l lollipop HANGING

Four New iiexican Rascals Get Their
Deserts on the Gallows.

RAN TEINGS IN OWN WAY.

The Crime \Vhich Led to the Undoing of
the Gang of Desperadoes—Catron’s
Seat In the Legislature—The
Beginning of the Trouble.

Santa Fe, April 3.—Francisco Gon-
zales y Borrego, Antonio Gonzales y
Borrego, Lauriano Ala'rid and Patricio
Valencia, members of the so called
“Button gang” condemned to death for
the murder of ex-Sheriff Frank Chavez,
who 'was killed from ambush on the
night of May 29, 1892, were hanged to-
gether on one scaffold today. The men
had been respited twice, once by Presi-
dent Cleveland and recently by Presi-
dent McKinley, who, however, refused
yesterday to interfere further.

Doings of the Gang.

A bloody chapter of New Mexico his-
tory closes with the execution of the
death sentence of these four murderers.
The infamous “Button gang,” of which
they were leaders, was organized by T.
B. Catron and his associates to combat
the political influence of Frank Chavez,
leader of the Democratic natives.

In the winter of 1891-2 Catron’s right’
to a seat in the legislature was contest—
ed, and when the legislature met -he
called on the members of the “Button
gang” to arm themseltes and assemble
in the capitol to support him. The gang
assembled, armed with weapons secret-
ly furnished from the state peniten-
tiary, whose warden was Catron’s tool,
and a wholesale killing Was averted
only by a vote to seat Catron.

Believing that they had intimidated
the legislature, the members of the
league determined to do their "patron”
the further service of removing Frank
Chavez from his political path.

A conspiracy to assassinate Chavez

was formed by the executive committee

of the “Button gang,” consisting of
Hypolite Virgil, Frank Gonzales y Bor-
rego, Antonio Borrego, Lauriano Ala-
rid, Patricio Valencia, Frank Riveria,
Juan Gallegos and a few others.

Juan Gallegos weakened, and after
writing a note to Chavez informing him
of the plot and giving the names of the
others in the conspiracy fled from the
territory. Chavez was led into ambush
by Atilano Gold, a pretended friend. on
the night of May 29, 1892, and shot to
death. .

A reign of terror followed in Santa
Fe. Everybody knew that the “Button
gang" had murdered weaves, but the

, assassins and their~backers had control

of the machinery of the law, the dis-
trict attorney and sheriff were oath—
bound members of the league and Cat-
ron’s money and influence were all
powerful.

The Last Straw.

For declaring that he knew who killed
Chavez Juan Pablo Dominguez was shot
down by Antonio and Frank Borrego
and “Chico” Alarid. Two days later
Frank Borrego gave himself up, plead-
ed self defense, produced his brother and
Alarid as witnesses, was tried before a
jury selected by the Button gang sher-
iff and was acquitted.

This was the state of affairs when
Governor Thornton was appointed in
1893. He removed District Attorney
Tweechell and Sheriff Conlin and ap-
pointed ncw men. The new sheriff be—
gan hunting for evidence, and the dis-
trict attorney procured a confession
from Riverla.

Another of the conspirators confessed
in January, 1894. Virgil, Borrego and
others went to T—Iiveria. and, with guns
at his head. compelled him to go to Ca-
tron’s oflice and make an affidavit that
his confession had been extorted from
him under duress.

Sheriff Cunningham and Deputies
Tucker and Otero suddenly appeared
on the street with rifles and shotguns.
Frank Borrcgo, armed with two re—
volvers and with his pockets full of
cartridges, was the first “wanted” man
encountered. The sheriff leveled his ri-
fle at him, and Borrego threw up his
hands. Hypolite Virgil, chief of police,
coroner and school director, resisted and
was killed.

Antonio Borrego, Chico Alarid, Patri-
cio Valencia and Frank Riveria were
arrested later. .

Frank Riveria, Louis Gonzales and
other minor members of the gang turn-
ed state’s evidence and confessed the
conspiracy, and Riveria, when confront—
ed by Catron with his affidavit denying
his own confession, told how that affi-
davit had been forced from him.

When the case finally came to trial,
in April, 1895, the four prisoners were
found guilty of murder in the first de—
gree. '

The Austrian Cabinet ()ut.

Vienna, April 3. — The Neue Freie
Presse says that the cabinet has re—
signed owing 110 its failure successful-
ly to negotiate with the Progressist
groups with the object of forming a
coalition majority. It is expected that
Count Badeni, the present president of
the council of ministers and minister
for the interior, will be intrusted with
the task of reconstructing the cabinet.

HEAVY ssrrsree res muss;

The Brooklyn Pyromanino Must Serve
Tchty Years In Prison.

Brooklyn, April 3,—Hugh C. Miller,
the self confessed incendiary, who was,
arrested on Monday afternoon imme—
diately after he had set. fire to a build-
ing in Vanderbilt avenue,’ and who on
the following day admitted that he had
been responsible for the fire for which
he was arrested, together with others,
was today sentenced to 20 years in
Sing Sing prison. After he was arrest-
ed and had pleaded guilty he sent a
letter to Judge Hurd of the county-
court explaining that his mind had
been impaired by the excessive use of
cigarettes and asking the court to
Show him some mercy in the sentence
which was to be imposed. '

When he was arraigned before Judge
Hurd he was asked if he had anything
to say why sentence should not be
passed. He said that he had not, but.~
merely asked for mercy. Judge Hurd
informed him that he had received his
letter, but he could not see why mercy
should be shown him, as this was the
second, time that he had been arrested
for setting fires, and it was evident
that he was a dangerous man to be at
liberty, and that he had no other al-
ternative than to send him to Sing
Sing for 20 years. Miller was arrested
in 1891 for a series of fires to which he
confessed, in one of which six lives
were lost. At that time on account of
his youth he was sent to the Elmira
reformatory and after serving two
years was released. "

Adolph Steinberg. one of the Brook—
lyn incendiaries, who pleaded, guilty to
setting fire to his home, 146 Snedeker
avenue, Brooklyn, in February, 1884,
was today sentenced to 10 years’ im-
prisonment in Sing Sing.

Chance For American Rollin-alters.

Washington, April 3.——United States
Consul Read, at Tientsin, has supplied
the state department with a copy of a
call issued by the imperial railways of
north China for 10,200 tens of railroad
rails, with suitable quantities of plates,
bolts and spikes. The. consul says the
only chance American manufacturers
have to bid is by telegraph.

llIore Time For Horseshoors.

Albany, April 3.-——Horseshoers of New
York city who failed to'register under
the commission and license not of last
year may have the month of April to
register and avoid an examination, as
Governor Black has signed Assembly-
man Hill’s bill to extend the time of
registration for 30 days. -

Brooklyn Regulars Beaten.

feated by the colts, the score being 13

wan, Daub and Smith; regulars, Ken-
nedy, Dunn and McCauiey.

California Catarrh Cure will instantly re.
lieve and speedily cure you. .

Mr. H. L. Woodworth, of l Burbank
street, South Norwalk, says: “I have
been troubled with catarrh for some
time; my head and rose seemed pretty
well stuffed up, and the quantities of mat-
ter that run into my throat at night,
would cause me to hawk, spit, and often
gag in .the morning, before I could clear
my throat. I got some California Ca-
tarih Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, and
already these symptoms are very much
better. My throat is finely free from all
matter in the morning, and my whole
head feels much clearer.”

California Calanh Cure is for you, too.
In case of colds it is invaluable, as it
helps in breaking them up, and entirely
prevents a cold "hanging on,” as well as
attacks of acute catarrh which so often
follow a severe cold in the bead
