THE RAILWAY MIDDLE.
Leaders of the Ration Strikers Arrest
ed and En- Route to Santa Fe-
Trying to Move Trains.

Locally the railroad situation remains
unchanged. 1t is quite as exasperating
as it could be. Not wheel was moving
anywhere on the A., 7. Il 8. F. between
Ration and Albuquerque up to 10 o'clock
this forenoon, and while there were
rumors and rumors of change "sho1t-
ly," the outlook from layman's stand
point was scarcely any more reassuring
than it was yesterday or last week. There
was passenger train started out of La
Junta last evening which got as far as
Trinidad, but at that point the engineer
remarked that
HE WAS TIRED
and hungry and didn't feel very we'll any
how and he jumped out of his cab and
left.
At present there are seven companies
of U. s. troops between Ration and Trim
idad. They are scattered all along the
line with squads guarding either end of
the Ration tunnel. The situation at Ration
is reported quiet.
Last evening US. Marshal Hall arrested
W. H. Larkin, D. T. Medill, R. P. Bland,
Fred Hallowell, George Runyan and seven
others on the warrant sworn out before
Judge Seeds by us. Attorney Hemingway,
charging these parties with interfering
with the passage of United States mails
at Ration.
EN- ROUTE TO SANTA FEE.
Information came to hand at noon that
a special train had left Ration en- route
to Santa Fe to bring the above named
persons, and at 1:25 p. m. the train was
reported to have reached Wagon Mound
and was due to reach this city about 8
o'clock this evening. 1t is also under
stood that two other trains were made
up at Ration about moor and sent south.
The train which brings the prisoners
is guarded by forty U. s. deputy marshals,
Upon arriving here the prisoners will be
taken at once to the penitentiary and
kept there until tomorrow when they
will have hearing before Judge Seeds.
ON THE MARROW GAUGE.
The D. & R. G. train out of Pueblo due
to reach here at o'clock last evening got
IN at $50 this morning and brought pas
sengers and express matter from as far
east as Philadelphia, but no mail. Why
the mail was omitted nobody seems to
know. There is really no excuse for the
failure of this train to bring the mails
and citizens are wondering why the
postal authorities out of Pueblo are not
more promptly attending to business.
The train went north on time this morn.
ing and everybody lives in hopes that a
big batch of mail will be brought in by
the train that arrives this evening.
LATER p. M.
A special train left Fort Wingate about
noon to-day with two companies of U. s.
troops en- route to Las Vegas. 1t is said
to be the intention of the government to
place troops at Albuquerque also, so that
the military will be on duty at these two
points as we'll as at Ration, Trinidad and
La Junta. The New MEx1oAN's press
report was curtailed somewhat to-day
because the Western Union wires we're
occupied for some time in transmitting
military orders to various southwestern
points.
AT LAS VEGAS.
At 6 p. III. the following dispatch was
received from Las Vegas:
.."The engineer deserted his engine here
on train No. 8, following the special con-
veying the deputies and prisoners to San
ia F'e. No. 8 train was being piloted over
the road by this special carrying U. s.
deputies. Great excitement prevails here
and trouble is feared"
