DR.. L. G. Haefeli lett for Durango on

DIR. L. c. Haefsl left for Durango on
yesterdays train. with his left arm
tightly bandaged to his body, as result
OF runaway which occurred about 8
o'clock Wednesday evening. He was
coming to town from his ranch in the
valley with a load of wood. When CON-
ing down the grade below VIM. Mays
place one of the lines broke. and he
started to walk out on the tongue to get
it but this frightened the horses and
they proceeded to run. Doc. saw that
he could not get the line and started
back to the wagon intending to jump,
but reached it just as it turned over. He
was caught under it and dragged con.
siderable distance. sustaining several
bruises and broken arm. He thinks
the arm is broken at the surgical neck
OF the humerus or very close to the
shoulder and should this be the case it
is very bad fracture. DIR. Wiggles.

On Sunday last the narrow gauge
passenger trains from Salida to Denver
were abandoned and standard gauge
trains put on in their stead. Under the
new plan the narrow gauge trains from
all points in the San Juan run to Salida

standard gauge at those points. The
standard gauge train out OF Denver for
the San Juan runs solid to Pueblo and
is there split. passengers over Marshall
pass going to Salida and those for the
San Luis valley going over La veta pass

Mr. Croker is in absolute control of the situa-

and the State ticket also If he so desires AS l

and he has referred TO Senator MURPHY OF

Mr. Shevlin and Judge Van Wyck both de-
clared this morning that, far as they knew.
the situation is unchanged in Kings County
One OF the interesting rumors Of the day is to
the effect that Perry Belmont will vote in COM
mittee to make Senator McCarren temporary
chairman, and that the committeeman from
Erie Rensselaer, and Albany will do the same
1t is evident that the adherents of Mr.. Croker
