Sheriff Laird went to El Paso a few days ago and brought to this city Leon Heifca, the Cuban negro who killed Bill Young, a Chinese restaurant keeper in Deming. The murderer shot the Celestial in the back, and claims that the offense was non-payment of waiter wages for two weeks. Young was a highbinder, it is said, and claimed to have been naturalized.
