AT Los ANGELES,
Creditors Assume Control
of the Mount Lowe

sort Line is Temporarily
Embarrassed.
TRUSTEES ARE APPOINTED.

TRUSTEES ARE APPOINTED.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July People
here were greatly surprised to-day to learn
that the creditors of the Mount Lowe Rail-
way Company had taken control of that
picturesque and famous mountain resort
road. The company has floating debt OF
SIC, 1000. Of this, $500 is due employees.
An amicable arrangement has been en-
tered into which will secure creditors with
out interruptlng the operation of the road
or involving the company in expensive
litigation. T. S. C. Lowe, originator of the
Mount Lowe railway, and the man whose
untiring energy carried the great under
taking to completion, will continue as
president of the company.
The semi-annual interest on the bonds
tell due to-day and the company had no
money with which to pay. The trustees
expect, however, to provide for this within
ninety days.
A meeting of creditors to the amount of
$1,000 was held yesterday. After hearing
the committees report Mr.. Baker of the
iron works, Mr.. johnson and 1. B. New
ton, treasurer of Harper Reynolds Com
pany, were chosen as trustees for all the
creditors, with power to act.
1us tIustoes tuen uIeW up contract
between the Mount Lowe Railway and the
trustees, whereby it was agreed that as
soon as the trustees should obtain consent
and authority of 80 per cent of the credi-
tors. the company would cause three of it's
directors to resign and trustees should be
elected in their stead. AS there are five
directors in the board this arrangement
will give to the trustees the controlling
vote. The contract was signed yesterday
by the Mount Lowe Railway Company
and creditors to the amount of sos, 900 have
ratified it. No opposition to the plan has
developed and every creditor thus far seen
by Mr.. Baker has signed the agreement.
The trustees will operate the property, re-
duclng expenses and putting some good
railway man in charge.

EXTREMELY IMPROBABLE.
Must Have Been Bandits Who
Fired On Americans Below

Special to The HERALD.

Laredo lex, Jan. "a

Times yesterday evening stated
that Messrs. Mehan. Strickland,
Blives and a son of Mchan's
had been fired upon by Next
can troops at a point about
forty miles below Garlic and
that the gentlemen who were
on a hunting and trapping ex-
petition were forced to leave
their skiffs and swim to the
American shore and that their
whole equipment fell into the
hands of the MeXicans. 1t is
extremely improbable that Mex

guilty of such an act, for many
reasons. Colonel Villasenor in
an interview stated that such a

Of extreme prudence and that
had such a thing taken place
it would have been known at
Mier long before the men got
to Carrizo. There are many
bandits, horse and cattle thieves
on both sides of the river below
Garlic, and it is probable that
they were fired upon by some
of these who wanted to steal
their equipment. As the federal
telegraph was closed for the
night it was impossible to learn
the truth of the matter.
