ird degree for the killing of one Gonzales at San Juan last September. Mc- Enterff has earned an enviable reputation as a “six shooter fiend” and this verdict will give notice to such men that they can no longer “run the town” and terrorize the communities in Grant county. William Walter, alias “Broncho Bill,” when called for trial withdrew his plea of not guilty and plead guilty of unlawfully discharging a deadly weapon, and was sentenced to serve the territory at hard labor in the penitentiary for one year. This is the wild and wooly individual who shot up the town of Separ and who in the county jail held up the night guard. Crow, and escaped. He was recaptured near Lake Palomas by Deputy Sheriff Baca. He has shown a dis- position to become a bad man, but a year s re- flection in the pen may change his determina- tion. The case of Luciana Shaw charged with the murder of Ed Fountain at Pinos Altos was con- tinued for the term. Territory vs. Leonidas Chavez, murder, change of venue to Sierra county. Territory vs. Alfred Job, Sr., and Alfred Job, Jr. Assaulting to murder John Coleman, con- tinued for term.
