Deming, N. M., Nov. 25.—The rendi-
tion of “A Scr tp of Paper” in the op-
era house Thursday evening by local
talent was a thorough success, Tne
audience was large, and each and every
participant portrayed his or her differ-
ent character to advantage. Quite a
neat sum was realized for the Episco-
pal church, for whose benefit it was
given. The cast comprised: Misses
Nona Ashenfelter, Nellie Field, Lillie
Smith, Etta Ashenfelter, Augusta Rai-
thel, Mrs. N. A. Bolichf Messrs. James
G. Gwinn, Wm. M. Holliday, MaxHey-
mann, W. K, Burnside and W. B. Wal
ton.
Mr Casey, manager of the Coronado
ranch near Duncan. Arizona, arrived
in this city last evening He reports
that “Kid” and his band of renegades
made their appearance at his ranch
late Monday evening and’ killed several
head of stock. The Indians were well
mounted, and stopped long enough to
shoe their horses with the hides of the
beef they had killed. The party com-
prised nine members, and the cowboys
about the ranch were not sufficient in
number to give them battle. No
attempt was made by the renegades
to destroy any of the ranch prop-
erty. Lieutenant Glasgow was no-
tified by telegraph this morning of the
whereabouts of the hand, and it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the troops will
at once renew the pursuit. It is not
known where the Indians secured their
horses, but the supposition is that they
were stolen from some of the numerous
ranches in the vicinity of Duncan.
The new factory of the Fanning Ex
tract company is rapidly approaching
completion, and it is thought every-
thing will be reaily for active opera-
tions by the first of the year. Switches
have been put in, and the plant is now
in ready access to both the Santa Fe
and Southern Pacific tracks. Several
hundred tons of canaigre root have
already been stored for the C’omthenoe
ment of work, and several hundred
men are engaged in the digging of the
same. The industry promises to be
one of the most important in southern
New Mexico.
Mrs. Parker, better known as the
‘ Kid,"who is now under arrest at Las

dent of this city several years and is
well known hereabouts.
Thanksgiving Day was very quietly
observed in Deming. Besides the gen-
eral suspension of business, there was
little out of the usual routine.
The interest on the bonds of this

still uupaid. The Silver City Sentinel
remarks that it is not a very high oom-
pliment to Grant county to have the
interest on its bonded indebtedness
defaulted for nearly five mom hs.
Sheriff Lockhart is making every ef-
fort to collect delinquent taxes, pre-

ioned wind and dust storm Thanksgiv-
