Murder At Pinos Altos
One Lucy Small, a daughter of Catrino
Baldonado, of Central City, shot Edward Foun-
tain, son of Col. A. J. Fountain, of Las Cruces,
on last Sunday morning between three and four
o’clock. The circumstances which led to the
killing are about as follows. Fountain, on the
night in question, was at the house of Lucy,
and during the evening several bottles of beer
had been disposed of, and during the possible
mellowness which followed, a quarrel ensued
in which Lucy asserts that Fountain called her
vile names. He then left the house and Lucy
followed him to the door, and wishing to scare
him, fired the shot which proved fatal in a few
hours. The deceased for some time had been
employed on the Kleptomania mine and won
the esteem and confidence of all with whom he
came in contact. The remains were shipped to
Las Cruces on Monday last for interment.
