A FATAL QUARREL.
Louis Densmore on Trial at Albuquerque
on the Charge of Murder.

The prosecution at Albuquerque in the
case of the United States VS.. Louis Dens-
more, charged with numbering John Max
we'll on the Navajo Indian reservation,
rested yesterday afternoon in the district
court. The principal witness, Antonio
Esquibel, testified that both Maxwell
and Densmore were considerably intox-
icated and got into quarrel. Densmore
insisted that the quarrel must be fought
out, and offered Maxwell his choice of a
pistol or rifle. Maxwell did not want
to fight a duel, hut finally consented.
He fired the first shot, which struck
Densmore in the leg. After Densmore
fell he told Luis Baca, who was with the
party, to shoot Maxwell. Baca obeyed,
and it was a shot from his rifle which
proved fatal.
Esqulbel admitted that his testimony
at the coroner's inquest was perjured, as
Baca had made threats to kill him II he
told the truth. Baca will be given a
separate trial.

TWO MEN HELD FOR MURDER.
An Ex- Convict Accuses Them of Having
Killed Simon Gonzales.

Simon Garcia and Maverick" John
ston, who were arrested some time ago
for the murder of Simon Gonzales, which
is alleged to have occurred on the 18th
of December, 1899, near the Bell ranch,
about sixty miles from East Las Vegas.
were admitted to bail in San Miguel
county district court, the amount of the
bond in each case being $4,000. The
bail was fixed by Chief Justice Mills on
the suggestion of the district attorney.
1t seems that the only evidence against
these men is that of man by the name
of Eddington, who claims that he was
present and heard Johnston make an
agreement with Garcia to give him $50
If Garcia would kill Gonzales, giving him
at the time 500 of the money. This was
ON December 13, 1S99 and on December
II of the same year Eddington claims he
followed Garcia and saw him shoot Con
zales and bury his body in nearby
canon. Eddington has been in the pen
itentiary number of times for horse
and cattle stealing and his story is
doubted by many.
