fully than on the other railroads, be-
cause Of the fact that the rebels are
constantly trying to harass the fed

with a can Of kerosene can put our
line out of commission, and the fact
that we have had bridges burned does
not indicate that the lives of the train
men are in danger from the rebels

Chihuahua over the Mexico North
