twenty Apache Indians, who
volunteered their services and
who were permitted by agent
j. A. Carroll at the MescalerO
agency to assist in the search,
Immediately started in pursuit.
After much difficulty and loss
of time the trail was found, and
then followed an exhibition of
Indian woodcraft. Through the
draws and sunbaked arroyOs, up
and down mountain streams for
long distances, over stretches of
barren rock, the trail was follow
ed for two days and nights,
when the carcass of the murder
er's horse was found. A portion
of the animals body had been
taken as food, and the absence
of part of the hide showed that
the Indian and his squaw had
made extra soles for their moe
casins so their trail could not be
followed.
Just week from the day OF
the murder, the posse, Roy
McLane and the Indians were
camped ten miles due east
of Alamogordo in the Saeramen.
to mountains. The murderer
had the advantage of his pursu.
ers, as he was familiar with ev.
cry inch of the country, having
taken this direction on his fre.
quent journeys to Old Mexico
where he was we'll known, and
where it is believed he wa:
heading for.
1t is believed that in rounding
up the lost cattle young McLane
unexpectedly surprised "Da-ga.
in-ka" in the act of slaughterine
a beef, not hearing his ap
proach. When caught red hand
ed in unlawfully killing a beet
it is supposed he raised his ri
tle and killed young McLane.

HAD REPUTATION Of KILLING OVER DOZEN men

In forcing the squaw to accom-
pany him is shown the Indians
cunningness. Da-ga-in-ka was
totally deaf and took his squaw
with him to watch and listen for
his pursuers. In case his pursuers
approached near she could noise
lessly notify him as she could
converse by signs and finger
language.
Late Monday evening the per-
suing party came upon very
fresh tracks and evidence that
they were close upon the hunted
murderer and his squaw. The
twelve Apache Indians at this
point insisted that the white
men who were in the party
should wait, saying "Da- -in-ka
much bad man, maybe so white
man get hurt" and no persuasion
would induce them to let the
white men continue on the trail.
! The twelve Apaches continued
on alone and no one knows eX.
actly when it happened or how
but the one-eyed Commancht
murderer was brought into, Ala
lnogordo about midnight Tues
day and he was certainly very
dead Indian.
The dead Indians squaw was
also brought to Alamogordo, but
is not considered as implicated
in the murder, in fact was fore
ed to accompany "Da-ga-in-ka'
by threats Of being killed, anC
for some time past has lived il
hourly dread of being murdered
by him.
An inquest was held Wednes
day forenoon upon the remains
of the murderer, the verdict be
ing that he came to his deatl
from a gunshot' wound while re
sisting arrest by the MOUNTED
police of the Indian reservation

ELECTRIC PUMP
WILL BE ATTACHED

The test we'll that D. Burney is
having drilled on his ranch just
west of town was stopped on Mon
day at 1872 feet below the surface,
as no additional water stratas
were encountered at any depth
greater than eighty-six feet. Mr..
Burney has decided to draw the
we'll casing up to the eighty-six
foot water strata, dig the pit to
the water level, which stands eight
cen feet below the surface, and in
stall the electrically driven centri-
fugal pump at this point. As soon
as this work has been done the
practical pumping test will be
made, accurate data kept during
the test, and within a few hours
after the pump has been started it
will be known what the water pos
sibilities, are in that particular To-
cation.
Mr.. Burney and M. H. Fisher
are to be commended for their en-
terprise in the matter of installing
this test well, as it will help greatly
in solving what up to this time,
has been an unknown condition.

TULAROSA WINS WATER SUIT
judge Mann HandS Down Important De-
CIsIOn In Water Controversy.
WATER CANNOT Be USED OHRESERVATlON

IN opinion was rendered today
by Judge Mann that will be of vital
interest to the entire town OF Tula-
rosa, and inasmuch as it affects the
water rights for the Tularosa dis
trict, it will be read with interest
and considerable satisfaction by all
concerned.
In the suit of the Tularosa COM
munity ditch versus The Tularosa
Land and Cattle company and 9th
ers, the people of Tularosa are seek
ing protection through the courts
of their long established rights to
the water from the Tularosa creek
and its springs and tributaries, as
the water was being extensively
used for irrigation on the Mesca-
lero Apache Indian reservation, the
claim of the defense being that, as
the waters had their origin on the
reservation, it could he used there
to the deprivation Of the people of
Tularosa
The district attorney for New
Mexico filed a demurrer i'll the suit
setting forth that the district court
had no Jurisdiction in the case as
the suit in equity was against
the United States, and held that
Judge Mann did not have jurisdic-
ton in the matter.
1 Judge Mann's opinion is very
clear cut and concise statement of
law and facts, and shows conclu-
sivelv that the suit as instituted is
not against the United States, but
is directed against individuals who
claim authority from the United
States. The opinion of Judge Mann
as handed down goes into the mat
ter in extreme detail. beginning
with the settlement of Tularosa in
1862 and showing that Tularosa
had full and indisputable right and
title to and use of the water from
1862 up to the present time, calling
attention to the fact that the In
dian reservation was not establish
ed until 1874.
The opinion quotes very fully
from all decisions having bearing
upon the point, and after showing
that the United States is not a par
tv to the suit, the demurrer of the
defendants is overruled and Judge
Mann orders that the referee pro-
ceed with the taking of testimony
IN the SUIT.
This decision will be good news
to the people of Tularosa who are
absolutely dependent upon the wa
ter in question for the irrigation of
their lands, and had the decision
been adverse to them it would have
been the death kpell for Tularosa.
The suit will now proceed before
a referee and the outcome will un-
questionably be in favor of Tula-
rosa retaining its full and undis-
turbed use of the water that has
been the towns for forty six years.

Memorial Song.
THEY SLEEP IN THE DUST.
Air-"old oaken Bucket"

Ar Old Oaken Bucket | They sleep in the dust, and the grave
 has closed OCT them,
 They repose in the vale where our
 forefathers lie;
 The cares of this life nevermore shall Gssal them,
 They bade them adieu when they
 laid down to die. Their voices now silent. how sadly we
 miss them,
 No longer we hear the warm well
 come they gave. They sleep in the valley An no, they
 have risen.
 With pinions of angels they're wing
 ing their way,
 While star after star they revisit Tn
 heaven.
 They beckon us up, with Come,
 brethren, away

Methinks, brethren, that if ever spir- its are permitted to visit this earth, these absent ones will be with us this evening to cheer and encourage us in our pilgrimage to that better land on the other side of the great divide
