s 
with  ten  mules  each,  and  this  vagrant  gray  mule 
was  among  them.  At  that  time  the  animal  was 
5 years  old.  How  he  ever  got  back  to  Santa  Fe 
is  a mystery.  Mr.  Ferguson  has  fully  identified 
him  and  vouches  for  the  fact  that  he  is  fully  44 
years  old.

LOSES  EAR  IN  RUNAWAY

Messrs.  A.  Herschberger  and  Gus  Lemcke, 
of  the  Osborne  group,  met  with  an  accident 
while  driving  into  Pinos  Altos  Wednesday  last. 
The  mule  became  frightened  and  ran  away 
throwing  Mr.  Herschberger  out  and  fracturing 
his  arm  above  the  wrist  and  tearing  Lemcke’s 
left  ear  which  was  hanging  by  a mere  shred 
of  flesh.  Mr.  Herschberger  came  to  Silver  City 
to  have  his  arm  dressed.  The  mule  was  not 
hurt.

CANTWELL  STILL  IN  JAIL

Dave  Cantwell,  who  killed  James  Moore 
in  the  Black  Range  some  time  since,  was  not 
admitted  to  bail  at  the  present  term  of  court  in 
Socorro.  His  attorney,  Neil  B.  Field,  will  at- 
tempt to  get  him  out  of  jail  on  a writ  of  habeas 
corpus.  T.  B.  Catron  has  been  employed  by  the 
Black  Range  cattle  company  to  assist  Prosecut-

ing Attorney  Williams.  The  impression  seems 
to  prevail  that  it  will  keep  Dave  pretty  busy  to 
get  out  of  his  trouble.
