Special to the New Mexican.

Special to the New Mexican.
TERRA Amarillo, N. NJ, January 10th,
1904.-News has just reached here
from Coyote, in this county, that as the
result of an old feud, Solomon Trujillo
shot and killed Eligio Naranjo as they
came out of church about IL O'Clock on
Sunday the 10th instant. A woman
seems to be at the bottom of the trag-
edy. Both young men, it is reported,
had been enamoured of the same girl,
and had frequently quarrelled on that
account.
The recent snow storm which cover
ed all of northern New Mexico, came
as a great relief to good many sheep
men. About four inches of the beauti-
full snow covered the ground here and
about two inches as far west as Largo
in San Juan County. AS consequence
the sheep herds have scattered into
the mesas and hills and those that
hung onto the mountains skeedaddled
the very night of the storm lest they
would be snowbound. Sheep have sur
fered very little here, but west and
south sheeep owners are rather dis
pondent.
