is determined to push its effort to freeze
out our baby line. Yesterday an order
came directing that Mr.. Baca, hallway
mail agent, be transferred from the Santa
Fe-Antonito run to the Silver City Rincon

is counted very favorable one, and may
be accepted by the company if the citi-
Zens show any disposition at all to help
the thing along.
Gen. B. II. Grierson, commander of
the department Of Arizona, was rendered
a delightful serenade at Col. Douglass
quarters last evening by the 10th infantry
band. The general won lis stars by gal.
liant service, starting from the position of
volunteer lieutenant, and at the close of
the war he was commissioned colonel OF
cavalry. A few years ago he attained the
senior rank OF colonel and was clearly en-
titled to the brigadier generalship, but
President Cleveland overlooked his long
years Of hard service on the frontier and
appointed men who were Col. Grierson's
unior in rank.
