RObber
Fooled
YOUNG GIRL JUMPED FROM THE
RUSHING TRAIN AFTER THE
NAN WHO HAD HER VALISE.
Happened to Be Awake and He Stop
ped the Train and Picked Her Up,
Together With the Jewels.

Particulars have reached this city
says the Chihuahua Enterprise. of the
daring attempt at robbery which was
perpetrated upon a German girl travel
ing from Chicago to the City of Mex
leo. The following letter from George
E. King. Jr., son of the architect of
this city, which was received this week
by Arthur King. tells of the reckless
jump from moving train by both
the girl and the robber and the promp
action of Mr.. King which not only saw
ed the booty but very probably the
girls life as well.
Il came near shooting a Mexican at
Silao. We reached Silao at 2:20, in
the morning, and took no sleeper. All
in the first class car were fast asleep
except myself and a young German
girl from Chicago. She was sitting in
a seat next to the car door, half asleep.
At Silao. while the train was at the
station she took her diamond earrings
from her ears. and these with some
other jewels which she had secreted in
her bosom and a railroad ticket and
money she placed in her purse, and
then placed the purse in large valise
she carried. To this valise was at
tached small hand satchel. After the
train had left Silao four or five min
utes, and got to running very fast,
heard a woman scream. l jumped and
was in time to see a Mexican running
out of the car door, with both valiseS
in his hand. and being excited, l at
once drew my pistol to take shot at
him. But the girl ran after him and
was between the thief and myself. and
if / had shot the chances are that L
should have killed her. | ran after |!
them and when / reached the platform, !
both had jumped from the moving !
train. 1t at once pulled the bell cord |
and brought the train to a standstill |
in a moment. The train stopped sud-
denly and nearly threw all the pass
engers in the Pullman out of their
berths | jumped off and the con-
ductor came running back with his !,
lantern and asked what was the mat
ter. He said that when / pulled the
cord he thought / was pulling OFF the
roof of the engine. The conductor and
myself walked back at least five blocks
and there We found the young woman
lying down on the side of the bank,
with her face and hands all cut and
her thigh also. Her clothes were bad
ly torn and her face covered with
blood and dust. She was unconscious.
We carried her to the car. and made
some bandageS with handkerchiefs- !,
had bottle of vaseline. and we fixed
her up very well. She did not know
what had happened at all. The thief,
had. in his flight. dropped both grips,
and We found them both, so she lost

The Express Tax Suits Settled Out
of Court

The Express Tax Suits Settled Out
of Court
Five heavy damage suits against
Wells-Fargo and three against the Pa
cific Express company. filed by ID. M
Payne. the produce man. more than a
year ago. have been compromised and
settled out of court.
All these suits were the result OF a
controversy which resulted soon after
the war tax measure became a law and
it was required that all receipts for
express parcels be stamped. Payne re-
fused to furnish the stamps to the eX-
press company when he shipped his
goods and the express company declin-
ed to receive or forward his packages
of fruits and vegetables until he had
given il a stamp for the receipts
Neither would yield the point and the
goods were not shipped
He claimed to have lost customers,
as well as the goods. which were of
a perishable nature, and instituted
suit similar to those filed in New York
by merchants at about the same time.

MINERS SCARCE
THE DEMAND FOR COAL FROM
THIS SECTION IS HEAVY
But Men Cannot Be Secured to Take
Out the Coal, Although the Mines Are
Well Opened Up.

The Captain coal mines are still be-
ing Inconvenience on account of the
scarcity of labor.
The company now has a demand for
twice the output of the mines and can
not secure labor sufficient to work the
property. The company pays better
wages than the mines in Colorado, con-
sidering the expenses of living, but for
some reason miners do not want to live
there. The coal fields. so far as ex-
perts have been able to determine, are
ineXhaustible and the mines are now
opened sufficiently we'll for full opera
ton if the help could be secured
Several shipments of miners from the
east have been brought in during the
past few months but the demand in
creases with the supply.
The Southern Pacific and Mexican
Central railroads now demand more
coal from these mines than is being ia
ken out and the probabilities are that
the railroad demand will increase con-
In this case it will be several
years before the Captain mines will
be able to supply the commercial de-
mands in FL PaSo and consequently the
price of coal will remain high. There
is said to be plenty of coal in the Cap
itan and White Oaks districts and the
of the FL Paso Northeastern
extension may nelp TO develop the
mines equal to the demand.
Ell Paso is said to be one of the
greatest coal markets in the country
The numerous shelters that are or
would be supplied from this point
and the different railroads here keep
the supply so well used up that the
smaller institutions cannot get the
coal.
The line from Santa Fe to the White
Oaks will open still another field which
will help to fill the demand

THE PERFORMANCE OF
FAUST" LAST NIGHT

Lewis MorrisOn's Faust as presented
at the Myar last night was one of the

equalled the original and he was sup
ported by a splendid cast Frank Fan

proved upon but is not to be too heavi-
ly criticised. Miss Genevive Kane now
takes the part of Marguerite and while
she plays her part well and to the en-

be said that she cannot force the inno-
cence that Lula Morrison did a few
years ago. Her first parts are good
but the last too strong for one of her
