LAS VEGAS GRANT.

The grant trustees met today at
their Office over the First Nat onal
bank, all the trustees being present
except Don Eugenio Romero, who IS
;fCwn on the Santa Fe Central look
ing after his tie contracts.
The board has been making streil-
uous efforts to stop tie and timber
cutting in the river canons and their
tributaries. SO as to preserve the tim
ber at such places from destruction.
The board of trustees believes that
one Of the best methods whereby i'm
migration can be made more e9active,
lis to protect the forests along the
streams. This will shade the SHOWS
of winter and hold back the waters and
thus lengthen the irrigation season. A
royalty is now being charged on all
ties an dtimber cut on the grant, to
accumulate a fund to defray the eX-
pense of procuring patent for the
grant 1t is the intention of the trust
ees as soon as practicable to take up
the case of the several settlers and
perfect the titles OF the various occu-
pants Of lands within the grant. Res
olutions were passed TO-DAY to pro-
hibit further fencing of unoccupied
parts of the grant land. Steps were
also taken to prevent outside people
from grazing their herds Of cattle Or
sheep within the grant lines,
without permission. Gradually sys-
TEN Of rules is being adopted SO as
70 preserve this valuable property
for the community of Las Vegas.

A sheep man talking to an Optic re-
porter today made two important
statements. He said there would be a
bigger sprig wool clip than ever be-
fore and that the prices Of wool were
bound to be better than for several
years. The gentleman admitted there
hadbeen losses among the sheep men
the northern part of the territory,
md to some extent in other localities,
3ut taking the territory over. sheep
had wintered WELL On none of the
ranges had grass been scanty and for
twenty years there had not been such
spring ranges. what losses had oc-
cured were the result of the cold
which had been much more Intensive
han usual But the fresh, young
grass watered by abundant rains and
SHOWS had started early and even the
sheep that had come through this,
were now doing finely. As very few
lambs were sold out of New Mexico
last eyar, the losses would be more
than made good, and the herds would
be larger than ever before, the ris-
ing market both for sheep and wool,
the gentleman said, was the result
of the increased demand, the newt
able effect of the reaction from low
prices that have prevailed for. several
years.

JAMES HOWARD TESTIFiES
IN HIS OWN Behalf

FRANKFORT, KY, April 49,
James Howard was called as the first
witness for the defense in his trial
today for the murder of Governor
GOebel. He testified to arriving here
shortly before the shooting. He re
peated his former testimony that he
was in the Board of Trade hotel when
he heard the shooting and that he had
not previously that day visited the
state house grounds. His defense is
alabi, and in support of this he gave
the alleged movements of himself
about the hotel from the time of his
arrival until after the shooting. . He
denied that he knew Taylor, Culton
or Goebel. The witness also denied
emphatically that he ever saw Henry
Youtezy until he met him in Jail, and
he denied positively and emphatically
that he ever received letter from
Governor Taylor or did any of the
things to which YOutezy testified.
Howard had not concluded his story
when the court took recess.

KILLS HUSBAND AND
THEN COMMITS SUICIDE.

PUEBLO, Colo, April 18.-Homer
H. Haycock, formerly special police
man In Denver, and his wife, Eva Hay
cock, were found dead in room at
9, and Victoria streets at 1870 today,
each with a 38-calibre pistol wound
in their heads. From the position of
the bodies, it would seem that the
woman had shot the man and then
turned the weapon on herself, as she
had the revolver in her hand when
found. They came here from Segundo,
Colo, two weeks ago. The woman
was working in the Colorado laundry
and was sent for by her husband about
8 o'clock. They were heard quarrel
ing and shortly afterward three shots
were fired. No cause is yet learned.

JEFFERSON CITY, April 1s.-It is
only matter of conjecture as to who
were indicted here by the grand jury
last night in connection with the leg
islative bribery charges. Sheriff
Smith is out OF the city, and his re-
turn is watched with interest, for he
will serve the warrants. The grand
jury will report late this afternoon,
and it is said on authority that four
more indictments will be returned for
bribery, and these will probably be
against state senators, two of whom
live in st. Louis. These indictments
will be in connection with the alum
Legislation. Judge HAZEL today took
under advisement the cases Of Page
and HickOx, who refused to state to
the grand jury from whom they re-
$1,000 and $500 until April 81, to which
date he will adjourn court today.
