the road be built It will be the easiest
and fastest road in the territory.
The report that negotiations between
the Rock Island ana Southwestern
that would result in the abandonment
Of the proposed new road had been
effected, probably arose from the leak
ing out Of the f2ct that the latter sys.
tenn had purchased the .Tucumcari.
Santa Rosa line from the Rock Island
This purchase was, however, complet.
ed before the new Dawson line was
projected. Four weeks ago the New
York Sun contained a quarter Of a
page ad. in which 1t offered as Sc.
curity for bonds to be issued for the
building of the new Dawson line a
mortgage on the Southwestern system
and the Tucumcari-Santa Rosa branch
The fact OF the possession Of the line
does not Obviate In the least the ne
cessity for the new short line. Nc
one can say what turn the railroad
negotiations now in progress may
take. but 1t Is still the intention o.
the Phelps-D Dodge people to build tn
new line. This information comes di
rectly from the officers Of the South

Cleveland. O.. Oct. 16.-The Indem-
nifty Savings and Loan company, q
banking house in Superior street,
failed to open its doors today. The
following notice was posted on the
entrance:
This company has made an assign
ment for the benefit Of It's creditors
to H. r. Sanborn, VINO will make a
financial statement as soon as an In.
ventory can be made"
The concern was one against which
Attorney General Bliss began quo
warranto proceedings in the circuit
court on Saturday last. with a view to
preventing the company from continu-
Ing business in this state. The attor.
ney general charges that the com.
pany has violated the state banking
laws. II. r. Sanborn Is president of
the company. The officers Of the In
stitution declare that It is absolutely
solvent and depositors can readily be
paid in full They also s.ate that the
attorney generals action was without
due cause.

RATION COURT
important Railway Insurance Case
Nine Prisoners Sentenced by
Chief Justice M,l;s

Chief Justice Mills and the mem
bers of his official family returned
Saturday night from Ration.
Judge Mills adjourned the fall term
of the district court Saturday at
noon after three weeks term. One
Of the nest important decisions rem
Gered by the court was In the case
Of Charles Donnelly VS.. The Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers ct al
In this case Mr. Donnelly, being a
member of the order and carrying
';fe insurance in the Engineers Life
Insurance company. became mem.
ber Of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen. Under the constitu
ton and rules and regulations of the
first named order he contracted not
TO become member of any other
labor organization under penalty OF
forfeiting his membership. and he
therefore brought suit 10 restrain the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
from expelling him from that order
and cancelling his life insurance
policies in the Accident association

Judge Mills in effect decided that
having subscribed to the rules and
regulations OF the Brotherhood Of Lo
comotive Engineers he was bound by
them, and dissolved the temporary
Injunction. Mr.. Murphy Of Denver
and Mr.. Leahy presented the case fol-
Mr.. Donnelly. while Jones & Rogers
represented the Brotherhood. II Is
understood the case will be appealed
to the supreme court OF the territory
as the questions involved in the case
are very important. The case Is the
first of the kind tried in the United
States and 1t will doubtless go TO the
u. s. supreme court for finad adjudi
cation.
On Saturday forenoon Judge Mills
imposed the following sentences npon
