ÜB-'-no I. eyba’a Daring Life and Sucl
* den Death—One of the Most Desper
ate Characters Who Ever Made Life
8 Burden to the Peaceful Inhabitants
of New Mexico.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Marino Ley ha was a convict briokmolder
s t the New Mexico penitentiary, sentenced
tosecen years at hard labor for stealing a
horso and attempting to kill the officer who
arrested him. He was a Mexican, a giant
in stature and a tiger in disposition, and
ff t, en in the mood would tight anything.
He would kill a man as quick as he would a
rabbit. He was notorious as a horse-thief
before the law gripped him. But back
cf bis artistic method of taking the horses
mi cattle of the ranchers was a dark back
ground of more serious crimes.
Col. Potter, an eastern capitalist with
large investments in New Mexico, traveled
a lonely trail in the Saudia mountains once
too often. His body was found, or rather
toe charred remains, for an attempt had
been made to cremate it, with a bullet-hole
in the bead. The murder was charged to a
baud of robbers w hich at that time infested
tbe Sandies, and Leyba was known to be
one cf their number—probably the leader.
This was within thirty miiee of .Santa Be
and Albuquerque, where Col. Potter had
manvfrienus. People determined to break
up tne gang, whose operations were around
the mining camps of San Pedro, Dolores
and Golden, and organized a posse for that
p r; use. l'bey cornered the gang in a little
Alencan town, and swung every one of
them from the projecting vegas by lariats—
all exeunt Leyba, who was not there.
He organized another band of stock
thieves, ho carried on thoir business for
two years with a certain pretended ranch
man to “handle the goods.” Tbe ranchman
quarreled with Leyba over the price of a
stolen horse and was shrewd enough to land
him in the penitentiary for soven years.
Toe murder of Col. Potter had not" Lee i
forgotten, but time aud the summary exe
cution of all bu“ one of the gang had less
ened public indignation; besides, ail who
might have boon witno-ses against Leyba
were dead, and seven years was a long sen
tence. During the trial the desperado
threatened to kill the prosecuting
attorney, William Breeden; but
once wllhiu tbe stone walls,
covered by shotguns during the day, and
locked in a strong 7x5 cell at nigh , Leyba
changed his tactics and become a model of
good behavior and iadus re. Ho was the
best hnckmolder in the yard, aud whenever
a row occurred among the convicts he al
ways helped the ofiioers to quell it. One
day Carlos Jaeome, a belligerent young
Mexican convict, who wore shackles most
of the time for bad conduct, started to
fight, and with a blow from lus Ha: Leyba
knocked him into a helpless heap. At an
opportune time the ranchman, who had sent
Leyba to the penitentiary, appeared before
tha governor seemingly much cast down
and conscience troubled. He apologized
for his hand in the affair. His dreams were
haunted and his wakiug Bhouts were bit
terness itself. Leyba was innocent and he
pleaded for a pardon. The fact was that
tbe business of stealing horses and cattle
was languishing in ihe absence of the alert
and daring manager. In the course of time
the governor was pursuaded and the pris
oner get bis pardon.
Once more in the wilds of the Sandias
Leyba lost no time in making himself a ter
ror to the people there. He knew every
trad, every rocky canon, the almost im
penetrable aud silent forest which shielded
only the mountain Hon, the bear—safe re
treats after excursions to the mining camps
and ranches. There were murders and rob
beries by somebody well posted on the com
ings and goings along the mountain roads.
At first tue desperado was seldom seen.
Afterward he grew bolder and ap
peared in San Pedro. Golden aud
Cerri ia3, where bo drank and ca
roused with men who did not care to
fight so long ns they were unmolested. He
was always well armed, fearless, and an
unerring shot, and his back never turned
toward anybody who might be likely to
take it for a mark. He had his friends
among ex-convicts and other hard charac
ters. And there were men, too, who would
have been willing to put the finishing touch
on iris career, only that there were so many
pistols and skilled bands to manipulate
them that there would have been a whole
sale killing.
But this could not last. It hurt these
flourishing mining camps, kept investi
gators out and capital away, and made
life too exciting and uncertain. A strong
protest went up to the sheriff of Kata Fo
county, and he at once commissioned two
men as deputies, who were well fitted to
carry out their directions, to take Leyba
aii'e or dead. These deputy sheriffs were
Joaquin Sloutoya, an ex-guard at the peni
tentiary, handy in the use of the knife and
Lstol, and Carlos Jncom, the victim of
yba’s fist, who had finished his term in
tbs penitentiary.

Itey were well mounted and each armed

the afternoon of the second day they were

had been seen to enter Golden. It was twi

A TRE ’3 LIFE.
How Ita Period of Existence Makes
Ihat of Man Seem Very i*rief.
From the lV'a,s,'tin ;f >n ts ar.
One realizes with some vivid idls that man
is a creature of few days when looking upon
a section of a great tree exhibited in the
National Museum, to winch there is at
tached an lngonioas chart showing what
great events have been oontrmn -raneous
with the life of this monster of the forest.
The tree of which the chronology is thus
given Is a tulip tree and started to grow, a
young seedling in the Mississippi valley
during the year 1555. It precise age is
known, because to determine that point
absolutely is simply a matter of couuting
rings—one for each twelve-month—in the
or- ss section, which was obtained by saw
ing. Thus it is readily seen what particu
lar ring was the bark of the tree, defining
i>s circumference at any given year of its
age.
In 1558 the tree sprang from a seed and
saw ti.e first season of its existence when
yueeu Elizabeth me nded the throne. Three
successive coats of bark It had assumed
wneu Bacon, the future philispber, wa3
born. By the time it had increased its
dimensions by one more ring Khnkspearo
had come into the world. It was bigger by
eight more rings wheu the massacre of St.
Bartholomew occurred. Six rings in ad
dition had increased the bulk of the tree
when, in 1578, Sir Francis Drake discovered
the harbor* of San Francisco.
Seven more seasons, represented by as
many rings, saw tobacco introduced into
England from A irglnia, and also wimessed
the settling of Roanoke in that state by Sir
vV alter Raleigh. While the third ring after
those events was forming the Spanish Ar
made was destroyed and Mary, Queen of
Scots, beheaded. Fifteen more rings and
Queen Elizabeth died, the crowns of Eng
land aud Scotland being united in the same
year, which was also that of the famous
Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot for blowing
up the Englisu houses of parliament.
When the tulip tree had assumed five
more overcoats, in 1008, news camj of the
invention of the telescope, as well as the
making of the present version of the Bible.
Five more rings and the Dutch settled at
New York, where their descendants still
form the molt exclusive aristocracy. The
second ring afterward iv is in process cf
growing when the first daily newspaper In
the world was established. "Throe rings in
addition and the great Thirty Years’ war
had begun in Germany. Again two rings
and the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, New
Jersey being colonized in the iame year by
the Dutch. Still another ring and cotton
began to be planted in the colonies. Nina
more layers of bark and Boston was settled;
an ex ru one aud the birth of the poet Dry
den appeared on the parish r@f~i.-tor.
Still the tree kept on gr owing, adding to
its tire bv three moro rings by the t ine
that, in iC34. Richelieu founded the French
academy and Maryland was settled. Eight
rings on top of these uud the civil war in
England was begun, Sir Isaac Newton
o ming into the world at the commence
ment of the strife. Three more overcoats
he tree, now grown to large size, had put
on when Charles I. was defeated at the bat
tle of Naaeby an l Archbishop Laud was
beheaded. When yet another three rings
had been assumed the Thirty Years’ war
came to an end, and the very next ring
grew in the same season wben'the common
wealth was declared in England and
Charles I. beheaded. Four more rings aud
Cromwell wus made protector. But seven
outside of these had to be formed before the
restoration of the monarchy in England.
Another ring and Defoe, destined to be
tbe author of Immortal “Robinson Crusoe,”
was born. Four on top of theso aud Milton
was writing “Paradise Lost” in the year
of the great plague of London—l66s. One
ring more aud the great fire of London fol
lowed tl.e disaster of the plague. Fifteen
riugs and La Salle explored the Mississippi
river an extra ring and William Penn set
tled Pennsylvania, La Salle exploring
Louisiana In the same year.
Six rings and there was a revolution In
England; one more and William and Mary
ascended the English throne. Ada eleven
ring* and the population of the colonies had
reached 262,000. Four riugs in addition to
these and Marlborough won the victory at
Blenheim. Two rings again and Frankltn
was born; four more and the piano was in
vented; four more and Louis XIV. died,
George I becoming king in the same year;
thirty-six more and the population of the
colonies was 1,001,000.
That was in 1759. But the tulip tree had
not reached maturity yet. It still kept on
at the rate of a ring a year, having added
four more by the time the French and
Italian war began; five on top of these and
Schiller was born. Six more rings and u
declaration of rights was made by the
colonies; six more again and Sir'Walter
Scott was born; three more and the tea
was thrown overboard in Boston harbor;
two more and ;) raddock was defeated,
the American revolution immediately
following. Nine more rings the tree added
before peae was made with Great
Britain, and five on top of these when the
constitution was adopted aud President
Washington i augurated, the French revo
lution broaking out in tbesame year. Three
more ring* and Illuminati g gas was first
used; another one and Whitney invented
the cotton gin; six more and Washington
died; five more aud Napoleon was made em
peror.
Three rings be-ide the tree had added
when Fulton ascended the Hudson in a
stoamb >at: another, and tho slave trade was
abolished; three more, and war was declared
with Great Britain; six more, aud the first
steamship crossed the Atlantic; six more,
and. in 1825, the first railway for passengers
was iu use, kerosene coming in for lighting
purposes in the same year. Four more rings,
and friction mate .es were first employed;
six more, and the electric telegraph was in
vented; five more, and postage stamps came
iuto"use; four more, and anaesthesia was
discovered; five more, and Sir John Frank
lin statted on his expedition to the north
role; three more, and sewing machines were
first made.
And still the tree grew. It had increased
in circumference by seven rings when, in
1855, th 6 Atlantic cable was laid. It kant
on growing a ring a year during the war of
the rebellion, formed a fresh layer of bark
when the electric light was invented in
1874, was in the bloom of old age at the
time of the subsequent introduction of the
telephone and phonograph, aud was only
cut down iu the year 1885, during which
Cleveland was inaugurated. It was only
after sawing out the seoti a now shown at
the National Museum that it wa3 learned
just how long this pride of the woods bad
lived and what a wonderful series of events
in history it had survived.

Alluding to an article in a Scotch journal
by VV. K. Henley, which declares that the
habit of smoking is spread! ng among fash
ionable women in England, Sliss Gilder says
in a letter to the Transcript:
I am surprised that so keen a national ob
server should have ju t awakened to the
fact that cigarette smoking is fashionable
in London, it has been for years, though it
is not so common there as in this country.
It seems to me that half the women ona

of the most conservative aud

GIANT APES OF EORNEO.
Interesting Facta About Able-Bodied
Anthropoids That Live in Trees.
From the Washington Star.
“My acquaintance with apes has been
chiefly male lu Borneo,” said Prof. Henry
A. Ward, the fam ms uatunl science col
lector of Rochester to a reporter the other
day. “That great island is the home of tbe
orang, which is the most arboreal of all
monkeys. The animals live in trees alto
gether, rarely, if ever, visiting the ground.
It takes two good marksmen to shoot one.
because they dodge around the
trunks. They do all their fighting aloft,
and it is great fun to see them drop tbe
armfuls of fruit they have guthsred in con
tests for its possession. They are plentiful
in the lowlands near the coast. It is rarely
that anyb >dy ventures into tbe interior, be
cause there the head-limiting natives prowl.
Among them each man is required to have
secured a head bef .ro ho is permitted to
marry, and on this account the young
gentiemau savages are continually looking
about fir something to kill. This makes
traveling disagreeable.
“One of the most noticeable features of
the landscape of Borneo 1, the nests of
orangs which are scattered about thickly
among the tall trees. From their number
one might get agreatly exaggerated impres
sion of the plentifuluess of the species unless
it were understood how and for what pur
poses these roosting places were constructed.
The beasts are greatly annoyed by Hies,
from which they are able to protect the
front part of their bodies with their hands,
but they cannot keup the vicious insects
from biting them in the rear, and so they
gather a quantity of leaves and
branches and make them into couches to
repose against among the boughs. A pro
tection of this sort serves very well lor
awhile, but presently the material begins to
dec mposs and the decaying leaves attract
the flies which the orang is so anxious to
get rid of. Then he is obliged to make
another nest of fresh stuff, and so he may
require dozens of them in the course of the
year. Inasmuch as he does not take ihe
trouble to remove tbe old ones they remain
to adorn the tree top in which he swings
about.
“Orangi have a very curious n ethod of
fighting, lu their conflicts among them
selves, which are frequent, their effort is
always to seize tha fingers of their adver
saries and bite them. Avery beautiful
group of these animals at the National Mu
seum, mouuted by Mr. Hornaday, admir
ably ill stratus a typical encounter of the
son. It is owing to this method of battle
that it is almost impossible to procure a
skin that does not lock some of the fingers.
If defending itself against a man the Least
will always attempt to grab the arms of his
h man opponent so ns to chew off his
fingers. For this purpose Its jaw is excel
lently adapted, being enormously powerful
and equipped with huge incisors.
“This favorite fruit of orang is the
‘durion’ fruit, which is perhaps the most
delicious in the world, uniting as it does the
ftavors of the peach, tuep arand the straw
berry. Like most things nearly perfect,
however, this fruit has a drawback—
namely, that it leaves a taste in tbe rnoulh
the next day after it is eaten which is more
abominable than can either be described or
conceived. To protect its .-If from the
rain the orang crooks its arms over its
head. The hair on the oraug’s upper arm
points downward, while on the lower arm
it points upward, the apparent purpose
being to shed the rain like a thatch wheu
tbe attitude I have described is assumed.
“The other great ape which makes its
home in Borneo is the gibbon, which is a
sin-ill animal ootnp&red with the orang,
weighing only about forty or fifty pounds.
It is very frail iu ita bodily make-up. The
head is set squarely upon the shoulders and
it looks upward. VV ben walking on the
ground it balances itself along like a
walker on the tight-rope. Its remarkable
power of grasp and dexterity in usiDg its
hatid3 is equally with the sbapo of its
oranium an index of its superior intelligence,
perhaps because it is able to take hold of a
greater number oft Dings and examine
them. The gibbon is a natural acrobat.
Its trapeze performances in trees are simply
marvelous.
“The animals go in droves, whereas
orangs live by families, and one of the most
interesting spectacles imaginable is to sen a
troop of them crossing a great gap in the
forest by throwing themselves in succession
through the air, each one taking a swing
or two to gather momentum before launch
ing himself. So great is their agility that
in executing feats of this sort they seem
like birds.
"Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them alwa s as human
beings of inferior types, and it is for this
reason that for a long time it was found im
possible to get hold of an entire gorilla skin,
because the savage- considered it religicsly
necessary to cut off the hands and feet of
the animals when they killed them, just as
they do with their enemies, possibly for the
purpose of rendering them harmless in
case they should by any chance come to life
again,”
FERDINAND AND HELEN.
A Reconciliation Takes Place Between
the Two Lovers.
From the Thttsburij Dispatch.
Paris, Oct. 10.—A reconoiliation between
Mile. Vacaresco and Prince Ferdinand has
taken place and the details of it are just
made public to-day.
It seems that the breaking off of the en
gagement was brought about by false l.tters
and telegrams sent to each of the lovers,
and which made them mutually believe that
the other’s affectiou had grown cold and
clammy. But the matter was cleared up
while the prince was visiting with a family
where Mile. Vacaresco spent much of her
time.
The prince noticed when his visit was
young that the attentions of his host were
not as ardent as heretofore, and finally
when the indifference became so marked
that he felt justified in noticing it, he
frankly asked the reason, and was just as
frankly told it was due to his conduct
toward the lady.
Derna .ding an explanation, be learned
that a telegram had been received by Mile.
Vacaresco w hich was supposed to emauate
from him, and was of s ,ch a nature as not
to be merely offensive, but which was an
actual breaking off of all acquaintance be
tween them.
The prince was highly indignant at this
deception that had been practised upon both
of them, and additionally so because be
knew not whom to suspect.
He at once sent a message to Mile. Vaca
resco asking whether she would believe his
word that he bad never sent any such dis
patch as that she had received. The young
lady replied that (the believed him abso
lutely, to wutch the prince responded that
they never would again be separated,

A Farmer Meets His Death In a Moat
Horrible Manner. *
from the Hew York Advertiser.
Topbka, Kan., Oct. 10.— John Land, a
farmer who lived seventeen miles southeast
of Topeka, met with a terrible death yes
terday.
In the morning he went to his feeding
yards to take care of his stock, and as he
did not return for breakfast as soon as was
extracted, his wifo want to look for him.
In tha hog yard she found her husband’s
body with forty or fifty hogs fighting over
it and tearing it to pieces.
Land’s face was badly disfigured, ar.d the
fingers of both hands had been eaten off.
He had probably been dead half an hour
or more when the body was found.
