Upon these luuus the company borrowed $800,000, to be ued upon tlu construction of the load. They Lave sold a Iar,'e portion of them at an average prico of $fo per acre.

Th') body of the interpreter was found several miles from that of Cadette. It seems that Cadette had ridden nearly 20 miles af after - ter after be bad killed tho interpreter, but being shot in tho breast, had dismounted, tied hi horse and laid down to die. By his side, when found, was a can'.een part full of whiskey i.ud his knife. Since his death tli9 body of a man has been found between Tularosa n.nd tttanton, no doubt killed by the Indians. Latf.h. We have seena letter from Maj. Clcndenin, stating that the opiuion is enter tabled that Cadette and the interpreter g jt into a difficulty on the road and that Cadei to killed the interpreter and was himself mortaly wounded in the fray. Ihf position of the bodies seem to wurran this idea. The body of a man wasfoun dead between Tularosa and Stanton, no doubt killed by Indians. Later from Tularosa. We learn by parties just iu that the In Indians - dians Indians although uilecting to believe that Ca Cadette - dette Cadette was killed by w hites, have as yet made no hostile demonstrations. Maj. Clendenin was at Tularosa and had sent ft r Mr, Cur'is the agent, to meet him at the place to more fully investigate the utfair, There are said to be about one hundred and fifty Coman ches camped near Fort Stanton. They pro profess - fess profess peace, but it is more than probable thej are there to induce the -Mescaleros to join them in hostilities. We yet have strong hope that Mr. Curtis and tho military may 1'irret out the murderers, and prevent a ge general - neral general oubreak, Up to this (Thursday) morning we have notning further from Tularcsa, except that we learn no out brerk has yet oicitrred al al-thourh - thourh al-thourh the Indians are sullen. We hope to hear before going to press whether tho kil killing - ling killing ot'Cadetie has been fixed with any cer certainly - tainly certainly upon any party. Justas we go to press we learn that Maj. Cleudeiiiiiu has come in, and that the In Indians - dians Indians have made the brother of Cadette Chief, iu his place. '1 hey suspect a Mexican nalned Chaves of the murder, btt the Mex" icans suy they can trail Cadeite from where ihe interpreter was found. They say they are willing that the authorities shall ferret out the murder and will abide by their ac' tion. We congratulate Maj. Curtis and the military upon their success in preventing what was Lared would be a general out outbreak. - break. outbreak. Also that the Sersant sent out Lv Gen. Devin with a detachment of troops, trailed the ludiaLs who kiilsk Brown and the Mexi Mexican - can Mexican into the reservation anrl tound two hors es they brought in. Four Ind aus had left the reservation wiih a pass a short time pre ious, to go and tee Capt. Jelferds.

Here is a littlo joke on our baby railroad, which is told with charity for tho management- and without ma malice - lice malice toward the road, Tho incident really occurred, and is vouched for by numerous witnesses. On Monday morning a party of twelve left Central on tho mail coach, about an hour behind the ad vanee coaches for the end of track. When they arrived at the depot, the train had gone. While discussing the situation in language profoundly if not profanely emphatic, tho Stan tion agent "allowed" that if the twelv.c started ahead on foot and "let out right lively," they could overtake the train, 83 it had been gone only ten minutes. Wei!, they "let out" after it. A few who were incx pensively ornamented with baggage, tool: the lead and kept it, overhaul overhauling - ing overhauling the train at tho old toll-gate thid side of the Junction. Capturing the Conductor, they persuaded him by the use of a few gentle terms, to hold his train for the balance, who were on tie way. They arrived shortly, got aboard, and the party moved on down through the canon to Golden, without further trouble. Our infor informant, - mant, informant, who writes from Denver, says: "That was the first timo that I ever engaged in a 'stern chase' after a pas' scngt-r train, which had ton minutes the start, and beat it the first two miles," He adds, in closing, that on leaving Central, ho put on a double supply of wartr clothing, and there fer hadn't suffered any in conseque ce of the cold, it was much colder there than hire, however' Central Cdj Rejider.
