ANOTHER BODY FOUND

chunk 749 · paragraph 688

is not favorably impressed with the new stock law which compels a ranchman to take out a license before he can kill and peddle out the carcass of one of his own animals. He thinks the law unconstitutional and will put up $25 towards testing it. ( 36 ) ANOTHER BODY FOUND Since the last issue of the Enterprise defi- nite word has been received that another body, decayed beyond recognition, was found on the Blue about a mile below the cabin where Nat Whittam was killed. Both men were no doubt killed by the same band of Indians. There is also a rumor afloat which so far lacks con- firmation, that a family was killed on Eagle Creek, which is not many miles distant from the Blue. Two detachments from Fort Bayard are in the field. One of the detachments is in the Hachitas with orders that if a trail is found to follow it, and if it is necessary to cross the line into Mexico, to send word to Fort Bayard. So far it would not seem that there is occasion for a general alarm, but no doubt several more killings will take place. The Enterprise will make every effort possible to give the Indian News.
