d start in to buffalo, bulldoze and intimidate men who have expended thousands of doBars and many years of hard work in improving their homes. The stock associations of Dona Ana, Sierra and Grant agreed in the past to combine in prosecuting intruders of this sort, and have been successful in making it uncomfortable for several of them along the eastern border of the territory. It is to be hoped they will continue their good work in making them move on or secure water right sufficient to maintain their cattle. In another column will be found a com- munication from the lower Mimbres recounting a cowardly assault on an inoffensive Chinaman by a gang of cowboys in the employ of Hall brothers, coming through from Texas. The Chinaman was so badly frightened that he did not inform the people who would have inter- ested themselves in his behalf until several days after the occurrence. Had he done this the people of the Mimbres would have made it very uncomfortable for the cowards who committed the outrage. The herd with which the brutes came in has located at Pine Cienega, near Car- lisle, in the western part of Grant County. That section already has a very hard name as being the rendezvous of a gang of Texas horse and cattle thieves, and it is very likely these men will make quite an addition to their ranks.
