London, April 23.-An Alden dis
patch says a skirmish with heavy
casualties cccurred at Nayilodo 40
miles from Silado, Somaliland, bet

The fight occurred on the 18th

reconnoitering party and 200 natives
with two maxims under Col. Punkett
were sent out to reinforce the Brit
ish They encountered an over
whelming force of the enemy consist
ing of cavalry and infantry. The
enemy attacked Plunkett in open
fighting at close quarters. Plunkett
continued the fighting until his am
munition was exhausted He then
formed hollow square with his
troops and unsuccessfully attempted
to bsyonet their way out. The enemy
finally overwhelmed the square and
annihllated all with the exception Of
81 fugltives who reached the main
camp. The rifles and maxlms were
lost.

Santa Fe Cutoff in New Mex.
leo a Certainty.
MAY MEAN NOTHING HERE
But Still It May, and Proba.
bly, Will Mean a
Whole Lot.

It Is announced that B, Lantry & Sons
Of Strong City, Kaus., have secured the
big end of the Santa Fe cutoff contract
In New Mexico. The Lantry contract Is
for the construction Of the west 60 miles
Of tue new 3O0-m mile extension. This in
cludes all the difficult construction on the
entire line, where the road passes through
Abo canvon. 1t Is reported from Las
Vegas that the Santa Fe engineers have
made a survey for the bridge across the
Rio Graude at Belle. This would indi-
cate that the Santa Fe company is plan
ming to build the bridge itself, without
submitting It to contractors. This view
Is strengthened by the statement that the
Lantrys will not be required to do any Of
the steel bridge work on their contract.
1t looks as though the Santa Fe feels
itself competent to build its own bridges.
The portion Of the new line which the
Lantrys will build begins at Belin, or
Belen, 20 miles south of Albuquerque, on
the Rio Grande, and extends through the
mountainous country east of the Rio
Grande by way of Abo canyon to a little
town called Willard, where the Santa Fe
crosses the Santa Fe Central. The Santa
Fe Central is new line having no con-
nectlon whatever with the A. Il. d s. f.
1t has not yet been announced by the
Santa Fe who will build the remainder Of
the important New Mexico cutoff. There
is besides the Lanlry contract line to
be built from Belen across the Rio Grande
to Rio PueNo, and another short line
from LaJoya to Rio Puerco. Rio Puerco
10 a station 80 miles west Of Albuquerque,
and LaJoya is 10 miles south of Belen on
the EIPaso line. There Is another line
connecting LaJoya with the
main line of the cutoff just before 1t en-
ters the mountains east of the Grande.

REUNION DATE THIS YEAR
FIRST WEEK IN SEPTEMBER

It's probable that the Southwest Kan
sas association will hold Its reunion for
1908 during the first week Of September.
That is the date favored by the officers
but of course conditions may change that
selection. The only step taken as yet
has been the sending in Of requisition
for tents for the week mentioned. If no
request for Hat date has been sent in
ahead and the tents can be secured, the
first week of September is very likely to
be the date. So far as can be learned
now the fair meeting here and the re-.
union will be held upon different dates.
1t Is understood that the Reunion associa-
tion does not wish to have any side at
fractions this year.
The date of the fair meeting, II the
Ford County association goes into the
Arkansas Valley circuit will depend up.
