THE RAILROAD.

The Denver Ell Paso Short Line rail
road project has begun to assume defn-
ite shape. Nearly all the funds that the
company demanded in the way of bon
us, and for securing the right of way,
has been subscribed, and the route has
been determined upon. The line, as
surveyed, seems to be the most natural
and feasible that could have been hit
upon. 1t traverses good section OF tho
country; il will furnish an outlet to the
market for the coal fields OF White Oaks
and the Salado-perhaps the most e1-
teneive field in the Territory-and it's
completion will give, to the citizens
along it's route, the benefit of rates that
competition with the Santa Ee will
necessitate. The building OF the Den
yer El PGso means more for the Terri
tory Of New Mexico than one railroad.
1t means an extension OF tho Santa Fe
into the country trayersed by the Denv-
er. 1t means an extension OF the Rock
Island, and it means the completion of
the Pecos Valley road to Roswell, and
the building OF that road from Roswell
to Albuquerque. When actual con.
struction begins on one line there will
be commotlon OF the whole lot. Let
the Denver-El Paso make the dirt fly
just as soon as possible. Rec.

MAIL ROBBERY! !

On Wednesday last, the stage plying
between this point and Lincoln, was
robbed of the mail, the value of which
can not as yet be estimated; but the
amount Of money is probably small.
Subsequent results show that the rob
berry was committed by ono o. N. Park
err the driver of the stage.
Leaving Lincoln as usual, passing
through Ft. Stanton and Nogal, making
the necessary exchanges of mail at these
places, the stage arrived at Ozanne's
ranch, about twelve miles from White
Oaks, where the exchange of horses is
made. Here the driver (Parker,) COM
planned of being sick and asked the man
at the ranch to take the stage on in to
White Oaks for him. He complied with
Parker's request, and evidently no sooner
was the stage out OF sight than said Park
er appropriated one OF Ozanne's horsee,
saddled him, and skipped the country.
Upon the arrival OF the stage here,
nothing was suspected wrong, and not
until the following day, Thursday,
way any discovery made of the
theft. The robbery was first discovered
at Nogal by Postmaster Brown. The
mail pouch at Nogal had been cut open
as were all the other pouches, as after
wards discovered nearly all the
contents taken. Brown notified Ozanne
d Co., proprietors of the mail and stage
line here, az Parker was suspicioned at
once, for by this time it was known at
Nogal that he had stolen horse and
left Mr.. Ozanne Immediately teleg-
raphed account OF theft, via NoRal, to
points on the railroad where Parker WAS
likely to appear. Friday morning Dep
uty Sheriff Langston started in pur-
suit, and on Monday Ozanne & Co. re,
ceived telegram from Langston stating
that he had caught Parker near Las
Cruces.
Mr.. Ozanne and Deputy Sheriff
Langston deserves great credit for their
prompt action in bringing the scamp to
justice.
Mr.. Langston is expected to arrive
today with his man.
