possible,  but  Adams  had  long 
been  dead  when  he  arrived.  The  remains  were 
brought  to  Las  Cruces,  and  were  taken  charge 
of  by  Chas.  Metcalfe,  who  was  a partner  of 
the  unfortunate  man  in  the  working  of  the 
Modoc  mine.  The  Herd  Bros,  came  in  from  the 
mine  with  the  remains.

Eugene  Colson  and  George  D.  Hauser  re- 
turned on  Monday  from  Hudsons,  where  they 
were  for  several  days,  vegetating  and  drinking 
hot  water.  For  the  sake  of  exercise  they  started 
to  walk  to  the  depot,  and  when  about  half  way 
they  were  met  by  a huge  Texas  steer,  with  vi- 
cious horns,  who  came  towards  them  in  an 
interesting  manner.  George  shook  his  cane,  and 
told  the  steer  to  “Shoo!”  but  he  wasn’t  built 
that  way.  He  came  up  on  a swinging  trot  and 
George  started  for  the  depot  on  double  quick 
time,  the  steer  bringing  up  the  rear.  Colson  was 
so  overcome  with  the  scene  that  he  laid  down 
and  rolled  over  several  times.  George  arrived 
at  the  depot  safely,  and  had  some  time  to  spare 
before  the  train  came  along.

The  Mexican  who  snatched  Frank  As- 
carate’s  sack  of  silver  dollars  from  a Santa  Fe 
train  at  El  Paso,  and  was  run  down  by  Pete 
Zimmerman,  got  five  years  in  the  penitentiary.

Dave  Gaul  has  inaugurated  a new  era  in

consumers.
