4 BLOODY SUNDAY AT LAS CRUCES.
An El Paso Man and Las Cruces Woman
We're Killed.

In the shooting affray at Las Cruces
on Sunday, Perry Greer, proprietor of
the Dewey saloon in El Paso, was shot
and killed by Deputy Sheriff Lucero of
Dona Ana County. A picnic was being
held in park near the depot at Las
Cruces by the Knights of Labor of Ell
Paso. A pavilion near the place was
utilized as dance hall and tits reported
that the deputy went into the hall and
ordered all of the low class women out.
Some of their male partners became
abusive and threatened the deputy sher-
if. They left the dance hall and went
down to the cars. where the special train
was on the side track awaiting the party
to return to Ell Paso, when some Of them
became unruly and the deputy sheriff
was called. When the deputy entered
the cars to arrest man, Perry Greer
shot at the deputy three or four times,
and the deputy drew his six-shooter and
shot him through the head, killing him
instantly.
A coroner's inquest held Sunday even
ing with the occupants of the car as wit
nesses justified Lucero in the shooting.
An aged woman was run over earlier
in the day by an 81 Pasoan, Lally
Rhond, who was on horseback, and re-
ceived injuries from which she died
Monday morning. Rhondo was ar
rested.

FIERCE FIGHTING
IN SOUTH AFRICA
The Beers Succeed in Recapturing
Supplies That Had Been Taken
by the British.
DETAILS OF THE CONFLICT
Oommandant Delarey Personally Used
Rife While Man Was Killed on His
Right and Another on
His Left.

/, Capetown, Jura 25 The details of an
engagement between General Elliolts
column and DeWet's forces near Reitz,
June 6, shows that the British surprised
a Boer convoy. The Burghers fled, but
seeing that the captors were not in
strong force the Beers returned and
charged with great determination and
after desperate fighting, recaptured the
convoy. Meanwhile Colonel DeLisle ar
rived with reinforcements and the fight
ing was renewed. The Beers lay be-
meath their wagons and unfinchingly
fired volleys between the wheels, while
their comrades were engaged in span
ming and driving off that portion of the
convoy furthest from the British. The
latter pushed in among the wagons, u.s.
ing bayonets freely. General Delarey
personally used a rifle. A man at his
right hand was killed and comrade on
the left wounded The affair ended in q
series of hand to hand encounters and
fierce melees, the Beers eventually be-
ing driven off. One of DeWet's officers
was wounded and taken prisoner.
THE BOERS IN CAPE COLONY.

shots six miles hence. All local defence
forces have been modified.
JACOBUS BOTHA is SJAMBOKED.
Capetown, June 25.-Jacobus Botha,
member of the Cape assembly for ALI
wal North, has been captured by the
Beers and publicly sjamboked. In addi-
ton, his house was burned. The reason
assigned for this treatment is that Bot
ha voted in favor of the treason bill.

range on the many thousand acres OF
first class land in Luna county, were in

having come especially to attend the
Inauguration ceremonies. These gentle-
men state that Deming is having a Won
derful growth. There is no boom but
everything indicates prosperity and
good business. Work on the grade of
the New Mexico Southwestern from

GRAFTON, several miles having already
been graded and the construction camps
removed during the past week five miles

Phelps Dodge people is to push the road

the material being used is to come via
