Pulliam charges that his private mail
has been tampered with in the local
postofdce and that an affidavit ad-
dressed to the third assistant post
master general was held up, photo
graphed and given to the Champion
competitor. In it's issue the Champion
demands a full investigation of the
charges. Mr.. Pul1iam also made a per-
sonal demand by calling on Postmaster
General Hitchcock for an immediate in
vestigation.
Because he has published a fearless,
unsubsidized, progressive paper, Mr..
Pull1am says he has been made the VIC
tim of a conspiracy between Congress
man Anthony, Postmaster Casey and the
Atchfson Light company to ruin the
Champion. He says his advertisers
have been threatened. his circulation
assafled, his personal business and pr1-
vate correspondence tempered with.
Last fall the Champion made a win
ming fight for lower rates in Atchison
and the light company has not forgot
ten that the Champion was responsible
fo1 the reduction, Mr.. Pulliam says.
The alleged organized effort against the
Champion, he says, began after Post
master Casey had attempted to bride
Pulliam into supporting Congressman
Anthony for denomination.

A relief train which reached Mexico

were accounted for last night.
It was estimated that the train car
ried approximately seventy-five pas

diers of the escort. Forty-three SOL
diers were killed. Nine bodies of pas
sengers were found near the wreck.
OF the remaining thirty-two, a ma
jority are believed to have been killed
or wounded and consumed in the
burning cars which were fired with oil
taken from the tank of the locomo-
tive.
Before the attack on the train be-

otherwise horribly mutilated
The Zapatistas robbed the dead and
living and looted the express car.
Span1ard VINO was on the train,
land owner of Morelos, known to the
rebels, had narrow escape. A priest
interceded for him and his life was
spared. Witnesses say the priest walk
ed into the thick of the fray and
sought out De Lao, the leader, and
said to him:
"Genevevo, what are you doing?
Would you have the blood of innocent
people on your hands?"
The execution then was stopped.
The Spaniard said most of the rebels
were boys scarcely out of their teens.
The rebels, he said, had well filled
cartridge belts.

Other Items of Interest in the
Traffic World.

Austin, Tex, July 22.-According to
advices received by the State Railroad
Commission the port of Galveston will
soon be Connected with Seattle by a
through freight and passenger service
over the lines belonging to the Hill sys-
tenn. Is is stated that plans for this
proposed "gulf-to-sound" service are
practically finished and that the
through trains will be put on within
the next few weeks, the exact date not
having been decided upon. All that is
lacking to make the necessary rail con-
nection for an unbroken line of Hill
properties from Galveston to Seattle is
the finishing of the construction work
on the Burlington through Big Horn
Canyon in Montana. 1t is stated that
new line are finished and that the track
will soon be laid.
The route will be from Galveston 70
Fort Worth over the Trinity and Bra
zos Valley, in which the Burlington
owns a one-half interest; from Fort
Worth to Tex1ine, over the Fort Worth
and Denver City; from Texline to Orine
Junction via Denver and Cheynne
over the Colorado and Southern; from
Orine Junction to the Powder River
over the Chicago and Northwestern;
from the Powder River to a point near
Billings, Mont, over the Burlington
and from point near Billings to Seat
tie over the Northern Pacific. The
opening of this new road to through
traffic is expected to prove of great
Importance to Texas and the port Of
Galveston particularly. 1t will be a
down-grade line much of the distance
from the Rocky Mountain territory.
In preparation for the large tonnage
that Is expected to flow through the
new gulf outlet of the Hill system the
