lie did not fnd any at that price.
s.. f.. Quintero, who worked for
Streeter Il Lusk for some time, left
Saturday for the Peabody mine 10
Arizona, owned by the Federal copper
company, which 10 this country is
hessrs. J~aycoeks & Ricketts,. Mr..

the company.
Among the men killed 10 the recent
Ash Peak explosion, was Mr.. Joseph
Alamo, who was to have been
married within two weeks time to
Miss Carrie Chandler, a very estim-
able young lady Of that place. Mr..
Alamo was a young man vi excellent
character, ane looking, aud one of
Natures nOblemen; and the fact that
he was to have been married so soon
makes it doubly pathetic, as the
young lady was yet neither wife nor
widow, but her grief is incOnsolable as
theirs was a case OF great devotion.
Monday a couple Of special trains
passed through from the west, one
carrying the scenery aud baggage Of
Sarah Bernhardt's company and the
other carrying Sarah and the company.
They were en- route from San Francis
CO TO New Orleans. While the train
stopped here the Divine Sarah learned
that there was no company at the
opera house Monday night and she
raised a great row with her manager,
for telling her a Oh about the house,
She said she had long waited to APP
pear before u Lordshurg audience, and
had insisted that the company stop
here for one night, but the manager
said he had telegraphed and found
that the opera house was engaged FOR
the night they would get here, and
that IL they stopped they would have
10 play in the school house, and there
not room. Madame B%ernhardt
made il warm for the manager all the
May TO New Orleans for this.
In the last Enterprise Thomas
Lyons, who is really the Lyons &
Campbell cattle company, has a card
ia which he says that the article pub
llshed 10 the LIBERAL regarding the
truuble his company was seeking with
the residents on the middle CHA, In
the Bedrock precinct, "a entirely
untrue. The LIBERAL gained its In
formation regarding this trouble from
residents OF that section, men with
whom it has had a long acquaintance,
and whom it has always found reli-
able. When 1t comes to a question of
veracitY between these farmers and
Thomas Lyons the LIBERAL believes
the farmers. Mr.. LYONS says 1t is a
private matter between the company
aud the farmers, that he has nothing
against them, and does not intend to
interfere with their rights. The
LIBERAL is very glad 10 read this
statement, and sincerely hopes Mr
Lyons means what be SAYS. But when
with this statement is taken into con
sideratlon the facts that Mr.. Lyons
would not let the farmers accompany
the surveyor he had down there at
work, and refused to let one we'll
known citizen follow the surveyor
when he was on what he had always
considered his OWE land; and the
further fact that Mr.. Lyons right
hand man rides through that quiet
farming community, carrying a shot
gun and a rifle on either side OF his
saddle, aud a six. shooter on each hiT
and an armed ranger on each side, the
statement may be take with a grain Of
salt. Mr.. Lyons reputation as a de
fender OF the laws, al a peaceable and
quiet man, aud as q good citizen is sc
we'll established in this county thai
comment on It is unnecessary. Re
garding the claim he makes thai
some of the farmers are on his land II
q greater or less extent there may h'
an open question, a question for th'
courts to decide. 1t is a notorious
fact that the original surveys, wher
the land was sectiOnized % the river
and 10 many other parts Of southern
New Mexico, were faulty but because
Mr.. Lyons went IN there with a sur
.n.or rrhoco communication ag a deDull
