FairVieW Tunnel Near Ash
Fork Burns Out Again.
Hundreds of Men Labor to Save
Tt in Vain.
TOTALLY DESTROYED
All Freight Sent by Phoenix
Passengers Transferred.
Causes Santa Fe Much Trouble
To Be Blasted Out.

Ash Fork, A. T., Jan. 29.-The Fair
view tunnel which was yesterday tenn
pOrarily placed in repair, is again
closed, blocking freight traffic on the
Santa Fe Pacific. Shortly after mid
night this morning the timbers which
had been placed SO as to fill in the cave
in space s.Oove caught fire and the tun-
mel was totally burned out notwith-
standing all the efforts that could put
forth by the hundreds of men on the
ground. Freight is being routed
through by way of Phoenix and passen-
gers transferred around the tunnel
This tunnel is causing the company
no end of trouble. At both ends OF the
tunnel the formation of the ledge is Of
limestone and in the center it is OF
Shale. The work of rebuilding the tun-
mel has been going on ever since the fire
was stopped but the work has been
carried on under the greatest difficulty
the tunnel having caved in three times
since the work has been in progress.
If the situation that now c6nfronts the
wOrkmen could have been fOretOld the
rebuilding of the tunnel would prob
ably have been abandoned and the tun-
mel roof would probably have been
blasted and a deep cut made. Blasting
may yet be resorted to and the tunnel
idea given up.
- Division Superintendent John Denier,
who was injured in the first cave-in
during the fire, is reported as well on
the road to recovery.

FLOWERS FROM THE CORPSE.
How Gallant Baggageman Pleased
His Lady Friends.

a baggageman running out of La
Junta is quite a faVOrite among some
of the dance going young ladies' If the
young ladies thought ne had won
their affections in the way that he at
tempted to gain the friendship of a GER
tain young lady they would undOubted-
" resent it but they do not know.
The baggageman had a scheme of OBJ
tanning flowers that was both novel
and inexpensive. Quite often, as is the
case on baggage cars, a corpse would
be shipped i'll his car. It was not an
unusual thing for a box or bunch Of
flowers to be placed upon the box. 1t
was an easy matter to borrow some
of the flowers as the corpse would new
er miss them and they would do so
some one who was alive. The flowers
would often be tied with a neat piece
of ribbon and then the ribbon would
look so nice if it We're used in the form
of q bow on somebody's hair. All went
we'll for a time and the gallant baggage
man was a prime faYOrite with the
young ladies who had received flowers
from him Where do you get them -
the young ladies would ask. "Oh, from
a fellow who was riding in the baggage
car would be his answer.
One night the baggageTnan was going
to a dance when he got to the end of the
run. There was corpse and a bunch
of flowers on board. He borrowed
bon. The presentation was made with
the air Of a Chesterfield and all was
lovely until young lady noticed a card
neatly pinned on the ribbon which read:
Please place at the head of Johns
grave

CROWD OUT GERMANY.
In Competition the American Loco
motive Proves Superior

Pittsburg. Jan. 29.-German builders
of railroad locomotives wanted to fur
nish some new locomotives for a Rus
sian railroad, and until recently they
had enjoyed almost exclusive trade in
this respect with Russia. However,
the Russians admitted competitive
bids and left the door open for Ameri-
can manufacturers. and the result is
that Pittsburg locomotives will go to
the Cars domain and will supersede
German machines.
It is said that the Pittsburg engine
was found to be so far superior in the
quality of steel utilized, in the general
construction and in adaptability. be-
cause of the rotary motion given to the
fore trucks, that the Russian govern
ment decided to accept the local en-
zines.
