h a law should have been passed years ago. Now let the city dads pass an ordinance pro- hibiting the demi monde from parading the streets in droves, and appearing in public in mother hubbard gowns. It has been passed. Newly Elected Officers of the Grand Lodge of New Mexico The eleventh annual session of the most worshipful grand lodge A. F. and A. M. of New Mexico closed on the 14th.

The first lodge was organized in Santa Fe in 1847, and the present Monte- zuma lodge was instituted in 1850. The next annual communication takes place at Las Cruces. Wednesday morning some tramps came into the postoffice and told Postmaster Miller that there was some mail on the ground down near the coal pile. Miller went down and dis- covered the remains of nine registered letters, which he had put in the bag the night before, and the contents of some of them, including a watch and couple of checks. Miller says he made up the mail as usual the night before, put the registered mail in the pouch and took it over to the depot. The night operator, Sloan, says the pouch lay outside the counter on the office floor all night and that he put it on the train in the morning, and the route agent tele- graphed back that the pouch was received all right. How the letters got out of the bag is at ( 3 ) the present writing a mystery. Just how much money there was in the registered letters is not known, but Postmaster Miller says that he had $500 in gold in one of the packages, which he was remitting to Albuquerque on the money order account. This loss will fall on Miller. — Liberal.

There had been some dispute over a game, and Sheridan (who by the way is not related to the Sheridan of this city) went out and returned with a knife. When he came back Cuneo asked him to put up his weapon, which he did not do. Cuneo then struck him over the head with a gun and the knife dropped on the floor. Sheridan then went and laid down, and soon died. Cuneo resided here for several years, and never had any personal difficulty with any- body. He is under arrest, but will probably come clear. Ed Harlan or Holland, an individual of many aliases, is making the rounds of the Gila settlements. He recently burglarized a house near Cobb & Goodell’s ranch and stole some clothing, breaking open a trunk to obtain them. He has recently been employed at Carlisle. He is very loquacious and boasts of his many thieving exploits. Look out for him.

He is very loquacious and boasts of his many thieving exploits. Look out for him. Justice of the Peace H. W. Lucas had quite a busy day of it last Monday. The first case on the docket was the city vs. Willie Garnett, charged with creating a disturbance, using bois- terous language at a public entertainment. The culprit plead guilty and was fined $5 and costs. The city vs. Mollie Dewitt was next called and the prisoner plead guilty to the charge of inde- cent and boisterous language, fine $5 and cost.
