The Mexicans who arrived here from Old Mexico in search of horses stolen by the three men who were arrested on the Gila and taken to Dona Ana county, secured thirty-one head, and left a few with the sheriff to pay him for his trouble and expense. They were much pleased on recovering their stock. At one time they were about to go home empty handed as the supposed thieves had given a bill of sale for the stock to Bell & Wright, who were employed to defend them. On Friday evening last, a gentleman from Fort Bayqard, who was in a beastly drunken condition, rode his horse into the White House saloon, and was immediately under the arrest of two deputy sheriffs. For some unexplained reason he was turned loose without being fined, and owing to the intervening of friends his name is withheld from publication. Had a cowboy committed the same offense, he would have been fined $100 at least, and his name printed in red ink, under a triple head in the local papers. ( 12 )
