitchell-Let me
thank and congratulate both you and
work it is doing. AS 1 said at Las We
gas year ago, feel that New Mexico
has a particular claim upon me, and
am in the closest sympathy with its
people.
I do not have to argue for expansion
to you in New Mexico, for you are your
selves the best possible example of it.
You or your fathers have expanded into
the waste places of the great southwest
exactly as America is now expanding
You have red blood in your veins, and
are not of the kind to tolerate a nation
shirking it's work any more than you
would tolerate a man shirking his work.
l only wish that New Mexico were to
vote for president this fall 1t is enti-
tied to statehood. and I need not tell
you that all can do to get it admitted
as a state l will do. Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The meeting was in every sense a
success, and from now on the club will
have a similar meeting every Friday
night, to be addressed by prominent
Republicans from the territory and
elsewhere. 1t is to be hoped that clubs
similar to the Hammer and Tongs can
be organized at once all over the terri
tory. All that is needed Is the push and
perseverance of men like the present Of
fcers of the Hammer and Tongs. If any
information is wanted by Republicans
throughout the territory as to the
methods used in this organization, 1t
can be obtained by writing to Hon. w.
c. Reid, secretary, East Las Vegas, N.
NJ. who will be only too glad to send
out all data desired.

FELIPE TAPOYA GRANT PARTITION.
Colonel George W. Knaebel Files an An
swer to the Petition,

In the suit brought to partition the
Felipe Tafoya grant in Bernalillo coun-
ty, decided by the United States couci
of private land claims, February G.,
1885, for one Spanish league as "a per-
feet grant," about 4,3OO acres, Col Geo.
w. knaebel, who was made principal
defendant in the suit for partition, to-
day filed his answer in the district
court for Bernalillo county. Among
those seeking to secure partition of the
grant and claiming absolute ownership
thereof are Felipe Marquee ct AL, of
Valencia county; Rosario Chaves de
SalaZar, of Dona Ana county, and
Messrs. Amado and Irenio Chaves. Of
Santa Fe county. Colonel Knaebel is
trustee under certain mortgage
again the grant properts given by the
late Ramon A. Baca and wife. Decem-
Der 20, 1894, as security lor the payment
of four notes given by Baca and wife
for the sum of $500 in payment of le-
gal services rendered by Messrs. Geo.
w. and John H. Knaebel. These notes
bear Colonel Knaebel's Endorsement,
and together with the mortgage were
subsequently sold to and are now held
by William Vaughn, proprietor of the
Palace hotel The entire amount in
volved, together with interest and at
torneys fees, now figures up over $4,000.
Colonel Knaebel alleges in his answer
that the plaintiffs in the case seek to
defeat his security; he was led to be-
leve and does believe that Ramon A.
Baca and wife were the sole owners of
the Felipe Tafoya grant at the time the
mortgage was made. and he sets up
claim to the ownership of the property
by virtue of this mortgage, praying the
court to grant him judgment as the
lawful owner and holder of said one
Spanish league of land, so confirmed as
the Felipe Tafoya grant. as mortgage,
under said mortgage, adversely to the
whole world, including these plaintiffs
and all other defendants, and also asks
that they be estopped from having or
claiming any right or title to the land
in controversy.

SHARKEY KNOCKED OUT.
A Clean and Square Fight Between Two
Pugilists.

New York, August 25.-That the fight
between Robert Fitzsimmons and
Thomas Sharkey las. night was on the
square is the unanimous opinion of the
White, referee, said: ut was a hard,
fast, furious fight from the first tap Of
the bell. Sharkey landed heavy
swing on Fitz just as the gong sounded
at the end of the first round. The blow
knocked Fitz down, but was a trifle too
high to be effective. Fitzsimmons and
Sharkey mixed it up from the opening
to the finish in the second and last
round. Sharkey stood the rain of blows
like the Stole he Is. When nearly gone,
Fitz got in his famous left hook to the

Nicaragua Will Aocede to Any Terms Sug-

New York, August 25.-Gen. p. Alex
ander, who was appointed by President
Cleveland as arbitrator of the boundary
dispute between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica, has just returned from those
countries on the completion of his mis-
sion. The interesting feature Of Alex
ander's work lay in the fact that his
labors on the boundary question were
the cause of close survey of the line
of the proposed Nicaragua canal. He
said he did not think that the commits
sion now preparing the report would
advise new route. While disclaiming
any definite knowledge on the subject,
he was inclined to think that PROPOSE
ton from the Ncaraguan government
% ours has already been made. He be-
eved that rather than not have the
oanal built, the Nicaraguan government
would accede to almost any terms made
W the United States.

A fierce fire has ragged in the Sandia

undoubtedly be destroyed. Several
