James Wilkinson, president of the

who was called to Dover. N. H., few
weeks ago on account Of the death
of his father. returned to the city last
night, says the Albuquerque Journal.
While In the east, Mr.. Wilkinson
visited Boston and other wool centers,
and says that the prospects for the
wool market the coming season are
not very flattering.
Money Is very tight all over the
east" said Mr.. Wilkinson, "the man.
ufacturers are over a month late in
getting started in their weaving
There is not much demand for wooden
goods and consequently the demand
for the staple article is rather light.
The financial stringency and the COM
ing presidential election tend to
make the eastern wool buyers rather
conservative in their speculations.
Altogether, am afraid the demand
for wool will not be very heavy the
coming season, and the price will be
affected somewhat as a result. Just
what effect this will have on local
prices remains to be seen."

ARRESTED UPON
CHARGE OF THEFT.
Negro Charged With Taking Personal
Articles from Traffic Manager
Doherty's Car.

Last Sunday afternoon, while Traf-
fic Manager VIM. Doherty's private
car, Paisano, was at the Brownsville
station, few personal articles, under
the value of fifty dollars, belonging
to T. ]. McCune, superintendent of
transportation on the Brownsville
road, were stolen from the car. Mon
day morning, Sheriff Cara was aoti-
fed by the local agent, G. T. Porter.
that negro named jim Dixon was
suspected o: having stolen the goods.
Consequently, the sheriff sent out a
deputy to look for Dixon, While word
was also sent up the line to the Off
GERS to look out for him. All day
Monday was spent looking for the ac-
cused man here, but he was finally To-
Gated at Mercedes. He was arrested
there and brought to Brownsville yes
terday afternoon by Ranger a. R.
Baker, who landed the prisoner in
the county jail
The handouts which were placed
on Dixon when he was arrested were
borrowed from an officer at Mercedes
and, owing to the fact that Ranger
Baker failed to obtain the key to the
bracelets" they could not be re-
moved from the prisoners wrists on
reaching here, until they were filed
off, which was done.
Dixon will be turned over to the
county court, as it appears the JUS
tees court has no jurisdiction in this
case.
