UGLY MURDER RESULT
 OF ALLEGED ASSAULT
Mexican Defends Integrity oi His Home In Sister
 Territory,

GLORIETTA, N. M, Jan. 3.-Refu- gio Gutierrez, midle aged ranchman, living near here, was shot and Klneo by Albino Encinas, in the latter's house here late last night. The cause of the killing is believed to be an at. tempt on the part of Gutierrez to make an assault on Encina's wife. Encinas went to Santa Fe today with w NJ. Tabor, of the Tabor-Voght Mer- cantile company of this place and gave himself up to the sheriff. He has heretofore borne an excellent rep utation.
 A coroner's jury sat on the remains of Gutierrez today and found that he came to his death from a rifle ball which entered the back of the neao and came out over the right eye. The killing is not fixed on Encinas by the jury.
 The bullet after passing through Gutierrez skull passed through the open door oF the house in wnrun Gut ierrez was standing, and buried itself in a wall across the road. It is sup posed to have been from a 3S-35.
 Gutierrez was unarme& when shot, according to report Encinas has no. been considered quarrelsome and it is held here that he must have had some strong incentive to do the shooting Gutierrez was 50 years old and En' cinas about 30. Both men are well known in this district

The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Are
 Treated.

The Way Prisoners In Montenegro Are
 Treated.
 When I paid visit to the Cetinje jail found that ali the prisoners were out for a walk. For two hours every morning and again for two hours in the afternoon they are allowed to wan der about on the green before the pris- on. There is nothing, indeed, but their own sense of honor to prevent their going farther afield unless they be murderers, in which case they wear chains. The authorities provide them with housing of course, and with clothes-not uniform-also with a fire at (which to cook their food, and they give them fourpence day each to buy 1t. The prisoners cater for them selves. Two of them go to the market every morning to buy provisions for the day. They are not required to work unless they choose, and they are classi- fled not according to the seriousness of their offense, but according to their standard of life and general behavior. If a man of education and refinement is sent to prison, care is taken to lodge him, so far as possible, in a room where the other occupants belong to his own rank in life. I found on one bed a beautiful counterpene and a pill low covered with delicate embroidery. 'Yes, poor fellow. that's his wife's handiwork," the governor of the jail remarked casually as we passed. In one prison life was made so easy and pleasant that on leaving it I Tentured to remark that to be there was no pun ishment, it seemed to me
 "No punishmentr' the official who was with me exclaimed in surprise. But think of the disgrace of being here. Us not that in itself punishment enough?'
 I had and still have doubts on the subject, for I had just seen a cheery old fellow who, although the time for which he was sentenced had expired, stoutly refused to quit the prison.-- Edith Sellers in Fortnishtly Review.
