were  found.”

James  Woodward  and  W.  A.  Raymond 
started  Tuesday  for  Lake  Valley,  but  were 
obliged  to  return  home  on  account  of  the  snow 
in  the  mountains.  In  the  Mimbres  valley  the 
snow  was  hip  deep,  and  in  the  foothills  of 
Cook’s  Peak  reached  to  the  backs  of  their 
horses.

A horse  herder  named  White,  who  was 
known  as  Comanche,  who  was  working  for  the 
San  Simon  cattle  company  in  the  Skeleton 
canon,  was  found  there  last  Monday,  dead.  He 
had  been  shot  in  the  back  and  one  ear  and  his 
nose  were  cut  off.  He  had  been  dead  for  sev- 
eral days. — Liberal.

A.  Leon  C.  Crawford  (colored)  and  Josie 
Gentert  (white)  were  married  in  Albuquerque 
last  week.  This  is  the  first  marriage  of  a colored 
man  to  a white  woman  in  the  territory.  Albu- 
querque is  always  startling  the  southwest 
country.

Another  Killing

Last  week  Pedro  Serna,  a deputy  sheriff  at 
Colorado,  Dona  Ana  county,  upon  approaching 
a door  where  a “baile”  was  being  held,  was 
met  by  Pedro  Miranda,  who  immediately  began 
to  use  insulting  language  to  him.  Deputy  Serna 
was  telling  him  to  shut  up  and  behave  when 
another  Mexican  whose  name  is  not  known 
came  out  of  the  “baile”  and  also  commenced  to 
abuse  him.

While  Serna  was  begging  them  to  keep 
quiet,  the  Mexican,  whose  name  is  unknown, 
drew  a pistol  on  Serna,  who  ran  back  into  the 
dark  and  was  shot  at.
