A Car Loaded With Silver Bars En-
tered by Three Me icans- One
Mexican Shot. ..~..

Alamogordo, n NJ, Jan. 2s:--somewhere
between this place and Ell Paso, Texas
a United tSates bonded car, in transit
from the Ell cPaso smelter to Chicago,
loaded with 600 bars of isilver bullion was
entered by robbers and eighty of the bars
stolen. At ,Jarila Junction the broken
seal was discovered and an investigation
revealed three Mexicans in the car. When
an attempt was made to eject them they
pulled knives and a lively fight took place.
hTe crew drove the robbers away.
At Dog Canyon Sheriff Hunter saw three
Mexicans who took to the brush. A call
to halt was answered BY fusillade. A
running fight ensued. Hunter shot a
Mexican through the heart. The other
two escaped but posses are after them.
Officials are Of the opinion that the bonded
car was entered by robbers just outside
of Ell Paso who threw the bars out of the
car, to be gathered UP by confederates.
The value of the missing bullion is esti-
mated at 100000.

Efficient administration Of the

pair the efficient administration Of the
library.
1t is quite certain that the library
board has hopes that some one will come
forward with a gift that will settle at
least the problem of making consider
able improvements in the present build
ing.
It has been suggested several times that
an appeal should be made to Mr.. Carnegie
for assistance for the library, but in adj
dition to the lack of the precedent for
asking help to complete work already
begun there has been a feeling that there
Minneapolis that it would be a much more
appropriate thing if such gift came from
local sources. There have been hints,
based primarily on his own remarks. that
prominent Minneapolis capitalist has in
contemplation plan for building to pro-
vide for the aesthetic needs Of the city
and as he realizes the importance Of a
close connection between the library and
the art interests, he would be likely to
favor bringing them as close together as
could be conveniently arranged.
Mr.. Carnegie was sounded recently upon
the question Of giving to an institution
combining library and art interests, al
though it is not certain that this was
done with direct reference to the local
situation land he made the statement that
he was combining his gifts to libraries
alone and preferred to do so. The knowl-
edge of this attitude has suggested this
solution in case Mr.. Carnegie should be
asked to help, that the old library be
turned over to the societies interested in
art and the educational museums and
that a new library be built on the adjoin-
ing property.
