Gold is a feeble attraction compared
with oil in these days, when manufacture
ers are hunting night and day for fuel
that will be at once cheap, clearly and
abundant. Coal is expensive to trans
port, and not satisfactory In use compar-
ed with crude petroleum. Oil seems to
be the coming fuel. The value Of the by
products have increased 100 fold within
the last few years, there being upwards
of fifty commercial products from the
residue after the Illuminating kerosene is
distilled. With the greatly broadening
field for consumption, and the myriad of
new uses to which the various products
are put, it would seem that the industry
is only in it's infancy and the great new
fields are a commercial necessity, COM
ing at a time when they are most needed.

he hurriedly said. But there was no

His brides arms hung loosely down.
1t was not that she had tainted, Ger
Wis knew, for her eyes were wide open
and staring, and there was no time to
puzzle over her strange inertness.
Nearly every one was out of the
magnificently furnished car. The
train, which had been slowing, was
now at standstill. 1t was quite dark
when Gervis stood on the steps with
his burden; but, to his wonder, he
now saw what he had been unaware Of
before.
The train was in one of the snow
sheds-in fact, in one of the longest
Of these structures, and one mile in
length.
Under its roof. which was shaped
as continuation Of the slope of the
mountain-side, the train was drawn
up. And Gervis gasped, for he now
discovered the cause Of the frenzied
excitement. The train itself was not
on fire; 1t was the snow shed.

earth could a snow shed take fire In
this wintry weather." he exclaimed.

at his ear. and pair of black eyes
met those Of Gervis. "a snow shed

AS rule, men on trolleys patrol the
sheds after every train to inspect 1t;
but this has broken out after they
have passed" !.
The speaker pointed long, thin
finger to the wall OF flame ahead Of
the engine, which loomed black and
weird against the bright glare. Even
in the alarming situation Gervis could
not but be struck at the calm tone OF
the strangers voice, and his serene
demeanoE.
Below thh two men, as they stood on
the steps of the car. the terror-stricken
passengers were rushing to and fro in
wild alarm. There seemed to be no
body to appeal to. The driver and
stoker gazed helplessly from their en-
gine into the barrier Of hre. The guard
had quietly leaped out and sped back
in search Of the hose always found In
every snow shed in case OF fire.
The flames were roaring and shoot
ing up through the roof into the black
night. Each moment the danger was
becoming more and more imminent.
"If this goes on we shall be roast
ed alive!" Gervis shouted, as he es-
sayed to step down.

ground, his arms stretched out to re-

steps the strangers hand made . few

Details of the Shooting of a Young
Man Near Fronteras, on the Naco-
sari Railroad, By a Drunken Mex
o. lean, Who Has Now Reformed.

The Herald yesterday printed in the
NeighborhOod Notes the story of a
young man by the name of Leon Cham
berlain who was shot and robbed by a
Mexican while working on the Naco-
sari road near Frontoras. Chamberlain
was shot through the right jaw, the
bullet coming out at the back of the
neck. He was also robbed of $500 in
coin and time check. The shooting
occurred March 16.
Last night Chamberlain arrived in
Ell Paso from Bisbee, Ariz., and was
taken to the Orndorff hotel. When
The Herald reporter called there he
found the wounded man in care of Doc
tor r. o. Smith of Pittsfield. Illinois,
and friend named Caywood from Bis
bee. AriZ. The doctor had just finished
dressing the wounds after the long rail
road journey. and Chamberlain was
resting in reclining chair. His head
was swathed in bandages and he ap-
peared to be very exhausted.
He is a young man of about "a years
OF age. Immediately after he was shot
his friend Caywood telegraphed to
Chamberlain people at Pittsfield, ILL.,,
and DIR. Smith was sent down at once
tc take charge of him and accompany
Rim to Chicago. When he arrives
there he will go into the hospital under
the care of DR.. Sem, the famous sur
econ of that place. Part of the law
Gone has been shot away but it is
thought good recovery may be made.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-03-29

While Chamberlain was able to talk
the doctor would not permit him to
do SO. but the story of the shooting
was told by his friend Caywood. with
occasional interpections from Cham
berlain himself.
1t appears that Chamberlain was con-
Bected with the surveying corps at
work on the Phelps-Dodge road in
course of construction from Bisbee to
Nacosari. At the time of the shooting
he was running the chain and was
about 400 yards from two other men
VINO were working with him.
Fronteras is not a very healthy spot
to be in unless a man is prepared for
emergencies. and ordinarily Chamber
lain carried his siXShooter. Things had
been so quiet. however. around that re-
gion for some time that the other
men in the camp had leased Chamber
lain about carrying his weapon and he
Lad loaned it to a friend. He was
therefore unarmed when the Mexican
suddenly appeared and thrust a 45-caI-
iber revolver in his face and demanded
his money.
His companions were some distance
away and there was nothing else to do
but give up. He handed the Mexican
$500 in coin and time check. AS
soon as the Mexican received them he
deliberately pulled the trigger and shot
Chamberlain through the head.
The two other men saw the whole
thing but being unarmed they lost NO
time getting back to the camp. Cham
berlain ran about 200 yards and then
fell exhausted in front of Mexican
hut. The inmates came out and gave
him some water and shortly after some
men came from the camp and took him
in.
He was taken at once to Bisbee and
his wounds dressed by a local physi-
clan. The irony of the situation is that
Chamberlain is accounted very
quick hand with his gun though he has
never used it in an offensive way. and
the day he was shot was the first time
he had gone to work without it.
Upon investigation it was afterwards
discovered that the time keeper of the
construction gang had sold the revolt
yer to the Mexican. and it is claimed
By some with a sinister purpose in
view. The Mexican was under the in
fiuence of liquor at the time and soon
after he got the gun he met a boy with
a couple of dollars in his hand. He
Immediately held him up and then pro-
caeded along the line until he met
Chamberlain. and attacked him.
The reporter asked Mr.. Caywood
what had become of the Mexican.
We'll. he's a good 'greaser' now"
was the grim reply. He was captured
shortly after the shooting and some
orders were received from the Mexi-
can government. Soon after the ru-
rales brought him in feet foremost.
They explained that he had tried to
