MA SALOON ROW.
An Unknown Tramp Killed at Usage
Citv

Usage City. Kas., June 16.-During a
quarrel back of Whalen Bros saloon
in this city yesterday afternoon an I'M
known man was killed and some others
wounded. It is not known who fired
the shot. but suspicion attaches to Ed
ward Whalen, one OF the proDr1etorS
of the saloon. Soon after the shot was
fired, Constable G. W. Throckmorton
entered the saloon to investigate, and
found that Whalen had a revolver in
his possession with one OF the chambers
empty.
There were six tramDs in the rear
of the saloon, who had all become
drunk and who were behaving bois-
terously.
After some words har passed, a gen
eral quarrel ensued- Soon after this
a shot was fired. and all the crowd.
with the exception. of the man who
was shot. ran from the place. Soon
after this the man was found dead.
He was about six feet in height, with
dark complexion and a mustache.
In the saloon at the time of the quar-
rel were Tom Whalen, Edward Wha-
len and Turf Harding. all members of
the Twenty-first Kansas regiment.
None of the tramps in the quarrel are
known here. and as they have all left
the city evidence as to who fired the
shot viii be hard to find.

We intend to make some changes in
the freight yards in Pueblo said Mr..
Dyer. We now handle the Santa F'e
cars in Denver, and they handle ours in
Pueblo, though We have a yard here
The Santa Fe yard is rather cramped
and having both yards there is a great
deal Of unnecessary switching to be
done We hope to lay enough track in
one or the other yard to make it posi-

one place. The other Will be used for
storage Of cars out of service"

NEW COUPLER TO BE ADOPTED.
Santa Fe Will Equip Passenger
Coaches With National Device.

The Santa Fe has been testing a new
car coupler for use on passenger trains.
The new coupler is called the National
coupler. It is designed to be used on
passenger coaches and may be used in
trains where some of the coaches are
equipped with old style couplers-
one great objection to equipping
coaches with the Trojan coupler is that
while some Of the cars are equipped
with one kind of coupler and some with
the old kind, links and coupling pins
have to be used. With the new coupler
all this trouble is done away with
All the private cars are equipped with
the National It is quite likely that an
order will soon be issued to equip all
other passenger coaches with it also.
