Bold burglars. or bold crooks OF

The road originally used to cross the

is but ill-dehned In some places at this
day. Mining and oil prospectors have
made new roads and better ones; sur
veyors have found new passes; super
yisors have improved branches from
county roads, until II seems impossible
to definitely and surely resurreet the
original highway. but there are old
Spanish settlers In that locality who
