Los ALAM0S.
The Drouth Is Playing Havoc With the Crops-The Cse-
braton of ST. James and Santa Annals Day.

Special Correspondence New Mexican.
Los Alamos, San Miguel county, N.
M, July 81, 1902.
st. James day and Santa Annals day
was celebrated here in the usual manner
by running the chicken" brutal sport,
and generally ending up in free for all
fight. Luckily no one was hurt except
the poor roosters that are usually pulled
apart alive. 1t would be a human act
to stop this sport by the enactment of a
law prohibiting it.
The county is still suffering from
drouth We will haye very little, If any,
grain crop of any kind and If it does not
rain soon there is very little hope for
hay or alfalfa. A very light first crop
has been cut and there are no hopes of
second crop yet as the alfalfa was
whipped down by the hail storm of
week ago.
Sheep and cattle are so far doing well
and holding out good under the condi-
tions. The lamb crop did not exceed so
per cent, sheep are suffering from scab
on account of the dry weather apd many
have not dipped on account Of scarcity
of water and range. All will be well for
the sheep If 1t rains soon.
William Frank has built an addition
of two rooms and bath room to his
commodious house here necessitated by
the growth of his family. The addition
to the house Is OF brick and plastered to
correspond with the general appearance
of his residence.

Quite a fair crowd turned out yester-
day afternoon to the ball game to see
the contest between the local teams,
and, on the whole, a fair game was put
up The batteries were Gross and
Clark on one side and w. B. Twtchell
and Butterfield on the other On Gross
side the score was II and on Twitch-
ellis the score was 8. The side on
which Gross pitched was made up prin-
cipally of the regular team, but the
teams were divided up to make an even
game The surprise of the day was
Twitchelrs pitching, there being really
only three earned runs off his pitching
If he had had good support, he would
not pitched for years, but is an old
time ball player and can hold down a
regular game in the box if necessary.
There was a whole barrel full of err
rors, but there is undoubted talent in
the lot, and there will be splendid
team here. Next Sunday there Is
game on with the Albuquerque team,
and on August and 6, Lamar. Colo,
will play here. Las Vegas will un-
doubtedly have good ball from now on
and the team deserves united support.
The patent from the government for
the Tecolote grant has at last been re-
ceived here, and now number of our
mining men are on the anxious seat as
to how the matter of claims there will
be settled. The patent was granted in
1858, but has not been received here on
account of the money for the survey
having not been paid commission
of number of Tecolote's prominent
citizens We're elected some time ago to
settle the survey and patent matter,
and now report success. The disposi-
ton of the land is now the question. A
large amount of the land comprised in
the grant has already been taken up
by claims and homestead entries but
their title is more or less in doubt, and
it is quite possible that considerable
litigation will result. In 1872 congress
passed an act allowing the election of
a commission to settle the matter of
the grant and that seems
to hold good as an act passed by the
territorial legislature some time ago
setting forth that the court should ap-
point that commission was nullitied by
the supreme court leaving the matter
where congress placed it, to the cleo
tion of a commission by the citizens
resident on the grant. The latter mode
of procedure seems to be the most pop
ular with many of the people interest
ed in getting the partition settled. and
will probably hold. 1t is to be hoped
that it will soon be settled, as the de-
lay in partitioning and the question of
titles is holding back greatly the de-
velopment of the mines on the ground
in question.

nero picked up a rock and with it hit !
Seba who fell, then rose and started to |
run down the hill along the wire fence |
Romero caught up with him and stabb-
ed him four or five times and then
hurled more stones at him. Seba fell
to the ground and either dragged him
self or was dragged through the wire
fence. Romero laid the head of the
big rock and with another rock pound
ed the left side of his head to IL jelly.
Romero returned home and told his
wife that he had killed Seba and
missed his aim. A short time afterward
gave himself up to Justice of

Charles w. Spalding, formerly treas
urer Of the University of Illinois and
