Four Of a Kind.

The Justices court of this precinct
was the center of interest all day Mon
day. Robert Harrington, of the firm
Of Harrington & Coleman, cattle rais-
ers Of this county, was up before the
justice on two charges Of graud lar.
ceny Of cattle, the specifications being
the killing of one heifer belonging Ia
Hannigan & Biggs, and three head Of
stock, the property of George B. Wat
kins, whose ranch adjOins that of Mr..
Harrington short distance south OF
Deming. James S. Fielder appeared
for the defense and Attorney Pollard
for the territory. The testimony was
sufficiently strong against the defend
ant to warrant Judge Pennington II
sending both cases to the grand jury
The bond of the defendant was fixed Al
$500 and was filled promptly and Mr.
Harrington released from custody. Foul
charges for misdemeanors have beer
made against Mr.. Harrington, all o.
which, however, are so closely con
nected with the two main charges as h
seem a part Of the same offense. Thes,
cases will come up for trial today.

verdict of death at the hands Of
Deputy Muse and stated that the kill
ing was justifable. Muse testified
that he believed his life to be in dam
ger when he fired, and his testimony
was corrobOrated by those present.
The officer will be given q preliminary
examination Tuesday and there is every
reason to believe that he viii be exon
Grated at that hearing. Muse was per-
fectly cool and collected during the
trouble. He says that the men were
attacking him and he acted in self de-
fense. At the time he was under the
impression that Portilp' s, brother was
a third aggressor, but it seems that
his presence was due TO a desire to
keep his brother out Of trouble and he
made no move against the officer.
Portilla and Mendoza were buried to-
dav, the former in Pinos Altos, his for
mer home, and the latter here.
Portillo was about Is years old and
has been a resident Of Grant county
since boy. He lives in PinOs Altos,
but has recently been at Santa Rita,
where he was in the employ Of the
Santa Rita Mining company. He was
a large sized man, and physically much
superior to Muse. He is married, but
at present is not living with his wife.
Mendoza was about SO years old, and
was employed on one Of the leases. He
was unmarried and had not been in
the country long, having come here
from Old Mexico.
Public opinion in the camp is with
the officer. There is some feeling
among the Mexican people over the af.
fair, but those who are familiar with
the circumstances admit that the kill
ing, while deplorable was justifable. -

Mr.. Albright is now associated with
Deputy Incidence, Lee Herman in the
organization of Red Mems lodges in the

traordinary success in the institution of
a tribe in Silver City and from the
manner in which the citizens are con-
sidering tho popularity Of the order in
Deming, a very large membership
will be the result in this city.

For years the Deming Headlight has
been the most bitter foe that the L" re-
publican trusts" had to fight. Editor
Shakespeare has been after them, and
never let an issue Of his paper 90 to
press without dealing a mighty blow at
the lead trust, or the coal oil trust,
or the beef trust, or any old trust that
should show its head. The Liberal is
glad to note that change has come over
Editor Shakespeare. He is coming
moderiized, civilized, ifsuch an express
ion might be used, and it would not be
surprising if the Headlight should en-
roll under the republican banner. All
this was accomplished by Editor Rose,
the man from Cerrillos who recently es-
tablished the Graphic at Deming. Editor
Rose is a republican from the earliest
days. He is thoroughly at home at a
meeting of trust magnates. He and
John D. Rockefeller have often slept
n the same bed When he reached
Deming he had mission from John d.
and the Armours, and that was to con-
vert Shakespeare, the man they most
feared in all the broad land. Rose has
not been in Deming month, but he
has accomplished the errand that
brought him to the windmill city. He
and Shakespeare have formed little
trust Of their own, modelled on the lead
pipe cinch trust. They have met and
agreed, and now prices are the same tC
all who come. The trust has put 9
price on advertising and job work, anC
It makes no difference to the DemingitC
whether he goes to the Headlight Office
or the Graphic Office, he will have t
pay the sarle price for his goods. Tn,
conversicn is thorough and he is shame
less in mis- apostacy. The trust has pub
lished its scale of prices, and Shakes
peares name is signed to it. As sooI
as the news reached New York tn,
price of pig lead was advanced 25 cent,
per hundred pounds and Standard OF
stock went up eleven points on the curl
market. b. Y. McKeys writes, now tn,

The basket ball game played by the
members of the debating society last
Friday was one of the finest athletic
entertainments that has been given in
Deming for some time. The boys were
well drilled and played swift game.
Much enthusiasm was exhibited by the
friends of those playing, and they
cheered Justify when a good play was
made on either side.
At the close of the game the hall
was cleared and a dance given; fine
music was furnished and the young
folks passed a few hours in an enjoy
able manner and went home so well
satisfied that the success of the next
entertainment given by the society is
assured before hand.
In financial way the expectations
of the promoters of the undertaking
were fully realized, as they cleared
500, which amount is to be used for
books and other aids for fitting them
for the actual work of the society and
their next public meeting will doubt
less be a debate.

Santa Rita, April II. This camp was
the scene of double killing last even
ing in which two men, Francisco Por-
tillo and Guadalupe Mendoza, met their
death at the hands of H. E. Muse,
deputy sheriff. The men were shot
while resisting arrest, and the cOroner's
jury verdict generating the officer
from all blame.
The tragedy was the direct result of
the drunken conduct of the vic Tins.
The killing occurred just above the
concentration plant on the main road.
Portillo and Mendoza, with two com
panions, Manuel Roblero and Pillar
Gonzales, had been drinking pretty
freely, and during the day, in order to
add to their so-called pleasure, secured
a team and spent several hours driving
about the country tributary to Santa
Rita. The wagon and harness they
borrowed from Mariana lslas and the
horses from Julian Esquibal. In the
afternoon they went to Hanover and
Fierro and while at these places were
very boisterous in their behavior, dis
charging guns on more than one occa-
sion during the course of their ride.
When they returnedto Santa Rita, Mr..
lslas, learning of their doings and the
rough treatment which they had been
giving his outfit, went before the JUS
tice of the peace and swore out war.

found the men they were unhitching
the horse, near the home of Mr.. lslaS
and here they had been very profane IN
their talk TO some ladies who were
nearby.
Some conversation took place at this
point, the substance of which was that
the men were to consider themselves
under arrest and to be present at The
Justice of the peace court in the morn
ing for trial. Portillo and MendozI
were ugly their behavior and wer'

AS usual the ball game at the Mccoy
athletic park last Sunday was a good
one and we'll attended. The day was
all that could be asked and the players
did their best to put up a good exhi-
bition. The Yellow Kids were in prime
condition and made things warm for
the visitors.
The Lordsburg team are fine, gen
tlemanly set of fellows and their visit
was thoroughly appreciated by our
people who made every possible effort
to make it pleasant for them. While
the score was very unequal many good
plays were made by the visitors, and
the odds only serve to show the su-
periOrity of the Demings as ball players.
