taken to Ration where he will be kept
charge of train robbery and also the
alias Ed Franks, arrested on the
pending his trial.
| McMannus or Franks will be tried
first for train robbery committed in
Union County, New Mexico, in July
1899, and this trial will be held at
Clayon, the county seat. Should he
be acquitted he will be tried at Ration
for the murder of Sheriff Farr, the lat

Colfax County.

New Mexico, who was brought here
for the purpose of identifying the p-is-
oner, at the county Jail yesterday
morning. Hunt used to sell goods to
alleged members of Black Jacks gang
and the longer he looked at McManus
the more he was convinced that he was
the much wanted Franks. The Far,
brothers are confident they have the
right man and while they are saying
but little at this time they intimate
they will produce witnesses to posi-
lively identify him when the proper
time comes. The prisoner claims that
he is not Franks and apparently was
not alarmed over his present condi-
tion.
McManus has of late been acting in
the capacity of cattle detective and
was instrumental in having three par.
ties arrested for alleged cattle rust.

McManus admitted purchasing dyna-
mite in Trinidad but said he used it
for blasting out trails.
Other parties who saw McManus at
the jail yesterday were under the i'm
preston that he was not Franks but
all admitted that they had never seen
Franks to know him which makes the
Identification of Mr.. Hunt all the
stronger as he was the only one of the
party who had ever had any business
acquaintance with Franks.

The new stone arch bridge over the
Santa (Fea River on College Street is
complex and is now open to the
public. 1t was constructed under the
supervision of the Board OF County
Commissioners of Santa Fe County
on plans furnished by Walter Sharp
president of the Walter Sharp Bridge
Company of Ell Dorado, Kansas, whose
company also had the contract. The
contract was awarded on October 21
1904, and work was commenced at
once. The unusual amount of snow
and rainfall during the winter greatly
retarded the work, but it has been
thoroughly done. The handsome
structure is described as follows:
The total length of the bridge and
it's approaches is lis feet There are
three arches, each with an eighteen
foot span at the springing line and
with raise of seven feet, six inches
to the keystone Of the arch. .hsa
gives a clear water way sufficient to
carry an immense quantity of water,
and Mr.. Sharp says that it is perfectly
safe to predict that, with the great
fall which the Santa Fe River has,
the three arches will never be filled
to their capacity. In fact, 1t is doubt.
full il they will ever be more than half
full, no matter how much flood water
may come down the river This has
been demonstrated by the Don Gaspar
Avenue bridge on the street below,
which was built by Mr.. Sharp in 1908
and which successfully withstood the
floods of 1904, during which time the
two arches of that bridge were never
full of water. The width of clear
roadway on the College Street bridge
is eighteen feet, with one brick side
walk five feet wide along the eastern
side. A double iron hand rail is set
securely in the stone coping at a
height of forty-two inches and is sup
ported by iron posts, set at a distance
apart of seven feet, four inches. The
whole bridge is built on bedrock with
abutments that are eight feet, two
inches deep. With the great weight
and size of the stones used in this
constructed as it is and
with the immense weight of the super
structure resting thereon, no flood can
ever have the least effect upon it.
The completed bridge presents a
very pleasing picture to the eye, the
three arches forming a graceful eft,
feet. With the massive wing walls
on reverse curves at each end, secure
ly built into the main structure, and
the whole filled in with heavy stones,
boulders and gravel, the bridge will
improve with each succeeding year
and in time even the knockers" will
cease their plants and become recon.

The minutes of the regular annual
meeting held in April, 1904, were read
and approved. The official business of
the Bureau up to date was closed. Re
ports of the secretary and treasurer
for the year 1904 were read, discussed,
appoved and ordered fled
The board then proceeded to the
election of officers for the ensuing two
years, as prescribed by law. The
following were unanimously elected:
Granville Pendleton, Of Aztec, presi-
dent; w. B. Bunker, Las Vegas, vice
president; J. w. Bible, Hanover, re

Fe, reelected secretary.
Complimentary resolutions to the

which were ordered spread upon the

Much credit is due to Chairman Ar
thur Selixman, of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners, as it was mostl,
through his efforts that the Board act
ed favorably for the construction. Tht
bridge is one of the best in the Terri
tory, and for it's purpose is admirably
designed and constructed. 1t Is a wei
known fact that stone or cement are
the only bridge materials that will
successfully withstand the incessant
pounding and erosion to which a
bridge is subjected. This fact alone
is well worth praise, as the commits
sioners have selected the best mate
rial, the best of designs, and have in
sisted upon the best of workmanship
This bridge should be used as model
and other bridges constructed by the
county should be patterned after it. II

sioner Seligman in favor of the bridge
and for the contract for its construc-
ton. The Walter Sharp Bridge Com
pany, of which Probate Clerk ]. P
Bracket of Colfax County, is a mem.
Der, has during the past two years con.
structed one bridge near Ration and
the two stone bridges in this city. The
work that has been done on these 3
structures is the best possible adver-
tisement and will no doubt bring the
company many more contracts in New
Mexico in the future.
The cost price of both bridges in this
city, so the New Mexican is informed
by experts, is very reasonable. There
was saving on the College Street
bridge, as Mr.. Sharp furnished the
plans and asked no compensation for
the same, whereas the plans for the
Don Gaspar Avenue bridge had to be
heavily paid for.
Take 1t all in all, the property own.
ers and tax payers of Santa Fe County
and of the city, ought to feel very
proud of these two handsome, perma.
nent and greatly needed improve
ments, and all well meaning citizens
and those who have the advancement
and improvement of the city at heart,
will be glad to give due and proper
credit to the County Commissioners
for their action in the premises, and
to the Walter Sharp Bridge Company
for having faithfully and efficiently
carried out the contracts and built
such superior, strong and handsome
bridge structures as the Don Gaspar
Avenue and College Street bridges in
the Capital City of New Mexico.
