EL PASO MORNING TIMES. TUESDAY, AUGUST IG, 1004.
General Curtailment of Eastern Roads
Was Not Felt Here—E. P. A N. E.
Laid Off Few Crews, But It Was
on Account of Strike—Minor Men-
tion.
Notwithstanding that the northern
roads are reported to have discharged
about 100.000 men on account of
slack of business, during the past
three months, the widespread depreci
ation in traffic does not seem to have
reached El Paso. Although It is the
custom with most railroad companies
to reduce their forces during the
summer months, there is only one rail-
road entering El Paso which has made
any reduction to amount to anything
and that was the El Paso-Northeast-
ern. This road in all probability
would not. have made any reductions
ha'll it not been for the strike troubles
at Alamogordo. At the offices of the
El Paso-Northeastern it was stated
today that the company expected to
resume its normal number of em
ployes by September 15 at, the latest.
The Mexican Ceptral laid off a few
crews recently on account of having
put into service eighty-five large en
gines, one of which can pul! about as
much as two of the locomotives for
merly -in use by them. They report
however, that they have more busi-
ness than they can handle in south-
ern Mexico down around Tampico.
The cattle movements are just be-
ginning and these, together with the
fruit shipments from California, which
will set in about the first of Septem-
ber, ought to make business good for
all the roads. While the Santa F<
and Southern Pacific as initial lines
have the controlling of the routing of
the fruit cars, yet east of El Paso,
traffic being very heavy at. all times
they apportion the refrigerator cars
among other lines leading out of here.
The question as to whether or not
they- have the right to arbitrarily
route these ears has been made the
subject of a suit brought by the Cali-
fornia fruit growers and it is now
pending in the United States su-
preme-court for final decision.
cars are expected to arrive from Here
ford, Arizona, within the next few
days, all 'destined for the northern
markets.

wife severely, whereupon the wife’s
father had interfered. Matters quiet-
ed down during the night, but. yester-
day morning, a few minutes before
the gang of laborers were going to
leave to begin their labors, Lopez re-
newed the quarrel of the night before
and, producing a revolver, promptly
fired two shots into the defenseless
and aged father of his wife. It is said
he immediately gathered some food
