On last Friday evening, to start with,
Conductor Tim Kellogg's train got off
the track about two miles this side OF
Ackley, and men, women and children
had to walk to that station, over the
desolate prairie and through the blind
ing, horrible storm. II was late Satur-
day evening when the train passed this
place on it's eastward trip. Railroad
men can only safety guess what had
TRANSFERRED in the mean time.
On Saturday Cy Cawley's train did
not reach this place, till six o'clock in
the evening, having been detained over
two hours for repairs on a bridge, which,
by settling twelve inches immediately
after the passage Of q freight train. had
given Indications Of Instability Cy
stopped OF here, to take refreshments
and press inquiries in regard to the
missing Conductor. In convocation
of Tins friends in was decided, in alb
sence of any knowledge OF the true facts,
that that heroic spirit must have sunk
under some mountain Of snow, or dis
appeared into some ineXecutable posit-
ion of some sort or other, by means that
could not be satisfactorily settled upon.
The cenyoeation, being diligcnt friends
of Tim, were on thc point, of starting

to solve the mystery, when arumbiing
noise attracted their attention, and soon
after Tim's train hove into sight, and
iSquibob's dog Bounded Off in great
glee to bark at the headlight.
On Monday a freight train got off the
track to play in the mud near the vii
lage of Jessup, which, owing to the
length of the play, caused the westward
bound passenger and Heights to pass
the dreary night at Independence. So
Monday went to the shade and Tuesday
came to the light. @'as aHoai e. era e..91-s1-a
Tim put back to Dubuque, that being
his duty, and left the road and.the west
for the exploratory genius of Cy. The
barge at essup, in the mean time was
placed ON its careering journey toward
the eastern terminus. Unfortunately,
however, it got no farther than the vi
yinity of Manchester when it bounced
from the rails again. and left Cy in a
predicament noticable sser IL. similarity
to that which Tim had just relieved
himself from But, IS good fortune
would have it, the delay was no so long,
and Cy drove into Cedar Falls about ten
o'clock in the evening. IA Yg Eass
On Wednesday evening the train ar

hours behind time, which was general
