KILLING IN GUADALUPE
CANON, GRANT COUNTY.
Another Murder Added to Long List
Which Has Disgraced
Grant County.

Frank English was killed by A. j.
MacKey in Guadalupe Canon in South
western Grant county and the latter
has been arrested. The killing was
over a land dispute and the attempt
to fence spring to keep stock from
watering. The men met at the home
Of an invalid named Carter, who was
one of those who had been trying TO
adjust matters and avoid trouble. Mac
key was accompanied to the meeting
by his two sons and brother-in-law
and an employe. When the men got
together heated controversy ensued.
At this point the accounts of the trou-
Bile differ. One report Is to the effect
that Mackey drew a revolver from his
pocket and fired once, English falling
dead, the bullet having struck him in
the right side and plunged through his
lung and other vital organs. The 9TH
err is that English first drew a revol.
yer and snapped it at Mackey, who
then drew his gun and fired.

GAMBLING AND NOISE
MAR BASEBALL GAME.
Chief Justice Pope Reported Not to
Favor Any Exemption az to
Free Sunday Contests.

Roswell, N. NJ, June 15.-It is un-
derstood that Judge William H. Pope
of this district denies emphatically
having ruled that free baseball is no
violation of the Sunday law The
Morning Journals Clovis correspond
ent recently reported that Judge Pope
had the district attorney wire the
sheriff's Office at Clovis to arrest the
managers and players if Hereford
and Clovis teams attempted to play
ball on Sunday at Clovis: and that
the game came off according to
schedule only because no admission
was charged. Judge Pope it is said,
has had no conversation on this sub
ject with the district attorney for
year past; and has never authorized
Sunday baseball on condition admis.
sion is free, which he would regard
as an evasion OF the law.
1t is further rumored that the
court has received letters from min
listers at Clovis declaring that the
mobs of fans made such a noise on
the streets in Clovis last Sunday as
to seriously disturb religious worship.
The pastor of the southern Metho.
dist church in Clovis, it is also re-
ported, makes the charge that there
was considerable gambling on the
game Sunday and offers to produce
two witnesses who will testify that
they saw men making bets on the re.
suit of the game.
