Bingham treated, and received $3.50 i'm

A day or two aftcrward Simon Haus-
wirth presented the check at Clark Il
Larabie's hank, hut payment was refused
on the grounds that Brock had
no account there. and tina tho
signature was not Brooks anyway.
Several experts examined I'm signatures
of Brock and gave il as their opinion that
the signature on the check was not that
of Brock. The latter was not present AT
the trial to-day. IL was supposed that Inc

1t was shown for the dcfcns., that the
accused was under the influence of liquor
at the time of passing the chcck-somc

others that he was drunk. and others that
he was very drunk. Bingham himself
testified that he had been on u weeks
drunk at the time and had not the slight
est recollection i'm regard tn the check.
The first he knew about the. matter was
when Officer Carroll arrested him. He
didn't think he wrote the signature ON the
check.

The announcement, made exclusively
in the New Mexican, that company has
been organized to construct railroad
from the Texas and Pacific, in Texas, up
the Pecos valley, via Eddy, to the town
of Roswell, 1I5 miles, will serve to at
tract renewed attention toward the vast
irrigation enterprises which Mr.. G. B.
Eddy and his associates have been en-
gagged in promoting throughout that Sec
ton during the past year. The New
Mexican has some private advices on
this subject and feels safe in assert
ing that this road will be in course
of construction at no distant day The
corporation back of it is a strong one,
and the reasonable 6gure of its cspitali-
cation, $500 900, indicates that there
will be no inside deals to eat up the
finances, as has been the case with many
Western roads. Mr.. Hagerman, the or

The legislature of South Dakota has
passed g bill providing for the assessment
and taxation of railroad companies, and
making the governor, the secretary of

OF way. roadbed, bridges, rolling stock +,
depots, shops, buildings, and all prop
erty shall be taken into consideration and
passed upon, together with the gross and
net earnings. The companies are re-
quired to furnish all necessary informa-
ton on oath, and in case Of failure to do
SO 1t is made the duty of the board to go
ahead and assess in the best manner pos
sible, and then add 20 per cent. TO the
find ings. 1t is further provided that all
laws relating to the enforcement OF the
payment of delinquent taxes shall be ap-
plicable to all taxes levied under the pro-
visions of this act. The senate has al
ready passed q bill somewhat similar.

Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, TEX, March 4.-The San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass, the Napoleon
of all railroads, which has built
more miles OF railroad on
less money than any other in
the world, contemplates another cou pc.
Instead of building branch into Calves
ton, they will put in line of
steamboats, and bArges on the
river between Houston and Calves
ton, and next season will deliver cotton
to ship sides in the outer bay. The
Arkansas Pass, according to the record,
has built more line IN three years
than any other road ever did,
and now it contenplates going
into the steamboat business as well. 1t
parallels the Southern Pacific through
South Texae, and works with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas.

although he represented TO be connected

ling discoveries in coal, copper and iron,
