notified of the move and were prepared
for the emergency and if the raid had
been made it would have prob ably re-
suited in more bloody ARRAY than that
OF Sunday morning. More people
would have been in it. and more deaths
would have resulted. There was enough
blood Sunday, but if the attempt had
been made to hold up the eamb bling
games Sunday rivulets of blood would
have flowed down the streets of Juarez.
According to the confederate's story
the tragedy of Sunday morning pre-
vented the contamination Of the hold up
Sunday night.
The Juarez authorities are now onto
this plot to kill and rob; they have had
enough of bunco men and renegade
Americans: they intend TO put a stop
to such things in future; they have
come to the conclusion that if a person
cannot live in Ell Paso they cannot live
in Juarez and it will be sad day for
the next American who is trying to
dodge the clutches of the law in Tex
as to go over to Juarez and think he
has reached haven of safety.

A Veteran Observer.

Col. HlRR1nson, assistant to Presi-
dent Ripley of the Santa Fe, who was
In town today, says that the two
states that have been squealing the
most about times viz, Kansas and
Nebraska, are the most prosperous.
Kansas farmers especially have been
taking in money for the crops, most of
to pay OF their mortgages, and the
state banks are loaded with money.
One farmer with q good bank account
wanted to pull out the greater share
of his deposits to clean up the
mortgages on his farm, and as the
cashier did not want to pay
out so much on that one
account, the depositor pulled a
gun and declared be would have
do people thought their state was
wreck ed and ruined when the depres-
sion came, as Colorado had been so
dependent on its silver mining inter-
ests. But miners turned their atten-
ton to gold mining, and that with the
rise in the price Of lead has left the
state in very fair shape In fact it il
question whether the rise in price of
lead has not more than count erbalanced
Higginson called the attention of this
recently to a Denver News reporter,
the matter being brought more prom
ipently forward by he printing that
morning by the News of long series
of interviews of business men all of
whom spoke of the growing for tunes If
the state. The News man smiled and
had little to say.
Col. Higginson has of late noticed
in bis perigrinatiors the growing
tendency in the far western country
nd tho roc0ru0fp for no
storing of irrigation waters. This he 9
very glad to Gee this gath ering up of tb G
spring floods il to storage reservoirs
whence they may be taken when the
dry season comes on for irrigation.
Col. Higeinson expects to see this
system also used more than ever for
hydraulic mining.
In reference to question about the
Santa Fe lines in Texas, he said that
the right pla e in putting Mr.. r sse-
guie in as general SUPERINTENDENT.
The new official had a way about him
that inspired his subordinates to get a
move on themselves IN manner that
resulted to the profit of the company.
Mr.. RessePuie had made great
record for himself in Chicago. The
Texas lines of the Santa Fe had done
better. in consequence than ever be-
fore. Mr.. Ressegule bad been suffer-
ing from the dengue fever, an ailment
that he understood caused much
though not serious misery, and elected
no sympathy from anybody.
The party will return this way fir m
the City o Mex CO when they expect to
find better weather. Bslmly sunshine
was expected; but instead, the first
really rough weather Was encountered.
Colonel Higginson is considered in rail-
road circles an exceptionally able man,
and upon whom President Ripley often
relies with profit to the interests of the
road.

cans inmedi ately notified the officers
here and the fellow was arrested. He
gave his name as Jose Martinez, but

the story they told on him. He
says he was never near Silver City and
