The Rio Grande Republican published at Las Crucet, where the distrirt court is now in session says: ''Most of the forenoon was taken up with the argument of a motion to dismiss a suit brought for col lection of the forfeited bond of June L. Fuller. Monday. The case of the U. S. vs. June L, Fuller charged with having stolen a registered letter containing $800 while postmaster at llillsboro in 1884 was reached. It will be re inemltered that th grand jury re fused to find a bill in this can's and that June Fuller was tried and convicted on information filed by (Jen. Adams, who was then post- office inspector for this district. An appeal was taken on the ground that tli u trial ou information was illegal ana tlie spirit I was sua tained. At tlie last term cf court an indictment was found and it is on this. . indictment that he was tried. Tho district attorney was osHwted by Col. Fouutaiu while tho dnfenje was ably conducted by J. fllorns ioitng, of llillsboro All the forenoon was spaiit in se Acting a jury and Tuesday and Wednesday A new special agent, Mr. John L. Crockett, of Little Rock, Arkan sas, has just reported. Among tho knowing ones it is said, that Supervising Special Agent Smithes will have to go. It is understood It r has preferred ch urges against Commissioner Sparks and thut the Arkausaw senators are helping him. Ou the other hand, Sparks says Smithoe is unreliable and has been captured by the land thieves. There seems to be one case specially, which sticks in Spark's craw. Smithee examined and reported upon fifty entries on the lower Pecos river, and he re ported them sll right Spnrkf did not believe it. lie ordered Agents Wharton ami Foley to re-inveuti irate them. They did so, and re oorted them all riht, still several settlers in the vicinity asRrrt tha Wharton and Foley were fixed, so Sparks sends out other agent. It seems pretty hard to find an hon est special agent of the democratic faith. Dame Uumor also has it, that Smithee and Webb, foreui an ot the hits United States grand jury here, were in, and every man who wonld not come to the scratch was singled out ami indicted; that Thomas Smith, ttio district at torney, was an unconscious tool in the bunds of these man. he and the the casa occupied the attention of clerk and marshal benefiting great- ine court aim tlie jury brought in ly in fees. Die rumor seems a verdict of guilty. The case will be appealed to the supreme couit. r . w . . UUI'TAIN JiAWTOX, WHO 18 8 brave and honest oflicur, admits in an interview in San Antonio that Lieutenant Qatewood, of the Cth cavalry, captured Oeronimo. Gatewood, who is' as modest as a girl, would never make the claim, and it is fortunate for his reputa tion that Copta:n Lnwton is not otllictod with those petty jealousies thut so often disfigure the charac ter of army officers. i Ik ho iiemocruts wiio lire so prejudiced against Mexicans that they cannot supjHirt them for office, need not throw Anthony Joseph over their shoulder en that account, for he is not a Mexican. Mr. Joseph is the son of a Portngue father and a negro mother, was born and raised in this territory, but doos not claim to be a Mexi canexcept when among stran gers. very plausible one, and there are a good many people here who be lieve it firmly. Now Mexican. 1 here seems to be trouble in the rank and file of the democratic party in Lincoln county, as the following from the Interpreter, will show: "If the democratic party is to 1 run by the cattle as sociation, we think there are just lots of democrats in the county who will vote against tho nominees, just to teach the pary that if they expect to succeed they must be decent and show o respect for the law by supporting the policy of President Cleveland in rooting out ami punishing laud frauds. Interpreter. It would make a big hole in the democratic majorities in New York and Chicago if the anarchists were all hung. Deming Headlight. Yes, and it would nitike a big hole in the population of Deming if the boycotters and midnight stranglers of Darning were to got their just dues. it is understood thut tho re publicans in tho Territory will open their campaign simultane ously and earnestly on the 22nd inst. The leading towns will lie supplied with enthusiastic speak ers. The political pot will soon be boiling, but it will not boil over and booome excited from unusually mtense heat until after the uom nations mr county omces nave been made in each county in the Territory. It is all right as long as tho new s paper man does not present his bills, but when that is done the friendship which had heretofore existed bstweju the editor an I tha patron, is now forever severed. If a newspaper wishes to be well sup ported and have lots of friends, it should never think of preseutiug bills for printing or anything else. Any oditor who cannot pay printers house rent, board ami stand off tho washer-woniau, without bothering his pRtrous for money, had bolter stet'r clear of tho printing business. The nomination for sheriff on tie republican ticket appears to bo at this writing, between Wells and Storey Initli good men.
