Tuesday and Wednesday.

der OF Frank watkins IN the
lower Animas Valley in the
southwestern part of Grant
county, were had before Justice
of the Peace, William II. New
comb, in Silver City, commencing
Tuesday morning and being con-
cluded Wednesday morning. The
result OF the examination was the

to await the action of the Grand

torneys James S. Fielder and j.
r. Waddill, of Deming. Attor-
neys J. B. Hamilton and A. A.
Temke, of Deming, appeared for
the defendants.
All Of the te. t'mony introdu:-
ed was on behalf of the Terri
tory, the defendants not pre-
senting their side Of the case.
The witnesses for the prosecu-
ton who testified were Messrs.
Miller, Cox, Good and Stidham.
Their testimony in a general way
went to show that there had been
bad feeling between the princi-
pals in the tragedy for some
time past.
The facts as shown at the
preliminary hearing briefly stat
cd are about as follows:
Gibson and Ingram are
brothers-in-law; Watkins and
Stidham were partners in the
cattle business. Joe Good had
traded some horses to Gibson for
hogs, which were running loose.
Watkins and Stidham also had
hogs running loose in the same
section of country. On the day
before the killing, Watkins and
Stidham, Joe Good, a man by the
name of Miller, and Ingram were
all engaged in rounding up the
hogs for the purpose Of branding
and dividing them. Quite 6
number of hogs were rounded
up and penned on this day, anC
the parties separated with tht
understanding that they were t
meet next day at the hog pen ant
brand out and divide the hog
already gathered and such other,
as could be found. The partie
above mentioned had been a
work branding the hogs fo
about an hour and had beel
Joined by Mr.. Cox, when som
one in the party discovered
man sitting down on the groun
among the rocks about a hundre
yards away from the hog pc
and asked who was that. In
gram said that was Gibson. II
about half an hour the work o
branding hogs was completed
and Mr.. Miller went up to wher
Gibson was among the rocks an
began talking to him about
trade they had on hand. Gibso
asked Miller if Watkins an
Stidham were both down thel
at the hog pen. Miller told hi
they were. Gibson then said, :"
either one of them makes
crooked move | will kill both
them." Gibson was on Il
ground a few feet away fro
his horse. Gibson was arm,
with a six shooter on his perst
and a Winchester rifle on h
saddle. Ingram also had
six shooter and rife, About fl
minutes after Gibson made {
above remark to Miller, Watki

marks he, Gibson, had be

Mrs. Jane Blake, who has been sick in
bed since last September, passed away last
Tuesday. Miss Jane Welch was born in
Canada seventy-two years ago and lived
there until about sixteen years ago, when
she came into this country and has lived
here nearly all the time since. Fifty years
ago she was married to Jamss E. Blake.
Since coming to Vermont she has lived
with her children, much of the time with
| her son Fred @. of this place, in whose
family she was living when she died. For
MANY years she has been one of the great
est of sufferers with infammatory rheuma-
tism, and for twelve years she has not TAX
en- step. Much of this time she has been
about the house in a wheel chair and has
done good deal of work, and this work
has been done under the most painful dis
advantages. Her finger joints were out of
| place, her knees drawn up to her body, and
considera BILE of this time she has suffered
excruciating pain. But during all this she
has exhibited the most remarkable pa
tience and Christian resignation. With q
smiling face and cheerful words she has
greeted all who called on her. She was q
conscientious Christian and many years q
member of the Advent church. She was
perfectly familiar with the Bible, reading
it daily as long as she could hold the book
in her hands and later getting her grand
children to read it to her. Though never
complaining her prayer has been that God
would take her home. She leaves her hus-
band, James <. Blake, three sons, Jane!
of Canada, Charles of Derby and Fred @
of this place. She also leaves three broth
ers, Joseph Welch of Canada, Cyrus Welct

A MonderfuI Fish.

The Bohcunans have proyerb, "Er- cry fish has another for prey" The wells (siluru9 has them all. This Is the largest fresh water fish found in the rivers of Europe except the stur- geon. It often reaches five or six feet In length. It destroys many aquatic birds. and we are assured that it does not spare the human species. On the 3d of July. 17OO a peasant took one near Thorn that had an Infant entire in its stomach. They tell in Hungary of children and young girls being de yourpd on going to draw water and they even relate that on the frontiers of Turkey a poor fisherman took one that had in It's stomach the body of a woman. her purse containing gold and a ring. The fish Is even reputed to have been taken sixteen feet long.

FEARFUL ITCHING
 BURNING SORES
Boy in Misery F Years Eczema Spread Over Body in Rough Scales, Cracked, Infamed, and SwOIIen-CaSe Pronounced Incur able, but Completely Cured by Two Sets of Cuticura Remedies.
HIS SKIN NOW FINE
 AND SMOOTH AS SILK

"I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put stop to twelve years of misery ] passed with my son. As an infant ] noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger l put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day ig would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, ufamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When l think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard downstairs. The suffering of my son made the full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could ] sleep.
 One doctor told me that my sons eczema was iuCuTGble, and gave it up for O bad job. One evening l saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
 "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when ] had used the first box of Ointment there was Q great improvement and by the time l had used the second set of Cuti- Curu Soap, CutICura Ointment. and Cuti- CUra Rcsolyeut my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smOCthas silk. Michael Stein man, Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. r., April l6, 1905.

IN AND OUT .STILL GOOD
Dawson Continues to b.
 Excellent Camp

The old idea that Dawson has seen It's bes, days and will soon become a back number among the mining camps of the North is erroneous, 9 says W. B, King, who returned last night from 8 trip to that place. He says the White. just passed has given good returns to the business men there, and that the camp is improving.
 "Oas business maa, " said Mr King
 told me hat he did better business last Winter and this Spring than ha d.d the year previous. This merchant said the idea usually prevailing that Jae introduction Of big mining compan ies with ller own stOrehouses, would put the merchants dependlng upon the pubic for patronage out of business, is all wrong.
 Mir. King says it will be impossible Jo make an estimate of the gold output for the year until the government makes its report on the royalty collec- J.ous or the transportation companies complete their seasons work, for the reason Una, the large companies are not making their business public, refusing Go answer questions that were free y ADS" cred by the Individual miner in the early days.
