From Ihe August 31, 1888, Issue of The Enterprise
James McKnight, who was hit in the head
with a windlass at Pinos Altos about the first
of July, died at the hospital Tuesday, and was
buried Wednesday. He was sent to the hospital
July 5th, since which time he has been insane,
refusing to eat anything except by force.
The supreme court of Mexico has approved
the death sentence in the case of J. J. Tallier
alias Taylor, the leader of the gang of robbers
of the Sonora railroad last May, who killed
Conductor Atkinson and the fireman. Taylor
has probably been shot ere this. The time of
execution is never announced in advance. Char-
ley Small, who like Taylor, formerly # resided
here, has been sentenced to fourteen years of
imprisonment for a robbery on the Mexican
Central road. Taylor committed murder and
Small did not.

To the Editors of The Enterprise :
There has been nothing in the way of
special news, hence my long silence. Every-
thing is running smoothly notwithstanding the
attempted blockade.
