ther lies in a
critical condition. The White Caps then made
their usual raid into Las Vegas, defying the
officers of the law and threatening to liberate
the Herreras. The sheriff telegraphed the gov-
ernor for arms, which were promptly sent. The
Herreras are still in jail. The people of San
Miguel county deserve very little sympathy as
a spirit of anarchy has reigned in that county
for some time, and no organized effort has as
yet been made to put it down. The White Cap
organization of cut throats and murderers has
been allowed to defy the law with impunity.
Men have been shot down in cold blood and
property destroyed to the extent of many thous-
ands of dollars, and yet, in the face of this, the
law abiding citizens, and we presume there are
some left in the county, are either powerless to
stay this reign of terror, or for some unexplain-
able reason have failed to make an earnest
attempt. The White Caps of San Miguel have
done great damage to the whole of New Mexico,
and especially to the residents of that county.
It is high time that such an organization be put
down, and its leaders strung up.
