IS less. From Lo-dsburg to Casa Grande over the present line is 230 miles. The new short cutoff would probably approximate the same length. From Lordsburg, N. M., to Moiave, Cal, by the present line is 765 miles. The new cutoff between these points would probably be just about 700 miles long.
 But saving in distance is not the ob- ject of the new cutoff line for either road. It is being built to get better grades and curvature. There are steep grades on the existing lines of both roads to be avoided. On the Southern Pacific in the neighborhood of Benson, Ariz., there is ruling grade both east and westbound of "A feet to the mile, or IA per cent. On this 164 miles be- tween Lordsburg and Tucson there are total ascents of 2,l4S feet westbound and 4,O03 feet eastbound. These would be avoided by even the short Lords burg-Casa Grande cutoff. Further west there are heavy grades which would be avoided by using the longer cutoff all the way to Mojave, Cal. Between Palm Springs, Cal, and Colton, 49 miles, the limiting gradients are 103 feet to the mile, or l.9 per cent westbound, and 104 feet eastbound, with total aseents of 1898 feet west and 1912 feet east bound. Between Cotton and Los An geles, 57 miles, the maximum grade ex- ceeds 1 per cent both ways, being 66 feet to the mile, or l2 per cent, west. bound, and 64 feet to the mile east bound, with total ascents of 359 feet west and 1,066 feet eastbound. Thus such new cutoff line would avoid three grades of over 1 per cent, both east bound and westbound, with total as- cents of 4,44l feet west and 6,6Sl feet eastbound.
 On the Santa Fe, between Winslow, Ariz., and Needles, Cal, 292 miles, there are 5,307 feet of westbound and 9,67s feet of eastbound ascents, with ruling grades of 75 feet to the mile IA per cenD westbound, and l37 feet to the mile (2.5 per cent) eastbound. From Needles west to Gofis, 8 miles, there is rise of 2,l04 feet to the top of Uiute summit, and from Goffs west a fall of l,s76 feet in the 4G miles to Ben gal. The Piute summit has an elevation of 2,5S0 feet against maximum ele vation of l,053 feet over the Old Wo- man mountain summit, which the Ari zona & California is to cross between the Colorado river and Bengal.
 As the new line is not yet built it is impossible to say how much saving it will show in gradients and curv, ture over the existing lines, but as il follows water courses for much of its distance and has been laid out with the idea of improving on the existing roads, it is fair to assume that it will be a much more efficient line to operate than the present through line of either road.

DYING IN ALLEY;
 FOUND BY OFFICER
Mexican Frightfully Stabbed Is Found by Phoenix Officer in an Uncon- scious Condition-The Affair Seems to Be Enshrouded in Great Mystery.

A Mexican, presumably named Ma zon, was found Monday night in the alley back of Thalheimer s saloon by Major Ivy in an unconscious condition, and for a time it was thought that he had received his fatal harpoon. Mr. Ivy came upon the Mexican while pass ing through, looking for the sinful, and rolled him over and saw not much signs of life. The ground about him was sat urated with blood and the victim of someone's frenzy was bleeding pro fusely ill three places Finally he seemed to revive and with help Mir. Ivy took him over to the county jail, says the Phoenix Republican.
 The examination showed that the man had been stabbed just below the not missing the eyeball by more than hair s breadth. A fraction lower and the eyesight would have been destroyed. The Mexican s lips were also stabbed, and he had another thrust on top of the head. It seemed that his assailant had grasped the knife in his fist and delib- erately stabbed his victim without do-
 ing any miscellaneous slashing. As it was, the wounds were painful enough and he lost blood enough to kill an or dinary man, and had he not been found till few hours later he would have been lifeless corpse. The county phy- sieian says that he will now get along all right.
 It is not likely that his adversary will be landed in jail, as he has prob ably flown to parts unknown, and be- sides, his Identification would be diff fcult, considering the boozeful condi- tion of the wounded Mexican at the time of the fight. He will be held by Justice Kyle for few days until he improves and to await further develop ments. Yesterday Justice Kyle also had Francisco Garcia, Jasquie Valen- cia, Salamar Roma, Ygnacio Robles and c. Beltram, who were given days in the cellar for drunkenness and incidental affrays.

mob this morning overpowered the
three officers who had the prisoner in
charge, hanged him to a bridge near
the town and riddled his body with
bunets.
Mrs. Cora A. Higgins, the mother
of the victim of the mob, who resides
in Denver, has been notified.
AS precautionary measures, Hig-
gins was given his preliminary hear
ing on an Overland limited Union
Pacific train, and has since been held
in the jail at Omaha.
Sheriff Young of Thurston county,
went to Omaha last night, secured
the prisoner, obtained two other
guards to help him Offset any attempt
at a lynching, and started for Ban

county, where Higgins was to have
been placed on trial.

On the train Higgins, noticing the ex-
ira guard, smiled and said
"There is no need of this; | wont
try to get away.
He did not seem to realize his dan
ger and was cheerful on his trip to
Bancroft.
The train bearing Higgins and his
guard arrived in Bancroft at s o'clock
this morning. A mob of more than a
hundred men awaited it. All the
men were armed and they scrambled
on the coaches before the train had
stopped.
Locating Young, his deputies and
his prisoner, a demand was made for
the murderer. Young and his men
resisted, but were soon overpowered
and the prisoner, trembling, miser-
able human being, was taken from
them.
