RECORD BULLETIN
Galveston Harrisburg & San An-
tonio Ry- Co. El Paso Division.
An engineer was backing his en
(fine out on a dark night to tow in the
train of a disabled engine. While

than a mile from any s'ding he collided
with the rear end of a freight train
running ahead of him badly smashing
up a lot of cara and narrowly escaped
Injuring the occuo&nts of the caboose.
Tee only excuse he has to offer is that
the coal boards on hi9 tank were so
high tbat be coald not see over them
and consequently did not see the other
train until he was almost into it. If
this statement is true it Is quite
apparent that he should have taken
other means of keeping a look out so
as to avoid colliding with trains ahead.

vice. A brakemen has had fifteen days
bulletin suspension recorded against
him for allowing wheels to slide flat
on part of train under his suspervision.

ran to first tank a distance of six
miles for water; upon his return for
train at mid-day he collided with it
with sufficient force to damage engine
tank and first car to the tune of over
100 and gave as a a excuse that he
could not control the engine as brakes
did not seem to take hold. He should
have found this out in time to have
prevented the damage indicated

CHIHUAHUA BULLETIN
During the last fifteen days em-
ployees on the Chihuahua division had
been disciplined for the following rea-
sons. A conductor has been discharged for
refusing to go out. It is useless to
stats that the first obligation of an
employe in to obey orders given to him
by his superior.
It has been necessary to discharge
another conductor on account of pre-
vious record. Men with bad records
on other roads will not be employed.
A conductor has been discharged for
burning of a journal; the conductor in
this case was very careless and was
not watching his train. He was also
running at an excessive rate of
speed.
Two brakemen have been discharged
for intoxication. It seems impossible
that after observing in all the late
bulletins that various measures will be
taken with all who get intoxicated
there are still some employees who
lapse into such error.
It has been necessary to discharge
a brakeman for derailing an engine
and it is superfluous to say that the
greatest caution must be taken in
switching.
A brakeman has been discharged for
laziness. If employes like to remain
with the company it is necessary that
they 9hould perform their duties
willingly.
Engine Off the Track.
An engine off the track on the
Southern Pacific west of Deming de-
layed the east bound limited yesterday
several hours. The engine was haul-
ing an east bound freight and went off
fourteen miles west of Deming. The
wrecker went out from El Paso and
righted her.
A VERY LONG DISTANCE
Messages Are Sent Without Relay
From New Orleans To San Fran-
cisco El Paso the Only Relay
Station.
From New Orleans to San Francisco
by way of the Southern Pacific is 2489
miles yet El Paso is the otly relay
station between the two cities and
sometimes a message is even Pent
through direct and the Ei Paso of-
fice is cut out.
J. B. Dooner general superintend-
ent of telegraph for the Pacific divi-
sion on assuming charge of that end
of the Bystem at once began to improve
the telegraph service. In speaking of
the matter he remarked to a San An-
tonio Express reporter:
"A few years ago the sending of a
message over 2500 miles of wire was
considered as bein practically an im-
possibility. It was necessary those
days to have a message passing be-
tween San Francisco and New Orleans
relayed and repeated at several points
along the route but now we only have
one relay station and that la at El Paso.
However we frequently cut this re-
lay out and wo k direct. When in
New Orleans Houston or San Antonio
it is necessary for me at all times to
consult with my home office and this I
do directly. It is a great convenience
and a saving of much important time.
The only bad places we encounter are
from Houston eastward and on the Pa-
e ZZ7Xy arUStS
cific coast where heavy fogs ara fre-
quent. 'When I first went out to California
I was told that it was necessary to
at times send the linemen over the
lines to wash off the insulators. Like
every other stranger I thought the
boy9 were jollying me but I soon as-
certained that there was no joke about
the matter'. The heavy fogs re laden
with salt and in a short time the insu-
lators are so thickly coated tb.it they
fail to perform their service. I found
It necessary to dispense with the-cable
service from this cause because the
salt and dampness would soon de-
stroy ail insulation and corrode and eat
through the wires causing frequent
and annoying delays and entailinggreat
expense. Instead of the ordinary wires
strung In cables we now use pure cop-
per wire. This we have found to be
impervious to climatic and weather in-
fluences and although it is costly con-
struction it has proven in the outcome
to be cheaper thin the old wires and
certainly more rotable."

Chasers intend erecting buildings at
once. The improvements include two
warehouses one 45x150 feet the other
50x150 feet of brick to ba built at
once.
Of these warehouses one is to be us
ed as a sort of bonded warehouse for
ttie storage of wool and hides. The
idea is that the farmers and sheep
growers of the neighborhood shall
bring their wool and hides mere and
store them.
The town site is beautifully located
and is in a natural basin protected from
the winds and surrounded by hills.
A canyon breaks taiough and affords a
natural drainage outlet which can be
utilized in 'time for sewage.
The town company is already arrang
ing for the building of levees and
proper retaining walls to offset any
possibility of damage by floods.
The telephone line has already
reached the new town the telegraph
wires are strong and the railroad sur-
vey is now completed.
Sparks From the Engine.
G. H. engineers and firemen are very
well satisfied with the White Oaks
coal and say that with a good blower
it burns well.
Gen. Manager John P. Ramsey of
the Sierra Madre line and Gen.
Traffic Manager John P. Logan went
down to Casas Grandes this morn-
ing. In a bulletin. Superintendent Ran
dolph warns S. P. trainmen against so
liciting for certain hotels in Tucson.
It has been reported to him that such
practice exists.
The Southern Pacific was three
hours late this morning delayed by
late connections. The dog show was
attached and that was sufficient rea-
son to lots of people.
Howard Ridgway road master of the
Denver&Kio Grande and son of the
superintendent of that road passed
throush El Paso yesterday from the
City of Mexico for Memphis Ten-
nessee. The White Oaks delivery so the W.
G. A. included forty cars yesterday
with thirty cars to come today. The
output still varies between 23 and 20
cars a day and frequent extras ace
necessary.
The private car of M. D. Woodruff
president of the C. H. & D. was head-
ed through last night on the S. P. tra'n
to the east the president who recent-
ly passed through El Paso remaining
in California for his health.
Special Officer Hamilton Raynor of
the G. H. is anxious to have returned
to him the traveling cards of Joe Ber-
nard of the Koighta of Pythias aDd
the National Steam Fitters' Associa-
tion which were lost last night pre-
sumably near the G. H. depot.
All the passenger coaches on the
Santa Fe which are sent to the shops
for repairs are being fitted with the
cew wide vestibules. The decision to
do this was made last fall and all the
passenger coaches are now being re-
built in accordance with this order.
General Manager Peck of the Texas
Car Service association went east iu
his private car Sunday after a three
days' lay over in El Paso. While
here be adjusted the differences exist-
ing in regard to local demurrage rates
etc The White Oaks road was also
admitted to the Car Service associa-
tion. N. A. Campbell representative of
the people who manufacture the New
York air brake went up the line of
the White Oaics this morning to in-
spect the brakes on the engines re-
cently put on this line. The Westing-
house brake is in general use out here
and the White Oaks is the first road
practically to use the New York brake
in this western field.
Officers of the Chicago Rock Island
U3 n t-t an- no
& Pacific have rejected the petition
made by their brakemen that seniority
of service govern promotions and the
men have accepted the decision. This
subject and the question of increased
wanes has coasumed two weeks of
conference between representatives of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
a"d General Superintendent Hitt in
Chicago.
WAS THIS THE DESERTER?
Man Seen At Valentine Who Re-
sembles the Hissing Negro.
One of the most likely clues to the
Ft. Bliss deserter was that furnished
the police last night by Engineer Al
Mast of the G. H. who thinks he saw
the much wanted man at Valentine.
He was standing on the street in that
place Saturday evening about dark
talking with a group of men when a
negro passed them coming into town
trom the west.
At this time the party noticed bim
closely but did not think to stop him.
After he had gone in talking of the
matter the realization dimly came to
them that he might be the deserter.
Then it was remembered that he bad
worn a soldier campaign hat a sol-
dier's blue shirt and a pair of leggings
although the rest of his clothes were
citizen's clothes.
As soon as Engineer Mast came into
El Paso he notified the police. At
Valentine there are no officers aDd the
only ones on duty are the night
watchman and a night car repairer
who were not yet on duty at the time
of the evening when the negro came
through. The negroseemlngly filled the
description of the man whom the police
are hunting.
All the rangers down the valley are
on the alert and are watohing out for
the man. and two of them are on the
trail of a man they think is the right
one.
State Ranger J. W. Matthews is ex-
pecting a wire at any time announcing
the capture of the negro deserter.
Friday morning he reoeived informa-
tion that a negro answering the descrip-
tion in every way bad be9n seen down
on the island in the river twenty
miles below El Paso. Rangers Tom
Piatt and John Brooks were at one 2
sent to the scene and now that three
days have elapsed and nothing at all
has bean heard there is no doubt but
that they are on the trail of the man
and too far away to communicate with
the officers.

Myras BraceFef
Myra Kent was siltius in a low chair
on the balcony her head . leaned back
her eyes lowered to tlio face of the young
man who lounged on the steps near her
a handsome younsi man the "second
Adonis" the ladies were wont to call
him.
"What an awful pity that Tom Rowen
has no money!" they said to themselves
with the most pathetic emphasis. "His
face and bis manners are perfect."
But careful mothers looked keenly on
when Iiowen was near and this espion-
age gave zest to the dance for both Iiow-
en and the young lady who happened to
be his partner.
"Do you value the trinket so highly?"
Rowen bad just asked.
"The trinket!" she exclaimed indig-
nantly. "I do not call it a trinket. It is
a most precious relic. It has been in the
family almost 200 years. I would give
anything to have the bracelet back again
anything!"
Tom bent nearer. Somehow be could
not speak lightly now though he tried
hard to make his voice careless as he
said :
"Let ns be practical. What will you
bestow upon the man who will restore
your bracelet to you?"
Myra Kent laughed the sweet bin-
cere laugh which Rowen had come to
know so well and which was so different
from that of most girls of fashion.
"There is little I would not give" she
said half in earnest. "I believe I would
give my hand if the man did me the
honor to want it."
On the fourth day from that on which
the conversation on the balcony had been
held Rowen said that he would give this
one day to the search and if the bauble
was not found he would summarily cut
short the fascination which bound him
he would take the evening train to Lon-
don. "I think I am losing my senses." he
said as he strolled down the road his
eyes fixed on the ground his cigar for-
gotten between his lips.
There was a rustle in the bushes; a
shrill bark sounded and then out dash-
ed a little skye terrier who flew at
Rowen in an exuberance of gladness at
sight of him.
Rowen- stooped to caress the creature
which belonged to Myra Kent and was
her constant companion.
The young man's eyes glanced about
hoping to see the dog's mistress but no
one appeared and at last Rowen was
sure she was not near.
The man and dog went on slowly and
It was not until some minutes had passed
that Rowen noticed that the terrier con-
tinually turned back and looked at him
as if asking him to come.
Idly at last Rowen turned and follow-
ed Alfred who leaped a stone wall and
flew across a field covered with faded
goldenrod. He uttered short barks of
satisfaction as he went and was con-
stantly turning about to see that Rowen
followed.
Suddenly the dog leaped and scram-
bled down the steep bank of a dry wa-
ter course and when Rowen came to the
edge and looked down he uttered an ex-
clamation of alarm and surprise and
then swung himself down from n birch
tree and fell rather than walked to a
place where lay a figure whose blue dress
and bright scarf were familiar to his
eyes.
"Myra!" he cried as he flung himself
down by her.
All his love and agony were in that
word. lie had feared to find her sense-
less dead; but she looked at him and a
faint smile came to her white lips.
"I think most of my ribs are broken
and perhaps the rest of my bones" she
said with an effort at speaking lightly.
"But I've found my bracelet!"
As she spoke the last words her face
turned deathly white and she sank still
further back in unconsciousness.
A quarter of an hour later when life
returned to her she found herself sup-
ported in Rowen's arms and before she
opened her eyes she felt a pair of trem-
bling lips pressed passionately upon her
own.
"Forgive me forgive me!" murmured
Rowen. "I was wild I thought you
dead! May you never suffer as I have!"
She tried to withdraw herself but he
held her fast; he could not let her go.
There was something in her face that
emboldened him that made his hopes
rise intoxicatingly.
"And now that I am not dead?" she
whispered at last.
"Ah now now I will never let you
go!" he exclaimed holding her yet closer.
"Have you ever guessed how I love
you?"
"Yes I half fancied" was the
low response.
"But what?"
"I dared not think of it because be-
cause I was afraid that I should discover
that I loved you!" was the delicious re-
ply. A few moments after he said:
"I intended to have found that brace-
let myself."
"It's all the same" she said shyly
smiling "since I have found it." Con-
densed From Spare Moments.
At Crosa Pnrpopcl
She was not so very old. but Bhe was
Intensely respectable as any one could
see. She was sitting on a park seat read-
ing and she had a little dog upon her
lap. Presently the dog wearied of inac-
tion and jumped down to play with a
child who had drawn near as an elderly
gentleman sat down beside her.
lie was fat and fussy but talkative
and when he remarked on the weather
she paid very little attention but went
on reading.
"Yours ma'am?" fce asked indicating
the child.
"Yes" she said thinking he meant the
dog.
"Pretty little dear." he said.
"Oh yes" she said looking up from
her paper.
"And the image of you I can see" he
said archly.
She said nothing until she had snapped
op the dog and then with it in her arms
she sailed off saying:
"You're a vulgar low minded horrid
ngly ill tempered unmannered ungentle-
manly beast."
And he was so thankful that he was
unmarried. Cincinnati Enquirer.
