RICH PLACER GROUND

Tucumcari, New Mexico. Jan. 26.- The widest excitement prevails here as a result of the alleged discovery of rich placer gold on Revuelito creek, eighteen miles east of this town The town is demoralized. Business men are closing their stores and leaving for the new field and it is probable that there are already three hundred men on the ground Details of the find ale meagre as yet but it is said that nuggets as large as wheat grains are found in every pan and that there are fortunes in sight. The gold is found in black sand formation which exists for miles up and down the creek which is dry part of the year. par ty of miners who returned. from the field today say it is the best prospect they have ever seen. Their report has aroused the town and every man who can get away is headed for the supposed bonanza.

SENTENCED TO TOMBSTONE FOR
 MARRYING NEGRO.
White Man at Bowie Station Gets Six Months In the County Jail and Sep aration from His Bride.

Last Thursday J. J. Powell, (white) an6 Sis Hitchins (colored) were separated by law although married.
 The man was given six months in the county jail al Tombstone and the woman fined s25.
 They were residents of Bowie and the woman conducts a lodging house and restaurant at that place
 It seems that Powell and Sis Kitchens had. for some time previous to their arrest been living together ir open violation of the law Finally a little bird whispered in their ears thai they were to be prosecuted
 They pUt their heads and wits to gether in short order by going tc Lordsburg, New Mexico, where they were married and returned to Bowie somewhat better at ease with them selves.
 But they reckoned not with thei, host. The laws of Arizona prohibit. the marriage of whites with negroe: and il was shown to the satisfaction Of the court that the pair hac entered into collision by going to New Mexico and being married to evade the law.
 Had they been residents of New Mexico and were married and then re moved 10 Arizona the law would prob ably have not interfered.
