The Santa Fe Management.
Los ANGELES, Septemb Der 9th h.-The pres-
ence of II. G. Sibley, confidential agent OF the
Boston stockholders of the Santa Fe, caused
many rumors to flow about radical changes
in the local management. Nothing definite
will be known until Sibley returns the re-
suit of the investigation to the home Office
at Boston. The stories of removal OF the
headquarters to either San Diego or San
Bernardino are groundless and originated
by those cities, the wish being father TO the
thought. The impression is that F. II.
Pattee may succeed Herman as treasurer,
but most of the stories flowing are due to
sensational newspaper writers. The local
officers place no reliance upon them.
