WHITE OAKs-EL PASO ROAD.

Tho White Oaks EAGLE announces
that the purchase of the coal claims Of
r. J. Nugent at Salado, by Hon Chas.
g. Eddy was closed on Saturday last by
the payment OF the entire balance Of
the agreed price. The papers Of the
Pccos Valley, for some unaccountable
reason, have been expressing doubt as
to the final construction Of the White
Oaks FL Paso road This lnet move Of
Mr. EGdy's shows very ccnclusively,
however which way the wind is blowing
1t ia scarcely probable after taking
options on the coal lands in the Salado
district that Alr Eddy would throw
away his money in making final pay
ments unless he had eofne definite
knowledge " the outcome Of his railroad
project. al hough he may not feel called
upon to take the newspapers into his
1 confidence. At all events, one move
such as this last on Mr.. Eddy's part.
carries more weight in proving the sub.
stnntial basis on which his plans rest.
than all the newspaper articles pro or
/ con on the face of the earth.
Western newspapers have a peculiar.
perhaps constitutional, tendency TO con.

AIDING DETECTIVES.

1t is easy enough to see that the
present system of portraiture, now so
common with metropolitan newspapers,
is valuable help in and sometimes
almost indispensable to the detection of
crimiua's who are fleeing from the pur-
suing off ers OF the law. But the
heautes Of this valuable auxilIar! of de
tective work was recently put to the
test here in the matter Of the killing OF
Mrs. A. c. Miller and her nephew,
Willie Truesdell, by the japanese Aokl,
recently, near Denver.
Armed with the Rocky Mountain
NelrS, Of April 18th, giving an account
IF the horrible murder and a full des-
rription aud correct likeness of the mnr-
derer one Of our detectives started out
20 run down the gully man, for the pur
pose Of securing whatever reward might
ne offered for his apprehension. He was
not long in finding prominent business
man of this place whose face and figure
tailed with that of the individual
wanted and IT, description Of whose per
sonal appearance was near enough to
hat published of the Jap. to warrant
the arrest.
The lext morning the NelcS, Repub-
lican and Tinlt OF the l3th came, each
containing likenesses Of the accused.
Three other officers, lkcW ise armed with
these publications proceeded to arrest
three other business men of like prom
inence They we're taken before the
JUS ice at Nal Pals, and all committed
without hail. the court holding that the
pictures published resembled the men
arrested as completely as they did each
other and rs they were likenesses Of the
same man therefore the parties brought
before him must be guilty. After hav-
ing been shown the newspapers con
aiming the supposed likenesses Of the
murderer the defendants all concluded
pie al guilty to the charge, and they
would probably have been executed be-
fore this If the later News had MT in
formed the officers and the public that
be- real cul prit bad be n captured and
placed in the Denver Jail.
Throrgh the medium Of the pictorial
pre- S it is the simplest thing in the
world to detect criminals who are want
ed by the sleuths Of the executive de
partment.

Tuesday Mr.. John F. Gumm received
a letter from his brother Joseph Z .
Gumm, assessor for Lin"oln county,
stating that he had learned from Marion
Smith and County Commissioner Y. II.

old prospect shaft in the Jarrillas; that
Col +. had been shot four times through
the body while the boy bad been killed

in their own bedding and thrown in the
shaft Yesterday MIR. W. E. Carmack

port of the finding Of Col. Fountain and
son in the Jarrilas has been in circnla-

rumor whatever Officers are now after

on his way to Roswell, He belonged to
the surveying party camped, near the
place where the murder was committed
that night The man had been drinking
while at Mescalero and probably told
more than he knew 1t is thought
however, that some information may be

1T was rumored on the streets yes

purchased an old franchise for right of

Kansas, to White Oaks, New Mexico
and had made deal with q. B. Eddy
which would insure the construction OF
the Bell road from this city to White
Oaks. A Tilnfs reporter met Col
Lowrie, chief engineer Of the White
Oaks road, on the street, and in reply tu
the reporters inquiries, Col. Lowrie
said the experts had made a most salts
factory report on the coal fields and that
he expected ahy hour to receive in

scenery is supurb, the White Mountains,
the highest range in New Mexico, rising
to an altitude OF IA, 100 feet above sea

the dry bracing atmosphere, peculiar to
this region: the pure crystal stream
flowing through the grounds, as well as
the incompatible hunting and fishing
territory in the immediate vicinity where
large and small game and mountain
