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

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.

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

very plausible one, and there are a
good many people here who be

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

President Cleveland in rooting out

it is understood thut tho re

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

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.
