The Fort Bliss team took the lead In
the City league by defeating the White
Sox 7 to 4 at Washington park yester-
day afternoon. The attendance was
larger than the previous Sunday, despite
the fact tliat Madero's army continues to
be an attraction for pleasure seekers.
The Fort Bliss boys have an unusually
large garrison to draw from at present
and have gotten together a nearly all-star
aggregation that promises to be almost
invincible while It lasts.
The game between the Soldiers and
the White Sox was characterized by
heavy hitting and the erratic pitching of
Harbin for the losers. The big twirler
struck out no less than ten men in the
seven innings played. In the third In-
ning, however, the soldiers pounded him
hard, scoring five runs and giving them
a lead over the four runs the Sox had
accumulated In the first two sessions.
The White Sox were unable to score fur-
ther and the Fort Bliss boys clinched the
game in their half of the last Inning by
sending two more across the plate. The
feature of the game was tile brilliant fly
catch of young Chet Hammond, right
fielder for the Sox. In the first inning
Hammond caught an apparently safe hit
by making a dive that caused him to
turn completely over, coming up hold-
ing the ball. He made another clever
fly catch later in the game.

It is expected that in the next few days
Work will begin opening the two rail-
roads south of Juarez, which have been
tied up for the past four months.
Both the Mexico-Northwestern and
Mexican Central railways have plenty of
material ready in Juarez to begin repair-
ing the lines just as soon us permission
4s received by the railroads to do so.
Officials of the railroads seem to be-
lieve that they will be given permission
to repair the damaged right of ways in
a day or *o. The Mexico-Northwestern
can be ready to operate in a few hours
after notice is received, as no great dam-
age lias been done to that road since
repairs were made two weeks ago. it
will probably take a m^ptli to get tho
Mexican Central open from Juarez to
Chihuahua, still officers state that tho
track and telegraph line can be repaired
in two weeks so that trains can resume
operations. Permanent repairs can be
completed later.
The resumption of traffic on these
two roads, It Is estimated, will increase
the trade of El Paso and Juarez at least
$15,000 per day and give employment to
150 skilled railroad operatives who have
been laid off for the past three months.
It is understood that when permanent
peace conditions prevail tho Pearson
syndicate, which owns the Mexico-
Northwestern railway and the great lum-
ber mills at Pearson and Madera, will
undertake to close up and complete ar-
rangements for the establishment of
finishing mills, shingle mills and a box
factory in El Paso.
The general offices of the syndicate
are to be opened In Juarez on May 1st.
Tile mines at San Pedro, which employ
about 2000 men, will also resume full
operation, and the work of Installing an
Immense pumping plant to drain the
lower levels of the mines will he finished.

Ray, Arlz., April 23,--An epidemic of
sickness, the exact nature of which , has
riot yet been determined, lias broken out
in Kay within the past three days. The
complaint is dysenteric, and is probably
due to some local condition which tho

ing to find out. Sanitary conditions are
good here, and an Investigation of tlio

those affected arc D. S. Smith, chief
clerk for the Ray Consolidated; W. it.
Thornton, mining engineer; O. P. Smith,
storeroom clerk ; S. Barnes, Jack San-
chez, and Miss Stmdbcrg, daughler of

tion is the most critical of all, and she Is
nut expected to live.

dated is to he completely remodeled dur-
ing the next two weeks, an action thnt
was made necessary by the gradual addi-
tions to the forces employed in the
building. The Western Union telegraph
office and the central telephone station
will be moved from their present places
in the office structure to a new central
location up town.
Another butcher shop, a millinery
establishment and a grocery store wore
added to the list of business enterprises
of Ray during the past week.
