Arrests
JUAN PERA[TA IS VICTIM
Had Been Missing From His
Ranch Since Sunday;Body
Found Yesterday.

An investigation made by the New
Mexico Mounted Police, following the
disappearance Sunday of Juan Peral-
ia, rancher who lived at fatigue. IA
miles west of Estancia, the county
seat of Torrance county, resulted in

remains of Peralta's body, which were
found a mile from his house.
Following this discovery Mounted

Julius Meyer arrested Edward Trujil.
10, Mrs. Juan Peralta, wife of the
dead rancher and her stepdaughter
whose name was not given the mount
ed police here. They are charged with
the murder of Peralta and now are
locked up in the jail at Estancia.
The theory Is that Trujillo and Per-
alta quarrelled and that possibly Per-
atlas family took the part of Trulil-
10. 1t is thought that PeraIta was
killed at his ranch and that his body
was dragged or carried in a wagon TO
a point a mile away, and there burned
with the hope that Identification
would prove impossible. The work of
the officers of the law, however, not
only led to the discovery of the
charred remains, but it is said
chain of evidence was forged against
certain persons and that so far three
arrests have been made.

and the clothing on it led to the posl.

Mr.. Golfers theory is that Peralta
had been away from his ranch; had
come home Sunday night and found
Trujillo there; that a struggle ensued
and that Peralta was struck in the
head with an ak and that his body
was then carried on a horse to the
