M., Dec. 29, 1887 To the Editors of The Enterprise :During the months of November and De- cember there have been some unknown fiends around here doing some crooked work. They have twice robbed the store of N. Y. Ancheta and killed two or three head of cattle from the Lassater Bros. On the night of the 26th instant, they made another attempt to get into Ancheta’s store, but without effect; however they entered the yard and stole a saddle. The next night there was talk that three suspicious fellows were seen loafing around town. I. L. Ancheta left here about 7 :30 p.m. to see about ten head of horses belonging to Ancheta & Dominguez which were in a pasture one mile below town, and when a short distance from town he noticed two men behind some bushes and one on horseback in the road. When they observed Ancheta one of them said: “There he comes.” Ancheta on hearing the remark, asked who they were, when the two on foot started on a run and soon disappeared among the thick brush. The man on horseback did not move for a time but finally started, but his horse seemed to be fagged out and moved very slowly.
