Alfred r Frost, of Albuquerque,
don't happen to wear the cnamUion belt
as bowler Of the Rio Grande Valley: in
fact he is but ordinary, as ii. t. Noake
of the American Bowling club of this
city, has made his 300, while 0. w. Nc
Phetridge has made his 300 points upon
two different occasions. "Our BllI'
Gillespie and w. H. HixsOn, to say
nothing of Will Race and numbers of
others, have the knack Of trolling

nounce their claim of championship

composed of twenty members, none

The Texas q Pacific will not be in I'M
til o'clock this evening. One account
says the delay is due to a wreck on the
Iron Mountain road, making it neceE-
sarv to hold the train at Fort Worth
until through connections can be made
And yet another report, evidently Cir
culated by some secret enemy of that
great and good man Mr.. Darbyshire,
has it that the train is stalled in fifteen
feet snow drifts near Big Springs, and
that rotary snow plOws have had to be
sent for from Chicago. The HERALD
is authorized to state such reports are
unworthy of credence by an intelligent
people, and that the additional rumOr
that passengers are starving in the
huge drifts this side of Big Springs
ana are about to resort to cannibalism,
is entirely false. Mr.. Darbyshire Will
stake his reputation as truthful man
on this denial.
