Nevada -and over the Sierras, still con
tinues, but reports to Southern Pacific

Eastbound trains blockaded by the
snow at various points between Colfax,
CaL, and Reno, also started on their
-way this morning.
It is still snowing between Blue Can
yon and Emigrant Gap. Below Emi
grant Gap dt is raining. The rain is
widespread and disastrous washouts
are expected. More than '200 cars are
being loaded with sacks of sand in
readiness to rush to threatened points.
The eastbound trains were held at
' Colfax until the track could be cleared
of several miles of snowsheds which
had .broken down near Cisco, luacei

The labor unions are preparing to
break Into local politics in defiance
of "the ring" organization. A mass
meeting of all the union members of
El Paso will be held at labor union
hall on Overland street Saturday even
ing at which plans for the political
campaign will be discussed by the la
bor leaders.
The unions have been preparing for
their fight for several weeks, and one
of the first moves was to arrange to
have the members of the unions pay
their poll taxes and receive credit for
this amount on their union dues. The
Typographical union has had this 'plan
in effect for the past two weeks and
when the poll tax receipts are shown
the holder is given credit for $1.75 on
his union dues. Other unions are using
the same plan for getting as many
poll taxes paid among their members
as possible. One man said Saturday
that if the plan was carried out inall
of the unions, there would be more
than 1400 labor votes at the primary
election. .
Think They Are Grieved.
Some union labor folks believe
. they have a grievanqe, and they are
planning to center their attack on the
ring caucus candidates for nomination,
they say. Adrian Pool, candidate for
recorder on the administration ticket,
is a man who as leanings toward cor
porations, theysay. He is also a man
without family. Both of these are
good reasons, the union men say, for
union labor opposing his nomination.
"Give-a-Dam" Jones is a laborer, a
carpenter, and may get support for the
office. Around mayor Kelly the unions
say they will center their light. Kelly
to them is the ring and the ring has
not dealt fairly with the union work
ers of the city, the union leaders de
clare. The mayor Is responsible,-as the
head of the party, for these conditions
and they wish him dethroned. Alder
men Blumenthal and Clayton come in
for a share of the union oppositjon.

STATE VOTE IS
FINALLY COUNTED
Austin, Texas, Jan. 14. A clash be
tween representatives Johnston of
Weatherford county and Buchanan of
Brenham took place late yasterday
over the "early closing bill." After
the bill had been reported favorably
by the committee, it was given John
ston to have printed. Buchanan asked
time to prepare a minority report and
was granted an hour. When the hour
expired his report had not materialized
and he was accused of purposely delay
ing it for printing. Another hour
passed and still no minority report was
furnished.
Johnston and Buchanan met at the
clerk's desk and the former declared
no further time wouldibe granted and
reached for the bilL ' The Brenham
representative snatched the measure
from the clerk's hands and hot words
passed, but the bill went to the print

TWO MEET DEATH AS
RESULT OF SNOWSTORM
Redding, CaL, Jan. 14. In a blinding
snow orm near 'Horn rook, CaL, last
night a buggy occupied by Alexander
Burns and his son Clarence, was struck
by a snow plow pushed by a locomo
tive. The father, who was deaf, was
killed outright, the son, -who was blind,
dying during the nights
by the union men, who daim that mu- j
sicians from Juarez are employed by

'Alderman Clayton is held responsi

union -municipal blacksmith shop.
Some More Grievances.
The printing of the city's stationery
and supplies in a nonunion shop Is
still another grouch the union men
have against the administration Indi
vidually and collectively and the re
fusal of the city council to consider the
petition of the unions for cheaper gas
at the Thursday council mooting is yet
another reason they are complaining.
A labor union ticket has been sug
gested but the union vote will be cast
for the men who announce themselves
m opposition to "the ring" candidates,
it Is said. This vote, augmented by the
anti-ring vote In general" should be
enough to defeat any of the candidates,
the agitators of the movement declare.
All this and more will be discussed
and rediscussed at the mass meeting
Saturday evening at which only union
men will be admitted. launch, cigars,

Had it not been for election officials
in Bl Paso, the name of T. B. Cavender,
rather than J. B. Cavender, would have

Pecos, Texas, Jan. 14. The work;
of extending the Pecos "Valley South
ern railway from Balmorhea, Texas,
to Phantom Lake, six miles below
the present -terminus, is about com
pleted, the grade having been fin
ished. Steel is on the ground now
and some right of way trouble has
held the work up temporarily. When
this is completed president W. I. Car
wile of Dallas will have completed his
contract for 45 miles of new road.
Negotiations are now under way with
Alpine looking towards the road enter
ing that Southern Pacific point. It Is
stated that Alpine has signified Its in
tention to meet conditions asked of her.
Work on the erection of the stations
for this new line has-been completed
at all points except Balmorhea and
Pecos. Work is proceeding nicely at
Balmorhea, but nothing has yet been
done in Pecos. It is stated that a deal
Is now pending looking to the Texas
& Pacific railway and the J?ecos "Val-y
ley Southern using a new joint station
here;
Wants New Railroad.
At a meeting of the Pecos Commer
cial club j-esterday, Pecos accepted the
proposition as made the city by the
promoters of -the Rock Island, Texico,
Farwell & Southern railway to-enter
this city. Seventy-five thousand dollars
cash bonus will be put up by Pecos and
the city will secure its fourth rail
road. It is stated that 28 miles of
grade has already been completed on
the new line and steel is now being
laid. This Is the same line of rail

QUIET REIGNS ON

Officials of the Road Have
Not Heard of Any -Rebel
Operations.
All is reported quiet along the local
division of the Mexico North Western
railway. The passenger train which

Pearson, and Is -reported to arrive in
Ciudad Juarez on time, at 5:20 p. m.

No further reports of Insurrectos be

Pearson, .the termfnus of the Juarez

Chihuahua, Mexico, Jan. 14. Gen.
Manuel Sanchez Rivera, the retired

a jlarge number of saddle horses with
which to mount the Infantry, has re

district, unable to purchase any stock.

Federal Soldiers Are Being
' Sent North "Along Na
tional Line."
The report that a large body -of in
surrectos was camped Thursday aft
ernoon at Encinillasr about 0' miles
north of the city of Chihuahua on the
National Railways, evidently has been
taken seriously by the Mexican govern
ment. Troops have been sent into-that
locality, and if the revolutionists, said
to number about 300 men, have not de
parted from the ine, an engagement
may occur.
Scouts Are Sent Out.
The report was brought to tha city
i of Chihuahua by the crew of a freight
train from which the camp of the in
surrectos could be seen. A company
of about 100 men responded from Santa
Rosalia, taking Friday's passenger
train to the city of Chihuahua. The
Soldiers from Santa. Rosalia are said
to be picked men doin gscouting duty
In that locality. They are believed to
have marched north from, the city of
Chihuahua, preferring not to enter th
district about Encinillas by train.
Cavalry Troops Moved.
A detachment of 25 cavalrymen was
brought from the city of Chihuahua to

Friday, the 13th, as,, a jonah day,
failed to have any effect on the zone
of good fortune which El Paso occu
pies. The railroads have not reported
a single accident Friday and the, Elec
tric Railway company did not have a
serious accident. The nearest to a
piece of ill luck was a collision be

Witchcraft Chargo Made.
The nearest approach to the occult

of Leonarda Herrera of Cuadrilla on
the technical charge of witchcraft, the
complaint charging that she had cast
a spell over a neighbor. This and a
check for 15 cents which was present
ed at the First National bank for pay
ment complete the sum total of the
strange occurrences In El Paso on the
supposedly fatal day. The local city
ticket offices were evidently under the
spell of the day, for there were but
three tickets sold at one of the biggest
offices Friday, and they were for Sat
urday trains.
The postoffice receipts were normal,
