ertv ui railroad companies hW here d.

Wlrcd mo t0 bus ticket GAP Williams,
Arlg n order a. reach here ON lim-
He'd tmin which 7 lhmk is absolutely
unwarraninhly WORKING against the
interests Of New Mexico
In seeking % secure aCconmoda-
Toms today returning to Chieagu, I
find no space ON trains reserved f0r
sale here PASSENGERS taking train
here being dependent on what is lett
after those west of here have been
accommodated
