Railroad Suppositions.
It has been officially announced by
the management of the Atchison,
Topeka S: Santa Fe railroad that the
Atlantic & Pacific system will be sev
ered from its control about the first of
the year and allowed to be sold, under
the mortgage held by those who are
also heavily interested in the Southern
Pacific.
This means only one thins'. If the
property is purchased by the Southern
Pacific, the Santa Fe will undoubtedly
build their extension west from this
point to the coast via, Fairoank to
Guaymas, and recent utterances of
those high in railroad circles indicate
that this is what will be done. The
Atlantic & Pacific has never been a
paying- proposition, and tbe extension
from this place to FairbaDk will afford
a better outlet than the northern road.
Ma' f3rs have been shaping to this
end for the past year, and it looks as
if Deming will soon have another rail
road. Should the extension be con
structed from here to Fairbank, divi
sion headquarters and extensive shops
will be established and Demiug will be
the most important railroad center
in the southwest. Deming Headlight.

THAT PRINTING CONTROVERSY.
A
Statement of Fets which Explain
why the Tiuns Failed To Get it.
As to that contract for furnishing
blanks and blank books etc.. for the
county attorney, investigation develop
es the following tacts:
The order was passed by the com
missioner's court empowering Judge
Harper and Mr. Courchesne to pur
chase blanks, and to have such blank
books made as the different offices
might require. After consultation it-
was agreed that Judge Harper should
make duplicated lists of blanks and
other forms needed and give to each of
the two local houses, Mr. Hull and the
Times, as they were the only ones pre
pared to do the work, a copy, and ask
bids for the whole lot, with an
estimate on eacn item separate
On the day that these bids
were asked for.Mr. Shock, representing
George D. Barnard iV Co , of St L.ouis,
called on Messrs. Courchesne and
Harper, and asked that he be allowed
to bid, on those things which the local
firms could not do, stating that he
could do it much cheaper. It was
decided to allow him to bid on the
whole bill, but he was informed that if
there was no great difference in the
bids the local houses should have the
work, although Barnard's bid might
be the lowest. The local houses were
informed that if they had the lowest
bid on any one or more items, they
could have the work lor those items
all bids to be in cash, and all printing,
nothing being said about lithograph
ing. The committee was informed that
Mr. Shock subsequently went to the
local houses and proposed that they
pool on the work;give him such as they
could not do, and such as of it as they
could not expect to make anything on;
they to do the bulk of the "bill. This
they refused to do. and he then said he
could make the job a graveyard for
them. Hull only bid oa part of the
items, and was higher on these than
the bid of Birnard & Co.
The Times refused to make an item
ized bid, and put in a bid for $i24
general fund scrip after cash bids were
asked for. Shock bid $414 cash for
letter heads, envelopes. jury certificates
and some other items, lithographed.
e separate bid on the letter beads
printed was received for about S40 less
than $414, or S.J. 4. Then the question
arose, what wouia oe tne iimes Dia in
cash? The Times' manager was sent
for, while the court was waiting. Some
one noticed that all the lists that had
been handed out, had the item, civil
and criminal envelope, telling bidders
to go to the officers and hud out what
was wanted, and that Mr. Shock had i
bid: $00 on this item: and his bid stated
patent manilla wruppers for civil and
criminal cases. The one item being so
large, it was suggested, that there
might be a -mistake on the part of
Times. Their manager came before
the court and was asked what he bid
oc; envelopes or patent wrappers? and
he informed the court that he had bid
on envelopes printed, acknowledging
that he did not go to the clerks to hna
oat what was wanted . The envelopes
would not till the bill and were very
much cheaper. The court then inform
ed him what Barnard's bill was on the
wrappers and what it was on the whole
biil, and asked what he could do the
whole work for in cash, including the
patent wrappers.
The manager figured on it and in
formed the court that $410 in cash was
the best he could do. This being $2
more than the bid of Barnard & Co. on
lithographing, and about $40 more on
all printing, the court could not do
otherwise than give the bill to Barnard
& Co. This was after consideringquite
a number of these things, such as that
the Times might have a misunder
standing about some other item, that
quite a number of blanks wanted were
"lanks necessary to comply with new
statutes for wnich no form had been
prepared, that Barnard had employed
two ex-members of the Texas supreme
court to look after lexas forms, that
they had them already prepared and in
use in other parts of the state; and that
if these blanks were made by a local
house some one must get up these
forms for them and they might turn up
wroug.
One of tne commissioners remarked
at the time the bids were all opened,
that if he was running the thing, such
as a bid as tne one put in oy tne
Times would not be considered at all.
So it seems that the members of the
court did everything they could in
justice to themselves and the county to
get tbe work clone at home; anu all
were anxious that it be done at home.
Myar's Opera House.
The bicycle craze is aptly burlesqued
and pantominally illustrated in this
year's production of Chas. H. Vale's
"Forever Devil's Auction," and Man
ager aie is to oe congratulated upon
the immediate hit of his successor to
his Trolley car pantomine which has
created no end of laughs the past two
or three seasons. The main point in
the success of the "Bicycle Craze" is
that it is timely, while the subject
itself is treated in such an absurd
manner as to prove more than funny to
the most blase theatre-goer. It deals
with the rather startling and realistic
experiences of that genius homo known
from Maine to California as the
'Hoboi" in an attempt to secure by
fair means or foul a number of the
'Silent Steeds'' and in their inability
to do so, they manufacture a few home
made machines from different articles
which are obtained under most trying
circumstances. A number of very
funny characters and incidents are
aptly introduced, and the eutire epi
sode goes Irom start to unisn with a
rush that proves conclusively that tlu
average audience recognize and ap
preciate anything1 that is novel and
timely, and in so doing stamp it with
the seal oi their approval, which means
in managerial parlance, capacity at
every performance. Friday matinee

SHINDY AT THE BRIDGE.
Mexican Soldiers Make a Hreak for
the
Land of Freedom and "Gits Thar."
Five Mexican soldier deserters escap
ed from the garrison over the river last
night about 8 o'clock, and put for this
side. Thev stood off tbe Mexican
bridge men on the south side of the
Santa Fe street bridge, and hurried
across. They had on their uniforms,
accoutrements and guns, and seemed
as though making in the direction of
Fort Bliss. Three sol dados passed the
customs inspector box as Inspector
Will Watson stepped out to take in the
show.
He atonce called on this armed in
vasion of his native country to hold on.
But the more he urged tbe more
hurriedly went the armed men. The
three had gone by as two more came
tramping after, and one of these,
showing his gun In Watson's face,
cried out in Spanish, "What is that to
you?"
Watson dodged bade as tne gun
went off, and the soldier ran away.
Watson pulled his six shooter, and
fired three shots after the ileeing
figure. The man fell, but got up and
managed to get away leaving his cap
and gun behind. The lovely outfit
then disappeared in the direction of
Chihuahuita. The police were notifi
ed. Tbe chief of police does not believe
that Watson was fired at, at all. He
says the night watchman at the Santa
vards states he did not bear but tbe
three shots, and other parties in that
neighborhood heard but the three
shots. So the chief thinks Watson's
imagination got the better of him.
The gun and cap are at the U. o.
custom house,and a cartridge bag with
other accroutrements are at the police
station. These last were found up near
the pump house by a Mexican boy who
gave them to Ed Watts and were hand
ed over by him to the police. The
numeral "19" is on the bag, as well as
the name found on the abandoned gun,
viz., Cruz Yvara, the name of one of
the deserting soldiers.
.1 he soldiers were seen later in tne
night making their way up the Santa
Fe track, and at last accounts were at
the smelter, evidently bound north into
New Mexico. It is claimed that the
mmigration inspector can arrest and
urn the deserters back into Mexico,
but they are probably bevond his
each by this time. There were other
soldier trappings found up the track by
Mexicans and lugged off into tbe
nearest jackals.

was readily recognized by a number of

to Boston where the Pullman conductor
said she was to have a family reunion.
However, he was uninformed as to the
report that she is to be given a public

that she will read a paper before th
ancient and honorable artillery of
Boston on baked beans and brown
bread as a steady article of diet in an

Mayor Arriola. of .Inarez, HeJpiug- Sup
press Raids on
El
Paso.
The haunts of Juarez thieves who
have been raiding this side of the
river were spotted yesterday by Officer
Hero'.d, who went at once to Mayor
Arriola, of Juarez, with the information
and a request for help. The mayor at
once called in the commandante and
told him to detail as many gendarmes
as Herold might want and to have them
make the raid under his guidance and
direction. Two trustworthy men were
so detailed, and Mr. Herold at once
went to a jackal to some distance west
from the carcel where he suspected the
stolen goods were hidden. The officers
searched the premises and found buried
or tucked away a tine silk dress, evi
dently of a brocaded pattern, a black
dress, a handsome cape with beaded
trimmings, a ladies jacket trimmed
with beads.half a dozen, dress patterns,
several shawls, two six shooters one a
io and one a 44, a window curtain, a
pump, & tent, and variety of minor art
icles. The occupants of the premises, a
negro, two Mexican men and one
Mexican woman were arrested, and the
stuff was removed to the ofliee of the
chief of police. Officer -Uerold is con
fident that the thieves have other
accomplices with additional 6tolen
property buried elsewhere, ail of which
will be ferreted out. The readiness
of Mayor Arriola to give assistance in
making the arrests and do what be can
in protecting El Paso people from
Juarez thieves is to be highly com
mended, and is making his administra
tion very popular on both sides of the
river.
A Brutal Assault.
The Morning Telegraph has the fol
lowing today: '-George E, Bovee has
gone 10 Lordsburg. N. M., to work for
the Koberts and Leahy Mercantile
company. George ought to have arrived
at this sensible conclusion some time
ago, instead of trying to make a crack
erjick on himself."
This is pretty tough on a worthy
citizen who has for sixty odd years
been trying to live a sober, righteous
and industrious life. When a man's
head becomes crowned with the boar
frosts of age and he is contemplating
with more or less delight the happy
prospects of "sweet beulab land" with
its corn and wine, to be thus ruthlessly
called a crackerjack, is just too heart
less aud unfeeling for anything. The
venerable gentleman is not iu town to
defend himself against this base attack,
but it may with reason be doubted if
he ever cast the shadow of one of his
legs athawrt the saddle of a bicycle.
The Christian church peoulo will
have a cabin with a large chimney on
the platform Christmas eve, and Santa
Glaus will make himself at home in
the cabin. Every child will be present
ed with a brick a paste board brick
full of good thintrs, and every nino will
receive tne same inmg, so tuere win oe
no crowing over unoiher with "I've
got something you haint. so now."
The exercises begin at 7:.'!0.

"ot Much of a "Triunfo."
Under the heading of "Triunfo Para
Mejieo," our esteemed Juarez contem
porary Revista Internacional, prints
the following: 'Commissioner Sexton,
United States extradition aerent for
this part of the frontier, returned to
the governor of Chihuahua the extra
dition documents in which was asked
the persons of Demetrio Cortez, Somon
Rede and accomplices, charged with
robbery, homicide and arson, protest
ing that the said documents had not
come attended by English translations.
A complaint against tins proceeding
was taken before tbe U. S. government,
and Secretary Oiney of foreign rela
tions, censured Commissioner Sexton,
saying that be should have confined
himself to asking for a translation
without having returned the docu
ments." Tbe facts in the case are: Commis
sioner sexton did not return tne
documents as claimed; he merely re
quested an English translation as he
does not "parlez vous Espagnol," and
this translation was very willingly
furnished by Consul Mallen. Moreover,
no "censure" or communication of any
kind was received by Commissioner
Sexton from Secretary Olney or the
department of state.

"Dr. Belgraff" is said to be an inten

Mr. Wilton Lacaaye's special talent,
and he will produce it with perfect
completeness as to scenery and other

Marie Wainwright for the principal
role, and a company of great excel
lence, including C. V. Cloudock, the
grand old man of the stage. The en
gagement in this city will unquestion
ably be one of the most enjoyable
events of the season.
