In another column will be found a com- munication from the lower Mimbres recounting a cowardly assault on an inoffensive Chinaman by a gang of cowboys in the employ of Hall brothers, coming through from Texas. The Chinaman was so badly frightened that he did not inform the people who would have inter- ested themselves in his behalf until several days after the occurrence. Had he done this the people of the Mimbres would have made it very uncomfortable for the cowards who committed the outrage. The herd with which the brutes came in has located at Pine Cienega, near Car- lisle, in the western part of Grant County. That section already has a very hard name as being the rendezvous of a gang of Texas horse and cattle thieves, and it is very likely these men will make quite an addition to their ranks.
