IN A PECK OF TROUBLE
Is Senor Manuel Sarinana Of the
Editorial Staff Of El Defensor
del Pueblo.
A VARIETY OF MISCONDUCT
Has Been Charged against Him dur
ing His Brief sojourn in the
Gem City.

Manuel Sariiana. who came to
Socorro few weeks ago and
has been employed in the editor
ial department OF FL DefenSor,
has succeeded in getting himself
into "a sea of troubles" The
Chieftain has had but little to
say concerning Mr.. Sarifiana'S
case heretofore, but will now
give its readers the plain facts
as reported to its representative.
They are as follows:
A few days ago Mr.. Sarifiana
was arrested on "A charge of
having used abusive and threat
ening language to the bartender
in BiavaSchi's saloon He is also
accused of having had an open
pocket knife in his sleeve when
he was apprehended. He was
given a hearing before Judge
Green and placed under
bond of $1,000 to await the
action of the next Socorro county
grand jury. He furnished the
bond, his bondsmen being
MessrS. NJ. Cooney, John
Greenwald, Torres Bros. Nj.
LoewenStein, and Doctor Black
ington.
A few days later letter APP
peared over Mr.. Sarifiaua's
name in the Albuquerque Jour
nal, in which he made
use of language concerning
John BiavaSchi's saloon which
led to his arrest on charge of
criminal libel. He spent the
night following his arrest in the
county Jail, had a hearing the
next day in Judge Green's court,
and was placed under bond of
$500. his bondsmen this time
being Messrs. A. c Torres,
Jacobo Sedillo, and p. n. Yum
ker.
Thursday evening the subject
of this sketch called up Amos T..
Green by phone aud addressed
him in as vulgar and insulting
language as was ever heard in
any quarter. On being remind
ed by the central telephone girl
that lie was not allowed to use
such language over the phone
he addressed language of the
same sort to her.
These are the facts of Mr..
Sarifana'S recent exploits in So
corro as related to The Chieftain
by parties who are in a position
to know the facts. That he may
have had similar troubles else
where is shown by the following
letter translated from a recent
issue of La Opinion Publica, a
paper published in the Spanish
language in Albuquerque:
AN INTERESTING LErrER.
Las Vegas, N. NJ. Apr. 2S, 1907.
Editor of Public Opinion:
In view of the fact that GER
tain newspapers have raised a
cry to high heaven in defense of
the inspired and shameless poet,
Manuel Sarifiana, ask a little
space to lay bare the personal
character of that leper.
This wretch who has appear
ed in the arena of newspaper
dom from the unknown country
of fraud and deceit is one of the
most leprouS and cunning liber-
tines that was ever known;
therefore it is to be seen that he
is an incurable lover of all that
is scandalous, wrong, and bias
phemous.
ALI how infamous, how
wretched is that miserable liber-
tine, driven from his native soil,
from which they have expelled
him perhaps for his perverse
conduct and his shameless deeds
| do not know why the Divine
Omnipotence" has not submerged
him in the flaming abyss where
there are heard only the discord-
ant blasphemies of the accursed
that there might not remain ever
poor resemblance of tha
sponger who passes his life de,
fraudiug, deceiving, anC
/ licking shoes, besides proving
/ traitor to the friends who ait
) him.
: will not say that he robbed
/ me, but that lie beat me out of ;
three dollar board bill. Thi
scoundrel passed his time at mI
E restaurant and went away with
/. out settling his account,
