NEW MEXICO
CENTRAL RUMORS
Railroad Yarn That Involves
Rock Island and Denver
& Rio Grande
BUT CANNOT Be VERIFIED
However Some Changes Appear
TO Be Pending and VIII Soon
Be Effective.

Railroad news of special interest to
Santa Fe is about to be announced,
so street rumor has it. According to
report, the New Mexico Central is in
cluded in the recent deal by which
the Rock Island system gobbled up
the Lehigh Valley TO get an entrance
into Jersey City and New York. and
the Wabash, to connect its Chicago
line with the Lehigh Valley at Buffalo.
In this deal is said TO close traffic
arrangement with the Denver and Rio
Grande, by which both roads agree to
take over the New Mexico Central for
$1,S50,000 and the Hagan coal fields
of the New Mexico Fuel and Iron
Company for an additional half mil
lion. The line to Hagan is to be COM
pleted within six months, work to be-
gin on or soon after January Is. The
deal is also to involve the building
of a connection of the Rock Island
from Santa Rosa to Moriarty and
thence to Algodones via Hagan for
close connection with the Santa Fe
over which the Rock Island expects to
run some of it's trains to the coast in
case of disagreement with the El
Paso and Southwestern and Southern
Pacific AS part of the scheme, the
Denver and Rio Grande is to be
standard gauged from Santa Fe to
Antonito, Colo. All this sounds very
plausible, but the New Mexican is in
clined to skepticism. However, this
much seems certain, that some deal
involving the New Mexico Central
and the Hagan coal fields is pending
and is expected to be closed by Janu
ary IS. The local offices of the New
Mexico Central and the Denver & Rie
Grande railroads deny all knowledge
OF the reported deal and declare it is
fairy tale as far as they know.
Col. w. S. Hopewell, yice-president
of the New Mexico Central, and presi
dent of the New Mexico Fuel Com
pany, has been in Pittsburg, Washing
ton D. c., and New York in consulta
tion with the prominent eastern finan
ciers.

ASKS 100000 DAMAGES
FOR CHARACTER DEFAMATION.
Church Quarrel at Colfax, Washing

BY Minister.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 29.--Rev. H.
G. Buss, former pastor of First Bap-
tist church at ColfaX, Wash. now at
Kansas City. Mo-, where he was call
ed to the bedside of his sick child,
has engaged counsel in Spokane to
institute an action in the United
States district court here for 100000
damages against the officials and dea-
cons of the congregation for alleged
defamation of character The case
will involve many of the most prom
inent residents of Whitman county
and promises to be interesting The
complaint will set forth that the
minister was "manhandled" by a
committee of churchmen in forcing
his removal from the parsonage on
the night of June 2. Charges of mis-
conduct were preferred by the trus-
tees and a battle of words followed
and continued in the auditorium of the
church, where Mrs. Buss came to the
rescue with a loaded six shooter, caus-
ing a lively stampede. She was tried
and fined 81 and costs and an appeal
is pending The clash, which includ-
ed personal assaults and numerous
gun plays, constituted one of the
most sensational church quarrels in

Execution of Cannon and Groce.
Managua, Dec. 29.-Recent reports
that Groce and Cannon, American re-
cruits in the insurgent army, were
tortured before being shot to death
by order of President Zelaya are un-
true The facts were in possession of
the state department at Washington
month ago and it was generally sup
I osed here that the details of the
tragedy had been given publicity
through official channels. Advantage
has been taken of the opportunity in
some instances to paint the picture
more interesting than truthful. Groce
and Cannon were notified of the death
sentence at 1920 on the night of No
vember Is. They were executed at
10 o'clock the following morning. AS
they marched out of the pail, driz-
zie rain fell. On the way to the
scene of execution, they passed the
open graves prepared for them. AT
one time, Groce stepped out of the
ipn nF ,,1n wi
eral Medina: DO not shoot me. am
a brother Mason" he said. Cannon
quickly seized his companion and
pulliyg g him back into line said:
Brace up old man, we have no
chance under Zelaya's orders
Standing in the center of the square
formed by hundred soldiers, the
two men heard their sentence read
from four corners together with the
usual warning in such cases: Any
one displaying any evidence of sym
pathy will be shot in similar fash
ion ;"
The hands of the condemned mer
were bound and their eyes blindfold'
ed. Cannon shook his head attempting
to prevent the bandage being placed
over his eyes, but his protest was un-
availing. They were seated on a low
bench, side by side. The firing squad
was made up of twelve soldiers who
advanced within six feet of their vic
tins. Captain Constantin Saiz was in
command and instructed two soldiers
d at the right to fire upon Groce and
two on the left to fire on Cannon. All
four bullets were effective. Groce
was shot through the heart and death
was instantaneous. The bullets intend
ed for Cannon tore open his chest
and abdomen. He survived the
wounds a few seconds When the
body of Groce was buried a blanke
hid his features but the body of Can
non was buried without any protect
