my humble judgment, injured the
cause o IA very good, true and loyal
man. The statement to which refer

wherein you state that practically
all the miners believe that Hayes win
be reelected
I wish to say that this is-not the
case here, and have heard the men
inscther sections express their belief
that Mr.. John a. Walker would be
the next National President. Now
do not think that your paper did this
with the intention Of injprng the
cause Of. Mr.. Walker, but you were
naisinfcrmed.
Thanking you In advance for max
ing this correction, and wishing you
success. am, Yours very truly,

Railroad Employe Injured.

Tuesday afternoon Mr.. W. j.
Fitzpatrick, icing inspector for
the Santa Fe, was seriously in
jured in the yards by falling from
the top of a freight car. He was
walking on top of train that
was being switched, and a car
was cut off just as he attempted
to step on it, precipitating him
to the ground in front of the NOV
ing train. Fortunately he fell
between the rails, and the train
was stopped just as the first trucks
passed over him. He was taken
to the hospital at Albuquerque on
the first train, as it was feared
he was seriously injured intern
ally from the effects of the fall.
Wednesday morning word was
received from the hospital at AL
buquerque that Mr.. Fitzpatrick
had passed away from the effects
of his injuries. His mother, who
resides in the east, was notified
of his death, and funeral ar
rangements will not be made un-
til her arrival, Mrs. Fitzpatrick
was present with her husband
when he died.
