The report current in Juarez and

Mexican labOrers had been burned.
while not denied at the North Western
offices, was not believed to be true. No
report OF such q fire had been made by

May Restore Traffic.
Owing to the burning Of two bridges
south OF Juarez at a flag station be-
tween Gallegos and LOaza Thursday
night, a work train was sent to the
scene this morning and If the bridges
reported are the only bridges burned.
traffic may be resumed within a day or
two. AS the lines are down south OF
Moctezuma, the only way the extent or
the damage can be learned is to wait
until section foremen can send their
reports by way of handcar to MOcte-
yuma to be wired thence to Juarez.
There IS a disposition to believe that
the bridges destroyed were destroyed
by or under orders from the officers OF
the troop train which went south from
Juarez Thursday afternoon. and the
basis for the belief is that they feared
that. Salazar would attempt to follow
them into chihuahua by train.
