First Pecos River mail and passenger transfer Amidst wrecked bridge
Roswell observers watched the Pecos River transfer as a raft and skiff carried mail and passengers. The bridge lay wrecked after flood waters rose, dozens braved the crossing, and a mule cart, plus Slinkard, Torian, and Joe Torian, aided the operation. The Mexicans on the work train struck for higher pay and were promised $1.50 a day with board, ending the stoppage.
