Foulks and J. NJ. jacobson. Part of
the evidence showed that Schliger
with three others from Clarkville
forced the guard to let them enter
the camp AZ the point of a shot gun
held on the guard by Schliger; that
the guard got assistance and ordered
the men out of the camp. n that
Schliger again drew a shot gun on
him, which was taken from him.
Several OF the guards then started
to take the men out of the camp,
the shot CUR being carried by some
one Of them In the lead. Tafoya and
Schliger bringing up the rear. Near
the guard line the latter stopped and
according to Tafoya's testimony
cursed him and made a move toward
his hip pocket. when Tafoya shot him.
An examination proved that Schliger
had no weapon on him. Whether this
evidence vas substantiated by other
witnesses or not ! have not been able
to learn. The men with Schliger and
the guards were all present al the
inquest. also all others who knew
anything about the circumstances. The
examination was a thorough one. The
jury adjourned last night at Z o'clock,
and were In session today all forenoon.
their recommendation was that
Tafoya should be held for the grand
jury

Jackson. once through the shoulder
blade and once across the stomach.
One Moore got a severe cash In the
head with a beer bottle. The men
were drinking and Jackson and VIII.
liams were both armed with revolvers.
No effort seems to have been made by
the officers at Catalpa or by the min.
ers present to arrest the man who did
the shooting. and he succeeded In
making his escape to the hills south
Of the mines. Williams is getting
along all right and will cover The
practice of carrying weapons around
the camps Is entirely too common
and should be stopped.

lOgist, who vas well known IN this
section twenty years ago, has returned
to Gallup with plenty of capital and
Is now dcyoting his energies to the de.
velopment Of the Gallup oil fields. The
professor was n of the first men
In the carly eighties to discover the
value of these oil fields. The coun.
Try was unsettled at that time, the
Indians were ugly and dangerous and
no Roadway could be made with pros,
pecting. In n instance the Indians
burned n building containing tools and
provisions and drove the p%rospectors
away with rifles. and things We're made
generally so unpleasant that the idea
of drilling for oil had to be abandoned.
