A BRAKEMAN S STORY
The Tragic End of Romance And
Neglect.

The story of Charles Meyers. at one
time brakeman on the Santa Fe, Is q
tragic one. he was . resid ent of Albu-
querque and had a wife and two little
ones there. His run was to San Mar
cisl, where he laid over for day or
two, and there he became infatuated
with Q woman, and for her he neglect
ed his Albuquerque home. The rail-
road officials heard OF his wrong doing
and he lost his work. Then he brought
the San Marcial woman with him to Ell
Paso, passed her of IS his wife and
worked on the sympathies of some of
the mem bers of the railroad lodge here
until 1t was proposed to get up q dOna-
tion to help him out. When the project
was brought before the lodge however a
member who knew Meyers real story
exposed him and of course the dona-
ton was not made. Things began to
get pretty hot for him In the town for
the lodge does not propose to support
or fraternize with q man who had
deserted bis wife and children and
Meyers had to leave town. He took
the woman with him across the river
into Mexico. There ia ey dragged out
wretched existence for q short while
until they both fell victims to the small
pox. He died of the dread disease, and
two days after the woman died. It fs

WOES OF THE 6. II.
The Columbus Bridge Giving More
Trouble.

The G. 81. people have been under
going q continuous streak of hard luck
for several months past and the same
condition of affairs still exists. With
successive ''tie ups," delays and ex-
pense, through washouts and burned
bridges and after clearing the recent
obstruction near Flndlsy, the railroad
folks are now confronted with another
difficulty that will tend TO hamper the
transportation freight over the system
for some unknown period.
Last night word was received by
wire stating that the COlum bus bridge
has been washed away again and trains
would be obliged to run around spur
constructed some time ago, on account
of the frequent floats Ia the vicinity.
This will bring trains into Ell Psso
from four to six hours late until the
river decreases and the trains can
proceed by the regular route.
As a result of this latest trouble the
G. 81. passenger train Is seven hours
late today.

MEXICAN FREE ZONE
The Bill Repeating the Bonding
Privilege Is Passed BY the Sen

The senate has passed the house bill
repeating the law allowing merchau-
dise passing through the United States
from any foreign country to be trans

This bill is of local interest slopg
the Mexican border. Juarez is in the
Free Zone and some years ago goods
we're brought through the United
States In bond for the purpose of
smuggling back into this country and
at one time this seriously interfered
with the business of the Ell Paso mer-

up and the restoration of 1t Is not at all
desired so that the people here will be

DOUBLE HEADERS SUSTAINED
Commission Renders Decision
Against Railway Employees.

The railroad commission on May II
rendered decision refusingto grant the
application of railway employees that
the practice of running double header
trains on Texas railroads be prohibit
ed. It was Q unanimous decision and
all three commissioners will sign the
refusal notice. The reason stated for
not granting the application 10 that
the evidence given at the hearing did
not warrant such action; that no COM
plant whatever was made by the en-
ployes of the Fort Worth & Denver
City Road to the running of double
headers on that road, aud that the
practice ia in operation on many other
roads of the country and no complaint
has been heards from employ es on these

4 DIPLOMATIC VICTORY.

One of the greatest diplomatic victor

the nations concerned had aequiesed In
the request of the United States for
assurances that the rights of this coun-
try in China would be respected by
the other powers, no matter what par
tition may be made OF the celestial
empire into spheres Of influence
Our people have no desire TO take part
in any partition Of China, nor to med
die in any agreement which may be
made by other nations to divide that
empire; but we have treaties with Ghi-
ma, and Il is the duty of the admins
tration to see 10 II that our rights are
respected by the new virtual owners
OF the Chinese empire. What Is most
extraordinary Is that the assurances OF
the preservation Of our rights were de-
manded In writing. and have been Civ

can be no quarrel hereafter as TO the
terms Of the assent OF the European
nations 10 our request. From the point
Of view Of dollars and cents this di-
plomatic victory IS as great as the vie
