THE DEPOT SCORCHED.
But the Building Still Stands as
of Yore.
RECORDS WERE SAVED.
The Firemen Did Good Work at the
Fire Last Night-The North End
Entirely Destroyed-Other
News of the City.
It Still Stands.
From Tucailuy'a Daily.
The H. A M. depot had a narrow
escape from destruction by fire last
night. At 5:30 last night the fire
alarm van Hounded and the fire de
partment quickly responded to the
call. The cause of the alarm was the
H. & M. passenger depot which was
on f.rt:
The lire caught in the flue near
Aent Latham's oflice and al
though the firemen battled bravely
it wan over an hour before the fire
Was put out.
The lire burned very slow, but at
the 8ame time was making
good headway.
All records belonging to the of
fice were taken out and waved and
the only damage done was to the
building. The baggage room and
Agent Latham's room are com
pletely destroyed and if the com
pany does not decide to build anew
depot, they will at least have to re
build the north end which is ho
near destroyed that it cannot be re
paired. Last r ight only one wire was in
working order at the telegraph of
fice. This morning men were at
work putting the instruments back
iu place.
The ticket office is not damaged
any and Mr. Foster was Helling
tickets this morning aa if nothing
had happened.
The company should now at the
earliest opportunity build a new
depot on this Hide of the track and
one that would be a credit to the
city.
A Bad Fait.
-Mayor C. M. liutler failed to re

clerk of district court. A messen

Clerk Dearing that Mr. Duller had
fallen on a sidewalk and Hprained
his ankle so bad that he was un
able to bear any weight upon it.

THE MEXICAN BANDITS.'
The formal complaint of the Mex
ican government with regard to the
crossing of bandits into that coun
try from the United States deserves
prompt and careful attention. It is
a notorious fact that the neutrality
laws have been repeatedly violated
by such persons, and severe sen
tences have been inflicted upon
some of them by our courts, says
the (Jlobe-I)emoerat. The difficulty
of preventing offenses of that sort
where the conditions are so favor
able to the evasion of capture and
punishment is manifest; but it
is none me less incumbent on our
Kovcrniuent to do all it can in that
direction. It is impossible to patrol
the whole border effectually, but it
is not impossible to keep small de
tachments of soldiers at important
points und within co-operating dis
tances. The secretary of war has
lately ordered more troops X) the
Kio Grande for that purpose, by the
way, and it is to be hoped that they
will be so located as to provide rea
sonable protection against the ille
gal operations of the raiders. At
the same time, however, this service
should be judiciously performed.
It is no partof the proper business
of our army to do police work for a
neighboring nation and help it to
settle its domestic troubles. The
neutrality laws do not require us to
arrest men who are merely sus
pected of using our territory as a
place for the hatching of conspir
acy and tha organisation of revolu
tion. Action should be taken only
where the evidence of guilt is pos
itive and the identity of the accused
parties is well established.
There is every reason why a con
troversy with Mexico upon this or
any other subject should be avoid
ed. Our relations with that
country are now so friendly, and
the interestes of the two nations
are so much the same, that we can
not afford to have the situation
disturbed. ' President Dim is
