INDIANS KILL MURDERER---A
 YOUNG COWBOY
Trail "BIind lke," MescaIero Apache, Over Arid Wastes and Through Mountain De- files-Shot Dozen Times.

1t was most gruesome sight that met the eyes d the court house janitor yesterday morn ing when he arrived at the court house to open up the several offices and put them in readiness for the days work. says correspondent in Alamogordo. N. M, Ito tie Albu- querque Journal.
 On entering the sheriff's office he started back in amazement Strewn over the floor, wrapped in their blankets, were dozen Mescalero Apache Indians, their rifles lying be- side each. In the jail was the dead body of Blind Ike" the Indian whom they had shot to death as soon as discovered. The news of the capture spread rapidly, and from daylight until after the inquest, about II o'clock, the court house and yard were thronged with people eager to get look at the dead outlaw-"a good Indian" as many expressed it. It is said the deceased was shot twelve times, but this was hard to determine. His head, shoulders and | chest seemed riddled with bullets. | After the inquest his body was taken out into the court yard. where a local photographer took a picture of the filthy and bloody remains. the un- dertaker then taking charge. He was buried in an obscure corner of the local cemetery.
 | The eagerness of the people to get a look at the dead body again shows the morbid curiosity of the American people in general. The desire was not confined to the small boys and the men of the community; the women were present in great mum bers. One man, real estate agent seemed to be a self fconstituted guide for the ladies, and many were they whom he escorted to the window oi the room in which the body was ly ing, wrapped in blankets, that they might get a peep at the dead Indian
 It seemed a gala day for many oi the people of this vicinity.
 The Indian who has so surely paid the penalty for his latest crime was lconsidered a dangerous man by his Associates on the reservation, and when the opportunity presented itseli for them to take up the trail they diC it with whoop of joy. Sheriff Den ny was forced to the rear by the In dians, wno impressed upon him the fact that as soon as they came ur to the fugitive he would first kill the squaw and then shoot the white men; the Indians he would not harm I It is the supposition here that this was done For the reason that they feared the sheriff would take hin alive, and they desired that he be killed and thus be forever out of the way. Whether or not there is any foundation for this report, it is harC to say. At any rate, he was killed and by the Indian trailers.
 There seems to be no doubt that he was the murderer of young Mo Lain, who in the employ of the rIy ing H ranch, was sent out to round Iup the missing cattle. Upon coming up on the Indian, who had killed one Iof the steers, the Indian was sur iprised, being deaf, and evidently thought the best plan was to kill him He remained on the reservation un til the body was found and the au thorities had assembled at the place Of finding the body. It was then he took his squaw and horse and start ed for Mexico, through the Sacra imentos. The Indian trailers neyeI for moment lost the trail, once they took it up at the place of the killing. Over arid wastes, through the mountain defiles, through a herd of range horses, they went right ahead until they found their man. Il was latter-day exemplifieation oi the Indian cunning so little heard oi lat this day.
