July 27, 1961: The Taos Pueblo Indians' attempt to seize a large block of Carson National Forest has been branded 'wholly unjustified' in a resolution adopted by the New Mexico Wildlife Conservation Assn. The Indians are asking the government for 50,000 acres containing Blue Lake, part of CNF and the Village of Taos. They recently posted no trespassing signs around the Carson forest land. The resolution signed by Don Burnett, WCA president and Elliott S. Barker, secretary, stated that the Carson land had been under administration of the United States Forest Service 'for more than a half century for the benefit of all the people, and prior to that time, the area was available for use by the general public.' The group's resolution acknowledged that Indians have exclusive grazing privileges free of charge in the Blue Lake area and complete privacy during their three-day annual religious ceremonies held at the lake.

July 27, 1986: Santa Fe police got a little help Saturday night when witnesses to a hit-and-run accident chased two suspects down and dragged them back to the scene. A young bicyclist was hit by a car at Cerrillos Road-Guadalupe Street intersection. The green car, which had two occupants, ran a red light, hit the girl and fled. Two men in a pickup pursued the car for several blocks to a house. The men then entered the home and, with the aid of a hammer, persuaded the suspects to come along with them. They took them back to the scene where police took over the situation.
