Here Mr.. Dorsey layishly expended
money to beautify the place. On the
grounds he built an artificial cement
lagoon two hundred feet long, neal
which stands a picturesque fountain
carved Of brown stone.

spending some time treating tubercu

seriously injured if not killed, during
Saturday evening at Santa Fe. Some
one standing in front of the Old Pal
ace, fired a sky rocket, the course Of
which detected after it had gone M
a short distance. The rocket shot
downward and passed %squarely over
the little Mckinley baby's shoulder,
within six inches of his face. He
was in a go-cart and Mr.. and Mrs,
Mckinley were standing near. The
rocket was sputtering sparks and the
boys hat was burned in several
places by these but the child was not
hurt. The rocket on striking the
ground scurried along for several
feet and caused a flutter among those
who had gathered there.

all of whom were intoxicated, rode
into the pueblo and tried to take part
in the festival. They grew boisterous
and attempted to break up the cere-
monies and seemed anxious to precip-
itate a fight. The Lagunas grew tired
of this and tied many of the Navajos
UP until the exercises were over. This
greatly angered the Navajos, and they
vowed vengeance on the first Laguna
Indian they should find, man, woman
or child. A few days later two Nav
ajos rode to the pueblo and learned
that Jose Ensino, a rich and influen'
tial Laguna Indian. had gone to his
corral. They followed him there and
met him as he was starting home
One road on each side Of him, and
as they rode along beat him with the
ends of their quirts that are loaded
with lead. Ensino rode rapidly to gel
away from them, but was unable to dc
so, and they beat him until he fell
from his horse. They then left him
Ensino got up, walked a short dis
lance and then fell, where he died
soon afterwards. The evidence Is
conclusive and the Navajos are
known.
