Souss and Ms Bsnd.

Sousa received his entire musi-
cal education in the United States,
in fact in his native city of Wash
ington, ID. c., which was perhaps
lucky for him, as the "March
King" is certain the only American
composer whose originality is un-
disputed. He is a great believer
in the musical future of America
and never overlooks an opportunity
OF helping the cause of good
music in his country. The Ameri-
can composers programmes which
he played in Europe on several oc-
casions were dignifed and credit
able, and elected critical approval.
Sousa is doing wonders in develop
ing the American school of instru
mentalists, the majority Of his
great band now being young, am
bilious, brainy musicians of native
birth. This will be surprise to
those who imagined that the mem
bership Of such an organization
must necessarily be composed al
most entirely OF foreigners. This
representative American band will
give concert at the La unta
Theatre, Friday evening, October
3Ist. Seats are now on sale at
the City Pharmacy. First floor,

Murder Most Fovl.

A female infant, not more than
forty-eight hours old, that had
been toully murdered, was found
in a "water hole" in the Arkansas
river, about six miles east of La
Iunfa, and one mile north OF the
Santa Fe track, last Friday. The
discovery was made by Charles
Hall. Of this city, who had been
hunting ducks in that vicinity.
The "water hole" was located on
the opposite side of the river from
where the stream flowed, the hole
being partly covered by the trunk
OF a tree. II was the merest acci-
dent that Hall made the discovery,
but his attention was attracted by
what appeared to be = bundle Of
clothes. Closer inspection reveal
ed the fact that the "bundle" was
a fully developed infant enclosed
in a woman's calico wrapper.
Hall Immediately came to town
and informed Sheriff Barr, and the
following morning the sheriff ac-
companied by Coroner Green,
Undertaker Thompson aud Hall
went out there and brought the
body in to town. The left ear Of
the infant was lacerated and torn
and the head bruised, the injury
probably having been inflicted by
some blunt instrument.
Coroner Green impanneled a
jury last Saturday afternoon. and
the jury, after viewing the remains,
adjourned until Friday, October
7@th at p. m. The officers have
as yet been unable to find q clew
leading to she discovery of the in.
human parents. The body Of the
infant vas buried last Sunday

Otsro Canal Sold.

The Otero canal was sold at the
court house in Denver last Satur-
day morning, and as there were no
offers for the property the canal
passed into the hands of the bond
holders. Foreclosure was taken
on unpaid bonds to the amount of
S25, 900, one of the principal
holders OF the bonds being Judge
Berry.
The canal was subsequently pur-
chased from the bondholders by
the La Junta Irrigation Company,
a corporation recently organized,
and which will hold the canal
property in trust for the Otero Ir-
rigation District, the latter not
having as yet effected the sale OF
the bonds recently voted.

The city council met in regular
session Monday night, Mayor

Neen and Draper being in at
tendance.
A petition, numerously signed,
was read, requesting the city
fathers to remove the mouth of the
sewer from it's present location to
a point further down the river. The
atmosphere in the vicinity of the

with seventy and seven distinct
and separate smells at the present
time.
The petition Of ]. II. Simonton
for permission to remove his
grocery store into the street at the
southeast corner of Colorado ave
nue. and Granada street, while his
new building is being erected, was
referred TO special committee
consisting of McNeen, Draper

The city clerk was instructed to
transfer the drAy license of d.
Yowier to Thomas S. Jackson.

The bill OF c. c. Weatherby,
amounting to S74, for putting

house park was allowed, and his
proposition to attend to the lawn
for an additional thirty days for
the sum Of S37 was accepted.
The city clerk was instructed to
notify the city attorney to prepare
an ordinance regulating the ped
ding Of artesian water within the
city limits. The present ordi-
nance was declared invalid by
Judge Wallis in the county court.
and since that time Mr.. Best has
