Fred  Meyers  and  Bill  Suggs,  two  horse
thieves,  were  recently  killed  in  the  Animas
valley  by  stockmen  from  Mexico.  They  were
shot  while  asleep  in  their  blankets.  After  re-
covering their  stock  and  taking  the  fire  arms
and  saddles,  the  cowmen  returned  to  their
ranches  across  the  line,  leaving  their  victims  for
others  to  bury.  The  bodies  were  not  found  until
several  days  afterwards  on  McCabe  ranch.
