dunia shot and instantly killed Fusto
Salas, on the ranch of Auto Atencio,
on the Florida mesa, about twelve
miles below Durango. The shooting
was done with a revolver. One of the
bullets entered the center of the chest
and came out through the back, sew
ering the spinal column. Another bull
let entered the head just under the

Immediately after the shooting Gar

claims, to give himself up. He was
arrested about a mile below town still
carrying the weapon, which had been
reloaded.
Gardunia claims that the cause OF
the shooting was that Salas had in
formed him that he (Salas) was going
to have Cardinals wife, which state
ment. it is alleged, was backed up
by the woman.
The woman and another witness
claim that in quarrel between Gar
dunia and the woman the former

Sensation in Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-A profound sensa,
ton has been created among ranch
men and stockmen, not only of Wyom-
ing. but of Colorado and other west
ern states, by the official announce
ment just made here by FL. II.
Schwartz, chief of the field division OF
the United States General Land Office,
that hereafter 1t would be the policy
of the government to proceed crimi-
nally rather than by civil suits in al
legged illegal fencing cases.
For the past three years investiga-
tions of illegal fences have been going
on in western states. Numerous or
ders have been issued, the stockmen
have been granted extensions of time
in which to remove their fences, and,
during the past six months, during
which tile investigation has been car
ried on in earnest, a large number OF
civil suits have been instituted. He
gal fencers have come to regard this
as the only course to be adopted by
the government and where fences
have been removed and civil suits have
been started the suits were dismissed.
Now, like bombshell. comes the
announcement of Schwartz. who is at
the head of all of the special agents
of the land office. that twelve crimi-
nal cases are now ready to be pre-
scented to the next federal grand jury
In Wyoming, and that seventy-five
more are in course of preparation.
Who the defendants will be is gov
eminent secret which the officials are
religiously keeping, but it is certain
that they will include many of the
most prominent residents of Wyoming
and that the next session of the federal
grand jury in Cheyenne will be the
most sensational ever held here.

THE FIRST STATE CAPITAL.
Old Timer Gives Some Early History
Of Colorado.

The following letter recently APP
pearing in the Denver Times furnishes
.ome very interesting data concerning
pioneer history OF the state. The let
ter reads:
Touching the question OF moving the
old Chinese laundry from Colorado
City to Denver as capitol relic, allow
an old settler to give an item or two
of history, wherein he was partici-
pant.
The building that John Chinaman
has occupied for many years as a
washee-washee house is not and never
was any part of the legislative cabins
or capitol buildings. Said cabin was
erected and occupied by DIR. James
Garvin, the first physician who 10

same wagon. train and at the same
time that the undersigned crossed. in
search of gold.
When the Legislature convened at
Colorado City in 1861 1t was in compll-
ance with statute passed by the first
session of the same Legislature
which session was held in Denver, in
pursuance of the command of the en-
abling act" of Congress.
This second session convened at
Colorado City, the capital, and the
lower house of representatives. asse M

M. Francisco of Fort Garland for a

was called, held its sessions in a
kitchen or wing of Mrs. Maggard's no.
tel on Center street, about three
! blocks distant.
That building was log house, but
has long since been used for firewood.
Mr.. Francisco was a member of the
council from Conejos county, and the
writer was member of the lower
house or representative from Ell Paso
county, and should therefore be quail
fed to state the facts of history accu-
rately.
The Legislature was in session only
about four days at Colorado City,
when it adjourned to Denver for the
balance of the session on the ground
that the capitol was deficient in ac-
commodations and that the then Gov
| ernor Evans refused to remove the
records of his office or to come himself
to the capitol, ana majority of the
Legislature agreed with him and adj
journed the balance of the session TO
Denver, having been at Colorado City
four days.
During that session the capitol was
removed to Golden City. and at the
following session the capitol was To-
Gated permanently at Denver
Such is the history of the capitol af-
fair at Colorado City, and of the CAPT
tol buildings. There are yet three OF
four people living at Colorado City
who can testify to these facts. A. u
Sheldon and Anthony Bot are two OF
themS
Colorado City was at that time the
home and play ground of thousands OF
antelope, and none of us in our widest
hope ever dreamed of city, or even
a village being located there.

Senator Borah said he was ready to
admit that Haywood was shrewd, keen
and possessed of brains.
"Of course he has brains," he ex-
claimed; "he had brains enough to

FUR THIS YEAR IS

Local MineSr On Their Show ing for 1906, Will Pay On
 Over $5,000,0 900,

Assessor Howe, who was in the city yesterday, stated that before the close Of the week he would have completed the assessment of the large mining companies of the county. Yesterday
 MT. Howe spent the day in company with Assistant Superintendent Trench making up the assessment of the Cop. per Queen company, and went tc Douglas last evening where the final assessment will be entered, today. The mines of the Copper Queen Company will be assessed at approxi- mately $3.25O,OOO for, the year 1907 on basis of production of GS ,OO0. : 0G0 pounds of copper for the year 1906. The total output of the Copper Queen smelters for the year 1906 is returned at 96,000,OO0 pounds, but from this production is deducted the custom ores treated from other mines
 in Cochise county and adjoining coun- ties. The report made to the asses sOr shows that the Copper Queen companies extracted and treated ores from the Copper Queen company
 mines, which when converted into | copper bullion, had cash value of S13, 3,O00, 900. One-fourth of this amount, which is based on the New
 York price of copper, is taken by the | assessor as the basis of taxation, which for the Copper Queen compa- ny amounts to $3,25O,0O0.
 The Calumet & Arizona and Supe- rioT & Pittsburg companies produced in round numbers SS,5O0 900, and will be assessed at approximately s2,125,- 900 and the Tombstone Consolidated company in this county will be on the tax rolls for S25O, ,00O.
 The largest increases in the assess ment of mining companies in this county, under the operation of the DO- ran Mine tax law, will apply to the CalUmCt 6 Arizona and Tombstone Consolidated. Last year the Calumet & ArizCEG. raid taxes on valuation of $3Og,G ,Gee, and the Tombstone Con solidated cn SI9.(G2.
 In addition to the above assess ment, which applies c-ly to the pro- ducing mining claims, an additional assessment will be made of the smell ters. machinery and all other personal property owned by the companies, which shodld materially increase the above figures. E
 The assessment of all property in Cochise county will end on the first Monday in June, and judging from the mining companies, under the new law, Cochise County will have a re- markable increase in taxable wealth.
