A little over a month ago the Citizen gave an account of a mad coyote running through La- guna and surrounding country, and attacking everything it chanced to meet. It ran through the cattle camp of Bud Eddleman, near El Rito, while the men were asleep and bit four men. One of the men died in seventeen days after being bitten, another in twenty-one days, and the third died last night, exactly thirty-four days after being attacked. Drs. Raster and ( 19 ) Pearce, of this city, went out yesterday to at- tend the man, but they could render no as- sistance. The coyote bit him several times in the head, the wounds had healed up nicely. Three days ago he was taken sick, commenced frothing at the mouth and at the sight of water he would go into terrible convulsions, taking the combined strength of half a dozen men to hold him. Blood and foam would run from his mouth in a constant stream for hours, and late last night, just before the doctors left for the city, he went into a convulsion from which he died. The man was a Mexican and resided in the neighborhood. The fourth man, who was bitten at the same time, is sick and it is feared that he will also die from hydrophobia. — Albu- querque Citizen.

he city, he went into a convulsion from which he died. The man was a Mexican and resided in the neighborhood. The fourth man, who was bitten at the same time, is sick and it is feared that he will also die from hydrophobia. — Albu- querque Citizen. Arrested For Stealing Ore Peter Kavanaugh, formerly night boss on the Mountain Key mine, was arrested last Mon- day for stealing some of the very best ore now being taken out on the lower levels of the mine. On the 29th of May, Kavanaugh sold to the Silver City National Bank some of the gold which had not been properly freed from quartz. Mr. D. C. Hobart, one of the promoters of the Mountain Key company, happened to go into the bank, and seeing the gold, immediately recognized it as belonging to the Key mine. In- quiring from whom it had been purchased, the party was described to him. On looking around town he found that the person described was no other than the night boss on the mine. He notified superintendent Boyle, who proceeded to investigate the matter. Kavanaugh was dis- charged from the mine but remained at Pinos Altos. Farther investigation brought to light sufficient evidence to warrant the arrest of Kavanaugh. He was given a preliminary hear- ing before Judge Givens on Tuesday and bound over in the sum of $300 to appear before the grand jury. Later developments would lead to the supposition that considerable pilfering of rich ore had been going on. Three other suspected men left the day after Kavanaugh was discharged from the mine. They made tracks for Colorado.
