ANCIENT RUINS WITHIN
EASY WALKING DISTANCE

But few, even of the old residents
OF Santa Fe, are aware that there
are two interesting ruins of prehis-
toric pueblos within easy walking
distance of Santa Fe. The farthest
is on the Arroyo Hondo, five miles
south OF Santa Fe, beautifully and
romantically situated on a high bluff
overlooking a vast extent of country
and in part excavated, and the other
four miles south of Santa Fe on the
Santa Fe River. just before reaching
Aqua Fria. This latter pueblo was
a very large one and the mound
which covers 1t can be traced along
the river bank for over mile, from
beautiful spring beneath some cot
tonwoods, to Aqua Fria where it ter
inmates in a bluff partly carried
away by the Santa Fe River and In
part excavated. At both places many
pieces of pottery of the corrugated,
the black and white, the glazed, red
and the red and black varieties can
be found.
In fact, the pieces Of pottery can
be found even as near to Santa Fe
as the r. M. Jones' ranch and exca
vations would undoubtedly show thai
pueblo dwellings stood in prehistoric
times all along the western bank ol
the Santa Fe River from the cit,
boundaries to Aqua Fria.

Scene of Crime.

San Francisco, Calf, May AT 6
O'Clock this morning Walter Chiefly

shot and killed a family of six persons
with whom he resided on Pierce Street
in this city. The dead are:
Orson Bush, wife and young son
w S. Beard
NJ E. linton
Mrs. Lillian D. CarotherS.
Davis and his victims all resided in
the same house which was conducted
by the Bush family. The shooting was
done with a double-barrel shot gun.
Davis was overpowered by people from
outside of the house as he was pre-
pairing to reload his gun.
The only lodger in the house who es-
capped was a young girl Of seventeen
years. Davis pointed his gun at her
and was preparing to shoot when he
said that she resembled his daughter
so he spared her life.
He is now in Jail
Does Not Realize Crime.
When the police got the murderer
to the detention hospital he was placed
in straight jacket and put in cell.
He seemed to have no realization of
what he had done and merely said
that he had been much worried.
Mrs. Bush received last Sunday from
Davis the following note, which gave
her premonition of the tragedy:
You have killed my sons and my
nephews, but you have not all of them
yet. You expected to kill me tonight
Perhaps III kill myself"
