URIAH NORTH SUICIDES.


"Urah North shot and killed himself
at II o'clock this morning
This is the rather startling announce
ment that came by wire to the New MEX
ICAN at noon to-day.
Mr. North was in Santa Fe a week ago
and seemed to be in very poor health. In
fact, he has been an invalid for several
years and it is thought he suicided while
in tit of dependency brought on by
his long continued sickness. AS to the
details of the shocking affair, nothing is
yet at hand
Uriah North came to Cerrillos some
two years ago, and has since been ldeni-
tied with every move calculated to benefit
the town and county. His father is a

of Cerrllos. He was in every sense a
good citizen. lie leaves young wife

EXCEEDINGLY INTERESTING.
Santa Feans Watching the Denver a Rio
Grande-LoCAl BENEFITS of the
Pending Big Deal.

That is great news for northern and
central New Mexico which comes from
the east relative to the d. & R. q. and its
prospective future. As was long ago
stated in these columns, it looks now
more than ever as if the road was in the
market, and that it will be gobbed up by
either the Union Pacific, the Burlington
or the A., T. < S. F. company seems well
nigh certain.
What is the probable effect of this on
New Mexico in general and Santa Fe in
particular? is the question that many
Santa Feans are asking just now, while at
the same time they are watching for all
news on the subject.
As far as Santa Fe is concerned the
situation is such that any change is to be
welcomed. If the Union Pacific or the
Burlington gets control its first move will
be to broaden the gauge of the Espanola
branch and either buy out the Santa Fe
Southern or build an independent line
into Santa Fe and south via the mineral
and coal fields, at least as far as Albuquer-
que, thus invading the A., I. 4 S. + COM
pany's exclusive territory in the New
Mexico. On the other hand, should
the A., T. & s. f. get control and place
j. J. Hagerman, as is reported at
the head OF the d. & R. g., then the
connection of the Espanola line with
the Pecos valley road becomes not only
probability but certainty, as the Santa
Fe has long desired direct north and
south line leading from the Rocky noun
tains to its Texas gulf tide-water system
to offset the disaster it suffered by the
completion of the Fort Worth & Denver
line now in the HANDS of its strong com
petitor, the Union Pacific. To say the
least, the present turn Of affairs has as
sumed very interesting status for all
New Mexico, and whichever way it goes
Santa FEES chances for better railway
facilities are excellent.
