'ESCGIASTlCO TAIS ACQUITTED
On Second Trial for Murder of Aged
Woman at San Marcial.

The jury in the case of the
Territory vs.. E,colastico Tais,
charged with the murder of an
aged Mexican woman in San
Marcial about three and a half
years ago, returned a verdict of
acquittal Wednesday. 1t will be
remembered that on the streng tn
of the testimony of David Cuel-
lar at a former trial Tais was
convicted of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hang
ed Cuellar testified that he him
self committed the murder, but
that Tais stood over him with a
pistol and threatened to kill him
if he did not do so. Cuellar was
sentenced to serve ninety-nine
years in the penitentiary. The
attorneys for Tais were granted
an appeal to the supreme court,
and that body remanded the case
for a new trial. At this second
trial Cuellar was again produce d
as a witness and testified that
TaiS took no part in the crime,
but was some distance away
when it was committed. He
simply saved his own neck by
duplicating Tais at the first
trial. This and corroborative
evidence satisfied the jury of the
innocence of Tais, who had been
in the penitentiary for over three
years awaiting the verdict that
set him free. The defense was
conducted by Judge Lowell
Loughary of Albuquerque.

THE NEWS FROM FAIRVIEW
A Pretty June Wedding Among
the Principal Events Noted.

Fairview, N. NJ, June II, 1908.
Dear Chieftain:
Our June wedding was pulled
off on the tenth, the contracting
parties being Michael l.. Sulli-
van and Miss Annie Grow. The
event took place at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Tom Crow. Miss Crow was sup
ported by Miss Anice Kline,
while Mr.. Sullivan found a tow
er of strength in the brides
brother, William G.. Crow. All
the little Crows were perched
about the room and leant pictur-
eSquenesS to the scene. The
bride, who has Justly held the
palm for beauty, was attired in
white and looked radiantly hap
py. Miss Kline, also in white,
looked lovely enough to be a
bride herself. The groom, a
handsome, manly Young fellow,
acted his part in a calm, digni-
fed manner, as though getting
married were an every day oc-
curreuce. Only once did he fall
ter and that was when one Of his
legs got to dancing an impromptu
jig all by itself, but as every
body was looking at the bride
this little incident passed unno-
ticed. AS Justice William ID.
Reilly, who ties a handsome ma
trimonial knot, uttered the
solemn and touching words
which united, maybe forever.
two trusting souls, tears sprang
to the eyes of many of the ladies
present. At the conclusion of
the ceremony there was a round
of hand shaking and kisses warm
and tender were exchanged.
Just before we got to the bride
the kisses were declared out"
and no new supply expected and
we backed out, considerably dis
appointed. The bride and groom
were the recipients of many and
various presents, including an
alarm clock, foot warmers, glass
and china ware, iewelry, hand
glasses, sack of beans, a side
of bacon, and a few dried ap-
pies. AT six o'clock the we'd
ding guests sat down to a sumpt-
uouS feast and at eight a dance
at the hall, lasting we'll into the
night, was inaugurated. Mr..
and Mrs. Sullivan are now at
home at the Cross Links Ranch,
of which place Mr.. Sullivan has
assumed the management. A
trip to Los Angeles, El Paso,
Phoenix, and other places of in
terest will be made next month.
The Chloride poisoning case
bids fair to remain a mystery,
so far as the perpetrator of the
deed is concerned. Mr.. Hullin-
ger has almost entirely recover
ed from the effects of the strych-
nine.
Cattle in this section are look
ing remarkably we'll, consider
ing the condition of the ranges.
Hot, dry winds are prevailing.
If wind presages rain, what
floods we will have this summer!

been the recipient of so much at
tention from neighbors and
friends in the way of choice

is thinking seriously of breaking

able to be about again.
