was found
against him in Dona Ana county for robbing
Thos. Bull’s store at Mesilla. He was committed
to prison there in default of bail. Although he
was chained and handcuffed he managed to
escape from the prison, and obtained his liberty.
He is supposed to be in Mexico.
Harry Brooks, the negro soldier indicted
for murder, was brought into court to have his
case set for trial. He was without counsel,
money or friends, so he testified. Judge C. G.
Bell was appointed to defend him with an ad-
monition that his client must be tried early in
the term. This is the Brooks who killed Red
Dalton at Central about nine months ago. It
seems his soldier comrades did not raise money
for his defense as had been reported.
Territory vs. O. L. Scott was set for trial
Thursday.
The woman Lucy Shaw, who is in jail
awaiting the action of the grand jury, will
shortly become a mother. Proper quarters
should be obtained for her under these circum-
stances. She is charged with the recent killing
of Alberto Fountain, Jr.
Hillsborough is all broke up over the find-
ing of many graves of people supposed to have
been killed by Indians long years ago.
