Troops Due Tomorrow
The Southern Pacific officials yesterday
received word that the three trans of
troops, which 1t was thought would leave
Ell Paso yesterday morning for this city
en- route to San Francisco would not start
from that place until this morning, and
row afternoon. The railway ofYicials had
not received any information as to the iLen-
tity of the troops, or where they came
from. except that they started from New
Orleans some days ago.
Their stay in FL Paso was caused by the
necessity for resting their horses and al
lowing the men little chance to recuper-
ate from the hot weather they had endured
and to prepare them for the trip across
the desert.
There are three trains. running on special
time each train consisting of twelve cars.
In all, there should be from 1900 to 1900
men in the party. They are destined to be
shipped from San Francisco on the next
expedition to the Philippines. 'e'
The ella Valley Railway
One Of the most important feeders to
the Southern Pacific, and a bit Of road
which promises to be very valuable as a
freight line. is the ella Valley, Globe and
Northern railway, which William Garland
of 636 West Sixteenth street, this city, is
now building. Mr. Garland returned to his
home in this city on Friday last. The work
Of construction is rapidly progressing. On
Tuesday the line was completed to the old
sub-agency on the Apache reservation, Is
miles from Geronimo station. When the
track reaches the ella river an extra train
will be operated between that point and
Geronimo, connecting with the regular Bow
ie passenger train, so that passengers can
make the trip from Globe to Bowie station
in one day. After reaching the river 1t will
require 80 days to complete the bridge, so
that the trains can reach San Carlos sta
ton, which will be the principal place be-
tween Geronimo and Globe. There are now
$50 men employed at the front. and 1t Is
expected, without doubt. to operate trains
into Globe not later than October LIST. Pres
ident Garland has been working very hard
at the front and had to return to his home
| in this city to recuperate for the even more
| trying times that are ahead of him this
summer in the midst of one Of the hottest
regions of Arizona.
Train Robbers Successful
"Broncho Bill" and Bill Johnson, who
robbed a Santa Fe train at Belem
station in New Mexico few days ago. were
more successful than the railway or ex-
press officials announced. News comes
from st. Johns, N. NJ. that both men were
seen by people whereabouts, and that
"Broncho' showed one of his cronies $70of
| in bills and coin before he disappeared in
| the Businesses of the mountains. "Broncho
had slight gunshot wound in the left
thigh and Johnson had bullet crease
| alongside his neck. Since their train rob-
berry these two men have killed two deputy
sheriffs, Vigil and Bustamente, of Valencia
county. AS there has been a dissension
| between the Wells-Fargo Express COM
pany and the men who captured the des-
perado, Parker, who was hanged at Pres
colt recently, the peace officers of the ter
ritory do not feel much inclined to risk thei,
| lives in a chase for "Broncho' and his
| partner.
