JUNE TERN OF DISTRICT COURT.
A Large Amount Of Business Trans.
acted at the June Term Judge
Parker Tried Many Cases In less
Than Two Weeks.

The June session of the District
Court which was in session when we
went to press last week, has done more
business than any term ever held in
our county. The following is a sum-
mary Of the proceedings, in brief as
we have not space tie give details as to
individual cases; The case of Territory
VS. Eugene B. Hulen brought from
Dona Ana, on change Of venue was con-
tinued; in the case of Territory VS.
Childers, change of venue to Sierra
county was granted, two cases Of Ter
ritory VS. A. NJ. Little for illegal rent
ing houses for purposes Of prosiitu-
tion, he was convicted on one count
and Piled guilty on another; ]. Ro-
gers was convicted Of Burglary and
sentenced to nine months in the peni-
Tertiary; Eugenio OrOno convicted of
attempt to commit rape, was sentenc-
ed to four years in the territorial ms
titution. A number of civil matters
were disposed off, but as none of them
were Of general interest we will not
mention them separately
As the work Of the Grand Jury was
especially complete we will give their
report to the court at the conclusion of
their work which will explain itself.

Sir
We the Grand Jurors for Luna

fully submit to you, our report.
We have examined diligently into
all offenses committed against the Ter.
ritor5 in this county. We have found
after examining the evidence given be-
fore the committing Magistrate, and
subsequently corrOborated before this
body forty two true bills. We have
found after examining the evidence
that sufficient facts were not shown
to justify conviction before a trial
jury, therefore have respectfully re-
ported. No bills, four.
We have examined into the books OF
the various county Offices, and here

Laid to rest.

Last Friday the mortal remains OF
Leon Smith, brother Of Mrs, C. H.
Brown, Of this city, whose tragic death
in Ell Paso, we mentioned in last weeks
Graphic, were laid to rest in the Dem
ing cemetry. From the report of the
circumstances given by his relatives
who went to FL Paso to investigate the
matter It appears that the young life
was sacrificed to the carelessness of the
trolly car motorman, as there was
plenty Of time for the car to be stop
ped after seeing a man on the track If
he had been watching as he should and,
it will probably never be known whether
he fell in trying to get out of the way
or was knocked down by the car which
was running at high rate Of speed.
The bereaved relatives have the sympa-
thy Of the community in their time of
trouble.
