tons and tons of Congressional Records,
which the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific Railroads are obliged to carry
free of charge, according to q stipula,.
ton with Uncle Sam, made when he
granted them SO much of his broad
public domain. Daggett shipped boxes
of these documents over the road, ad-
dressed to himself and accompanied BY
his big frank and the words "Con-
gressional documents, free" During
the first session he sent seventeen tons
of this class OF matter over the road,
and as soon as he reached home he sent
it back again. Daggett's big boxes Of
Pub. Docs'' soon became notorious,
and the face and figure of the Congress-
man 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
