The chnmp who sent the Denver Re
publican specials from Socorro ought to
be given lay off by that paper if he is
its regular correspondent The strain
incident to the labor he expended in gar
bling the information he had, and imag-
lining what he didn't have, must have
left him in state of nervous collapse.
The reports were simply an outrage
against news service. The Republican
itself should have known that the Old
Abe is not "coal mine in an unImport-
ant district in Lincoln county even if
it's "Soroco' correspondent did not, for
the mine is not unknown there. The
Socorro butcher was in a position to
know, or to find out easily that White
Oaks has no direct telegraph line, and
that in consequence "the early closing
OF the office" here did not hamper the
ssndeis Of Lows. The EAGLES report,
which went out as promptly as practica-
blo aitor the accident to Denver and WAS
given to the Assocted Press there, car
rying to the associated papers and news
centers the only reliable accounts sent
to She outside world. The NetUS was
the only Denver papor that gave the
matter proper attention, aud it was
through that paper that it went on to
the A. z. circuits. The Times made an
effort to get the particulars, but through
no fault Of its own the order for news
reached hore too late to be complied
with in time, the eighteen miles of road
!, from here to the telegraph station at No
$ gal making it impossible TO get prompt
. returns, counting time required i'll max
ing the trip both ways.
