Early Romance Of New Mexico Couple

IA JOKER'S TIN CAN.
II was Tied 20 a Horses Tail and
Caused a Lively Race.


Cruelty to animals has not been seen
to any extent around Albuquerque, but
there occurred on the streets yesterday
morning an act showing extreme cruel
~ and inhuman treatment to dumb
beasts. About ~ o'clock young horse
came down Railroad avenue from the
Highlands at terrific and dangerous
speed. A first sight one would think
the horse was running away, having
had some terrible fright, but on a sec.
ond look a large tin can could be seen
tied to the frightened horses tail,
which was striking its feet at every
jump, making the horse more ferocious
every minute. The terrified horse ran
up North Second street and disap-
peared around the corner. The un.
usual sight caused many a long laugh
from the World of the Street." but II
would not have been so funny had the
horse run into carriage or run down
some pedestrian. II Is bad enough to
tie can to a dogs tail. but when II
Genes to horse the law should take
the joker in It's hands and make him
pay a penalty for his inhuman acts
Most fortunately the horse kept well
to the middle of the street and no one
got In its way.

New Mexico. the Rock Island, In its
remarkable expansion within the last
year and half has spread into terri
tory heretofore served exclusively by
the Atchison. IL has been agreed, how
ever. by the executive officers of the
two railroad systems that the rapid
development OF the territory in the
for both. and they do not intend TO re-
duce their revenues or profits by any
cutting of rates. Changes in tariffs
that may be found necessary hereafter
will be made by joint action.
That the Rock Island system viii
some day extend to the Pacific coast
is certain. The frequent rumors of
friction between the southern Pacific
and the Rock Island companies over
traffic and train service are denied by
officials of both companies.
There Is nothing now to warrant a
belief that the Rock Island has deter
mined to Immediately extend It's line
west OF lei Paso. Even II disposed to
do so II could not make a trackage con-
tract with the Santa Fe company. The
extension being built by the Santa Fe
company to Santa Rosa will not be
completed in less than fifteen months.
When this line IN completed II would
be greatly to the advantage of the
Rock Island TO make an alliance with
the Santa Fc and break away from
the Southern Pacific.
Such an agreement with the Santa
Fe would give the Rock Island the
shortest line from Chicago to the Pa
clfc coast. Its present agreement with
the Southern Pacific does not bind the
Rock Island to make traffic or track.
age alliance with the Santa Fe or any
other company. II is possible that the
Santa Fe would prefer making track
age agreement rather than have the
Rock Island extend to the coast. but
no such agreement has been made.
