Indians Wage War.

a special to the Albuquerque Citi
zen dated June 80 says that some Ma
vajo Indians on the night of June 2!
went to the Paguate Indian pueblo
and bloody fight followed.
The Navajos we're intoxicated anG
rode into the Paguate Indian pueblo
with the intention of wiping the vii.
lage off the earth. Their Paguate
brothers fought like demons, and the
Navajos retreated after all kinds Of
threats had been made.
Yesterday afternoon the body of Jos
Ensino, an Indian of some wealth,
was found at the bottom of a deep ar
roya three miles from Laguna. The
body was all marked up, it having
been beat with stones and clubs. The
trail leading up to the arroyo showed
that the murdered man had been rid
ing with two others, and If they<were
from Laguna, they were probably
dealt with in the same mnaner. En-
sino had been missing since June 26,
and hundreds of his friends have been
searching for him. His horse return
ed with the saddle covered with
blood. The Indians here are excited
up to the upper notch, and they blame
the NavajOs and swear they will have
revenge.
There has been bad blood between
these two Indian tribes for a long
time. There are no new facts in the
case up to this afternoon.

VALUABLE FIND
IN CHICAGO MINE
George Wood Receives
Good News.
Cross Cut Exposes Tellurium Ore
in Two Hundred
Level.

Superintendent George Wood re-
ceived telephone message last even
ing from the Chicago mine, on Groom
Greek, that an important strike had
just been made in the property, and
one which makes him feel pretty
good. In sinking the working shaft
in the mine the ledge was lost at a
depth of about $50 feet ON account of
the ledge dipping at a slightly greater
angle than the shaft When the 200
level had been reached Mr. Wood in
structed the workmen to cross cut for
the ore body. This was done and
when shots we're fired last evening a
fine ore body was exposed at a dis
lance of only about seven feet in the
cross cut. Several large chunks of the
pearances the ore body had improved
considerably with the last 30 feet, or
since it had left the shaft. A very
important feature of the strike is that
the ore is of a tellurium character.
The same as it was above which indi-
Gates that this character of ore is a
permanent feature of the ore body.
Mr.. Wood left today for the mine to
personally inspect the find, but before
going he wired the good news to Chi
cago, to Mr.. Clark, who is one of
the principal owners of the property.

Secured the Best.

An American travelling in Europe
noticing that some of his fellow trav,
elers were receiving more considera
ton than he was at hotels and rail
roads ventured to consult a waiter OF

fence he said:
"Why is it," asked, THAT this

"Ah!" said the waiter, "they

that his daughter, Miss Cecilia Agard,

A Killing at Douglas.

A special telegram from Douglas to
the Los Angeles Times contains an
account of the killing in the border
town, on July 4, of desperate named
Bill Smith. The deed was committed
by Constable Date Graham. Some
time in May while Graham and Con-
stable Vaughn were attempting to ar
rest man the latter pulled his gun
and shot and killed Vaughn and
wounded Graham. The latter was in
the hospital until about July l. No
description was given of the man who
did the shooting, whereby he could be
identified but Graham said that if he
saw him again he could recognize
him. The man named Smith was seem
by him shortly after he got out of the
hospital and he made up his mind he
was the man he wanted. He followed
him into saloon and told him to
throw up his hands. Instead of doing
so the desperate attempted to draw
his gun but Graham anticipated his
movement by shooting him in the
neck from the effect of which he died
two days later. Graham is satisfied
that the man he killed was the muir
derer of Tom Vaughn. 1t is not even
known that the dead mans right name
was Bill Smith as but little was
known of him.

NAVAL PEACEMAKERS.

Under the above caption the New
York World expresses the opinion thai
since the best use that can be made OF
gunpowder is to burn it on the altal
of peace, the tons of ammunition that
have been destroyed in salutes by the
American and German squadrons al
Kiel have not been wasted. We may
hope. continues the World, that
they have ended the absurd tension
which mischief makers succeeded in
creating between two kindred nations
that have no reason to be anything
but the best of friends.
The exceptional hOnOrs paid by the
emperor to the American feet have
given the cue to the German newspa-
pers. They have forgotten their ad-
vice of few months ago to receive
our ships with cold formality, and
now are bubbling with enthusiasm
over the American sailors and their
vessels, which have passed through
the ordeal of fire and are in the first
rank of the navies of the world
1t all shows how much can be done
by little display of good will. AS a
rule, a nation, like an individual,
will get from the world just about the
kind of treatment it gives. 1t can
have friends or formal acquaintance
or enemies, just as it pleases. And a
''naval demonstration, according to
the spirit in which it is conducted,
can be made to promote one of these
ends or another.

Execution Date Fixed.

The indications are that Prescott
will have a hanging this month.
Judge Sloan has fixed the date of the
execution of the Goddard murderers
for July 81, and has ordered the sher-
if to execute them between the hours
of 10 a. m. and Il M. o'clock of that
day. The death watch was pat over
them several days ago. There is no
indication now that there will be any
interference with the administration
of justice in this case. Should they
be executed on the date set it will be
a new precedent in the criminal his
tory of the territory, as it usually
takes two or three years at best, and
in the greater number of cases the ex-
ecution never takes place. Should
anything interrupt the prompt execu-
ton of these cold blooded assassins it
would be a shame and disgrace to
the territory.

Gated to the Viennese Society of Phys

Will Raise Water Rate.

The city council has been in session
this afternoon struggling with the
water question. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the city has been losing
money on its water system for several
months-in fact it never has paid en-
penses at the present rate of 81 80
minimum for 1900 gallons of water.
The council is now preparing a new
water schedule which will be very
material advance over the present and
by which the council hopes to be able
to put the system on a paying basis.
The new rate will be 81 per month
minimum for 1000 gallons of water.
In other words the water consumer
will pay SOC per month more for 300
gallons less water. This seems pretty
tough but it looks like it is necessary
to keep the city from bankruptcy.

The Journal Miner fails to see any in
EQUITY in levying tribute on a citizen

maintaining the government. In Cal
