Word from Denver says that the Colo
RADIO ~ Southern, which runs into this
territory, has bought or secured control
OF the great Denver shops of the Union
Pacific road. This is a good acquisition
for the Southern.

Riders, has received from New York IA

c. M. Burke, a man of vast expert
ence in the mining industries of the

The last number of Harper's Weekly
is noticeable for a curious Typographical
bull. The frontispiece represents COM
pany M, 10th United States infantry,
quelling a riot in the streets of Havana,
while the descriptive line below the cut,
states that it is the 10th cavalry. Now
the 10th cavalry is a colored regiment
that never was in Havana, and more
over, cavalry is not infantry.
W.. j. Slaughter pleaded not guilty
last evening before Justice Garcia to
the charge of carrying concealed weap-
ons, but was found guilty by the court
on presentation of evidence, and fined
$50 and costs. Slaughter appealed,
and has furnished an appeal bond in
5000. Corporation Counsel Gortner has
instructed the city marshal to search
both Kerr and Slaughter every day for
the next three weeks, a proposition to
which both of the objects of this search
have assented smilingly. This morning
Kerr and Slaughter met in District At
torney SpieSs' office and all differences
between them were settled amicably.
Indian Agent Walpole is preparing
comfortable and convenient quarters in
the reservation barracks for the w. B.
L. library, as the present library quart
ers are needed by the Indian Office.
The room formerly occupied by the band
is to be the library Office, off of which is
a large storeroom. Then to the west,
across the hallway, is a large room
about Is Y As feet, which will be used as
the library proper, and is sure to prove
convenient to the patrons of the inSti-
tuition. When the move is made, Agent
Walpole is certain the library folks will
be pleased and satisfied.
The Philadelphia Times has the fol-
lowing complimentary mention of the
Andrews Opera Company, which will
appear Saturday night at the Court
House. ''The first appearance of the
Andrews Opera Company in Fra Diavolo
at the Girard Avenue theatre last even
ing, bids fair to furnish a season of most
excellent English opera which will no
doubt be more appreciated as the splen-
din abilities Of the organization grow
upon the public, although the immense
audience present could hardly been
more enthusiastic, if all the performers
had been old friends. The chorus and
orchestra are particularly strong, the
former being as well trained as any that
has even appeared in this city, and the
performance moves with a gratifying
brightness and snap. The success of
the evening was perhaps the seXtette
from Lucia" introduced as a finale to
the second act which received three
encores and two curtain calls. At the
close of the performance The Star Span
gled Banner was sung by the entire
company and the Andrews Opera Com
pany was firmly established in the good
graces of the patrons Of the Girard.'
Two trains, a passenger and a freight,
came through last night from Antonito,
arriving here shortly after loo a. m.
But the wind blew so up IN the border
that with a special engine with snow
pillow, the freight and passenger, only
100 feet apart, each train engine was
blowing through a foot Of snow. The
north bound train left this morning on
time, but the wind blew so all night,
that it was feared the train might have
to turn back rom Tres Piedras. The
line west of Antonito to Durango was
opened yesterday morning, but the wind
blocked it again before night. 1t does
seem to the people of southern Colorado,
as though the blasts would never let up.
Colorado roads are having a hard time
of it this winter, and trains run just as
they can get a chance fair share of the
time.
Regular meeting board of directors of
the Mutual Building and Loan Associa-
ton this evening at s o'clock.
