nd Alfred Job, Jr. Assaulting to murder John Coleman, con- tinued for term. Territory vs. Pedo Vazques and Santos Car- rasco charged with the burglary of Max Schutz’s store. Vazques plead guilty and Carrasco con- victed upon trial. Each was sentenced to three years in the pen. Gus Montgomery, colored, who plead guilty to burglarizing Bob Stele’s saloon last week, was given five years in the pen. Territory vs. William Davis, charged with murder of Hugh Fox at Pinos Altos, continued upon motion of defense until next term. Territory vs. Barney Kerr, charged with murder of his brother, Jimmy Kerr at the Man- gus last month, still on trial. In the case of A. M. Hunter, charged with assault to murder George H. Nye on the ranch of the latter, on April 24, 1891, a trial was had on Wednesday and the defendant acquitted. The testimony tended to show that Nye had fired the first shot, and the jury evidently did not consider the shooting by the defendant felonious for that reason. The case of Drew Hunter indicted with his father for the same offense, was nullified, and the defendant dis- charged. The following indictments were returned by the grand jury at the present term of the district court. H. H. Whitehill, unlawfully permitting prisoner to escape. H. H. Whitehill, perjury. H. H. Whitehill, non feasance. H. H. Whitehill, embezzlement.
