Success was almost within their grasp when

Gen Charles Gordon was commissioned for
this purpose. and in cooperation with Ii Hung

Word was received in Estan-

Intosh had taken French leave
of that city Oh Wednesday night,
riding to Willard, where he took
the train for Ei Paso. William
Mcintosh, who was in partner
ship in the mercantile business
with Fisher, received a letter
from him, mailed at Balen, tell
ing that he was on his way to Ell
Paso and that he would return
and close up the business if Nc
Intosh desired him to do so.
A short time ago, Mrs. Fisher
filed suit for divorce against her
husband, on the grounds Of
cruelty and abuse. A demand
was made that he send her at
Santa Fe her personal belong
ings, among which were a num-
ber Of gifts received by her be-
fore her marriage. Neglecting
to attend to this, an order from
the district court was secured,
and placed in the sheriff's hands
to secure the property, Sheriff
Meyer went to Mcintosh yester-
day to serve the order, only to
find there was no one to be serv-
ed. He secured the property and
had it shipped to Santa Fe.
The mercantile business has
been a go from the start. and
with close attention, Fisher
would have won out, Being in
partnership with Mcintosh
brought him quite a lot of trade
from the sheepmen in that vicini-
ty, besides the trade of the far
mers, The business is in fairly
good shape, considering all things
and the stock on hand will pro-
badly make Mr.. Mcintosh safe or
nearly so.
