The Rocky Mountain News says:
1t is likely that the transfer of the
trains of the Colorado and Southern to
the Santa Fe tracks will not be ac-
complshed without some trouble with
residents along the line of the old Gulf,

was full of rumors and reports. 1t
was stated on seeminly good authority
that the Santa Fe trains had already
commenced running between Trinidad
and Fort Worth over the Colorado and
Southern tracks, and that next Satur-
day the latter roads trains would run
over the formers tracks between Den
yer and Pueblo. The plans for the old
| Gulf line south of Denver were said to
be one train a week over the track be-
tween Pueblo and Manitou Junction,
and one train a day be-
tween Denver and Colorado Springs.
"If that is the program" said a
resident Of Eastonville at the Brown
last night, at is likely we will go into
court and ask for a injunction or man
damus, compelling the road to give us
adequate train service. The idea! One
train a week south of Manitou juno
ton, and only one train day with
Denver! Why, it must be all a mis-
take. But we will wait until the
thing is placed into effect and then
make our wantS known" At the of
flee of the Colorado and Southern the
rumors were denied. That the trains
will run over the Santa Fe tracks with
in week or ten days is generally ad-
mitted and that the Santa Fe will use
the line between Trinidad and Fort
Worth seems true beyond question, for
it would save a haul of about 400
miles in business between Denver and
Galveston and Gulf points.
