visions, came in from hisru over
the road and was to have gone out
again at 2 o'clock this morning.
Captain Ragland boards at the

room which is the second room in
the southwest corner ofStlle third
story Of the hotel.
About II 80 q noise was heard,
as Of somebody falling, and, pres
emily the report came in that Cap
tain RaglaDd had fallen from the
window Of his room down to the
brick pavement on 18th avenue.
He was taken into the hotel in
an Unconscious condition, and a
physician sent for. DR.. Myers ar
rived shortly, and found, upon cx-
animation, that no bones Woe
broken, but that there We're SER
ious internal injuries.
Tire injured man, when he fell,
had on his railroad Uniform, and it
is supposed that he got up in his
sleep, and while in that condition
fell from the winelew. He is con-
scious now, and resting as easy as
possible under the circumstances.
Captain Ragland has a wife and
two or three children residing in
Govington, Ky.
IATER.-The sad news comes,
just as we go to press, that a little
son OF. Capt. highlands had both
Of lis legs cut Off, at Coyington,
this morning, while playing on the
railroad tracks, and that Mrs. Rag
land was unable to come here.
We are indeed panied to learn
of thissad accident. The unfor-
tunate man is a brother Of the
editor, Mr.. H. G. Ragland, and
one of the most popular passenger
train conductors on the G. d g..
Railroad. Mr.. II. G. Ragland left
this morning for Huntington to
attend the bed side of his brother.
We are informed by Mr.. j. H.

and will shortly erect a summer house, to
be supplied with bath rooms, on the
river one mile from the town.
SOUTH PARK CEMETERY.
Two miles south of the town on Main
street drive tract OF twenty acres has
been reserved for the burying ground, to
be called the South Park cemetery. 1t
is laid out in the shape OF maltese
cross, with walks, and the corners In
grass plats.
RAILROAD PROSPECTS,.
Roswell bears the distinction OF being
farther away from any railroad than any
postoffice in the United States, the near
est railroad outlet being 200 miles. But
a country so great in extent and rich in
possibilities as the Pecos valley can not
long remain without a road. The con-
tract for the building of the first 100 miles
of the Peros Valley from point on the
Texas Pacific has been let and the road is
to be completed to Eddy within five
months. Of course this road will never
stop at Eddy when it has so large and
rich domain before it. A greater por-
ton OF the route from Eddy 10 Roswell
would require no grading, and good
route can be fonn across the range to the
A T. & s. F., which would open up some
of the richest country on the continent.
There is every reason to believe that the
cars " ill be running into Roswell within
twelve months.
