A Dallas gentleman says
the Fort Worth and Albu-
querque will begin to build at
a point twenty miles north of
Fort Worth, on the line of
the Fort Worth and Denver,
and will use the Denver’s
track to this city while Dallas
will build to the twenty-mile
station and solid trains of
both the roads will run there.
Mr. Sommerville says no such
arrangement has been made
and that the Fort Worth and
Albuquerque will be strictly
a Fort Worth road.
