DROWNED IN THE CARIZOZO.

DhOW NED I'm i II Il CAhlLOLO.
F. B. Fitz, an Ell Paso attorney, was
drowned in the Carizozo river, Lincoln
county. He was returning home last
Saturday night with August Rumble, of
White Oaks, when cloudburst occurred.
The men lost their way In the darkness
and became separated. The next day
Fitz' lifeless body and that OF his horse
were found far down the river. They
had evidently been drowned while ford

FL Paso not long ago from Buffalo, N. Y.
A NEW RAILROAD.
The prospect of a railroad coming
through our town is Frightening. The
town is sure of a railroad in the near
future, the rich mineral deposits and
other resources of the place are bound
to bring q railroad, If not the Ell Paso &
Northeastern then some other road will
build through here. Why there is more
freight taken at Carizozo station than at
any other point on the line from FL
Paso. This sentiment expressed by
some Pennsylvania capitalists seems to
be impressing itself upon Others.
MINING INTERESTS.
The only feature about White Oaks
that resembles mining town is its alb
sence of neil on the streets. To a

Oaks has every natural advantage tt

and better still, her population, from the
standpoint Of intelligence, moral ant
social worth can not be excelled." Higl
praise, but deserving In every respect
as all will testify who have remained
here long enough to test the truth o
the sentiment. 1t Is also fact that thu
merchants Of White Oaks carry highel
grade Of goods than any town in thu
territory south of Albuquerque.
