Harry Patterson, a waiter well known in
this city, was shot dead in Las Cruces Tuesday
morning last by a Chinese cook with whom he
had had some trouble. Harry had slapped the
cook, who left the house, borrowed a pistol,
bought cartridges for it, loaded it, then visited
the kitchen of the hotel. Harry saw him coming
and remarked: “Well, Jo, have you returned to
work.” A shot was the reply, and Harry fell
dead with a bullet through his brain. The China-
man walked down to a Chinese house, entered
and locked the door. He was soon called for by
Sheriff Barela and quietly surrendered.
Some thief entered James Metcalf’s pas-
ture Monday night last and stole a valuable
pony, branded Z-P on left hip. Look out for
him.
