s business. Ed Roberts, while riding on his range a few days since, came across a cow which had an arrow sticking in her side. He lassoed the animal and extracted the arrow. What puzzles the cattlement out that way is to know who shot the arrow into the cow. — Prospector. Juan Cordero, who lives at San Juan on the Mimbres, is now in limbo. Growing tired of living with the wife of his bosom, he at- tempted to make an angel of her last Tuesday. He assaulted her with a butcher knife, and succeeded in inflicting several ugly wounds. He was evidently reaching for her heart as the knife wounds are immediately back of the left shoulder, and point inward. In the passage of the knife the shoulder blade was encountered which turned the point of the weapon, and doubtless to this circumstance the woman owes her life. Cordero thinking he had dispatched his victim, fled to the hills, where he was found by Isidro Ancheta in an unconscious state, hav- ing taken poison. He recovered and is now awaiting the action of the grand jury. It would have saved the county considerable expense if the poison had been allowed to get in its work.
