Body Found by Negro,

Harris body was first discovered by an
unidentified negro about 6 o'clock yester-
day morning. and he reported its finding
10 Clinton Cantwell of ia 7th street
southwest and to John Fluey of 1112 18th
street southwest After pointing out the
position of the body the negro disappeared.
Cantwell approached the body, discovered
the bullet hole In the head. and glance
sufficed TO prove TO him that life had been
extinct for several hours. This removed
any suspicion that the negro may have
had anything to do with the shooting, be-
cause IL he had been fugitive from JUS
tice he would have been much farther
away than the three squares which sepa-
rated him from the point where he found
Messrs. Cantwell and Fluey.
Practically the only element OF mystery
injected into the case was due to the
finding of several strange notes and let
tiers in Harris pockets and in his room at
rs New York avenue. One OF these,
written on a sending blank of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, was
identified as being in the young mans
own handwriting. though it was addressed
10 him. 1t reads as follows: BE in Bal
timore at am. Tuesday without fail.
(S,gnedD "Florie Leidman. Room lat, Rem
merits Hotel. Baltimore"
Another letter. signed ''Florie and
Daisy" read: Dear: Stay where you
are, no one knows. Tell Norval not to
worry about father, for he can't ind you.
Stay with y. III. Will see you In the
morning Sunday"
Letters Believed Meaningless.
So far as the detectives have been able
to discover these communications are
meaningless. and they are taken to In
dictate a disordered state of the young
mans mind. which induced him TO leave
IN apparent mystery about himself. The
police found no indications OF a struggle
around the spot where Harris body was
found. such as might have been expected
IL murder had been committed.
So far as known Harris had no enc
mics. and robbery could not have been
the object of an assassin. since Harris
money, amounting TO about $43, was
intact in his pocketbook.

BURRO MOUNTAIN RAILWAY
ENGINEER VISITS Ell PASO.
Work VIII BE Completed January 1911
Heavy Grading Work Encountered.
VIII Benefit Mines.

c. c. Small, of Tyrone, n. NJ, chief
engineer Of the Burro Mountain rail-
way, now under construction from the
mines Of the Burro mountains to White
Water N NJ, is at the Zeiger. Mr..
Smalf says that work is progressing
satisfactorily, operations at present be-
ing at the mountain end of the road.
1t is a rather expensive piece of work
as about $4,000 cubic yards of dirt per
mile must be removed. Most of 1t rock
work.
AS soon as the roadbed is graded out
Of the mountains and the plains are
reached, the work will be easy and viii
be rapidly finished. 1t is expected that
the new road will be completed to the
present surveyed terminus by the first
of the coming year. 1t Will be a strictly
mineral railroad, and the tonnage Will
be very large, being ow grade ores
and concentrates from the great copper
ore bodies now being explored and de-
veloped by the several mining COM
panies.
Mr.. Small declares that he does not
know who the real owners Of the new
road are. as il is kept a profound Sc
cret. The surveyed line is for White
Water, a station on the Santa Fe line.

With Pointers About
Paving.

After meeting president Taft at
Washington and lesser celebrities in
Chicago and New York, W. J. Spohr,
ticket agent at the union station has
returned to FL Paso with his wife and
children. Mr.. Spohr has been absent
a month, and has seen many things OF
interest in eastern cities.
Through an Ell Paso immi grafton
man we had some letters at the white
house." says the Ell PasOan, and be-
fore we knew it, we met president Taft.
1 told him that 1 had seen him in
Ell Paso and he smiled. He smiled all
the time. in fact, one continual, long
smile-just like a Billiken."
Incidentally. Mr.. Spohr, who is a
property owner here, has accumulated
some ideas about street paving. Il can't
see why they are making such a fuss
here about narrow streets I notice in
Chicago that most of the side streets
are narrow, and that some are being
cut down with parking instead of paw
ing. If Chicago does 1t, L see no rea-
son why Ell Paso should not, since there
are so many unpaved streets here If
the paving is half as narrow it can be
made twice as long 1T the same cost.
