Printer's Error Costly.
Denver. A printer's error Is cost
ing one of the railroads running into
this city a tidy sum of money, in that
It must carry a certain class of busi

at 14 cents a hundred pounds, Instead
of at $1.14. The printer dropped out
the $1 in printing the road's tariffs.
Under a clause of the railway rate
law, no change can be made In the
printed tariff for 30 days.

MEXICAN GENERAL'S
SURRENDER AFFIRMED
Mexico City. General Navarro has
surrendered to the rebels, according
to a report that reached here from
authorities which have heretofore
proved reliable In the matter of war
news.
The government denies the report
and says that he Is awaiting rein
forcements. Officials say Pedernales
Is not menaced seriously by the reb
els.
It is known from other sources that
Navarro has been having a hard
time. His men are not used to the
severe winter climate of Chihuahua,
They are not properly clothed and are
short of food and ammunition. It Is
considered here that If Navarro has
not surrendered, he Is liable to do bo
at any time.
The government now acknowledges
that the situation is very serious. All
available troops are being sent north
as fast as possible to assist Navarro,
petitions for pardon with the execu
tive department of the government,
and that he did not wish to send
Jones to jail it he is to be pardoned.
So far as it relates to John N. Wil
liamson, ex-Representative, the case
In which ha was jointly indicted with
Mitchell, Hermann and others was
not dismissed. Heney said In an in
terview that Mr. Williamson had
asked to be vindicated and that he
thought he would give him the op-

No action was taken in the Frank-1 pubAtohes the latest and
II n Pierce Mays case, this being

Attorney McCourt by Heney. This
case will probably be acted upon af

decided upon.
8orenson Case Pending.
Two charges are still pending

not been dismissed. What Is
known as the Blue Mountain case
was dismissed as to all the defend
ants, Including Hermann, S. A. D.
Puter, Horace G. McKlnley, Brown,
Young and Tarpley. The "Moore"
case was dismissed, the "Butte
Creek" case and the charges against
C. Sam Smith, Van Qessner, Barr and
