JOHN HORTON HELD
BLAMELESSFOR
HIS ACTION
Further Details Of Killing by
Former albuquerque Man
Tend to ExOnerate Him.

From all that can be learned
Johnny" Horton, formerly of this
city, who Is said to have caused the
death Of a man named John Swanson
by an attack made on Swanson at
Williams, was more or less justified
In his action, and is generally exOner-
ated by the people OF that section. 1t
will be remembered that Swanson was
taken 10 Flagstaff, where he died
about five days afterward from cry
sipelas or blood poisoning caused by a
blow on the head inflicted by Horton.
The latter was held to the grand jury
and was promptly released upon giv-
ing bail
The Williams News thus gives the
story;
Swanson for some time past had
been rooming at the home of Hor-
ton. 1t Is alleged a few days prior
to the time when he was told to
leave he began coming home drunk
and persisted in being untidy and un-
eouth in his room. His actions were
tolerated until Monday. July 8, when
ne was told that he could not have
the room longer and not to come
back. on the night of the 9th, how
ever, drunk as usual, he returned to
the house and walked into the quar-
ters which he had been occupying
Mrs Horton, hearing him enter the
room. at once Informed Swanson that
he had been told to leave before and
that he could not stay. In a drunken
and sneering way he argued with Mrs.
Horton, and during the course of the
conversation made some insulting re-
marks. Mrs Horton left her house
and went in search of an officer.
About the same time some one
passing by heard of the trouble and
Immediately Informed Mr.. Horton Of
the conditions existing at home. Mr.
Horton hastened to his family and
found Swanson in bed. clothes, shoes
and all on, and Immediately proceed
ed to throw the man out necessarily
using sufficient violence therefor.

Carrizozo, N. NJ, July 19.-The en-

the past four weeks has been en-
gagged in locating the line for the great
pipe line which Is to carry water from
the Bonita river through the White
mountains to this place, for distribu-

the survey to Carrizozo from the river,
the heavier part of the work. Prelimi-

vey The work of the engineering
corps Is by no means complete as there
remains yet to be surveyed the pipe
lines from here to below Alamogordo
and north at or near Duran station,
tanks being set at various points along
the line where water is needed. The
railroad In addition to supplying Its
own needs will furnish water for the
town of Carrizozo. a benefit for which
the people of this place are very grate-
full. 1t Is difficult to comprehend the
enOrmity of this water supply project
until one has been over it and over the
big stretch OF country which 1t tra-
verses and the territory for which il
will furnish water The Bonito river
Is to be turned into the pipes carried
across or through a mountain range,
or at least considerable part, of one
and then distributed up and down the
railroad for many miles, supplying the
purcst kind Of water for almost a
whole division where now it is neces-
sary to depend on the alkali wells or
on water hauled in tanks behind the
engines.

ANIMAL PLAGUE ALONG
THE SOUTHERN BORDER
One Of Most Disastrous Epidcmlcs Of
Past Years Raging Among Arizona
and New Mexico Cattle.

A special to the Phoenix Republican
from Nogales, Ariz., says:
One of the greatest epidemics of the
year is now going on among the horses
and cattle Of Santa Cruz county, and
the loss is becoming very serious. The
trouble seems to be In some kind of 4
plant or weed which the horses eat
and being poisonous the result is many
animals are dying, In some cases over
40 per cent of the animals died The
matter was called to the attention Of
Forest Ranger Wilson, who has in
formed the agricultural department Of
the epidemic and a plant expert, DR..
Marsh, of Colorado, has been ordered
here for special work. Some Of the
ranchers fear II is the loco weed doing
so much damage, but others believe It
must be some plant unknown and of q
deadly character. The result of the
investigation will be watched with
much interest
