Surveying for Alamogordo- Demi-
Short Line

The report comes from Alamogordo
that a party Of engineers are now be-
ing organized there and will soon be
put In the field to make a permanent
survey for the -Deming
short line that has been projected
from Alamogordo to Deming through
Las Cruces gap, says the El Paso
Herald.
Those In Alamogordo who are In
touch with the proposition state that
everything now points to an early
building OF this line. as everything
seems to be shaping that way.
There is also some talk OF the new
survey being made so as to cross the
Santa Fe tracks about two miles south
of Las Cruces and miss that point en-
tirely. This has not been stated Of
ficially and II Is the supposition that
the engineers will make a survey OF
both routes and the one that Is best
for the interests OF the company will
be adopted.

three men searching the clothes OF
White. He knew that Something was

the night police. Descriptions of the
three men having been obtained,
search was instituted, but no arrest
was made until carly this morning,
when a boilermaker. giving his name
as John Williams, was taken in tow by
Marshal McMillin. This was followed
by the arrest OF another boilermaker,
named Charles Hines.
During the night White aroused from
his slumbers and made his way TO the
S-Spot saloon on South Second street.
and there found his fireman, and both
had some more drinks. the fireman do.

revealed the fact tina. his gold watch
valued at s75, was also missing.
These additional facts reaching the
police. extra efforts were then made
to capture the third man. Officer
Knapp had. in the meantime. heard
that quite a large man. answering
the description OF the fellow wanted,
had been at the Red Light" saloon
on North Third street, with a
gold watch to pawn. Acting
on this clue Marshal McMillin
visited the saloon and discovered the
facts to be true. ascertaining that
the man had pawned the watch for
$40. The watch was secured by the
marshal, and this afternoon Officers
Cooper and Knapp went In search OF
the man. He was found at Jones
place on the east side of the railroad
track and opposite the shops: was
arrested and placed In the city Jail.
White was seen this afternoon and
he estimates that he was rolled for
about $65 In money and the watch.
Only $i.20 were found on the men
arrested. White and Haley would
like to leave the city tonight. with
the engines for California, and in that
event, Judge Crawford may accom-.
modate them by holding a preliminary
hearing OF the three men arrested
some time this afternoon.
White and Haley were up before the
police court themselves this morning
and paid fines for being drunk.

luncheon was served, to which all did
justice. The rest of the evening was so
enjoyed that the lateness, or earliness
rather, of the hour was not noticed un-
til about one o'clock a. m., when there
was general rustling for coats and
hats and soon all was quiet save the
rafting of buggies over the rough roads.
