C, & 5. TO ADOPT
new SCHEDULE FOR
WINTER MONTHS

lie has been rumored about the
offices of the Colorado d Southern
Railway that on and after October
II change Will be effected in the
schedule of trains : and s.
II is more than probable that No.
s. which arrives in Trinidad at 1:O5
n. IN. from the north and No. Z
which arrives in Trinidad at 1895
,. m. from the south will be taken
off south of Trinidad.
Train No. Z, northbound. will
leave Trinidad at p. m. and will
run through to Denver. The train
will carry standard equipment, in
cluding a chair car. dining car and
one Pullman car. Train No. s..
southbound. will arrive in Trinidad
at 7:40 a. m. and will only run be-
tween Pueblo and Trinidad. leaving
Pueblo at 4 a. m. A Trinidad sleep
ing car will be carried out OF Dem
yer on Santa Fe No. G. which leaves
Denver at 7:45 p. m. This car will
be transferred to C. & S. No. S at
Pueblo. Northbound No. Z, which
will leave Trinidad at p. M, wilN
arrive in Denver at $40 p. m.
Although this new schedule is not
official nor as yet definite 1t rs more
than likely that It will go into effect
October II. With this new arrange
ment the travelling public between
Trinidad and Denver and other
points north will be greatly benfit-
ed and will especially be conven-
ience to those wishing to go to Wal
senburg and only spend the after
noon. as they can leave Trinidad at
l p. m. and arrive in Walsenburg in
ample time to transact any business
and return to Trinidad at s O'Clock
in the evening.
Travel south of Trinidad will not
be as convenient as in the past but It
is thought that arrangements will
be made whereby this traffic will be
taken care Of in first class shape.
