UNSUCCESSFUL HUNT.
S, 3. Grimshaw, of the Santa Fe Cen
tral, Unable to Secure Clew
to Holdup.

Although S. 3. Grimshaw, Assistant
to the President and General Manager
of the Santa Fe Central Railway,
spent greater part of "Wednesday at
Willard, where the Santa Fee Central
agent at that place was held up Sun
day night by three masked men, ne
was unable to form any definite idea
as to who the robbers may have been.
as no, clews were available.
Immediately upon receiving the re.
port of the robbery, Mr.. Grimshaw
consulted with Warden Bursum, OF the
penitentiary, with the result that a
special train was arranged for, and
the bloodhounds from the penitentiary
were taken to the scene of the rob
berry.
The dogs were placed upon the
scent, but owing to the fact that sc
many persons had crossed the tracks
left by the robbers II
their flight down the righ
of way to there they presuma
bly, had their horses hidden, the dog
were unable to pick up the trail. A
the point where the highwaymen lef
the railroad tracks the dogs were una
Bile to locate any trail, although SOM
time was spent in examining bot
sides of the track.
| AS the case now stands, it |
thought by those having the investigs
tion in charge that there is but littl
! hope Of ever apprehending the guilt
| parties, as no clews whatever were lei
| behind, other than the meagre descril
tion secured from the agent.

How long have you known hlm?'
is then asked. After the witness has
answered this question, he Is then
asked if the party mentioned owns
any property there.
This form of questioning Is pro-
pounded to the witness for each one
of the 139 plaintiffs mentioned in the
case, and as many more people as the
defendants think advisable, who are
residents Of Costilla, so that the same
questions are asked concerning IN all
about $50 people, as 1t is the object oi
the attorneys for the defense to try to
bring out the fact that many other per
: sons beside the plaintiffs were living
on the grant, and that the settlers
were not in exclusive possession oi
