CHANGE IN SANTA FE TINE.
Completion Of Reconstruction Ef-
fects Time Saving.

Effective Monday, Santa Fe south
bound passenger train No. 201 which
has been due TO arrive here at 1915
in the morning will arrive over the
Panhandle cutoff at 1895. The
opening OF the cutoff will also en-
able the Santa Fe train to get out
in the afternoon without waiting for
the Denver to precede them to Wash
burn and train No, 202 northbound
will leave at 4:45. This will take
the Santa Fe train out OF Amarillo
before the Denver southbound ar
rlves so that passengers from the
Denver for the Santa Re will have
to stop over here. But as the num-
her who make that transfer is not
large, the change will not cause
much inconvenience. A large num-
Der OF passengers from the incoming
Pecos Valley train every evening
take the Denver southbound and all
these will make connection as usual.
Saving in time by cutting out the
extra mileage and the delays OF the
old line from Panhandle and better
time over the reconstructed part OF
the line is responsible for the earlier
arrival OF the morning train.

 In this note deceased shows he was worried over the possibility of any suspicion for the killing of Daggs and Hunter resting upon him.

ANOTHER TRAGEDY
 IN FINAL COUNTY
Suicide of Geo. p. Hunstock Believed to Be the Result of Worry Over the
 Double Murder at Superior Jan. i.

The Florence Blade which arrived yesterday. brings the news of another tragedy in that county which is traced back to the bloody episode of January 1st. when 4. J. Daggs and George Hunter Were slain, and for which crime MeSSrS. Stewart and Fondren are now awaiting the action of the grand jury. This incident is the sui eide of a man who had been brought into the case as witness and who it appears had been made 10 believe partly through the jokes of his friends. that in certain quarters he had been looked upon as an accomplice in the crime. The Blade says:
 Geo. r. Hunstock-knOwn as Shorty-was found dead in bed in his cabin situated about - miles north east of Florence near the Blackbird mine. on the road from Florence to Pinal via Reymert mine. Thursday morning by Deputy Sheriff R. NJ Harkey of Superior. Tied to d bed post of the bed on which the body laid. was a 45-75 rifle with which he had taken his own life The body was in an almost intoierahle state of decom- position. showing that he had been dead for a long time.
 R. NJ. Harkey was on his way from Superior to the Oklahoma mining camp Thursday morning. This trail leads past the cabin owned and Occu- pied by Shorty" Hunstock. Under sheriff Harkey had heard that shorty was either at Bisbee or Phoenix and therefore when he saw Shortys forge and mining tool sharpening equipment outside the cabin, it led him to inves- tigate prompted evidently by the

thought that Shorty might have re-
 turned. On drawing nearer the house he noticed a peculiar Odor as of some thing in a horrible state of decompo- sition and tried 10 enter door. which he found locked. He then went to the
 window and found board torn off as ! though someone else had been there and finding what Mir. Harkey also found. had gone away and failed to report. probably fearing to do so lest suspicion should fall on him.
 As quickly as possible Mir. Harkey informed the sheriff and coroner and the corOner's jury found upon inves- tigation that shorty had taken his own life. and rendered verdict ac- cordingly. He had tied gun-a 45-15 calibre rifle-tO a post of the bed and then sitting down upon the edge of the bed. had with one hand pulled the barrel Of the gun down on level with his heart and held it there while with the other hand he had showed the trigger with q stick. The bullet en- tered his body just. below the center Of his heart. passing through it and coming out at his left shoulder blade. lodging in q 4X4 post in the corner of the house. The bullet was extri- cated and found 10 be of the ball of the 45-15 gun tied to the bed.
 "On the dead mans person was found SIS in money, a key ring with two rings on it upon which was also stamped the number 13. and a pocket knife. He left a number of notes show ing that he was worried over the mur- der of \. J. Daggs and Geo. Hunter. which occurred near Superior on Jan. l, last. in which case he was to be a witness for the prosecution and con- sidered the main witness. He also left other notes bequeathing his worldly possessions and requesting that he be buried near his cabin. It is supposed he came originally from Missouri though among his letters none could be found from relatives
 The last time Shorty was seen alive that can be recalled by the Florence people was on Jan. r when he was in

Says the lBluefeld Telegraph:
Judge Tom Brown, of Writ, in an
exhaustive review of the state COM
mittee's sitting at Charleston among
other things, a good many other
things, says that the Greenbrier
Sxisher delegates were seated by the
committee. They were not seated,
the scherr delegation being awarded
that contest. almost unanimously.
Then he criticlses the action OF the
committee in seating the Swisher del
legation from Cabell, and throws a
few Mysteries on that score. Be 1t
known that after the committee
heard both sides Col. Robert Stallings
a Seherr supporter, and a candidate
on the scherr ticket today, arose and
volunteered the information that he
was present at the Cabell convention

No Fusion VIII BE.

Ever since the Charleston conven-
ton advocates of Arnold G. Scherr
have been suggesting compromise.
This fact is plain admission that
they have no standing in court much
less any standing. All in the wide
world 1t is, is an effort to retrieve
their position in the party, which
they so hastily deserted because they
recognized the fact that they were
defeated.
If there had been the possession of
what they claim to promote party
welfare, they would have gone into
the regular convention and laid their
claims before the delegates of that
great body. If they had been sincere
in desiring the nomination of new
man, they would have gone into the
convention with that suggestion and
worked earnestly to that end, or they
would have taken the initial step in
their rump affair and named a new
man. whom they could have offered
with some degree of propriety as
compromise candidate.
But, instead they withdrew from
their party, renowned their alleg-
lance, denounced its governor and
United States senator's and formed a
new party, which they declared and
named in their own meeting openly
the Lincoln Republican party, an act
they have been trying to deny ever
since, since 1t takes from them all
standing in the Republican party and
leaves them alone in political circles,
and without standing in court, when
it comes to passing on their party al
lance.
The Republican party can not and
will not entertain any compromise
suggestion on their part, which in
wolves the personnel of the state
ticket. If any overtures are made
between either party, 1t will not re-
suit in any semblance of fusion as the
Republican party stands on It's own
foundation and will not take single
step to lose its individuality or in
tegrity.
1t is absolute folly for the new
party to dwell upon the idea Of COM
promise. II 1t regrets Its hasty ac-
ton. there are ways and means OF
an honorable nature 1t can take to
return to the Republican party,

Thus Is exploded another deceptive
story. which every one who heard
Mont Topping at the Charleston con
vention and every one familiar with
his course there pronounced a fake
the moment they read It.
Topping declared himself at Char
lesion during the convention in a
way no honest man could misunder-
stand. and the report sent out from
Petersburg about him did him an
injustice. Not only was It an in
Justice but 1t was also an outrage.
The sequel shows the unrellability
OF certain selfish, but disappointed
elements, and this instance cinches
the assertion that their reports are
untrue and their methods deceptive.
