FIRST TRAIN THURSDAY.
Big Canadian River Bridge Is Now
Ready For Use.

The bridge over the Canadian river at
Logan on the new line of the Rock ISL
and railroad to Ell Paso was opened for
traffic this week The first work train
crossed it on Thursday.
The construction of the bridge is con-
sidered an excellent piece of engineer
ing 1t is over 700 feet long and is 30
feet high 1t also has fill of 40 feet on
one side. 1t is longer than the Kansas
avenue Melan arch bridge over the Kaw
river in Topeka
The surface of the bed of the Cana
dian river is quicksand to a depth of
six feet Underneath this is a seven foot
layer of gravel and stone and under
meath the layer, a hardpan bed. The
whole is over bed of fine sand The
excavations for the masonry TO sun
port the steel arch supports for the
bridge are down through the quicksand
and almost through the gravel to the
hardpan.
The bridge is a fat one. there being
no overhead steel work. Five steel arch
es so feet tall rise out of the riverbed
to support the girders. On one side
where the bank is shelving two shorter
towers are built Between each of the
towers are eight so foot Orders. and
over each tower 35 foot girder.
The construction of the track was de-
layed on account of the building of this
bridge Now that trains are allowed TO
cross the track gang is laying so pound
steel at the rate of three miles per dav
with the aid of a Roberts tracklaying
machine, while workmen complete the
work of riveting and finishing the
bridge.

was stated in the testimony that Starr
would not have been hurt had he stood
still, but that he ran in front of the car.
Witnesses were also introduced to show
that he was drunk and the jury re-
turned a verdict of death due to his
own carelessness. The deceased left on
ly a small estate to provide for a wife
and three small children. The adm mis-
traitor filed suit for damages against the
railroad. The attorneys for the Santa
Fe are making their defense on the
grounds that Starr was drunk when
run over and that ne had been warned
not to go on the tracks in that condi-
ton. The plaintiff bases his claim upon
the grounds that Starr had been drink

He stands but feet inches, and he is
we'll known along the line of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad, whose monster
engines he guides with unerring hand
and far-seeing, cautious eye. Although
of slight physique and low stature, Mr..
Geiler is a strong man, and likewise one
who understands locomotive engines in
their every part.
He began his career as call boy for
the engine men At IS he entered the
service as a fireman, and although he
has been engaged on some of the larg-
est engines on the road, he has never
admitted that his tasks We're too Sc
we're. This sort of conduct was sure of
reward. His superior officers gave him
a position as engineer, and he is now
handling a great ''mogul'' engine run
ming between Chicago and the round
house His fellow engineers delight in
calling Mr. Geiler the kid" presum-
ably not only because of his dininutive
size, but also because he is only rs
years old.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Mrs. w. J. Freeman Convicted
of Grand Larceny.
She Sued the Santa Fe For
100000.
EMPLOYED AT LA TUNA
Robbed Trunks While Serving
as Company's Agent.
Station House Burned Under
Suspicious Circumstances.
SUNDAY.

Officials of the Santa Fe road have
received word from Los Cruces, N M,
that Mrs W. ]. Freeman. who recently
sued the Santa F'e road for $4,000 dam
ages for personal injuries, has been con-
victed in the court at Los Cruces on the
charge of grand larceny by embezzle-
ment Of railroad property. The penalty
for this offense is from one to five years
in the penitentiary-
Mrs. Freemen's case has aroused much
interest in all departments of the Santa
F'e railroad The evidence upon which
she has been convicted was furnished
by the secret service Of the Santa Fe
road, though the prosecution was con-
Quoted solely by the local officers OF
New Mexico
Up to about a year ago, Mrs Freeman
was employed as the company's agent
at the little town of La Tuna n. NJ. She
succeeded her husband, who had died,
and for some time had discharged her
work with entire satisfaction to the
company.
Finally the officials of the company
thought they discovered evidences of
crookedness in Mrs. Freeman's relations
with the company Trunks which We're
stored at her station were some times
reported to have been overhauled for
valuab les and property belonging both
to the railway company and to the Har-
Vey eating house company was found to
be missing. Soon after these discoveries
were made, the station house at La Tuna
burned to the ground, together with all
the books and records of the Office. In
the fire. Mrs. Freeman was somewhat
injured by being burned Mrs. Freeman
refused to be taken to the company's
hospital, but went to another hospital
at her own expense.
The company suspected Mrs. Freeman
of having some criminal knowledge of
the origin of the fire which burned the
station house. Mrs. Freeman'S personal
effects were searched, and some of the
missing articles of value were discover
ed. watch which Mrs. Freeman
claimed was given to her by her hus-
band was identified as one which had
been taken from one of the rif1ed trunks.
AS soon as Mrs. Freeman got out of
the hospital she commenced suit against
the railway company for $4,000 dam
ages. She claimed that she had sustain
ed injuries in the fire which were worth
about that sum to her. This suit was
commenced at Ell PasO. and was re-
ported not long ago in the State Jour
nal.
Since then Mrs Freeman has been
brought to trial on the charge of larceny,
with the result as reported to the Santa
Fe officials. The damage suit will in all
probability not be heard of again.

Southern Pacific.

Work towards building the new pas
senger depot of the Southern Pacific in
San Antonio. Texas, is now in progress
and it will be pushed to completion as
fast as possible. A permit was grant
ed for the erection of a $50, 900 building.
This is believed to represent the mere
cost of construction, for by the time

ready for occupancy it is expected that
the cost will be above the 100000 mark.

Texas and Pacific depot at Fort Worth
this will be the finest in the state.
