Mow a Fellow Was Let OirFrom Pun
ishment. Quite a little seutatiou Ava& ratlier
nipped in the bud yesterday by ft well
known citizen, whose friendship for
an offender saved the latter from an
exposure that would, undoubtedly,
have necessitated the latter's leaving
the city on his own account, or as a
ward ol tiio .'overnment.
It has been the custom of many
people to leuve letters and papers to
be mailed to the care of a man, who
has always borne a good character in
Vegas and who was accounted hon
est. A short time ago, a letter was
entrusted to his charge by a gentle
man who wished to insure its speedy
departure by mail. The letter was
written to his brother in Illinois and
contained a check for $40. After
some delay, an answer to the letter
was received but it was intimated
that the gentleman must have neglect
ed to send the draft, as stated in the
letter. The sender was very confi
dent that he had sent the check in the
letter as described, and, as several
people had seen him make t he enclo
sure he naturally thought that the
mails had been tampered with, espec
ially this piece of mail matter íh par
ticular. He never once suspicioued
the man in whose clurge the letter
had been left, as equally valuable
ones had passed through his hands all
right.
lie was explaining the case at tin
bank u short time since when the de
tective W. W. Dodd happened to b
standing near, and tapping him on tht
si o ilder suggested that he might be
able to explain the matter. Lie had
come into possesion of the check am
the facts in the case aud he, togethei
with detective J. F. Morlcy micccimI
ed in finding the man. They were
quite sure of the author ot the deei
before they finally pounced on him,
but, to make sure, Morley resorted to
a little dodge that settled the matter
Monday afiernoi n, Morlcy went to
the office, where t tic suspected man
is employed, w th his right hand u
bandaged up ; n I asked him asa favoi
that he woulil I i reel an envelope ft
him to a fiieuJ: The request was
promptly complied with. The uaim
to be superscribed on the envelope
had been purposlev chosen, lor l'"
name and address c nia ued all the
letters ot the eiidoitmi'ut on the
check. That settled it, and jpsterla
ÍY-rcnoou the two detectives took
counsel as to what course to pursue
As special i.tlkers of the post oflio
depart incut they intended to arrest
he man on a LT. IS. oil' nee, but ii
was found that inasmuch as the letter
had not been committed to the chargi
of a post office employe, nor had been
tampered with after being dropped
into the post office, it, was not a gov
eminent ca-c. The sender oí the let
ter upon being consulted stated that
he would not prosecute the case as
the young fellow had always been
friendly disposed towards him.
After abstracting the check the fel
low carefully re-sealed the letter and
sent it by mail Illinois-ward. Taking
it to . ne of our banks he sought to
get. it cashed, but was iniormed that
he could not secure the money on it,
unless it was endorsed. After carry
ing it about for some time ho finaliy
approached a man about town aud
said that he had wou it at play and
wished to sell it. It was immediately
suspected that there was something
crooked about the affair, and detec
tives Morley and Dodd would have
brought hirn to justice if the case had
uot been dropped by the sender's re
fusing to appear against him.
The forgery of the endorsement was
clumsily executed, and this lesson
will undoubtedly be a sufficient warn
to the fellow not to try on this game
again.
Don't forget the entertaiumeut at
the Presbyterian church' this evening
for tht benefit of the Academy fund.
PLAZA GROCERS,
Vneasy Santa Fe.
From the New Mexican we learn
that Santa Fe wasgrcatlv disturbed
on Snuday by rumora that a lynching
was imminent. Saturday night a par
ty of five or six men accompanied by
.sheriff Situero of Ilio Arriba county
arrived in Santa Fe from Santa Cruz.
The men were not under arrest, but
were simply under the protection of
the sheriff. On Sunday Sheriff Jos
eph Sitnero ami four Americans, Wm.
King, J T.Armstrong, Frank Smith
aud A. Gardner were arrested ou the
barge of murder, made by several
Mexicans. It was feared that a mob
would take the men from the jail and
lynch them. Exciténieut rau high
aud one hundred aud fifty men voluu
leered to guard the jail. Ten deputy
sheriffs were sworn in and they to
gether with a largo body of men
guarded the jail all Sunday night.
Fortunately no attempt was made to
break into the jail.
There are two stories ot the diffi
culty that led to tho arrest. The
men who have been at work on the
I). & K. G. IL Ii. grade, state that they
purchased some oat straw at a store
and, while ou their journey were met
by some Mexicans on last Wednesday
who charged them with stcaliug the
provender. The Mexicans agreed to
.et them off on payment of $75., also
accusing them of committing other
depredations iu the neighborhood ol
tierra Amarilla where the straw wa
purchased. This was refused, as also
ach successive offer, and the final one
if $10 for a compromise. They were
ifterward surrounded by Mexicans
and arrested aud brought to trial at
vjhatnita. After being discharged
i here they were re-arrested at Suui.i
Oruz but were agaiu released. Ai
lie latter place a difficulty arose be
ween Charles Kruiniueck, known as
"Dutch Charlie," and Amando Luce
ro aud the former was killed. Lucero,
.hey claim, was shot iu tlu shoulder
tvhile resisting a sheriffs posse.
Lucero claims, ou the oilier hand,
that the ex-graders attempted toake
he life ot the justice of the peace, at
er they were released. They attack
i d Lucero's ouse, but his witu aud
he justice succeeded iu escaping. A
light ensued in winch "Dutch Char
lie" ot the attacking party was killed
and Lucero Wounded.
The affair has caused great excite
ment aud will swoii come to trial.

"The Kid's" Compliment.
" The Kid's" band show very good
tate in reading the Gazette relig
iously, aud thus learn what is stirring
tne outside world, from which they
are practically exi ed. On numerous
occasions we have sought to rouse the
people of the country to the e-ist of
us to organize a brisk campaign that
the gang might be captured or dr'veu
out ol the country. One article iu
particular iu which we represented
the members to be more black than
they are usually painted naturally
fell into the hands of the band. Last
week while Billy "the Kid" aud some
of his band were in Sumner they in
dulged in many threats of what they
would do. '"By ," exclaimed
Billy with much fervor, resorting to
the dash dialect very frequently,
"onlp let me get tlroFO Gazktte fel
