p. V. OFFICES REMOVED.

The Offices of the general freight and
passenger agent and the auditor Of the
p. V. & n. E., have been moved from
Roswell to Amarillo.
This throws out of work. temper
arily the Roswellites who held with the
p v company the positions OF auditor,
cashier bookkeeper. voucher clerk.
freight clerk, stenographer and ness
enger : .
The same men who held at Roswell
the positions of claim and ticket clerk
went 10 Amarillo to remain in the posi-
tons.
c. Calter. who was bookkeeper for
the company. has secured situation
with the Choctaw road at Little ROCK,
Ark.
Thus the proud city of Roswell be-
gins TO feel the effect o fthe ac1uisi-
ton OF the Pecos Valley road by the
Santa Fe and the more pessimistic cit
liens have begun to believe that II
Roswell will be able to induce the
trains to stop there the town will be
fortunate.
in He says Carlsbad feels that as
long as Mr.. Nichols is at the helm the
situation is perfectly safe. and that as
many of the old employees of the road
will be retained as possible. Judging
from the first move of the Santa Fe
it seems that it isn't going to be pos
sible TO retain many of them.
FELL FROM ENGINE.
Arthur L. Parshall an engineer who
ran an engine for the Santa Fe for
many years. but who has more recently
been employed at Williams. Ariz., died
on the first at Laguna while going
from Williams to Albuquerque, from
the effects of falling from an engine.
For several months he has been run
ming an engine for the Saginaw lumber
company at Williams and was in the
discharge of his duties for that COM
pany when the fatal accident occurred.
He was in the act of stepping down
out of the cab when he slipped and fell
to the ground, sustaining injuries to
his brain and spine. Medical aid was
summoned and every thing possible
was done to relieve his sufferings, but
finding it impossible to do anything for
him at Williams he was placed on the
train to be taken to Albuquerque. and
he died before reaching that city. The
direct cause of his death was hemorr-
hage of the brain. He was forty. years
of age and unmarried. He was ma ac-
tive member of the B. of i. E.
LETTERS IN WRONG BOX.
The police of San Antonio report
the finding in a trash box in that city
of twenty letters that had been
mailed in it by persons who could not
tell the difference between trash box
and a street mail box. Some time ago
it was reported that a u. H. railroad |
man from Sanderson mailed some let |
tiers in a trash box and through mis-
take it was published that the incident \
occurred in Sanderson. but it develop |
ed later that if it happened at all it |
was in San Antonio and the letter was |
sent home by G. II. railroader who |
was attending court at San Antonio. |
But the man on whom the story was |
old wrote Link and Pin that the |
man who said he mailed letter in a 1
trash box. in an attempt to be funny, /
had slandered him. Very probably /
the story on the SanderSon man was |
told for a joke. but it is evident that |
some people who do not know the diff
ference between trash box and a mail
box have beeh in San Antonio and
mailed some letters.
MR.. RORCHERDING HURT.
H. C. Borcherding. chief of the car
department of the G. H., received a |
painful injury yesterday in an accident |
that happened to him in the G. H.
yards.
He was Strengthening up a pile of
lumber when a piece slipped and in
i
across the rails of some switch tracks.
His left arm was mashed against a
rail and the muscles were severely
bruised.
The hurt is causing him considerable
pain and he can scarcely move the arm
today. /
Mr.. Bordherding is getting well along
in years and such fall is calculated to
hurt him worse than a younger person.
He considers himself lucky to escape
with as slight injuries as he did.
THEY WANT LABORERS.
The contractors who will do the con-
struction work on the extension of the
White Oaks road from CarrizoZo. are
finding some difficulty in securing men
to help them do the work.
They are offering IL cents per yard
for dirt work. 80 cents for loose rock
and 90 cents Tor solid rock
They are writing to different places
for men to work on the extension and
offer to haul laborers from Ell Paso to
the end of the track free. T.
Ell Pasoans should keep this in mind
and when approached by a man who
says he would work if he could get a
job they should direct the poor unfor-
tunate work hunter to the work galore
which is waiting for them on this ex-
tension.
AWFUL DEATH.

employed in the shops Of the Mexican
National at Laredo, met with an awful
death while in the discharge of his du-
ties. He was in charge of a nut cut
ter and had occasion to go up to the
