PEOPLE IN DESERT

Samuel Bibo came to New Mexico,
together with his brother Nathan, in
1867, and left for California in 1882,
where he had since become a man
very prominent in business in San
Francisco. He was widely known as
a good fellow and was OF attractive
personality, welcome in n part Of
California. He was the first man to
conduct the largest train OF wagons
loaded with supplies for Arizona mill
tary posts in 1872. In this year Ma
than Bibo opened a wagon road from
the Zuni villages to Camp Apache,
across the little Colorado river, about
four miles below the location of st.
Johns, Ariz. In the aforesaid year the
Black River and White Mountain In
dams had been surrounded by the
First United States cavalry and Twen-
ty-first infantry, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel John H. Green,
and the troops were caught in the
snow, which fell to "A depth of from
three to seven feet in the White
mountains. The matter of furnishing

train from this side.
The government up to this time
had to pay from 16 to IS cents per
pound for freight furnished via Yuma
from California and a sack of flour
sold then for SO for fifty pounds and
everything in proportion.
Thus the first wagon road was es-
tablished between New Mexico and
Arizona and frcights were thereafter
Immediately reduced to 2E cents per
pound. again to the government OF
from 1916 cents on each pound. Tho
development of western New Mexico
dates from this time, thanks to the
enterprise of the Bibo brothers who
were the only bidders at the time in
response to the call of the govern
ment to supply the imprisoned troops
at Camp Apache, Ariz., thereby OPEN

with the least possible delay. Judge
Parker who is still presiding, certainly
does not believe in having jurors and
witnesses loafing at the expense Of the
territory. Judge Cooley is o greatly
improved, but for fear of relapse will
not resume his place upon the bench
until the latter part of this week.
Two of the five murder cases have
been tried and verdicts rendered while
q third will be put on trial tomorrow

In the case of Daniel Gonzales
charged with the murder of Juan

the murder in all of its
cold -blooded, horrible details, and
staked his life upon the plea Of tenn

ably conducted by Judge Byron Sher-

the defendant having no funds. The
jury manifestly did not consider the
plea of insanity, but returned Il COM

Grants, N. NJ, Dec. S.-The death
this week of Samuel Bibo in San
Francisco, full of years and useful
ness, recalls the stirring story of the
early days in Indian-ridden New Mex
leo when the members Of the Bibo
family, pioneers OF commerce n adj
vance guard of civilization, came to
the Navajo country and made 1t pos
sible for the isolated attachments of
United States soldiers in the desert to
get supplies without breaking up the
government. The story is a sort of an
epic of the southwest and reads like
fiction to the modern generation. Sam
uel Bibo, who leaves a wife, Pauline
Bibo, was a brother of Nathan, Simon,
Solomon, Joe, Emil and Ben Bibo, all
of whose names are well known in
western and central New Mexico, and
of Mrs. Lima Weiss, Mrs. ID. Beerman
and Mrs. Herman Block. The funeral
services were held at the residence of
the brother-in-law of the deceased, j.
