The Mexicans who arrived here from Old
Mexico in search of horses stolen by the three
men who were arrested on the Gila and taken
to Dona Ana county, secured thirty-one head,
and left a few with the sheriff to pay him for
his trouble and expense. They were much
pleased on recovering their stock. At one time
they were about to go home empty handed as
the supposed thieves had given a bill of sale for
the stock to Bell & Wright, who were employed
to defend them.
On Friday evening last, a gentleman from
Fort Bayqard, who was in a beastly drunken
condition, rode his horse into the White House
saloon, and was immediately under the arrest
of two deputy sheriffs. For some unexplained
reason he was turned loose without being fined,
and owing to the intervening of friends his name
is withheld from publication. Had a cowboy
committed the same offense, he would have
been fined $100 at least, and his name printed
in red ink, under a triple head in the local
papers.
