A western congressman is said To
have been defeated by railroad officials
who had taken olfense ut his pFofuse
shipment of public documents. He had
shipped boxes of these documents oyer
the road addressed TO himself and &C
companied by his big trunk and the
words, Congressional documents, free"
During the first session he sent seven
teen tons of this class of matter over the
road, and as soon as he reached home he
sent it back again. His big boxes of
pub. docs" soon became notorious on
the road, and the face and figure of the
congressman were also pretty well
known. Wherever he stopped he was
sure to ask some of the freight agents if
they had seen any of my free freight
lately" He always made himself
known, and was sure To add, You
must handle those boxes gently, They
contain the speeches of some of the
greatest men of the nation. If you
damage any of them I'll sue the road for
the full value On election day the
railway officials worked hard TO keep
him at home. When it was known that
he was defeated nearly every freight and
baggageman ON the line got drunk, and
for couple of days the road was utterly
demoralized. So the story goes, but
Nevada stories, though good, are not al
ways true.
