Nine Santa Fe Photographers to b
Moved to La Junta-

The changes billed to take place in
the Santa Fe dispatcher's office at Las

change is in the nature of a reduction
of the force from thirteen men to four
men, the other nine going to La Junta.
It is made on account Of a change in
the relay offices, the dispatches being
relayed from La Junta to Los Angeles
under the new way, instead of from TO-

and quadruplex wires cause the change
and it is not known who will be the
ones to go yet. The men left will divide
the twenty-four hours into an eight
hour shift, and the extra will work when

A FEW MISTAKES.
Ell Paso Herald Gets Its Information
Wires Crossed.

Here is an item from the Ell Paso
Herald which is a curiosity:
1.-The general freight offices of the
Santa Fe will shortly be moved from
Topeka to Kansas City and Chicago
The vice. president, general attorney,
general manager, and general passenger
agent will remain in Topeka"
The only mistake is that the general
freight offices will not be moved, and
that the vice president and general at
torney never have had their offices in
Topeka.

CROWD WITNESSES BURNING.
Max Beach Burns to Death in Reach
of Help

Little Max Beach, four years old, liv-
ing with his grandmother at 1717 Third
street northeast, was burned to a crisp
yesterday morning in full view of at
least forty men, and not one in the
crowd raised a hand to do anything
toward helping to save the little fell
lows life.
An aunt of the child tried to go up
into the attic, but was driven back by
the flames. The little boy was crying
pitifully for nelp at the attic window,
which was within easy reach of a
porch, and the men who were present
stood listening to his screams and not
one among them had the courage to
even make an attempt as rescuing him.
The chnd went into the attic to play
about $50 yesterday morning, and
shortly afterwards the aunt heard the
child crying and also discovered smoke
issuing from the roof of the building.
An alarm was turned in, but before the
firemen had reached the scene the boy
was burned to death. .....---
The child'S mother died nearly four
years ago, and he has since been living
with his grandparents at 1717 Third
street northeast. His father is BIZ
cycle repairer and works at Duluth.
He was telephoned to at once Coro-
ner Williams viewed the remains and
decided that his death was purely acct
dental. The body will be taken to
Nashua, Iowa, for interment.
1t is thought that the little fellow
was playing with matches and they be-
came ignited, which started the fire in
the. building. The loss is $500 on the
house and $3.50 on the furniture.
