Government asks to dismiss Geronimo lawsuit

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department is asking a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought by descendants of the Apache Geronimo, whose remains were purported to be stolen by members of a secret society at Yale University.

The government filed the motion June 10 to oppose a lawsuit filed in February by 20 of Geronimo’s descendants, who want to rebury the warrior near his birthplace in southern New Mexico’s Gila Wilderness.

Geronimo died in 1909. The lawsuit alleges that Skull and Bones members took some of the remains in 1918 from a burial plot in Fort Sill, Okla., to keep in its New Haven clubhouse.

Both Presidents Bush, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and many others in government and industry positions are members of the society, which is unaffiliated with the university.

Dead cat draws neighbors' suspicion

Albuquerque animal control officers say a coyote, not a human being, is to blame for a cat mutilation that shocked pet owners in several Downtown neighborhoods.

Half a cat--neatly sliced--no blood--no guts--the bottom half of the cat missing. Neighbors feared some kind of animal abuse.

Barbara Grothus found the cat on the lawn.

"The rib cage was completely bare inside--like a turkey--like you would have your Thanksgiving turkey," she said.

Grothus said there wasn't much of the cat left.

"It was completely - inside there was not an organ - it was clean to the bone. The bones they were completely intact - and the ribcage and the front legs and the head of the cat," she said.

The country club and nearby Downtown neighborhoods are heavily populated with cats. As word of Grothus' discovery spread, pet owners began suspect a Satanist might be responsible for the cat's precise dismemberment.

"I read the e-mail from our neighborhood association about the cat being gutted and dismembered - and it wasn't like an animal killing or anything. It was done by somebody who was very sick," resident Linda Falvey said.

City animal control officers say a coyote probably killed the cat--there are several lurking in the area. They say coyotes are known to attack pets near the river--with the same precision as the cat was killed.

City ordinance forbids cats wandering out of the owner's yard. Although it is impossible enforce, the animal welfare department advises owners to keep cats in the house.

I had only vaguely heard about this before. It is really amazing that there isn't a bigger deal made of it. I mean, the news channels go crazy if someone kills a dozen people somewhere, but here we have 500 and I hear almost nothing.

Clovis man killed in wind storm

Wow!

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - A Clovis man was killed after a blast of wind caught a door of a semitrailer and slammed him into a loading dock wall.

Curry County Undersheriff Wesley Waller says 35-year-old Juan R. Chavez suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital. Waller says the freak accident happened Saturday morning as Chavez was prepping the truck at the Southwest Cheese.

Southwest Cheese Human Resources Manager Brenda Miller says Chavez was a warehouse operator. He had worked at the plant since it opened in October 2006 and was a well-liked employee.

The wind was part of a spring wind storm that pounded eastern New Mexico Saturday with 65 mph gusts.
