commissiary department of the army,
left this morning for the north, not to
return. He shipped weeks rations
up to Fort Bliss last evening, cleaning
out the south FL Paso street depot OF
supplies, and sending the same up to
old Fort Bliss.

was any dcstiLutlOn here necessitating
the expenditure of $4,000: and after
the occasion demanded, concluded the
best thing he could do was to turn back
the remainder of the appropriation in 10
the L. 5. treasury. 1t Is figured that

than $3.50 in rations. So after anO her
week, the MeXicans at the old fort will
have to follow President Lincoln's adj
vice to root hog or die.''
The Captain Davis was q welcome
visitor here, but he did not put In any
OF his time with soc. al or praudial

business, and when he got through

grip and quit Tor pastures new,
