May Be Made to Start
Sympathetic Strike Here.
Delegates From Cleburne, Tex,
Are in Town.
OFFICERS DETERMINED
Say They Can't Afford to Lose
the Gulf Strike.
Geo. Mulberry Has Conference
With w. e. Nixon.

1t is stated on good authority that for
several days there have been in Topeka
a delegation of Santa Fe strikers from
Cleburne, Texas, whose mission here
may be to excite the local Santa Fe
shop employees to sympathetic strike.
1t is understood that as yet these dele
gates have made no official appearance
before the various unions, but have been
doing their work quietly and with so
much secrecy that many of the shop
men do not even know of their presence
in town.
The officials of the road, however.
have obtained information as to the
identity of the men, and when question
ed concerning the matter today, some
of the Santa Fee shopmen admitted they
had heard that representatives of the
Cleburne strikers were in the city.
1t is not generally believed by the To-
peka shopmen that the Cleburne dele
gates can accomplish their object. In
general, the Topeka shopmen are well
satisfied, and are not inclined to allow
themselves to be led into a sympathetic
strike. The Cleburne strike, as a mat
ter of fact, is rather a peculiar one.
1t does not involve the question of more
wages, and was precipitated in the in
terests of one man who objected to be-
ing changed from one machine to an
other at the Cleburne shops. 1t is fur
Their claimed by the officials of the road
that the strike was not authorized, and
that no formal presentation of the COM
plants has ever been made to the man
agement of the road.
One of the principal officials of the
Santa Fe road located in Topeka said
today to a reporter for the State Jour-
nal:
I'VE could not afford to lose that
strike at Cleburne. There is too much
at stake for US. I do not believe that
the strike can succeed. Strikes which
are not authorized very rarely do. We
are sending a great many men to
the Gulf lines. The fact that the San
ia Fe is just now getting SO many new
locomotives is of great assistance to
us. We are able to turn our new en-
gines right in to take the place of those
which can't be repaired
1t would be a very unfortunate thing
for Topeka to have a general strike
brought on here because of the dis
turbance down on the Gulf lines The
sympathetic strike of the railway teleg-
raphers did not affect Topeka much, but
sympathetic strike of all the iron
workers in the Santa Fe shops would
be a serious thing, both for the men and
for the town. A general strike of this
kind would involve not less than 1,00l

TULSA PIPE DREAM.
No Truth in Report That Santa Fe
Has Lost OWasso Branch.

One of the nun erOus horde OF Okla
hOma and Indian territory pipe artists
has worked off the following dispatch
on the ST. Louis Republics:
Tulsa, I. T., July 26-It is reported
that the purchase of the Shawnee Red
Fork railway at this place last Satur-
day by the Rock Island system has
been approved, and that go per cent of
the stock in the Owasso branch OF the
Santa Fe has also been secured The
Rock Island, having purchased the
Choctaw route, will now complete by
the terms of their contract the Shawnee
Red Fork road of about 80 miles, and
thus secure entrance to Kansas City

west.

section is obtained through the use of

false.

Bill APPS Spring Poem,

1t is not quite time to indulge in
spring poetry. l tried it some
years ago and strained my mind
and shall not try 1T again. One
poem is enough to make a man
famous and | have never seen mine
improved upon:
The bull frog bellerS in the bitches,
He's shufIled or his winter britches,
The hawk for infant chickens watcheth
And fore you know it one he cotcheth
The lizard is sunnin himself on rail-,
The lamb is shaking his new born tail
King Cotton has unfurled his banner
And scents the air with sweet guanngI,
The darky is plowing his stubborn mule
And Jerks the lines with Gee, you fool"
AdoWn the creek and round the ponds
Are gentlemen and vagabonds,
Aud all our little dirty sinners
Are digging bait and catching minners"

ARIZONA LEADING IN RAILROADS.
Larger Amount of Building Than
Any Other State.

Arizona has more miles of rail.
road under construction or pro.
Jected than any state or territory
in the Union. The lines are all to
be connected with main transcon-
tinental lines and some of them
are to go through to tidewater.
The line that is projected from
CochiSe, on the Southern Pacific
railroad to Cananea, will go on to
the Gulf of California, somewhere
below Guaymas, while another
will pass through Yuma, thence to
San Diego. The Santa Fe cutoff
to Phoenix is another road of
importance. 1t will run from
Congress to Francoula and will
shorten the distance between Los
and that place several hun
dred miles. The Southern route
from Phoenix to Bisbee is now in
process Of construction. The old
Mineral Belt road is being revived
and it is believed that it will soon
be constructed. The fact that the
Grand Canyon forest reserve cuts
off the big timbered forest from
the mills at Williams and Flagstaff
makes the building of this line a
necessity, 1t will connect with
the Gila Valley, Globe & North
ern. Other lines are now under
construction and will be completed
in the next six mOnths.-Stdr.

He IS SAFE IN JAIL,
Bert AIVOrd is Back in His Old
Quarters in Tombstone.

Bert Alvola, who surrendered
himself to Sheriff Lewis on Wed.
nesday last, was placed behind the
bars in the Tombstone iail last
night, being brought here from
Tucson, where he had previously
been taken. Upon his arrival here
quite a number Of people saw him
alightfrom the stage and the noted
fugitive prisoner recognized many
acquaintances Of the days when he
was peace officer himself Al
word was seen later at the jail by a
ProSpectOr reporter Alvord looks
natural and while his appearance
would indicate that he did not
miss many meals, he nevertheless
showed a careworn expression Of
countenance. In discussing his sur.
render Alvord spoke as if he was
glad his ceaseless vigil was at an
end, though not forgetting to state
that he was innocent Of the charges
against him and expected to be
made free by the courts.
IL feel relieved that this moving
about is over with" said Alvord,
"and made up my mind to surrend-
er to Sheriff Lewis, come back to
Jail and stay here until am turned
loose by the court. / am not
guilty Of train robbing or obstruct.
ing the mail, or helping to, for
which | am indicted, and they
can't convict an innocent man."
The reporter referred to the Jail
break, which in the light of his
remarks, might leave his action
open to comment "Why should
l not leave jail?" promptly said Al
word, who previously had not laid
any claim to being a humorist,
"the Jail was open and 1 walked
out and have staid out until now."
Alvord stated that he had spent
all Of his three years time in Mex
leo and only visited his old haunts
once, when he came to his old
ranch in the valley and got some
of his horses, "The.spapers have
not treated me right" said Alvord,
"when any robbery, hold-up, etc,
was reported, Bravo Juan and my
self were at once connected with
it. The fact is, ! have not been
connected with anything of the
kind whatever, and when my cases
come to trial will show that | am
innocent of the indictments
charged against me, and not such
a bad outlaw as has been pictured"
Of the Chacon capture Alvord
stated he affected his capture in
Mexico and delivered him to the
officers through Stiles. OF the
whereabouts of Bravo Juan, who
escaped Jail here with Alvord, the
latter disclaims any knowledge.
Alvord has a crippled right hand
which he claims was caused by a
broncho horse some years ago and
was recently hurt in trying to
handle a stubborn mule.-Tomb-
