fer  a reward  of  $25  for  the 
arrest  of  the  parties  who  purloined  his  moun- 
tain lion.  He  was  told  that  the  animal  was  on 
exhibition  at  A.  K.  Watts’  meat  market,  and 
through  this  means  hopes  to  obtain  a clue  to 
the  parties  who  in  some  illicit  manner  got 
away  with  his  pet.

Doctor  Stephens  was  called  upon  last 
Monday  to  attend  the  children  of  Mr.  Fowler, 
a ranchman  on  the  Mimbres  river.  The  children 
had  been  severely  bitten  by  a cat  supposed  to 
be  afflicted  with  rabies.  The  animal  attacked 
the  children  viciously,  biting  the  younger  one 
severely  in  the  arm  and  afterward  biting  the 
older  one  on  the  calf  of  the  leg,  retaining  its 
hold  until  killed.  The  doctor  prescribed  the 
best  remedies  known,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  that 
the  dread  disease  will  not  develop.

C.  S.  Metcalf  and  sister  came  in  from  the 
Mangas  Tuesday.  Miss  Metcalf  left  Wednesday 
for  California,  where  she  will  spend  the  winter.

J.  T.  McCorkle  has  been  peculiarly  unfor- 
tunate during  the  past  few  months.  Since  his 
incumbency  as  superintendent  of  the  Anson  S. 
mine,  he  has  met  with  three  accidents,  the  last 
one  occurred  Thursday  last.  He  was  coming 
out  of  the  mine  for  the  last  time,  having  resign- 
ed his  position,  when  he  was  caught  between  an 
ascending  bucket  and  the  timbers,  and  badly 
squeezed.  He  left  for  California  yesterday.
