THE NEW PEcos BRIDGE.
A Communication From Citizens int
crested East of the River.

crested East of the River.
To the Editor of the Record::-
Perhaps a few words to explain the
location of the settlement and to give
the views of the people living east
of tina Pecos river would be of inter
est at this time, when the question
of where to build the new bridge is
being discussed.
The principal settlement is located
east and northeast of Dexter. The
people unanimously want the bridge
located as near due east of Dexter
as possible, so that they may reach
the railroad at its nearest station
and get their mail at the nearest post
office.
Then again this location will give
to our people the nearest way to
Roswell to do their trading, which al
ready amounts to no small sum. II
the bridge should be located farther
down stream it would take two days
to make the trip instead of one, and
consequently the trips to Roswell
would be few and far between. 1t is
a common interest between the bust
ness men of Roswell and the people
of Spring Mound Valley that the new
bridge be located as near due east of
Dexter as a suitable location may be
found, and we trust that the good bu-
siness sense of the board of county
commissioners will give us the loca-
ton of the bridge where it should
logically be.
There are several supporting rea-
sons why the bridge should be locat-
ed east of Dexter, among them:
l. 1t is a sound principle of govern
ment that the money of the people
should be expended wnere it will ben
eft the greatest number of people.
East of Hagerman there is not a sin
gle settler; east of Dexter there are
seventy families. Manifestly the ar
gument is all in favor of the north
site, and it will be time enough to
build the bridge east of Hagerman
when there are any people across
the river from that point to be ac-
commodated.
g It is a matter of common equity
that the taxable property benefited
should be considered. Across the RI
yer from Hagerman there isn't a
cent; east of Dexter there are many
fine farms and "a growing community,
who have been giving up their good
money and getting nothing in return
except a school. There would be ben
eft to a large community of farmers
in one instance, and solely to the
merchants of Hagerman in the other

Fatal Accident in Long Railway Tun
mel Near Butte.

Butte, Feb. 22.-Percy Hammer, aged
Fl years, fireman on the Great Nor
them railway, was found dead in the
cab of his engine this morning at 6:1O
O'Clock and the engineer of the train,
l.. A. Drukey was removed in an un-
conscious condition to Murray's hos
pital, due to the inhaling of gases
while their engine was stalled in the
Woodville tunnel, just short dis
lance from this city. Hammer when
discovered had his head in the water
tank of the tender, while the head of
the engineer was buried in the coal
pit.
After the engine became stalled, it
is presumed that the two men realiz-
ed that they were fast becoming un-
conscious and rushed from the cab in
to the tender with the hope of escap-
ing the powerful gases from the
smoke. Hammer must have been in
the lead and on reaching the water
tank stuck his head into it and there
died, his head being covered by wa
ter when found. Drukey run his head
into the coal pit and there was found
unconscious. After being got out he
was removed to the hospital and this
afternoon he is reported to have fully
recovered consciousness and is not
now much the worse for his terrible
experience.

Turns Comedy to a Tragedy.

Denver, Feb. 22.-Leaving her seat
in one of the boxes in the Crystal
theater, a few minutes after the op-
ening of this afternoons performance,
Mrs. C. A. Weilder, said to be a resi-
dent of this city, made her way to
the stage, and after flourishing a re.
volver for a moment in full view of
the audience. discharged the weapon
at her own person, inflicting a prob
ably fatal wound.
The woman fell gasping to the floor
but those in the audience who had
not observed her movements, prior to
her approach to the stage, thought that
the shooting was part of burlesque
act, and made no cutlery. A moment
later, however, the screams of the
performers in the wings brought a re-
alization upon the audience that a
real tragedy had been enacted.
When the woman was picked up by
the stage attendants she was uncon-
scious and one hand still held the
weapon, while in the other picture,
said to be that of her 7-year-old son,
was tightly clutched. An ambulance
was summoned to the door of the the
alter and the dying woman was re.
moved to the emergency hospital.
Quiet was restored in the theater in
a short while and the performance
was resumed.

a terrific explosion and the horses
started down the canyon like small

them with waving blankets and re-

past the rustlers fired several shots
at us but as it was hardly light they
missed. To add to our citation, the
