Shooting of Conductor Tabler, Southern
Pacific.
Special to the Times.
Deming, N. M. may 17.—About ten
o'clock to-day a man named Tabler, a
conductor on Southern Pacific, was shot
three times by Doc Cain. They were
both participants in a general saloon row,
of which the above was the tragic end.
Tabler's most serious wound is in the
head, the others being in the hip and
side; he is reported in a very precarious
condition. The indignation of the peo-
ple was so great that the officers enter-
tained fear as to the safety of the priso-
ner, consequently he was taken to Silver
City. Tabler was unmarried.
Later—Richard Tabler, a conductor
of the Southern Pacific railroad, was
shot through the lungs to-night by Doc
Cain in Mrs. Downing's lodging house,
opposite the depot. He cannot live.
Cain was arrested by Sheriff Tucker
and is now concealed by the officers in
order to escape threatened lynching.
The trouble began in a dispute about the
renting of a room on the paying
of money dne on a lot, Cain
called Tabler "a s—o'—b, and
Tabler knocked him down.
Cain then went to his saloon, procured a
revolver and returning shot Tabler. One
report says he was shot while lie was
lying down. An effort is now being
made to get a deposition from the
wounded man, who is still in his
senses, but is bleeding internally and
sufferiug"badly. There is considerable
excitement, and it is perhaps a good
thmg for Cain, that the officers have con
oealefl him so effectually. One report
says that they have sent him to Silver
City under a guard.
Later.—The revolver used was a
44-calibre. The ball entered about three
inches and a half below the left nipple,
and passed clear through the body and
lodged in the muscles of the back.

Special to the Times.
Dkming. N. N., May 17.
Advices from Fort Apache are to the
effect that the Indian situation there is
beginning to assume a serious aspect.
In one of my lecent dispatches concern-
ing this matter, you added one 0 too
many to the number of Indians said to
have left the reservation making the
number 4,000 instead of 400.
They are doing a good deal of planting,
but Captain Dougherty could not get
seed for them from the agency, as the
agent there says that the Indian office
will not allow him more than half
enough seed for bis own people.
Gen. Scofield commanding the milita-
ry division, has been appealed to by the
commanding officer, and the matter
seeming urgent jrnd admitting of no de-
lay whatever, orders were issued to pur-
chase seed. All the seed In Las Vegas
and Albuquerque was accordingly secur-
ed and dealt out to the Indians, then
came the demand for subsistence while
the crop was maturing. Fer three years
the Indians have raised no crops owing
to their being compelled to remain at the
Agency. Now when they leave the
Agency by permission of the Agent and
go to planting, their demand for rations
are denied on the ground that no rations
will be issued except on the presentation
ration tickets, and as the agent com-
pelled them to give op these tickets before
they were aUowed to go to Fort Apa-
che, the reason fori the denial of their
request does not seem apparent.
Unddr the treaty Made "with. General
;|$»ward, these Indians were to have
they remained on the
, wu yet when Captain
Dougherty gave permission for fifteen
men and ten women to go to the agency
Friday and solicit rations, the agent
replied that he eonld not issue subsis-
tence to the Indians at Fort Apache.

The Jolly Brewers.
Dktroit. May 17.—Attendauce was
light at the brewers convention this
morning. Report of the committee on
resolution* adopted; the resolutions in
effect are as follows:
First. AH attempts to proscribe drink
by legislation are both mischiv. .us and
beyond the proper powar of any govern,
meut established by the people; ttiat the
brew ing iu lustry is entitled to the same
considera ion as*other|legitima;e occupa-
tions.
Second. -That we shall not assume
to Influence legislation by corrupt meth-
ods, but when any poliilcal paity shall'
attempt to injures our rightful interests
bv dictatorial legislation coercing men's
private condu t. we shall sever our po-
dtleal ties and support the party sustaiu-
ing^er-onil freed m.
Third. We urge upon Congress the
propriety of reducing the tax on malt
liquors at least one half pre-ent amount,
be au<e, first, the revenue of govern-
ment is in excesss it* nee.is; and second,
its sound temperate policy, to encourage
use of malt liquors, the least stimulat-
ing and most nuirlous of alcoholic
drinks.
Fourth. We call upon congressmen
who are anxious to legislate for ilie
general interest to have duty on glass
bottles reduced to former rates.
Burning of Reduction Works.
Leadville, May 17.—'Ihe Harrison
Reduction Works,* located on Liarrison
avenue an i < hesmitt street, in fhiscity,
weie burned to the ground at an earl v
hour this morning, eutauing a lo-s of
perhaps §75,OOJ. Ti.e, are fully insured
in eastern companies. The origin of the
fire is not known. The fire was d scov-
ered hy boys at the ire hou-e. stout
forty feet away, issuing from the roof of
the stack of furn ue number two, and
the a arm was immediately given. A
small hose was bronghi into requisition,
and the men in -their haste made three
attempts to screw on ping before they
got to work with it. Only for this the
works might have l,een saved. By this
time the fire lia I made such ps ogress that
an alarm was turned in. and the depart-
ment was soon on ihe ground. Heavy
snow falling prevented the firemen from
throwing water, an I by the time they
got down to work the 11 ami s were raging
fiercely. In an nour and a half alter ihe
fire tvas discovered ihe works were con»-
p.etely gutted. It is understood they
will be immediately rebuilt for about
$65,000.
Texas School Lund.
Austin, May 17.—Acting State Treas-
urer has brought up an important qu's-
tion concerning a certain class of lands,
involving millions of dollars, anil reach-
ing purchasers all over the country. He
refused a tender of over $75,000 made
by parties for land puicliased, and
explained that certain zfltUoad compa-
nies holding laud certificates made a
claim on certain alternate school sec-
tions and had filed the survey's notes ta-
ken. Now parties claiming that these
surveys were "not valid, come forward
and proposed to pureli .ee the lands un-
der what is known as the lifty Cent law
and have tendered full payment for thos<*
they desired, including alternate school
sections with railroad sections. The last
legislature having declared the question-
able surveys by railroad for benefit of
schools valid, ilr. Worsham refused to
inclmle them as fifty cent lands. He of-
fered to receive money on railroad sec-
lions, but not on alternate sections.
Parties represented by Judge Hancock,
as their advi.-er. made their tenders for
both kinds in bulk, refusing to d vide
the question and thus raising an import-
ant issue with the state.
The Bodge City Trouble.
Topeka, Kan.. May 17.— Twelve citi-
zens of Dodge City are here this after-
noon in consultation with Governor
Gliek concerning the trouble- at Dodge.
They represented to him that the county
authorities weie amply able to keep the
peace and requested him not to interfere.
The governor said he was informed that
the sheriff was ready to preserve the
peace, and as long as he did. he should
not luterfere; but he should protect the
citizens who needed protection
A member of the com in ttee told an
associated press reporter to-night that
Short will not be.permiita 1 to go back.
He said Short had disobeyed the ordi-
nance, and said he was a bad man gen-
erally. If he attempts to coine he will
be ordered on, and if he persists on com-
ing, there maybe trouble. Short is here
and says he is going back; ju-t how or
when he does not Know. He will be
disguised, however.
A Cattle Expert Trip.
Chicago, May 17.—Mr. j. H. Saun-
ders, of this city, member of the United
States treasury cattle commission, leaves
for Europe next week on a special
government mission. It is understood
that his trip has a pai ticular reference to
restrictions now imposed upon our ex-
port cattle trade with Great .Britain, and
to our pork trade with Germany and
other European countries lie i- also
under instructions to examine into and
report upon dangers, if any, frotn con-
tagious and injections diseases, to which
live stock is exposed by further impor-
tation from European countries; to visit
and report on the International Live

A Crasy Freak.
Washington, May 17.—Owing to the

day. Before court adjourned Judge
Wyli referred to the ctazy lawyer
from England who still frequents the
court-house, aud declares it to be a dis~
grace that proper authorities had not
taken charge of him. The court had
ordered the baiifTs to exclude him from
the court house. For this he had
threatened to shoot the court, or rather
the person of the court. Of course this
threat would have been disregarded had
he been sane, but as it was no one knew
but whac it might be acted upon by the
unfortunate man.
