 Since the disaster of two weeks ago
 the first train went through tunnel
 No. 20 at Johnsonis ca yon on the
 Santa Fe Pacific last night, or rather it was expected that the first one
 would go through. The tunnel i: considerably bigger than it was before
 the cave-in. It has been securely
 cribbed up and the most extraordinary
 precautions have been taken against
 a repetition of the fiery accident. Police court business consisted yes terday of a drunken Mexican whc P was fined S4, and a man who left his
 team united al an expense of $3. There
 was also another case which was car
 ried over until today. It was that o1
 a young man under age, arrested fol 1 freQuenting a SalOOn.- Worse thar that he was gambling and what makes
 the matter still more serious he has a good position with a promi cent bus !, mess house in Phoenix. 5 "A milkman who will dilute h.. milk with water is dishonest withou = needing to be so," sid one Phoeni1 I house holder to another yesterday [ Now our milkman would sccrn to d( anything like that.
