DISPUTED LAND.
Navajo's Consult With
Indian Agent.
Arizona Central Right Of
Way.
No Case Made Against the CONNER
cial Cable Company.
TWO WERE KILLED.

Special to The Citizen
Thoreau, N. M, March 27-Over 300
Navajo Indians are now in camp
around Thoreau awaiting the arrival of
Indian Agent Haslett from Fort Def
ance. A large number of the Navajos
have wandered from the reservation
proper and have settled on the lands
adjoining it within radius of twenty
five miles. On these lands they have
made water holes and in other ways
fitted them to suit their manner of life.
Of late the Mexicans and white men
have been encroaching on these lands
with their fiocks for purposes of graz
ing. Considerable friction has devel
oped between the Navajos and their
invaders and things have come to such
a pass that settlement of, the ques-
tion OF the right to the lands is imme-
diately necessary Major Haslett will
be called upon to decide whether or
not the Navajos shall return to the
reservation Vicente, chief of the Nav
ajos, claims that inasmuch as the lands
are unpatented they have a right to
them because of their long settlement
upon them. On the other hand, the
MeXicans claim that the Indians have
reservation which is abundantly able
to support them and their flocks; that
they have absolute rights there and
should return and live on what pa
ternal government has already provid-
ed them with.
Regardless of the decision of Major
Haslett there is likely to be stubborn
fight in the federal courts and the Mex.
leans will endeavor to ascertain just
what rights the Navajos have beyond
the limits of their reservation.
Chief Vicente is fine specimen of
Navajo, six feet and two inches in
height; weighing nearly 200 pounds,
and is "A years old. He has the unique
distinction of being the only Indian of
his tribe who has but one squaw. He
thoroughly understands his people, and
is very Jealous in preventing any en-
croachment on their rights. In speak
ing OF the subject in dispute Vicente
said: "Our people constructed two
lakes on these lands over twenty-five
years ago and since that time Inany
water holes. We are settlers on the
lands and feel entitled to these things.
We don't want trouble with the white
men, but simply want justice" When
asked if he thought there would be any
trouble about settling the controversy
Vicente replied: mo, | know Mr.. Has
lett will do what is right and that is all
my people want"
Chief Vicente has dispatched spe-
cial messenger to meet Indian Agent
Haslett at Fort Defiance. The mes
senger has authority 10 arrange the
preliminaries for an agreement be-
tween the agent and the Navajo coun
ell. Indications now point to an early
settlement of the land troubles be
tween the Navajos and the Mexicans
possibly within a week.

probably q week from tonight. A
game is being arranged between the
teams of the Albuquerque Guards and
the New Mexico University. Both
have strong teams and a good game is
expected. 1t will be played at Colon

Last night, the city democratic CEN
trail committee agreed upon the name
of George Fraser, foreman cf the San
ia Fe Pacific boiler shops, as that par
tvs candidate for member of the school
board for that ward. He has consented
and today is in the race. Up in the
Fourth ward. friends of w. w. McClel-
Ian, knowing that he can rustic, are
pressing his claims before the central
committee for candidate for school
trustee, but there are others who think
that IL. w. Hopkins, the republican
nominee, should have no opposition. 1t
is thought the democrats tonight will
decide on a candidate for school trus-
tee for the First ward.

IGNORES THEM.

TEN PER CENT INCREASE.

Washington, ID. c.. March 2S.-
The state department will take
no steps to bring to the atten-
tion OIL the Danish government the
charges against the integrity of the
American statesmen as preferred by
Christmas and yesterday brought to
the attention of the house of represen-
tatives. The department regards the
charges as unworthy of attention be-
cause of insufficient evidence and obvi-
Gus error in statements of alleged
facts. 1t is perfectly aware also that
the Danish government don't intend to
pay one cent of the 100000, claimed
by Christmas as a commission, so that
of course none of that money was used
to corrupt American statesmen and
newspapers.

BOUND OVER.
Charge of Forgery on Santa Fe
Check.

Check.
Jose Cleofer Gutierrez, a resident of
Barelas was bound over to the grand
jury this afternoon, in Justice Crol-
lofts court on the charge of being an
accomplice in the forging of a Santa
Fe Pacific check. His bond was fixed
at $500
On the morning of the 10th of jan
uary, Gutierrez, with another man, ap-
peared at the local Santa Fe depot and
asked for a check made payable to Per
felia Chavez. Chavez said that he
could not write and Gutierrez identi-
fed him. The afternoon of the same
day. the second and real Perfelia
Chavez showed up to get his check.
The forgery was Immediately discov-
cred and the check was found at Harry
Wieller's store on First street.
The facts were put in the hands of
the officers and today, Ben Williams,
special officer for the Santa Fe, and a
deputy secured a clue that led to the
arrest of Gutierrez.
The check was for S25.05. The evil
dence against Gutierrez, as brought
out at the trial, is very strong and it is
very likely he will get few years.

CLAYTON TRAGEDY.
John R. Guyer, Postmaster, Killed
His Assailant, W. { SearIes.
HE ESCAPED UNINJURED.

The little town of Clayton, in Union
county this territory, is greatly excit-
ed over shooting affray that occurred
about Wednesday noon. W. e. Searles.
jeweler, VISA shot and almost instant
ly killed by Postmaster John r. Guyer
in the postoffice, after desperate bat
tie.
Guyer. who is also editor of Ell Fenix,
a weekly newspaper at Clayton, pub
lished a story Objectionable to Searles
and his wife, and trouble had been ex-
pected between the two men for some
time. About noon Wednesday Searles
procured revolver and went to the
postoffice and called for some stamps.
When the postmaster turned around to
get the stamps Searles pulled his re-
volver and opened fire on him, firing
two shots but missing his man. Guyer
grabbed a Winchester that was handy
and shot at Searles, missing him the
first shot, but striking him in the leg
with the second. BY this time Searles
had reached the door and had one shot
still in his revolver. He fell out the
door on the sidewalk just as Guyer
fired the third shot which took effect
in his side, >inflicting a mortal wound.
Searles rolled off the walk into the
street and raising himself on his ell
BOWS, fired the last shot in his revolver
and fell over, expiring almost imme-
diately.
The coroner's jury brought in YER
dict that Searles came to his death
from a gunshot wound inflicted by
John r. Guyer. Guyer was arrested
Immediately after the shooting and
continued his work under guard of a
deputy sheriff. Later he was placed
under $4,000 bond for his appearance
before the grand jury. Both men have
families and nave lived here for num-
Der of years.
John r. Guyer, who committed the
murder, served his district in the lower
house of the territorial Legislature
about four years ago, and was quite
well known in the northern section of
| New Mexico. 1t is understood, from a
special dispatch to the Denver News,
that Guyer recently distributed pam
phlet among several friends rejecting
upon the characters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Searles. especially that of the latter
and this pamphlet had been circulating
for some time before Searles received
copy of it,"

CLAIMS THE CRIME.
Colorado Convict Says Convicted
Man is Innocent.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 2S.-The
state supreme court today affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the
Lynch King murder case. Lynch King,
whose real name is Pagini was con-
victed of the murder of Col. Prowse,
a well known sporting character, in a
Salt Lake gambling house, in Septem-
ber, 1900. About two months ago a
convict in the Colorado penitentiary at
Canon City named Strange, made a
statement it was he and not King that
did the shooting and hard fight to
save Kings life has been made by the
Italian consul. A second application
for a new trial will now be made to
the lower court and, unless granted
the condemned man will probably be
shot in May.
