Special to the New Mexican.
Torrance, N. M Sept. 12.-Juan Ar
mente was killed late last night at
Duran by being struck over the head
with some blunt instrument, probably
an iron bar. Robbery is supposed to
be the motive as the old man had
about $50 on his person before the
murder.
He had been employed by John Pi-
mental sheep raiser near Encino,
on the line of the Santa Fe cut off
as cook. He quit the evening before
to come to Santa Fe on business and
was waiting at Duran for the train to
take him to Torrance. He had been
drinking freely during the evening
with number of strangers in the sa-
loon and exhibited his money to some
of his new friends arousing their
cupidity to the extent of exciting them
to murder. Deceased was a soldier
during the Civil War, having served
in the regiment of Kit Carson who
often and befriended him. Since then
he has been employed by several peo-
pie in Santa Fe and vicinity as cook.
AS yet there is no clew to the assassin.
